The Gun 03:25
I’d say it’s time to broach the subject, but we’re well beyond that point. Unspeakable carnage in a classroom doesn’t seem to wake us up. They’re all sitting ducks, yet nothing from us? Nothing from us? He never pulled the trigger, but he handed him the gun. If none of this gets your attention, you’re more evil than I thought. Blinded by blood-stained donations, turned your back on your own god. Turned your back on your own god. On your own god. He never pulled the trigger, but he handed him the gun. We’d like our kids to feel protected, so fuck your second amendment. It’s baffling there’s even a debate. The absurdity is endless. They’re all sitting ducks, yet nothing from us? Yet nothing from us? He never pulled the trigger, but he handed him the gun. He handed him the gun.

Hammer Head 02:22
Can’t sit still. Tension builds. Must keep moving on. Rather not hear my thoughts. They’ll let me down again. Buried in pointless guilt. Have I done enough? I might need some pills, or maybe shut the fuck up. Stubborn clocks never stop. I swear they’re speeding up. Another year is over and mainly I was wound up. It’s time to stop and smell the roses. I should meditate some more. I don’t want to be crippled. I want to be well. All my dreams torment me. I can’t laugh it off. I’ll pretend my life’s end won’t happen. Yeah right.

Negator 03:51
Months trapped in a lifeboat. Hunger wants me alive, but my thoughts don’t. I’m drifting along this floating desert. Every moment that’s passed, has been a torturous hell. Creatures circling me, while my vessel deflates. I’m a shell of man with no hope of escape. That’s when the current shifted. The skies opened up wide. My waning hopes finally lifted. There’s a fire in my gut. It’s a passionate one. There’s a fire in my gut. Good luck containing this one.

The Dagger 04:20
Until we stand up, we’re stuck in an endless ride. Keep your hands and feet inside the lines or consequences will follow through every time. So, toe the line, son. Outcomes aren’t up for debate. We thought we had more choice in how we evolve. But that’s our blind spot, I’m told. Vulnerable men react like evil boys. Threaten their way of life and you’ll be promptly met with waves of punishment. There’s grace in how we fail. Innocence swallowed by a whale. High stakes are on the line. There’s a dagger digging deep. We’re missing the familiar. Relive it in our sleep. There’s grace in how we fail. Innocence swallowed by a whale. Conscience retained. I can’t foresee this ending well. Take that leap. Don’t waste another second bound to the ground. Disrupt their flow. I can’t foresee this ending well. Conscience retained.
