   There is nothing. No education. No family life to open my
   Arms to. You'd say that my job is today, yet gone tomorrow.
   I'll be broke in a gutter.
   I know the opinion. A broken record. Fuck you and your
   College dream. Fact is, we're stronger than all.
   You're working for perfect bodies, perfect minds and perfect
   Neighbors. But I'm helping to legalize dope on
   Your pristine streets and I'm making a fortune.
   You're muscle and gall. Naive at best. I'm bone, brain and
   Cock. Deep down stronger than all.
     A sad state of affairs. A crippled America. A pipe dream
   Buttfucked. Immune. Stronger than all.
     A lament for a rookie officer, punk ass weak little lamb.
     For the mob, truly, does rule at this particular time.
   We've grown into a monster. An arrogant, explosive motherfuck.
   Hard as a rock. Shut like a lock.
   Finally, the president in submission. He holds out his hand on
   Your television and draws back a stump. It's too late for some.
               Far too late.
    No more holdbacks. No more paying a cops paycheck. Let him
   Bust his own child. The son that heeds my word and smokes my dope.
   The daughter that sucks me off and snorts cheap anything.
      Hail Kings. The new Kings. Stronger than all.
   A simple process to legalize. There would not be a choice but to
   Take our side. Be there no question of certain strengths. Know
   This intention. Forever stronger than all.

   A long time ago I never knew myself. Then the memory
   Of shame birthed its gift.
   No more. The small one, the weak one, the frightened one.
   Running from beatings, deflating. I'm becoming more
   Than a man. More than you ever were. Driven and burning
   To rise beyond Jesus.
               I'm born again with snakes eyes
               Becoming Godsize
   I found my life was slipping through my hands. Perhaps
   Through death my life won't be so bad.
   I can see you, can fuck you, inside of you. Staring through
   Your eyes. Belittle your friends to serve me, to suck me,
   To realize my saving grasp. I of suicide. I the unlord.
               I'm born again with snakes eyes
               Becoming Godsize

   I see you had your mind all made up you group of
   Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
   Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
   Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
   What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole.
         You've waged a war of nerves
         But you can't crush the kingdom
     Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
     You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us...
               5 minutes alone
   I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for
   A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter
   Rascist tool. -You can't burn me- I've spilled my guts out
   In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where
     I've come [from]. My past.
         You've waged a war of nerves
         But you can't crush the kingdom
     Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
     You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us...
               5 minutes alone

    I fucked your girlfriend last night.
   While you snored and drooled, I fucked your love.
   She called me Daddy. And I called her baby when I
   Smacked her ass. I called her sugar when I ate
   Her alive till daylight. And I slept with her all
   Over me, from forehead to ribcage I dripper her ass.
   Sometimes I thought you might be spying, living out some
   Brash fantasy, but no. You were knocked out. But we were
   All knocked out you know. In a way
         I serve too many masters.
   We didn't know you'd break the bottle that the magic
   Came in to use those jagged shards to slit our wrists
   And neck. And you'd do it too, you're that kind of dude.
    But you wouldn't know what you were doing because
   I didn't, your girlfriend could have been a burn
   Victim, an amputee, a dead body. But god damn I wanted
         To fuck.
          I'm serving too many fucking masters.
   [I told you. I told you motherfucker]

   As a child I was given the gift to entertain you.
   But through blood I inherited a life that could destroy you.
   I drink all day. I smoke all day. I've done it all but tap
     The vein.
   These hard lines and sunken cheeks are text book reasons
   All these Christians come alive and try to sell you
          My soul for a goat, yet I'll outlive the old.
   You know it's bad, some may say sad, a hangover is
   Inspiration. Like a junkie I hurt for it. A bad trip, the
   Emptiness. I never sleep, or always sleep a lack of
   Fulfillment to me is me. The big picture.
   These hard lines and sunken cheeks are part of
   What the Christians mean to immortalize my situation.
         My soul for a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old.
         Embrace some religion. To get close to some
         Undivine ejaculation point.
   Simply to thy ghost I cling.
   Simply to thy ghost I reject.
   Simply to thy ghost I give spit.
   Tempter, tempting, tempt me. Molest me. You know that I'll
   Submit. For this is my weakness and it saves me from relationships
   With those Christians. You know they'll sell you my soul
         For a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old.

   One's own Kingman, Christ person, Woman God.
   At battle with a mass astrengent. The bond
   That blends the weak to the wise.
   It's a safe assumption that you'd want
   to save me now. But I'll never face castration.
   For your sacred sow is left slaughtered.
   Brainwashed by me. Myself influence I. Bird brained
   World saver. A fake god rests dead inside you.
   It's a safe assumption that you'd want to save me now.
   But I'll never face castration. For your sacred sow is left
                Slaughtered.
   System destroyed. Exposed and unployed. The fruit
   Of intention cry for their dead, but turning their head to
   Ignore reality's claw. Knife to your wrist, syringe in your
   Arm is your ounce of prevention. Give what you made,
   And under your name on your grave, is salvation. A big
   Fucking joke.
   Slaughter the pig, the self rightous king for your own
   Restoration. For your God is in your chest, and faith kills
   What is precious, for death is unanswered.
               Do sin.

