Many knives stick out my back.
Betrayal is something I have on tap.
Which one will I pull free next?

Judge, jury, executioner.
What will be the punishment I deliver unto ya?
Smile as vengeance becomes mine.

Vent my spleen.
This is my dream.

Tied in knots.
From what you’ve wrought.
Patchwork quilt across my chest.
Baring scars I did not deserve.
I wanted peace.
You wanted victory.
Torture was delivered even as I grieved.
With no pause.
You flooded and controlled.
My mind is frayed.
Redubbed most betrayed.

Twenty years my sores still seep.
Yet no longer do I feel cheap.
I can say I am finally free!

Put these eyes onto your sheets.
Betrayal came and you ignored it.
Rise above what crimes became.
Subjects born that still condemn.

Pulled from where they once called home.
Separated as if skin was flayed from bone.
Want is fresh while demand is outdated.
One wrong step and you’ll be subjugated.
Pushed upon the garbage heap.
Image turned from bold to bleak.

Set these dreams on what you glimpse.
Yank a cord to bring about change.
Staring blank as you mimic still having brains.
Sense has been removed again.

Violent seduction of martyrdom obsession.
Baked future hypocrisy lined with more oppression.
Cooked up in labs of death and doom.
Profits for these scumbag loons.
Filling pockets as they laugh out loud.
No real care for who might become a corpse.
Its not their problem even if it is their product.
Sick psycho studs with smarmy banter.
Watch you flatline without losing.

Flow of their business line.
Lick your teeth before you do a line.
Snort it, cook it, inject it, inhale it.
Anything to simply obtain shit.
Even as you wither away.
While drifting on clouds of utter decay.
Deranged from the high it gives.
Lost in this other instance.
Where everything is more than rosy.
Ignoring pain that keeps you dozy.

Pull these strings so they unravel.
What is here cannot start to gather.
One and two make seven in the deep.
Climb this mountain or you’ll become weak.
With factors beyond what you can see.
Breathe fresh moments into me.
As stars dance and angels cry.
Patricide isn’t meant to arrive.
From bones set into amber flesh.
Whispers call for every death.
Unification across these plains of green.
I am left wondering what this all means.
While fog descends like a stone.
Pierce this veil and vent.

Atmosphere won’t save us now.
Bow your heads and close your eyes.
Every moment is filled with lies.
Upon these hooks hang all guilt.
Within all chests there is silt.
Closing up airways that once flowed free.
Barter from above this dying maple tree.
While hands of power wring out blood.
Characterising damned as misunderstood.
A larger farce could not be cooked.
Yet it will forever be overlooked.
By forces not from whence they belong.
Take a moment for them to move along.
Separate and subdue what came before.

Wrench out these steps you tread.
Dissect that which you cannot comprehend.
Vicious scent birthed as if its new.
Parse these fragments right in front of two.

Your god has been power crept.
For far too long he has slept.
Fallen out of the daily routine.
No longer is your manmade grip supreme.
After having been dreamt up by you in power.
Your growing irrelevance has turned you sour.
Before long you ‘elites’ will have been relegated.
I know that is something for which you hold much hatred.
But manipulation should never define us, the masses.
Freedom is deserved in more than flashes.
Bestowed upon us by anointed.
You who like your fingers pointed.
Judgemental and sanctimonious.
More often than not erroneous.
Your time is ending, get used to it.
Upon your self fashioned throne you shall no longer sit.

Its time for you to quit.

What scares you more than you can say?
Your reflection staring oh so blankly.
Those eyes glazed over as if they’re dead.
Or some feeling as it comes creeping in.
Whatever it is i know it sends you cold.
Shiver running up and down your spine.
A cackle that unsettles your mind.
Makes your head snap when you hear a sound.
Real or something you’ve imagined.
No way to say and so you wish to run away.
Lock all the exits until such thoughts vacate.
But does your unease ever truly flee?
Cause it sounds like it does not to me.
Count down from ten but stop at three.
Again being watched crawls over thee.
Pushing you so close to the edge you just might slip.
That would be a one way trip.
Screaming as you go down into the pit.
Where darkness is all consuming.
And if you touch it you’re not moving.

