The Outcome
01:06
|
|

we built confidence and we made progress
yet here we are again:
a meaningless assessment
with useless data: invalid
i already know the outcome:
a standardized waste of time
high stakes won’t rate real progress gained

now they know you're
furious
so let's show them
what it means
they don't deserve
a moments peace
insulated
from their deeds
our angry mob
just took a stand
an angry mob
of survivor's hands
now they know you're
Furious and have inspired the rest of us.

spread thought disease
by spitting novelty,
empty slogans packaged so neat
overflowing trough of banality
it’s parasitic contaminants
yield narcissistic detriment
and yet we all sink our teeth in
we can’t see out of the hole we’re digging
how low can we go?
so dumb it down and put it out
the most tragic of scenes still draws a crowd
so numb it down and cut it out
the most tragic of scenes still draws a crowd
i’m opting out

distance all that it took to quell
friendships that we held so dear
the effort, initiative, disappeared
do we merely hold a place,
showing up for convenience sake?
aging/losing
A formal farewell
or just a fade away?

Medieval mindsets
Infecting progress
They built their time machine on
Fear and control
Disguised
As a
Moral
crusade
No regard for life after birth
No regard for dignity
False medal Of moral strength
This was never about life
This was always about control
Reproductive rights are human rights, not political currency.

The Least

...speaking of not being impressed by all this posturing, all this entitlement.
Honoring the worst of the immoral, the unethical, those that need to be right.
Honoring those who are shallow, the insular, the vulgar, and the criminal.
When the world is just you, there will be no change.
When the world is just you, we have no chance.
And what have we become?
We have to learn:
To be our better selves.
To reject the hate that surrounds us.
That we are human first.
That happiness is a choice

masquerade
as a safe place
to prey upon
those with blind faith
to serve
your impulse
this child drowns in
a world with no safe home
as the assailants
remain to prey once again
in the name of the god they serve
they
leave
a trail
of pain

All Evil
01:46
|
|
||
entitlement is the root of all evil. convenience is the only god we pledge allegiance to.
it’s all made up and more will never be enough
blending in is giving in.
and no we didn’t ask for the life we’re living
and yeah it can be so god damn unforgiving
but we do have a choice:
“i’ve done so much and this cruel world owes me something.” or “what can i give?”

The End Result
04:00
|
|
||
How easily we assign
significance in our minds.
chained to a picture of life
rather than swallow our pride.
These traumas don't own me the way that they used to.
Abstaining from the drugs of
Regret and nostalgia.
I am the end result.
