(TIRED) SHUSHED FROM THE ROOFTOPS
(TIRED) AMPLIFY A PIN DROP
(TIRED) WITH FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS
(TIRED) NO GENTLE JUGGERNAUTS
OUR MORAL COMPASS HAS ARRIVED (PRAISE JAH!)
WHAT ON EARTH WOULD WE DO?
WITHOUT YOU, WE’D BE HAVING
UNPROTECTED SEX AND SNIFFING GLUE
PLUCKED FROM THE WI-FI
AND DROPPED IN THE STREETS
MORE LUKEWARM HOT TAKES
FROM A BLEEDING HEART EFFETE
(TIRED) ANOTHER INTERRUPTION
(TIRED) ANOTHER FORCED ASSUMPTION
(TIRED) CAN’T TURN YOURSELF OFF
(TIRED) HIGH HORSE GETS SICK GETS SHOT
OUR MORAL COMPASS HAS ARRIVED (PRAISE JAH!)
WHAT ON EARTH WOULD WE DO?
WITHOUT YOU, WE’D BE HAVING
UNPROTECTED SEX AND SNIFFING GLUE
PLUCKED FROM THE WI-FI
AND DROPPED IN THE STREETS
MORE LUKEWARM HOT TAKES
FROM A BLEEDING HEART EFFETE
HELL OF A TRICK
YOU’VE GOT YOURSELF CONVINCED
THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD; THE STATUS QUO
CAN ALSO BE SUBVERSIVE
HELL OF A TRICK
YOU’VE GOT YOURSELF CONVINCED
WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY RUN FOR OFFICE
OUR MORAL COMPASS HAS ARRIVED

I’M FINALLY MAKING PEACE
WITH THE BOOT STANDING ON MY NECK
BECAUSE WHEN THINGS GET HEAVY
I’M GETTING DRUNK ON THE DISCONNECT
THESE ARE YOUR NEEDS
I’M HAPPY TO MEET
DROPPED A COUPLE SLOTS DOWN THE LIST
I’M STARTING UP A SECOND SHEET
SOMETIMES OUR AGENCY
GETS LOST SO EASILY
THERE IS NO I
IN AUTONOMY
EX-COMM’D VOLUNTARILY
SIGHS BECOME PROPHECY
THERE IS NO I
IN AUTONOMY
SOMETIMES A COMPROMISE
TASTES JUST LIKE GIVING IN
DRESSED UP FOR HALLOWEEN
FRANK STEIN IN A PRISONER’S SKIN
THESE ARE YOUR NEEDS
I’M HAPPY TO MEET
DROPPED A COUPLE SLOTS DOWN THE LIST
I’M STARTING UP A SECOND SHEET
SOMETIMES OUR AGENCY
GETS LOST SO EASILY
THERE IS NO I
IN AUTONOMY
EX-COMM’D VOLUNTARILY
SIGHS BECOME PROPHECY
THERE IS NO I

SENTIMENTAL FOR SPENT
IDEOLOGY
TOSSED UPON
THE FUCKING SCRAP HEAP
IT WAS SCARY ENOUGH
WHEN IT WAS THE POLICE
AND NOW OUR NEIGHBORS ARE JOINING IN
KIDS LAID OUT ON CONCRETE
MIDDLE-CLASS LIBERALS
CRY TEARS FOR BROKEN WINDOWS
CLUTCHING AT PEARLS
FROM INSIDE THE ZONE
BROAD BRUSH RED PAINT
WE’RE NIHILISTS
HAPPY TO SHAKE THE HAND
THAT PUNCHES CLOWNS
COWARD COLLABORATORS
PREACH NON-VIOLENCE
WHILE PROTESTERS GET SHOT
IN OUR TOWN
WHEN THEY GO LOW
WE GO FOR THE THROAT
MIDDLE-CLASS LIBERALS
CRY TEARS FOR BROKEN WINDOWS
CLUTCHING AT PEARLS
FROM INSIDE THE ZONE

