Fade and Fall

Given my understanding of the weather
I never thought that May could be so cold
I never thought you’d be with us forever
But it tore us up to watch the end unfold
I can’t curl up and die despite the cold that still remains
And yes I am a student of the game
I know all too well of death
No one is to blame but nothing is the same
When it’s time to lay our own to rest
I can’t curl up and die despite the cold that still remains
I know far too much about death
This cold remains
I can’t hide
This cold retained
Aspiring someday to forget
I can’t curl up and die despite the cold that is retained

Predator/Prey

Your fear is a weapon against you
They wield it all too well
Tragically misled
This farce will surely be your end
These lies are a weapon against you
They wield them all too well
Relentlessly misled
You’ll bear these scars on your head
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the edge of the blade?
Did you feel yourself cease to feel
When you locked the door to your own cage?
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the tip of the spear?
Did you sense the forking of your tongue?
These lies as a weapon you wield
You know them all too well
Willingly misled
You’ve become the threat you fear
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the edge of the blade?
Did you feel yourself cease to feel
When you locked the door to your own cage?
Did it feel like you turned to steel
When you became the tip of the spear?
Did you sense the forking of your tongue?
Fair to say that we had blind spots at the time
Undercurrents and tides
Cling for dear life
Fair to say circumstance has pried open eyes
Undercurrents and tides
Cling to those lies
These lies as a weapon you wield
We know them all too well
Refuse to be misled
You’ve become the threat that you feared
You are the threat you fear
Cling to life
Cling to lies
Fear as Currency
Taste the poison, it fills your mouth
Taste like poison, you’re getting to like it now
Your eyes can’t decide
Taste the poison, it hits your veins
Taste the poison, repeat these refrains
Your eyes can’t decide
Spin these lies: disseminate disseminate
Recite these words: decimate decimate
Repeat them now with a dash of truth
You become them and they become you
Your eyes can’t decide
Taste the poison, it clouds your eyes
Taste the poison, until you lose your mind
Your eyes can’t decide
Your eyes
Wear them down and separate separate
Recite these words: indoctrinate indoctrinate
Repeat them now with a dash of truth
You become them and they become you
Finally fear is all you know in time it takes its toll
Finally fear is all you know and you surrender control
Finally fear is all that’s left what a sorry way to waste your last breath
Finally fear is all you know this fear is all you know
Fear is at the heart of this
Traitors
Become the poison

Bow Before Thieves

This den of thieves so comically corrupt
Too fucking on the nose to be believed
And yet you bow to them, kowtow to them
Remaining blissfully deceived
Knuckles gnarled fingers broken trusting in a hate unspoken
And those rewards for all your toil?
Choosing champions so depraved they’d steal the stone from off your grave,
You’ve handed over all your spoils
It’s treachery they try to hide
This treachery I won’t abide
It’s treachery they try to hide
This treachery I won’t abide
This den of fucking thieves
Too inhumane to be believed
And yet you bow to them, kowtow to them
Remaining blissfully deceived
So desperate to keep what’s yours you couldn’t see straight anymore
Now you’ll have to pay the price
You hired a fox to guard the henhouse and acted shocked at how it turned out
And I cannot freight surprise at
This double deal, This grift, This long con, This dirty trick
Thieves, and targets on our back
Thieves, till we start fighting back
