we're deaf but you still feel the sound please pull my name from out your mouth dead heat, foot on the gas never hit the brakes when you're gonna be last no reach, coming in fast losers always try when you give em a chance my only competent disguise is when I choose the violence just to not be nice I chose to trust the parasite on any other day I'd try to treat the lice I'm just looking forward needs met, almost mine look me in the eye when you're doing a crime blind theft, hypnotized losers always die when you give em the time in debt a negative account seize all my shit and stamp me out my only competent disguise is when I choose the violence just to not be nice I chose to trust the parasite on any other day I'd try to treat the lice with dignity and rights we're deaf but you still feel the sound please pull my name from out your mouth I'm just looking for a my only opulence in life is when I use the silent cues to compromise expose the fools who used to lie that I abuse for my amusement and delight I'm just looking for a fight

spaces between we cautiously address the destinations that we dare to dream shall we proceed beyond the sun, like everyone let's drop the anchors onto me must be the place I can feel the wasted airspace in my stomach and my brains and I can taste the gates planting the seed among the weeds, we're nourished from the ashes of our enemies we're gone for centuries

The Badge 04:36
tethered to a line that I cross all the time no one comprehends how much I bend it to be mine choosing to align, its not just us, the swine agreed like legion we're so petty, seem so ready never told to die for my beliefs under the weight I've struggled to save my own mediocrity we were sold, full transparency into the cage my body enslaved inside of a war machine never solved a crime cause I can't cross the line I make sure every demons ready, seems so civilized knee deep in the grime, what a waste of time with dreams so heavy seems so genuine never told to die for my beliefs under the weight I've struggled to save my own mediocrity we were sold, full transparency into the cage my body enslaved inside of a war machine distorting me wait for the sympathy to embelish me, gently invite the loneliness to grow right out of spite growing old, time to break the leash under the weight of all of the chains they know are exhausting me broken bones, no one talks to me into the cage my body behaves like it was myopathy distorting me destroying me

recycle me into the green I choose to be the fuel beneath consuming me, I used to be the butcher that removed the trees inside of every living child starts a decline the art of expiration soon renews all the life out of time, born to die a cured disease we lose to always cull the weak, the fools between if you could see the cycle that we need to breathe, we feed the weeds recycle me into the green I choose to be the fuel beneath consuming me, I used to be the butcher that removed the trees

a spooky afternoon repairing what the prozac had siezed just to share all your thoughts with me, there's no mystery say absolutely anything you think you need me to hear don't stop if it's too sincere, I won't disappear let's get depressed about the time we lost the power to sleep wondering if the walls could breathe would they try to scream I'm overwriting every little fucking sentence I speak I read it back til my eyes should bleed, it's our history reduced myself into the smallest tiny creature conceived it's my vulnerability. it's like therapy continue conversations with me after all that you've seen I know it comes out subconsciously, the apologies I'm so mad at me

hello to friends I've acquired, I'll need a moment to recognize your opinions starting to shine, but still impressed with all of the likes or should I look away instead, because I let it goto my head if the media says that I'm already dead should I spread resurrection direct from my bed and explain that the pain is from what I became complain that the meme is too viral for me you're not supposed to feel so cheap the mornings weep and people cry the thief in tow that's shining bright it's not supposed to steal your sleep the crystal knows, it won't be quiet another wasted sunday night and while we wait for a time or for the better years to arrive everytime that I see a reflection of me in a screen that I need to abbreviate things was it something I said, or maybe a threat should I try to defend while the voices linger? you're not supposed to feel so cheap the mornings weep and people cry the thief in tow that's shining bright it's not supposed to steal your sleep the crystal knows, it won't be quiet another wasted sunday night to dream sound the alarms its time to breathe I want you to kill me if I try to teach the animal inside of me to survive peel away the patience to behave for it's device the thief in tow that's shining bright another wasted sunday night

the beginning of the end always ends with a start but the only way to mend will begin with the heart only one way I can relieve the stress I'll burn my address in less than an hour the trigger a sentence so hard to read but my vision needs a fix so I'm ready to see as I quicken the prose I chose to describe the beat of a heart that belonged to our lives we cannot wait but we do not mind everything's set and we're leaving tonight avoiding the plot we run to survive for fun we escape through another disguise as the we becomes I the merge is so slight that I blink and we manually change our mind as the vision burns empty the world falls apart the beginning of an end always ends with a start and we choose to ignore the call of our heart another aspect that I can't see another version of me between all the lines you read hidden carefully beneath the beat there lies defeat delicately discreet only one way I can relieve that stress I'll burn my address in less than an hour hidden carefully beneath the beat there lies defeat delicately discreet sanction me, I won't go away

aim for a space in the world that we've claimed and express that we need to invite the nature we take for granted back to display becoming the shape and it feels so flagrant violent the dancer I wished for an answer a cancer expanding to life the number one cause of everything that you saw against all the odds yet it feels so ancient explain why they hate me cause I love the crowd I felt the sun on my face and refused to look down I took a shot in exchange for another last round the way you portray how you think I'm afraid I can see it in you every night the sting and the smell of the air as it swells an evening in hell and I feel so famous explain why they hate me cause I love the crowd I felt the sun on my face and refused to look down I took a shot in exchange for another last round I fought my way to the pavement before you fell down now we seem so weightless couldn't explain why they hate me cause I love the crowd I felt the sun on my face and refused to look down I took a shot in exchange for another last round I fought my way to the pavement before we fell down

you don't need to say it, there's no one here to harm you sleep in this space where we can wait to start new we could just stay forever til we get made we could just stay, I've never seen you afraid
