Technocracy

This ecological atrocity finally
Caves in on itself...perhaps it's
All for the better
Lock your doors and say goodnight
As toxins leach out of sight
We're living in the new age
Of electronic security
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending some laws
Living in fear making something
Of yourself is making fifty grand
A year
The technology that spawned
Our every convenience
Creating more and more poison
Pledge of toxic allegience
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending laws
All American clones
On and on their sermon drones
Rabbit at your career
It goes on all around you
Part of this insanity
Working for the technocracy
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending some laws
There are limits to
Growth on this planet but 
There is no limit to your
Green or potential to
Exploit...the end of 
Suffering or just an
Eternal scream


Hungry Child

"Looking for answers?" laughed the hungry child
"Pushing your answers leave none desired."
The hungry child worships
Spreading their cancer into unscarred brains
Damaged and unoccupied, ready to train
The hungry child worships
Powerfully twisting words he's resisting
  god he's resisting
Powerfully screaming "What is life's meaning?
  "We have life's meaning"
The hungry child...worships NO MORE!



Happily Ever After

How did I come to become
How did we come to become this way
When we were inseparable
Formula of rituals I have lived
Lost time-resentment
I can't forgive when we were
  inseparable
Made a commitment to resentment
You will never forget it
Side by side oblivous protected
Someone to hide behind
Situation of security
Foundation of stability
Happily ever after
I won't but that shit
Happily ever after
Sacrifice my freedom
My precious time
For money and security
For my senile state of time
Look in the future
Save all my money
While life slips away
Slip away unchallenged
Happily ever after
Stagnating ill choking on
A bitter pill something went
Wrong this is not how I am
Supposed to feel there must
Be something seriously wrong
With me I've gone out and
Done all the things that
were supposed to bring me
Harmony still not
Satisfied someone must
Have lied about this
Formula formula of
Rituals I have lived
So busy so involved inyour lie
That I forgot to even try
Only alive to do what's
Prescribed?
Living a sacrifice?


Crawling

Behind the bars, can't feel the scars
Scars that won't heal wasted potential
Potential vaporization
Incineration of doubt burn away
Sadness tears evaporate
Forget the forgotten consumed
By those who brought them
Reality comes crawling crawling
Reality crawling
The wound has healed but no healed right
It's time to open up to the air of the night
Condescending eyes haunting crawling
In my mind haunting haunting my life
Lying to yourself to dull the pain
Long uried feelings infect you agian
The time has come to exorcise
Disinfect the lies bad spirits arise, arise
Symbolic dreams fo broken chain
Faith-reassurance was your crutch cane
So many things never realized
Stand up to your now before your eyes
In a ceremoney set up in your head
You reckon with forsaken dead
On a judgment hill beneath the moon
You realized you spoke too soon
Crawlin crawling reality crawling
The time has come to exorcise
Disinfect the lies bad spirits arise
What direction wlecomes you?
Which inviting path do you choose
Crawling crawling reality 
Crawling...
