Memory of sunflowers and lidded mason jarsMemory of innocently walking from the carMemory of finding out my family was goneMemory of wondering just what I did so wrong Left on the doorstep like a holiday adoptionRight then, this life it’s just such a shit-stained concoctionSlept in a toybox to try and calm down all the frightAwoke in a toybox in the morning’s soft, pale light I was a kid and all I knew was my familySo hard to find out they never really wanted me Tried to bond to other kids, and to house parents, tooBullied and ostracized for differences, […]
Track title: Takers
The weight of the world ain’t always divine,Keep my head held up, won’t let it decline.My chin may droop, but my spirit stays fine,Heart rising above, leaves worries behind. Life can be a weight, pressing on the chest,Must say it out straight, sometimes get depressedWish I could go home, right back to the nestBut I never had that option to rest It may look selfish but it’s just the truthIt ain’t help if it drains away your youth When you’re all alone in this universeYou learn to be strong though it makes you curseLean on the wrong one and it […]
Track title: Scorched Earth
It seems like this earth is scorched, living life confined to porchAccomplishments by fire torched, illness and age on me gorgeI do not know what is worse, rot to end or wait for hearseProof I’m alive I still nurse, blood is the ink for this verse Tears are the rain for the pain, scars just drain and make the stainI’m trapped in an endless night, no dawn no day to take flightIn echoes memories fight, endless debate (of) wrong and rightThe lightning strikes my mind’s kite, backsighting grants no respite Standing on this life’s causeway, I know it sounds so […]
Track title: Death to Dichotomy
All these virtue signals but what’s the real score?Hashtag justice is loud, yet deeds remain poorThese words without any action, the shame is so clearClout seekers yapping, hypocrisy is all I hear Bandwagon rolling spreading viral diseaseFlock to every cause, but fuck the lasting peaceThe protest cries while war-torn bodies go coldMeaningful change dies, they got no time to be bold Dichotomy’s poison seeping, darkening every soulThey sacrifice integrity for the illusion of control Outrage masking fear and doubt, the true character appearsHollow words seem so devout, empty protest over yearsBridge the chasm, close the gap betweenNo matter the words, […]
Track title: Fold
Since I was thirteen, I’ve been on this path aloneNo family, no home and no one I could call my ownEach night when I try to sleep that fear it starts to unfoldYears of this pain shaping me as hard as the steel I hold Streets were rough, and they taught me not to pick up but throw downDominate as queen or learn to take it full on the crownBy hood or in the woods, I had to learn to be this boldSpit life in rhymes like diamonds, sharp and crude, or just cold A hope of better days with […]
Track title: Shards
At age five I lost faith in humanityThe ultimate cost was my serenityThe thing I miss most, sense of identityIn life’s tide I’ve been rost it’s an obscenity The falls I’ve taken through the system’s cracksLike nursery rhyme truth, they’ve broken my back By systems juggled, from home to home placedIn tears I struggled, as new cracks me chasedAt times I buckled, under new fists I bracedI shrunk and huddled, before their distaste Systems and rituals I could never seem to masterNo helpful victuals, only next and newest disasterAll the residuals my mind and body fully plasteredThe picture of my […]
Track title: Vicious Cycle
I’m in a flesher and the knife never straysThis regular pressure that I just can’t conveyThis panic obsession that I cannot escapeNightly suppression to keep it away Pain it’s my alarm, and it rings every damn day I’m stuck in this daily grind, the pain never wanesSuch a regular pressure I fear will sustainFull panic obsession which I cannot restrainJust daily suppression hoping gain to maintain Trapped in this life, I search for a wayTo break free from pain, my hands seizing my dayBut the weight of this world keeps me in disarrayLeaves me feeling I may as well just […]
Track title: Leeches
This life is amazing, this dulcet domainBut give it control of ya, it cooks ya brainGive it access to ya, it drives you insaneBalance is needed yet still cultures disdain All history, sophistry, yet still we nosediveAutocracy, corpocracy, hypocrisy? Full thrive The truth of all humans rests nested in liesNo ethics, dichotomies set balance asideSub-optimal value expression dividesThe world is on fire, leadership backslides Remember atrocities from ethnohistoryPut to the fire all desires of consistory Restoration through protestation, first dissentSend all nations through fire, foundations segmentKill substructure for our fructure misspentDeny the power every hour to this noose circumvent From […]