VIRTUE IS NEUTRAL
TO YOUR THINNING BLOOD
PUPILS THE SIZE OF HALF-DOLLARS
WON’T MAKE YOU ANY MORE FUN
ZIPLOCK BAG IN YOUR RIGHT REAR POCKET
POWDER’S ON THE TANK, USE THE TROUGH
EVERYBODY REMEMBERS THEIR FIRST TIME
FOR YOU THE NOVELTY DON’T SEEM TO WEAR OFF
NOBODY CARES HOW MANY PILLS YOU’VE GOT IN YOUR POCKET
NOBODY CARES HOW MANY PILLS YOU’VE GOT IN YOUR MOUTH
IF YOU WANT TO GET HIGH, YOU SHOULD GET HIGH
I’M NOT HERE TO PASS JUDGEMENT
I JUST WISH YOU’D FIND SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT
GOT SOME VIKES, GOT SOME OXYS
GOT SOME KETAMINE, GOT SOME MOLLY
IF YOU’RE NOT SERVING DRINKS WITH YOUR SAUCER EYES
YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH TO OFFER ME
DARE I ADMIT THAT YOU AND I
SHARE ONE OR TWO COMMON INTERESTS
IF I BLOW OFF STEAM BY CATCHING A BUZZ
I DON’T EXPECT YOU TO BE IMPRESSED
NOBODY CARES HOW MANY PILLS YOU’VE GOT IN YOUR POCKET
NOBODY CARES HOW MANY PILLS YOU’VE GOT IN YOUR MOUTH
IF YOU WANT TO GET HIGH, YOU SHOULD GET HIGH
I’M NOT HERE TO PASS JUDGEMENT
I JUST WISH YOU’D FIND SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT
THE DRUGS KICK IN AND THE ID TAKES OVER
VOICES CARRY, IT’S OVER EXPOSURE
THE DRUGS KICK IN AND THE ID TAKES OVER
THE LIVING SPECTACLE LOSES COMPOSURE
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK

DIGITS
GET PREPARED TO BREAK THEM
ONE FRACTURE FOR EVERY LAW
BREAK TEN BREAK TEN AND ELEVEN
A SPECTRE HAUNTS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
ELEVEN PINS STUCK ON A STREET GRID
SKELETAL BALSA WOOD
ERASE WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENED
A CITY LIT BY GASLIGHT
FRESH INK ON THE BLACKLIST
FICTION
EVERYBODY SHUTS UP WHEN YOU WALK IN
THE AIR’S THICK WITH EYEBALL SWEAT
FEEL FREE TO JUST KEEP TALKING
A SPECTRE HAUNTS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
ELEVEN PINS STUCK ON A STREET GRID
SURGICAL CLOVEN HOOVES
NO THUMBS TO BREAK, THEY’RE ALREADY STITCHED IN
DUNNING, KRUGER, AND JANTE GOT ME DOWN
A SPECTRE HAUNTS THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
ELEVEN PINS STUCK ON A STREET GRID

WHEN PEOPLE BECOME CARICATURES
ALL BLUR TOGETHER AND BECOME THE SAME
PORTRAYAL DOES NOT EQUAL ENDORSEMENT
THE SUBJECT MATTER DOESN’T FLATTER RESTRAINT
I’LL GET MY FAVORITE RED MARKER
AND YOU BRING YOUR FAVORITE PICKET SIGN
TOWN CRYER VS. CARNIVAL BARKER
BUT THEORETICALLY STILL ALIGNED
I WANT TO BE THE STONE YOU
USE TO SHARPEN YOUR BLADE
I WANT TO BE THE STONE YOU USE
I WANT TO BE YOUR PAUL VERHOEVEN
FURROWED BROWS AND FINGER WAVES
RE-SHOOTS TO ADD MORE VIOLENCE
I WANT TO BE YOUR PROBLEMATIC FAVE
I WANT YOU TO BE HORRIFIED
YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT’S PART OF THE DEAL
ANTAGONISTS WILL NOT BE SWEETENED
I NEED YOUR DISGUST TO FEEL REAL
I WANT TO BE THE STONE YOU
USE TO SHARPEN YOUR BLADE
I WANT TO BE THE STONE YOU USE
WHEN PEOPLE BECOME CARICATURES
ALL BLUR TOGETHER AND BECOME THE SAME
PORTRAYAL DOES NOT EQUAL ENDORSEMENT
THE SUBJECT MATTER DOESN’T FLATTER RESTRAINT
I WANT TO BE YOUR PAUL VERHOEVEN
FURROWED BROWS AND FINGER WAVES

