Plastic parasite I just want to dance away Rising up, Debt piles high Left for someone else to pay Eat it up, suck it down Burn the forest to the ground Toxic waste substitutes water Gas masks are the latest trend Celluloid and liquid crystal Ladies in their tasteless fashion Gentleman with class abandoned What the hell have we become? Mother, father What is this you left for me? A broken world of toxic skies A rotten cesspool of disease Nothing is left for your children Idiocy reigns on high Nothing left for us to live for And I ask you why?

No Contest 00:44
No one wins My existence; a hindrance to my goals I am weak I can never be who I dreamed to be My own standards, I could never live up to Shot into a multitude My mind and memory in tatters A stranger to my species A threat to all others I only want to help Those with none I could never be a voice for I am useless Nothing In the end No one wins

Nothing quite compares To killing the thing you love So it is in the height of despair What did I ever feel? It all escapes me amid glass, ice, and whisky A darkened room lit by the city lights The earth couldn't breathe my name from such a height An inch of transparency separates me from the company The company of all that I have slain Just a few more drinks This bitter water releasing me One last pleasurable feeling Damn it all Nothing quite compares To killing the thing you love Self obsession Sweet embrace of wind and earth

Take the precious gemstones Gathered from the wealth of the planet Grind them into finest wine Piss it out onto solid marble Waste all that was left for each of us Your decadence; our death Treasures to be shared Squandered in the hands of a fool Starve like the rest of us Die like the rest of us Be humbled by your own hands The planet falls away Fades to gray and is forgotten The guilty and the innocent Waste not, want not Kings and beggars alike Pride, no pity The cities reek of humanity The creatures die and wonders cease The hour is late for mourning

Look at me Am I not beautiful? Worship and adore my body I am but an empty shell An offering for lustful appetites Tear my flesh Rip bone from tendon Feast upon my nothingness Make me the sum of all your deviance How long can this possibly last? How many ages has it persisted? Shower me in wine and diamonds Suck the skin clean off the muscle Tell me I am your dark desire I am nothing, wrapped in gold and silk

I came across a crowd in the garden Dressed to the nines with no words of welcome Surrounding a circle of bare earth Waiting intently, eyes only empty Springing forth from what was barren A colossal flower soaring to reach the sky Under its own weight as it reached its climax it began to crumble and fall to release it's seeds short lived glory to be passed along to tell the story of life and death As the flower now lay in the soil The crowd made haste to lay waste to its pedals With malice and contempt For the once living thing They chanted, "this is not a plant; it is a virus and must be crushed" There's something desperately wrong with that.

about

Originally written in 2011, this was meant to be on 7", but that's just too expensive. Glassy, fabulous, angry, and mint-flavored cybergrind.
