I'm spending some time in the forest, sleeping in the dirt I'd call it soul searching but I treasure the ambiguous It's more of all inclusive whateverthefuck I felt like getting in touch with my primitive side The concept is a gnawing rat behind my drywall brain Something inside repressed by social structure Everything was going pretty well I found a squirrel, slow clap, am I right? Cut the cute little ******* open and fed myself with the grace of a sick dog Shortly after I felt better about my masculinity it's been cheapened so many times before In that moment, I went for a little stroll I stumbled upon that tree we carved our names in the symbol of our love held up nicely Unlike the practice and actuality In this moment, I wonder what lime disease tastes like Then, casually, I remove my matchbook from my pocket along with the kerosene from my bag I circle the tree, covering it as far as I can reach Distributing it in the way a child tosses autumn leaves on the last day of fall I smile, watching the flames meet the sky Sharing mutual agony with the tree I am cynical I am heartbroken I am on fire

Cat Videos, Hate Speech, And ****
You measure your self worth on insufficient evidence of what you have accomplished when that word is ******* relative as if the things we do are black and white and everything you do is simply right No I can't comprehend your views on virtue and it's not common sense for me to be like you but you won't think it through your skulls thick and askew You live like your opinions are a law they're multifarious But what you say is so dogmatic man you just you can't notice it as if the things you say are etched in stone if only ****** like you would stay at home No I can't comprehend your views on virtue and it's not common sense for me to be like you but you won't think it through no, you won't think it through

Condemn Your Codemners
Passion is excessive effort when you gotta leave you bed All my thoughts were once on fire then I strangled them to death I see this world through a thick lens of blinding apathy Not because I couldn't care less just because it helps me sleep It's a clinical indifference, baby, bask in your dispassion Clinical Indifference, let your lethargy become your guide Action is a senseless venture When you can't perceive an end All my words are now required to solicit emptiness I see a stranger in your eyes who I have known for years Not cause I couldn't care less it's just companionship breeds fear It's a clinical indifference, baby, bask in your dispassion Clinical Indifference, let your lethargy become your guide

Clinical Indifference
Call to arms against the normless social effigy nailed to metaphoric cross for signs of anomie Bathe now son, in bastard's blood now dripping from his cheek We define the deviance and he's the enemy He had it coming He was different Kick his head in He had it coming He was different Kick his head in Fall in line behind the prophet of disparaging Raised onto a pedestal for crushing vermin's dreams Graze now son, in fruitful fields that tend your every need we live with abundance while the rats are chewing seeds He had it coming He was different Kick his head in He had it coming He was different Kick his head in
