Just look how far we’ve come. Marvel at our forward march. Empathy to be replaced by spinning wheels and moving parts. Drawn in a lab, cast in a mold. Primates to wield a power untold. Impeccable aim and exceptional taste. The push of a button lays cities to waste. Human civilization makes no amends. Obliteration leaves you with no spoils to defend. Drawn in a lab, cast in a mold. Primates to wield a power untold. Impeccable aim and exceptional taste. The push of a button lays cities to waste. Shape and rebuild, seek and destroy. No end to payloads of “peace” to deploy. Torn from the earth, pounded to dust. This is the difference between them and us. Them or us. Fly a tattered rag so we can see what’s yours and mine, but when there is no sand, where will you draw the line?

Messianic Delusion

Right hand of God. Blind in both eyes. Spawning deceivers cast down from the skies. Ivory makes the best bricks for a tower without windows, and crosses are a comfort to your minions’ grieving widows. Mouth of the serpent that opens and shuts. Strings of the puppet that you’ll never cut. Ivory makes the best bricks for a tower without windows, and crosses are a comfort to your minions’ grieving widows. A future that ends long before it can start. Grand totals much less than the sum of their parts.

I've come to validate my life in a reality that's not my own. I find others too honest for me and it makes me feel like I'm not in fucking control. I've got a couple of words for your fucking gravestone -- Pathetic and Devoid -- I'm afraid we're bereft of any value -- Twittered to fucking death -- I've got two words for your fucking gravestone -- Pathetic and Devoid -- Might as well crawl into our coffins and close the fucking lids. Coddling each other with technology's escape. We still love our shackles, bright and sparkling. "My identity's important to define." Your celebrity is a fucking lie. It's the same damn thing, just more blatant -- we're in fucking denial. Jonestown was blind, but in the end they got it right.