I COULD HAVE SWORN WE ALREADY DID THIS
WHEN I WAS A KID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
TWENTY YEARS SPENT EXPANDING MY CAGE
SLOW BOILING WANDERLUST
THE LIVING’S CHEAP BUT IT SURE AIN’T EASY
ISOLATED IN A CUL DE SAC
TWENTY YEARS SPENT ESCAPING MY CAGE
NOW THEY WANT TO THROW ME BACK
WALKING PAST HALF-FINISHED BUILDINGS
SO UGLY, EMPTY, AND OVERPRICED
SOMEDAY I’D LIKE TO BURN JUST ONE DOWN
AND ERECT A STATUE OF RICHIE WHITE
JESUS WANTS US TO LIVE IN THE SUBURBS
MAYOR BEZOS BROUGHT YOU A BOX
A STACK OF PAPERS NAILED TO YOUR FRONT DOOR
MAYOR BEZOS RAZE TEN WHOLE CITY BLOCKS
EITHER THE SQUARES TAKE OVER
OR YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO STAY
WE ALL END UP LIVING
IN NEW GRANADA ANYWAY
WALKING PAST HALF-FINISHED BUILDINGS
SO UGLY, EMPTY, AND OVERPRICED
SOMEDAY I’D LIKE TO BURN THEM ALL DOWN
AND ERECT A STATUE OF RICHIE WHITE

DON'T WORRY, THE RATS ARE LONG GONE
SCRATCH MARKS AND CHEWING THROUGH THE WIRES
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY IT'S ONLY
COMING OUT ONE SIDE
3 A.M. IS COMING OVER
AND I BET SHE'S SCORED SOME DRUGS
IT'S BEEN NEARLY A DECADE
SINCE I'VE TOUCHED THAT STUFF
SOME PROMISES UNCLAIMED REDEEMED
GIVE ME SEVEN HOURS OF NARCOTIC DREAMS
COUGH MEDICINE BOTTLES NEVER
AS FULL AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE
SOME PROMISES UNCLAIMED REDEEMED
GIVE ME SEVEN HOURS OF NARCOTIC DREAMS
THE PIERCING LIGHT OF TEN A.M.
NOT AS WARM AS I HOPED IT WOULD BE
NEED A GLASS OF WATER
WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO GO PISS?
I NEVER WANTED TO GET OLD
BUT I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS
STEADY ON THE BATHROOM SINK
DARK CIRCLES SPOTTED IN THE MIRROR
GREEN AND PURPLE DREGS
EYELIDS HEAVY; VISION LESS CLEAR.
LITTLE SISTER SLEEPING ON THE STAIRCASE
SOME PROMISES UNCLAIMED REDEEMED
GIVE ME SEVEN HOURS OF NARCOTIC DREAMS
COUGH MEDICINE BOTTLES NEVER
AS FULL AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE
SOME PROMISES UNCLAIMED REDEEMED
GIVE ME SEVEN HOURS OF NARCOTIC DREAMS
THE PIERCING LIGHT OF TEN A.M.
NOT AS WARM AS I HOPED IT WOULD BE
SOME PROMISES UNCLAIMED REDEEMED
GIVE ME SEVEN HOURS OF NARCOTIC DREAMS
COUGH MEDICINE BOTTLES NEVER

THE MILLIONAIRES
ARE IN NEED OF NEW PLATFORMS
THE MILLIONAIRES
ARE REQUESTING MORE RESOURCES
MORE COLUMN SPACE
MORE FUCKING AIR TIME
GOOD CREDIT BUYS PR FLACKS
AND BANDWIDTH IN GRAPEVINES
I’VE GOT ONE SINCERE APOLOGY
BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE CYNICAL PART OF ME
THEY STOLE YOUR EMPATHY
AND SOLD IT TO THE BOURGEOISIE
THE MILLIONAIRES
ARE IN NEED OF NEW PLATFORMS
THE MILLIONAIRES
ARE GETTING HYPERNORMAL
MORE COLUMN SPACE
KEEPING THE OBSCURE OBSCURED
COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
DETOUR DETOUR DETOUR
I’VE GOT ONE SINCERE APOLOGY
BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE CYNICAL PART OF ME
I GUESS I’M USED TO
THE BASTARDS LOOKING JUST LIKE ME
Q: WHERE DO THE BASTARDS LIVE?
A: THEY LIVE INSIDE THE MIRROR!
I’VE GOT ONE SINCERE APOLOGY
BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE CYNICAL PART OF ME
THEY STOLE YOUR EMPATHY
AND SOLD IT TO THE BOURGEOISIE
