Intro/Compelled Toward The Hell Of Your Own Making 03:05
lyrics
buy track
rushing toward a place you don’t want to be oppressed through life by your fear jump over yourself toward the amputation tent obsessed to caress the object that you loathe real life can’t be seen each journey is personal owners of the things you crave will fall, too look at this floor plan this is the perfect home wait, who put this fucked up bathroom here? two bathrooms side by side just how can this be? a blemish on an otherwise grand space focused on nothing compelled toward faster moves without examination of the “why?”

I read an article today, not sure what it said I couldn’t grasp the concepts I heard some men talking I’ll have to take it for truth words can be so daunting I don’t know what was said they used a lot of words that I didn’t know they said they researched a bit they said they read some books how do you even begin to do that math? numbers can be daunting I heard some people cackle about what I don't know arrogance can be such an ugly thing people can be daunting they cited references they proved that I was wrong knowledge can be so flawed well, Nicodemus came with plenty of questions Jesus cut him off - he foresaw foolishness Jesus didn’t do shit for seventeen years he learned through early life diminished ignorance then finally spit some wisdom just before he died

hey, Poor Ashley, what did you get? is your bad attitude a defense against a world that's offended you? a strength and a weakness don't need a judge nothing is solved, only traded off a beautiful model with action and dough she might still have a brain a bug builds a warm cocoon a bug-man's head whistles when he runs around a butterfly might emerge to be eaten by a monitor hey, Poor Ashley, what did you get? don't you know you have to mitigate your shit? this world is organized a man with a hole invented a shovel

Useless Memories 02:17
lyrics
buy track
taking up space bus driver made a strange face here’s how to push fast on a skateboard the abundance of things I did not understand when I was fourteen years old the world wanted me but I was so petrified it grew into a complex obliviously, my perfect eyesight was blind it made the world look smeary and dark they’re pictures inside maybe a laugh or two “don’t do this,” “what is Truth?” they waste precious space they hold us in place by thickening the mucus balanced on railroad spike clouds overhead crossed the Sun a ghost floated by at night the station haunted and disembodied head carried a Halloween candy tote threw a rock at teacher and then she threw a damn fit ratted out by upperclassman then Grandma cock-blocked “hey, you sexy young boy” misguided path now set in I missed my calling learned self-awareness too late a speck blown through a torrent introspection now done but useless memories crud up an otherwise well-oiled machine

The Upside Of The End Of Freedom 04:21
lyrics

all the nights you couldn’t sleep might pop up now in your dreams look at how your neighbor nods and smiles while her spouse rants folks who tell you what to think don’t seem charismatic now their authority is gone their shit just plops to the ground all the folks who don’t smile when you pass by them with a wave and all the rules you’ve been adhering to run like houses down a muddy slope gloom is not so catchy now disaffected just seems weak look at how they frown alone do they ever feel a thing? is conformance warm and safe? does cortisol ever drain? live and die by your own rules subjugated or stalked and slain nothing in the world is unnatural termites must destroy a home all the debts that you’ve been burdened by dissolved in air now you can stand up straight snuck out away from the nest we flock to the woods with guns soon to be gobbled alive slaves freed from crushing safety freedom can only be short-lived all the structures you lived in fear under topple down now you bake in the sun listen to caught deer bleat out through torn guts sociopathic stare proteins flood the mouth free to be and do Essence gained at a high cost win, then fix with loss Man thrives in the loop see the predator smelling the warm soft places "let them drink to their fill, we'll pounce when they're fat, bloated, and weak" freedom does not mesh well with comfort what suffering can you stand? what pain do you volunteer for? do you choose to snooze in warm blankets?