Stare at perfection but it cannot be refined.
Corporeal in physicality that is seldom defined.
Take with one fist while you bestow with a smile.
Increase proficiency with the turn of a dial.

Dance on gravestones that mark up new life.
Watch heavens above for skies most aligned.
Power flows through the worthy effortlessly.
Nothing beyond this veil will ever cease to be.

Diagonal with demons cannot be resolved.
Wrenching at heart strings keeps all involved.
As parties in precipices come for the weak.
It is then they will be branded as the most meek.

Butchers and botherers horde their own lies.
Above is below to those who despise.
Upon wings of necessity ride moments of peace.
Bring forth these epiphanies before they cease.

Fresh coin into this old slot.
Pull the lever and watch it.
Spin around and around again.
Waiting for this to come to an end.
Just like our world will one day.
Do you think those times are far away?

Accelerated to our demise.
Watch us bleed out alive.
Pressure building in our heads.
Boom!
Now we are dead.

Step up or do not stand.
Envious cowards quake in their boots.
Counting sheep to drift away.
Desperate to forget how it could be.
While praying something may soon change.
Say a void opens and swallows everyone.

Accelerated to our demise.
Watch us bleed out alive.
Pressure building in our heads.
Boom!
Now we are dead.

Perforated semblance of peace shattered in tongues.
All a part of this activists plan gone wrong.
Plan A through F have been cast to the crows.
What remains is simply stumbling prose.
With a snort of abuse dolled out to the mass.
Yes this madness has been cast.
With devils and halos morphed into one.
Never replace parallels with designs yet unspun.

Accelerated to our demise.
Watch us bleed out alive.
Pressure building in our heads.
Boom!
Unwritten nothing.

Fuck all these corporations and their greed.
If life has taught me one thing,
Its that they need to bleed.

Fist to the face will fix their arrogance.
Cause blood on the concrete,
Might finally give them pause.

Sycophantic psycho hypocrites.
Mouth goes flap but its all bullshit.
Trying to appease without thought.
Cannot see we’re all over…

Every word they say.
Sick of all this misery.

They brought suffering to the masses.
Can’t manage to organise a god damned thing.
Blind to what’s right in front of them.
Cause a focus group didn’t shovel it in their mouth.
They can’t comprehend what is not clout.
Too busy being infants in big boy shoes.
No wonder we find you suits all to be a snooze.
You slithering snake skinned lying toads.
Only care is the bonus you get for your failures.

Fuck all these corporations and their greed.
If life has taught me one thing,
Its that they need to bleed.

Your face compliments my days.
Remorse I feel when you’re wasting away.
Cause sadness is not meant for you.
Smiling wide is how I imagine it too.
Yet times have changed and pieces don’t fit.
To be honest its all gone a bit crooked.
Like hands on a melted clock.
There is a ticking but its from a rock.
More bomb than way of telling time.
Your face is now caked in grime.
Paints the tale of how things have gone.
These new ways have turned out wrong.
Casting you to these soggy streets.
Forcing you to sleep amongst the bleak,
Souls who have become lost along their way.
That was never supposed to be your exit strategy.
Happiness was meant to sprout and grow.
Perhaps if I hadn’t left it might have been different though.
My voice shaking as I take the blame.
As ever you never do take aim.
Rather you just force a smile.
Bringing joy back in to rest.
So here I swear I will right these crimes against,
You that have robbed you of your best.

Perfect in the apocalypse.
Too bad you are twisted.
Ghosting friends to climb a ladder.
Superiority complex is your focus.

And you never learn.
You had time to earn.
Fashion something of your own making.
Instead you are determined to do the taking.
Siphon off what was never for you.
Every word out your mouth is a lie.

Riding high on your latest take.
Crooked soul with a snarling grin.
Snuffing hands before they can grasp.
Rage fuelled by your steroid injecting ass.

Cause you never learn.
But you had time to earn.
Form something with your two hands.
Instead you are determined to do the taking.
Ween off what was not meant for you.
All your actions are filled with hatred.
