Endangered Species

We are the rising tide
We are the virus host
We are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth
With a dark horse in our path,
we've still time to consider
Is this the era to repay or can we ride a little further?
We are the rising tide
We are the virus host
We are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth
For the preservation of convenience theres an upheld fear
If we're an endangered species that's the best news i've herd all year
Murder
Sabotage
The stench of damnation
This world burns tonight
Rested dire solutions with tired giving hands
hereditary ignorance, pass the barren land
with horror we remain frozen as the television goes blank
We are the rising tide
We are the virus host
we are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth
for the preservation of convenience theres an upheld fear
if we're an endangered species it's the best news i've herd all year.

Human, All Too Human

As to discover another hematic vice
As to discover another sacrifice
What we give is far too much to take
shovels worth of itchy blood for a structuralist wake
and through these graves of unmarked ends
target stomping grounds, a culture sealed within
When we sleep/ within our heads
controlled insight of why we're bred
This contagion we adopt through fear
Its learned, its taught and its human, all too human
We step forever with too heavy foot
The imprint and the impact break and steady flow
Regress from recovery
conceal
byronic hero broadcasted / the most crucial feat
When we sleep/ within our heads
controlled insight of why we're bred
this contagion we adopt through fear
its learned, its taught and its human, all too human
If we think we are paramount for change
we disarm those taking action in their own
When we sleep/ within our heads
controlled insight of why we're bred
this contagion we adopt through fear
its learned, its taught and its human, all too human
we are not the voice of the voiceless
as others speak with teeth

Waste of breath/ meaningless
globalized movement of machine gun debt
this is as high as we dare climb
desperation is a drug that leaves us blind
truly this world is ours
Where we go when the supply has been dosed
no rest for the unwell/ this is the depth of our drought
control/ understand hell can be controlled
with vile delusions the torturous prevail
question/ while thoughts are still private to think
social normalcy brings manufactured dreams
eyes set on the fastest gain
murder in predominant form
toxic atmosphere
capital is now airborne
With clouded air, comes clouded lungs and clouded eyes and clouded tongues
I see no hope for this bastard toil
and the mark we've left is bloody vile

Another police case and another queasy lapse
another article/ another easy pass
It's not unthinkable for a government to be overthrown
but that does not ensure anything aside from being open and alone
the police are a corporation that will stick to the bigger guns
so if shits getting real, your neighbours are the ones
Communicate
Create
Community against a capitalist agenda
There will be no heroes
collectives and unease
bring out a baseball bat
protest with celebration
for those who have had lives lost
and those whom feel unsafe
for those who have been beaten without seeing a case
There will be no romantic revolution
should a substantial change arise
it may be bleak and complex
simple to become entangled and used
be prepared/ pull your fingers into a fist
either way
nobody leaves without singing the goddamn blues
Communicate
Create
Community against a capitalist agenda
To those who can be educators
don't call the cops call your neighbours

Doubt

This race we lead
relies too much
on deliverance
of mechanical crutch
don't ever look
don't ever look down this way
i'm a desperate man and no one comes here to stay
Yes we're vicious, yes we sexy
under the spotlight and we're reflecting
mindlessness/ coiled up
styrofoam and plastic cups
may we live witness the end
a nightmare to see this intelligent power
Don't ever look
Don't look to us
we're a desperate band
and we got desperate lust
writhe on
machine
ride on
Told of a saviour
nothing needs change
continue our repulsiveness
technology will save
While the oceans rise
for lifestyle we binge our supply
the anguish we ignore
and the lives we leave in desolation
eyes set on the fastest gain
aware of the devastation lain
if this night ends with us
then it goes down with a burning dusk
while the oceans rise
aware of the devastation lain
claims technology will save
for this life, I have doubt.