   I vent my frustration at you old man, after
   Years your ears will hear..You screamed that you
   Tried, but it's words of a weakling and promises made
   By a drunken liar [fucking liar]. Now you pick up that splintered
   Chair, that was aiming for your head. A head that should
   Have been long ago kicked in by me. Alone.
   I won't lose a second of sleep for this...Don't touch me.
   Orphaned to the dope and drinks, I learned my lesson well,
   Somehow(?), from you. No tears. Can't clutch my regrets.
   But these years of detachment have left me with
   Demons now surfacing. But I'm becoming more than nothing.
   You never knew the answers to any of my questions, did you?
   You made up all the answers to my unimportant existence.
   But now you don't have to dump me off, not again...
         Don't touch me again.
       I vow, lest I die tomorrow...
   You'll never be the father I am. The bastard father to
   The thousands of the ugly, criticized, the unwanted. The
   Ones with fathers just like you. We're fucking you back.
   I'm shoving my life right down your throat. Can I
   Find the guts? Can I feel the heart? Look at the
   Ground as you choke me up, does it taste like tequila?
        Or failure?
          We're fucking you back.

   I don't want you to look at me while I'm shedding
   Skin. I can't afford for you to see what's inside me.
   I'd rather shoot myself than have you watch me. I
   Feel you'd steal my skin to try and wear me.
   I was betrayed, one more day of my short life. You were
   Carried away. You had no shame. To suffocate my being.
   I was me, but you weren't you. You were sticking to me like
   a scab...so I peeled you away, and bled for days. Then
   Stepped out of myself.
        I'm shedding skin, changing within, I'm falling in.
        Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside.
        I'm shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem.
        I created the end, I'm killing a friend. I'm shedding my skin.
   I don't think you belong in here, I feel I'm sick. Don't ask because
   You know damn well where I've been. I've kept a simple
   Woman through the thick and thin. But I've found the guts
   to sever from my Siamese twin.
   I throw you away. Everyday. A dead part of life. Strangling
   back. Seething black. In between my longing for torture.
   Blood on my face that came from your face. The mix
   Of kissing and bleeding. I put you away. I shut you away.
   I pissed you away. I threw you away.
        I'm shedding skin, changing within, I'm falling in.
        Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside.
        I'm shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem.
        I created the end, I'm killing a friend. I'm shedding my skin.
   You're fucking, and sucking. You're friendless. It's endless.
   Your flower has soured. It's endless. You're friendless.
   It's harder. And stronger. But no one's been inside you longer.
   Or harder. Or deeper. To get you off, you need the fear.
   It's never love. Bloody touch. Broken wrist. Needle rust.
   Choking throat. Swallowed teeth. Head fuck. No peace.
   I'm shedding my skin to peel you off of me.
   You've got to love me.
   Ornament. Shrunken head. Playtoy. Snake strike. Poisonous.
   Syphillis. Drenched me. Soaked me.
   I'm shedding my skin to drain you out of me.
   You've got to hate me.

   Enlight your sense of thought, of touch, of real, a shield,
   An underground for this coward.
   Building a blood in water scent. It's like some raping,
   without judgement.
   Boy in a pocket. Balls in a bag. Serve and
   Protect you. His dick his gun, his brain his badge.

   A faster way to kill them all would take too goddamn long.
   Absorb through pores the great escape. Kill that fuck
   to show him up. Equal his displeasure now. Stab his
   Ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for.
              Ourselves.
   Arm yourself. A branch. A third arm. Extend your health,
   Crawl inside euphoria. Building a blood in water scent. It's
   Like a scraping. It's entrapment. Boy in a pocket. Balls in
   A bag. Perverted handle. His getting by is a fisted fuck.
   A faster way to exterminate them takes too fucking
   long. Absorb through pores the great escape.
   Kill that fuck to show him up. Equal his displeasure now.
   Stab his ass, a reminded past of what the fuck we live for.
              Ourselves.
   Half assed for most his life. Piss poor little ham. NARO
   boy- A fake fuck limp dick. Sucking up to the man.
    And the world. We need a fucking cold war.

     This is feeding what I am.
   It's like salt poured into a deep, infected wound. It's the
   type of pain you really dig and long for. I've always been
   Insecure to open up and show love. Some pretty girl with
   Long hair, some bald guy writhing.
   rejection...The kind that's self induced. The tongue that's
   Bitten through. The nauseating stab. Is feeding what
         I am. A short fuse.
   If there really is a god, then it's punishing me constantly.
   She let me taste that sugarhole and of course, I wanted
    More.
   But no. I'm reduced to a Rottypanol snort and a lot of drinks.
    This shit goes on and on. Just look down my pants.
   Rejection...It ain't a fucking game. My human dick to
   blame. A sociopathic plan. Is feeding what I am.
   Rejection...Takes life away from eyes. Will give you to
   The skies. It makes me more than a man. Is drowning
    What I am.

   We sail through endless skies
   stars shine like eyes
   the black night sighs
   The moon in silver trees
   falls down in tears
   light of the night
   The earth, a purple blaze
   of sapphire haze
   in orbit always

   While down below the trees
   bathed in cool breeze
   silver starlight breaks down the night
   And so we pass on by the crimson eye
   of great god Mars
   as we travel the universe

The Badge      

young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy
five-time loser bust his head, make your day
unless you're paid off then you look away
do you thimk this corruption will ever stop
what makes a person want to be a cop
ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry

pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side
sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
badge-wearing facist villian
pissed in the street, you bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry

the badge means you suck
a child lies there dead
as you look back, what goes through your head

young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
fresh out of the academy
five-time loser bust his head, make your day
unless youre paid off then you look away
he burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy
do you like to see his children cry
ran a red light, take her for a little ride
but get sucked off on the side

the badge means you suck
a child lies there dead
as you look back, what goes through your head
