so you broke your fall, twisted / abrasive. what's the use? if you're not into it close your legs then. you build your coward's wall, form wires to pour your casings. it was you. the truth left with your last face lift. cordial yet caught in turmoil, who's there to foil your plot? it was me. my breath still steams while your bones rot. hold a hand out to lead you. to keep you to feed you. your handler sent you only to invent your shame. tenderly tenured, he only exists to find fractures. undermine the exposed, the unknown that now shows. broken crayons drawing figures. invalids quoting scripture. i can't make it, it's your call.

CWC 04:46
odd girl gone. take her lumps in stride, now how's that feel? in touch still out of line. all those things you're concealing. when you gonna run away? when you gonna make it right? clicks may sound off time, it helps keep the rhythm real. my team steals solid signs. just tell me how you take it. when you gonna run away? when you gonna make it right? cope or kill? think slowly. even up our take, I'm sure one day you'll thank me. when you gonna run away? when you gonna make it right? coward with a crown, fair yet defeated. so glad that you could come around. fold your blinders down. hold your inhibitions down. it's evident in how you hold your brow. we kissed then celebrated. I wish we would've waited to hold again. there's magic there, there's more after the glow. it's torture to see it and know you won't believe me. erased all that was wasted when faced with these decisions. it's over. eroded. evolved from extortion.

when they built the great wall they took their time. they didn't simply throw a bunch of bricks in a line. they knew deep down inside they had to design a barrier guaranteed to keep the bad guys out. so they thought and they planned until they had it just right. double-reinforced foundation, stones stacked 40' high with the top lined with spikes and a tower on each side with a watchman inside performing around-the-clock lookout. they were safe, they were protected, they were well-schooled. the timing is right, strap on the same black mask as last night. you say you want freedom then you better show something. you don't want to be left behind but don't you give it away, you might need it some day. bombs burst overhead, so you take the reigns. if you're willing to escape the wall, well, you're more than welcome to try but upon leaving head our warning. so you want to see the sights, well, you can take them in but don't open your mind you may see something. & when you go and make your friends, converse at free will but don't listen you might learn something through the years kings died and their sons died and every generation of royalty decided never to allow any of the citizens to venture outside. they were safe. they were protected but they were all fools.

Force Fed 02:47
force fed sink to medicine, cracked cups we're forced to sip wish to have ice chips slid past these purple lips how dare you sit ignorant and waste your time you sip champagne while we're all shipped here to die most come without wounds drip, bleed out no hue in sight just black and off-white pockets bulge with numbness soon to find a vein orderlies scuffle single-file to scratch a name force fed from drip cracked cups we'll sip wish to have ice chips slid past these purple lips fucker you'll get yours expect nothing less it's in the cards cannot be denied hoist that rag your soul drowns in flames stating your god hates fags we'll hoist our rag you're force fed

it's mostly consequential the seller always pushes the chips in towards the table throw your fists to caution it's partly unrelated just face it, she's tactless mistakes evaluated celebrate the language light the flame for fallen the price remains inflated all blind invited take your seat at the vultures picnic playing the odds again? you'll see.

Heavyweight 02:47
heavyweight / shoulders burdened while the brittle bones are buckling / who was there to stare down your enemy? / and what's he done for you anyway? / tear the fabric that once back-lined our misery / isn't it just settling if it isn't me? / another couch cushion casualty / simple minds'll find time enough eventually / said you'd be callin' / look now, guess who's crawlin'? / seems that recently / snide comments rollin' easily and effortlessly / switch to reverse roles each and every day / now who's the fuckin' heavyweight? simply lay waiting / stir disconcernment / focus, ensuring / we come in this moment / it's clear we were closet that night when / we both just LOST CONTROL (so it)comes to craving replace what's been lost in lulfull souls / you fear what's not yet known / you bolt when awful's shown / said you'd be callin' / look now, guess who's crawlin?'/ you self indulge / succumb to craving replace what's been lost in lulfull souls in hell, the units are the 'grind' and 'fuck' / when talking cofee - 'cups' / in lust use 'thoughts' and 'touch' / said you'd be callin' / look now, guess who's crawlin'? your feet wish to be the brain able to choose / while your brain yearns to be feet / sit dumb down in those shoes / you said you'd be callin' / look now, guess who's crawlin'?

Shape Shift 03:52
time tells truth waits for no man truth sells when hands are stained in blood when the pigs are exposed by the filth that they lie in seems souls have been framed in cross-hairs skirt towards that line of faith & trust when the meek make their way out we'll begin to bargain I take the shape of no man, spit in the face of all mankind our courtship with the gavel has lost its action I claim this rock as my land, train native tongues to speak like mine we trade peace of our minds for a certain destruction hold onto dreams of old men scrap contracts written once in blood and the pigs still exposed by the filth that they lie in have-nots seek compensation cut by their shackles lined with rust when the meek finally rise up there'll be no need to bargain I claim this rock as my land, train native tongues to withstand receipts of hopeless orders, silence of a forgotten culture I take the shape of no man, spit in the face of all men posture fraudulent omens, all in the name of one man sent from high I know you think you've earned it but I deserve all this so lay down resign we trade peace of our minds for this certain destruction.
