lyrics

LYRICS WRITTEN BUT NEVER RECORDED

the majority were born
in aphotic zones,
a place
where the light is unloving.
the majority are prone
to adapt their bones
to an
unclear existence.
surround yourself with myths.
give those to kids.
buy truths
and ignore the logistics
of your suffering being
uniquely grim,
the whole world's
dying for nothing.

shoehorned in
by the older folks,
passing the torch.
more sacrificed to the Hoax.
succession undying
and in no way edifying,
just new fights at new heights
and general advice
from frazzle haired motherfuckers
like," life is like brown rice."
so life is like brown rice
in the land of the Zone.
in the land of Hambone.
dying world trying it's hardest
to showcase a mask of
booming outcomes
in accents ecstatic,
accents cracking,
accents waver from Southern to Snapping.
voices say," i'm good.
we're good. it's good."
but the likelihood of good
is less likely than a giant squid
crawling out your toilet
and stroking on your sainthood.
backbones raised
by joyless groans.
cheekbone carved
by the caustic edge
of a milestone,
a wild stone.
a stone that
broke the windows
in your
childhood home...

how the hell do we get
out of the Zone?

but what about the logic
that controls all your a bombs?
what about the ethos
that defines the place that you live in?

who
could've predicted that
you'd
be a domestic cat
brawling with your own identity
on the living room floor
in a liquor store
of their
high rise. no limits.

a place where you have grown
and taught your bones
to brace
against a kinda constructed existence.
surround yourself with myths.
give those to kids.
buy truths
and ignore the logistics
of your suffering being
uniquely grim,
the whole world's
dying for someone.
