Did you really come to expect Things to really turn out this way? Do you have any regrets? Are you ready for your first day? Assume the position That you never really wanted You were just an ambition But now you've become the hunted Don't go burning bridges Unless you're ready for a fire You provide the privilege And I'll uncover my desire We've got problems You can't solve them Did you become pariah elect On the belief you'd hold your own leash? Do you believe that they'll protect Your effigy as it burns from our freedom of grief? Lawsuits and convictions That you never really wanted You were an act of contrition But now you've become unwanted The angry masses came through And your masters are much less discrete Will the USSS save you When your people bite the hand that tweets? You've got problems Words can't solve them Rather be right than sane You can't burn bridges without a fire

I’m terrorized by all these aryan reactions Beaten down by their factions So I busy myself with distractions I busy/bury myself in inaction Virtues of selfishness expoused by the selfish Grabbing headlines and pelvis And I can’t believe they’re trying to sell this I can’t believe they’re trying/able to sell this Feels like we’re sitting on a nuclear reactor Hot on the heels of disaster And the fall of Rome can't come any faster We’re global warming up to disaster My news feed IV like a shot of adrenalin It feels like motherfucking 911 And I don’t believe we’re going to heaven I don’t believe we’re going to heaven Control Alt Right Delete Protecting hate speech with fallacious semantics Reaction aryan antics And I don’t know if I’m just a romantic I might just be a hopeless romantic Not left off hook thanks to your persistence Others show their resistance But I don’t know if I can make a difference I don’t know if it makes any difference It's true we hurt the ones we love the most No wonder I'm such a masochist I'm such a masochist I don't know what I'm doing Does anybody know?

You only care for health When it affects yourself You act upon instinct And talk in double speak You put your country first And make everything worse So show us what you mean Mar-a-Lago swamp thing You'll bleed a little bit just to Make them all suffer more than you Double speak to me in slogans I can understand Is this just all a labour of love? The missiles raining down Hypocrisy abound So turn us inside out And run your filthy mouth You’ll just keep fucking up You'll just keep fucking up

rutgers 03:18
i'm a dreamer who never sleeps i never quit; i admit defeat take a bite, metastasize fill that hunger deep inside my envy, essential to the plate i make myself without utensils binge and malnutrition you've always got so much to say why don't you shut up and listen? i saw you touch her i'm onto you, you motherfucker go back to rutgers i saw you touch her i'm onto you

time is an indifferent goddess her silence is contagious my prayers leave me beguiled with open mouth i find my voice sharpen my tongue yet have no choice like an infibulated child my body left to represent someone else's needs without consent or responsibility with open mouth, i cannot breathe relentlessly, i'm dragged along righteously paraded as wrong identity forgone it goes and comes around as my words have no depth indifference fosters more contempt but not enough to give a shit either way with open mouth and absolutely nothing to say and my face is like a bad, bad headache a picture perfect depiction of rape alleviating with each passing night clear enough to avoid, but vague enough not to know why and though i've learned to live in silence like a victim who won't leave i like to make believe there's a voice inside of me with open mouth

this state of mind is out of service this cult of belief doesn't scratch the surface did you ever think you'd be so nervous born into privilege when you don't deserve it the doors are opening and closing 'round me the scope of my denial astounds me why complain when you can remain complacent why demand a thing when you can feel displacement why fill an ugly void when you're so pretty vacant why be a hero when no one's got the patience discomfort from everyone around me hands over fists, I raise them proudly the hopes of ever changing things confounds me the way I choose to live, it sure feels cowardly the matter of all lives good intentions make them all regret our interventions you're not the president you're just an instance those who take residence can't show resistance who says what matters most whose voice is heard it's the matter of all lives it's what's the matter with all lives i'm too proud to stand for what i'm not because i'm too quick to scapegoat what i am to some, that's words of wisdom too proud to stand for what i demand tensions are rising polls are surprising

chameleon 04:12
i'm getting fat my hairline is thin got a porcelain back and prosthetic limbs drink myself sick eat skin-popping seeds got a small, flaccid prick and a shitload of needs what i was, what I am, what i will become never gave much a damn for the damage i've done features fractured in place, i'm a chameleon and I'll rip off your face a whole not akin to my sinew or skin i'm as easy to read as they're prone to believe got something to find, not from what's refined there's nothing that's mine, i don't know what i am by design intelligent design

Won’t you just try to relax Let me prop your pillow and pump the trepidation You're at a loss for syntax Social justice warrior without a vocation I’m interested in the facts But better off with hymns and salvation You’ve caught me right in the act Of being found without a foundation Nothing to lose when you’re the status quo Nothing to lose when you’re the status quo Nothing to lose when you’re the status quo Straight Anglo libertarian techbro You’ve got me nailed to the cross I was never born if it’s any consolation I know how to take a loss I don’t know a tale from a tender situation Every band I listened to in high school Every band I listened to in high school Every band I listened to in high school Take a dip in the white privilege cesspool Now all I’ve got are my thoughts Pulping criticism without provocation my heart it bleeds and it clots Social justice warrior in need of validation Freedom of privileged speech

When I look at you on the train, I often wonder what you think of me when we happen to meet each other's gaze, which we always do. I try not to stare but I sometimes can't help but wonder how long it will take before you realize I'm looking your way, watching you fumble with your headphones as I pretend to listen to mine. Three seconds? Five seconds? Ten seconds? How long before my uninvited male gaze alerts your sixth sense, your womanly intuition, your rape radar as I stare unapologetically, my battery eyes like acid eating away at any sense of comfort and normalcy, although it's very normal for you to feel unsafe in such a patriarchal world. It's not fair for you to always need to keep your guard up, but then life isn't fair, and you've come to expect many young men locking their battery acid eyes onto your battered skin and sense of safety. We're conditioned from an early age by our tribesmen, told we can take what we want and ask for consent later if not come across as incredibly victimized in a sort of backwards discrimination for being young, hungry men with hungry eyes ready to batter your agency into a placenta like pulp as we like Mother Nature make you bleed for your womanhood. Do you think I'm going to follow you off your stop? Do you turn your head and look back and expect me to grab you from behind, bend you over and fuck your self-confidence into a state worse than death, your body shaking at the very task of walking to and from work, feeling unsafe in a crowded room and even more vulnerable when alone? You are a human being worthy of respect, autonomy, and being free from lecherous, adulterous, salivating, fetishizing, other-ing, rape-tinged gazes from the male lense

cheese beast 04:12
Ooh, baby…whatcha been doin’ to me lately? You redefine porn Like a brand new life form The calm before the cum storm Bull come get at your horn You know what I like And you sharpen that knife Stand and deliver, clean your pipes Take in some chicken delight White collared like a priest You bear the mark of the beast And now it’s time to feast Flesh slippery when released We keep the fuck up all night You know I don’t like it tight Spread your left wing and right ‘Cause the creator wants light Let there be light Ooh, baby…whatcha been doin’ to me lately? Before you make it hard to breathe Grind my face like a cheese Greater than any sort of sleaze And I’m so eager to please It’s consensual of course But I still use the Force Be in you always ‘til you’re hoarse No glove, no love, no remorse And did you need a receipt I’ll shoot it over your feet We ain’t nothin’ but freaks In our sexual peaks So let’s cross that summit I cum all over your stomach Ain’t much of a mystery ‘Cause your boo know whodunit I done it Ooh, baby…whatcha been doin’ to me lately?
