**ring around the rosy**
Does it get any better?
Everyone's got a soul with a savings and loan
I don't have the advice, that you ask by the slice
Why the fuck would I mind if I'm in the same boat?
All Thought, No Mind
Does it get any better?
Guess that I gotta do this all on my own
But that's a noble disguise, that you hide with a smile
As you mop up the blood of the innocent
All Thought, No Mind
We've been believing for a long time
We've been believing for a long time
You better mean it as we all die out
And we all fall down
And we all die out
Does it get any better?
Everyone's got a soul with a savings and loan
That's a noble disguise that you hide with a smile
As you mop up the blood of the innocent
All Thought, No Mind
We've been believing for a long time
We've been believing for a long time
You better mean it and we all fall down
And we all fall down
And we all die out
Let's all die out

Hey! Just your bastard anomaly
Trial by guillotine, die by the sword
Say what you got is a family
That way you come off modestly shameless
And I see through you
I see through you
Hey! Just a bastard anomaly
Tucked away in disingenuous prayer
Claim what I am is catastrophe
That way you can sleep modestly shameless
You only cornered the animal
It only hurts when it's visible
And I see through you
I see through you
You're just modestly shameless
You only cornered the animal
It only hurts if it's visible
You only cornered the animal
It only hurts when it's visible
You only cornered the animal
You only cornered the animal
It only hurts
It only hurts
You're just modestly shameless
(And I see through you)
You're just modestly shameless

Rise, stand, kneel
Symbolic rendering
I can’t breathe
Meet the oppressor’s niche
It’s by design (It’s by design)
Whether it’s you or me
Leave me be, restless again
Ready or not it seeps
Into the conscious feed
What do you want from me
Nothing exists for free
Judge, take, seize
Obligatory greed
Watch me seethe
Into a lasting grief
That place in time (that place in time)
Doesn’t exist for me
Let me be, callous again
Ready or not it seeps
Into the conscious feed
What do you want from me
Nothing exists for free
The instinct is gone
You’ve prayed to be prey
Castrated by one’s belief
The logic is flawed
That thick skin is meek
Hey deadbeat
Pack up your shit and get lost
The end is here
The end is here
Sight, touch, feel
Relative memory
Rank, file, creed
Common consistently
I can’t decide (I can’t decide)
How to extend conceit
Let me grieve, in a suspense
Ready or not it seeps
Into the conscious feed
What do you want from me
Nothing exists for free
The instinct is gone
You’ve prayed to be prey
Castrated by one’s belief
The logic is flawed
That thick skin is meek
Hey deadbeat
Pack up your shit and get lost
The end is here
The end is here
It’s always justice
When you spit your take
I’m only useless
Until you need something
It’s always silent
When you’re not listening

Irony (RFM Audio Mix)
05:01
|
|||
And when they hear these words, they will go down in infamy
Me and the irony
Price tag, for the distance
Only costs ya what you grimace
I can't feel it anymore
Some say we're born of the saint
Some say we're born of the whore
No, I won't need this anymore
Everything is the same, just not the same as before
When the still sea conspires
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead (all that was from The Doors' "Horse Latitudes", pretty cool, huh?)
I'm lost for what it's worth
I'm here to see you off to sea
And bid you misery
Priceless
Photo finish
What's my problem?
What's your business?
I can't feel it anymore
Everything is the same just not the same as before
And when they hear these words
They will go down in infamy
Me and the irony
Price set
For the distance
What's the problem?
Why you grimace?
I can't feel it anymore
Everything is the same just not the same as before
No, I won't need this anymore
My existence was always miniscule
No one there for me
By my side
Peace is there for me
Dead or alive

I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love
I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross
Love is simple, hate breeds
Those who think difference is the child of disease
Father and son make love and guns
Families together kill someone
Without love, I believe in love
Without love I wouldn't believe
In anything that lives and breathes
Without love I'd have no anger
I wouldn't believe in the right to stand here
Without love I wouldn't believe
I couldn't believe in you
And I wouldn't believe in me
Without love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love

See this ancient riverbed
See where all my folly's led
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
I was just some tow-head teen
Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Sweet descend this rabble 'round
The pretty little patter of a seaport town
Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag
All dolled up in gabardine
The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

I'll be fine. Myself
Help me find myself
One way or the other
I swear
You got the gift of overstimulation
In Slumlord City
And all this time, the time was now
We're here for the feeding
However demeaning
He who owns the freedom taps the well
You don't have to use that look to judge me
I've got a shame like no one else
No one else
One way or the other
I swear
Swallow that trauma
Destroy your pity
And help yourself to all this hell (help)
You don't have to use that lie to keep me
Don't count on faith to ride this out
Relay that message
This wreckage is blessed
I'll be fine. Myself
Help me find myself
One way, or the other, I swear
Thank you
No really, thank you
Thank you
No really
I'll be fine. Myself
Help me find myself

Starve a Narcissist
05:09
|
|||
Covert narcissists are very difficult to recognize and even more difficult to expose. They can appear wounded, gentle, and even vulnerable. They attempt to appeal to your empathy. The initial lack of overt arrogance can derail fears or suspicions.
They epitomize, a wolf in sheep's clothing ...
It’s interesting to see where you seek out validation.
Placated by those snakes and rehearsing your best take.
And all that you're asking for is everyone to just hear it one more time because obviously if someone doesn't get it the first time they must not have heard you at all. Repetition, conditioning, is key.
And of course, by all means, you’re ever so entitled to what you want from me.
To get what you want again
To take what you want again
Your royal highness
You’re full of shit
Weaponizing victim
Starve a narcissist
A grandiose with meat hooks
Let’s have a fit
Proud to be the villain
Starve a narcissist
Alright, ok. Let’s turn this all around, again. It’s obviously me and/or everyone else that’s the problem. Absolutely nothing you could be doing, not doing, or doing better. Got it. You know what a narcissist can’t fucking fake? When that ego takes over. Even when a covert manipulator learns a behavior, all you gotta do is set your boundaries. Tell them no. Watch how that cruel spirited, little cry baby comes raging out.
Your royal highness
You’re full of shit
You weaponize the victim
Starve a narcissist
A grandiose with meat hooks
Let’s have a fit
Proud to be the villain
Starve a narcissist
Yeah, yeah, yeah dig it all out
A parasitic ego don’t host itself
Do the world a favor
And choke
Do the world a favor
And choke on this

I heard you driving in my car
Then in a frozen bar
I claimed I didn't care for you
But your verse got trapped inside my head
Over and over again
You played yourself to death in me
I thought I'd drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tick
So you invade my sleep
And confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
You've got me paralyzed
Holding on the telephone
I hear your midrange moan
You're everywhere inside my room
Even when I'm all alone
I hear your mellow drone
You're everywhere inside of me
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, til' the end of time
You've got me trapped
I can't escape
Your incessant whine
When you beam it out
All across the sky
No I can't escape
Your insipid rhyme
When you shoot it deep
Straight into my mind
