For the Love of God

There is no type of glass more fragile than my pride
I would rather burn the bridge than see it from that side
There's a deeper boiling here than meets the naked eye
Maybe I'm still suffering from bruises on my mind
I remember the very first time
I remember a thousand times, injured
Flabbergasted's too soft a word
For what he said caused pain and hurt:
"Ease up and learn to let it slide"
Assuming my human form takes all my self-control
Party City smile and googly eyes on plastic skull
I am real, and I'm no fool
I remember the reasons why
Tell myself of them every night
Have it writ on a note somewhere
Tattooed upon my chest in mirror:
Ease up and learn to let it slide
Everything was going fine
Finally revenge was mine
But as the final brick was laid
Heard someone on the inside say
Ease up and learn to let it slide

One Too Many

Have they determined
The fatal choice made
Should I have pulled left
Not right
In the crash
Key in ignition
Should he have stopped me
Was it the first one
not the one too many
Sooner or later, luck runs out, I guess
Happens to someone else
Not me, I thought
What could be better now
Than a drink to my health
That is a fault
When you know you're predisposed
Oh
So long before that
Impact that killed him
In warm delusion
I was the reason
A year today, 25
I awoke, room full of light
Could we be soul mates found
Laid on my back, then as now
(I thought) What could be better?

I want to throw you down
Something you can take
Helpful, I thought
But thoughts are flawed
It's time to put the phone down
Get a life, I know by now
When I see you hurt
I have all kinds of words
I just have no voice
to use
Just want to put my thoughts down
Soon enough I come around
As the seasons turn
I will fall to earth
I can't make that choice
for you

Shove Your Red Pill

Fuck off with your red pill
Truth is you're a douchebag
You're liberal, but spouting
false claims produced by nazis
Worth the youtube dollars
Sold conscience for followers
Suppose you're wrong, so what now?
Supposit that pill you're pushing
Believe the lie that it's only rational
See the truth that it's ethnonationalist
And when they're done with them they'll come for you
Fuck off with your word play
All cause you feel dumped on
I have no doubt you mean well
But it is so destructive

Loner Surfer

Impressive stakes
hanging on a rusty wire
that's set to snap
above crocodiles
Do not disturb
Let sleeping dogs lie
When you're their food
You better at least try
Ride a stone
Skip on blue
Ride a stone
Don't lose control
Hazard blind
Failing light guides me
I sacrifice to see it through
Sorry if I seem extreme
Like a loner surfer
on the blue
There's nobody there to
pull him through

False sense of security
Sleeping with one open eye
That is not enough anymore
Fully automatic life
Fires in the street
My beloved arms keep me warm
False alarm the other night
Caught a man brandishing peace sign
But it was just a jagged knife
Falling of one-sided dice
Following the process
Customer is always right
I'm missing someone missing someone
That someone who can keep me strong
Fighting myself tonight
Just like almost every other night
How'd I become so paranoid
and cold
Feeling not too bad, alright
Fucked it up for the second time tonight
I am a machine like that
