Pulse 04:11
when you dance do you forget? crushed by flashing lights there is anger in your kiss it's the only thing that keeps me alive you you learned to be somebody else you could recognize yourself oh i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried oh cause in this world sometimes people they just wanna shoot you dead if you don't do it to yourself instead and i know despite my best intentions i could never understand the nuances of your pain ------------------------------ these gay cops will take your grief, your rage, your fear and use it to further their agenda

The Blood 03:46
as we stand on this blood soaked land built upon bodies active forgetting borders and prisons I tell myself that: I benefit from it, i benefit from it, i benefit from it, how do you benefit? complicit complicit complicit

PH: addicted to rejection addicted to social media addicted to bareback loads i'm so stupid i'm the dumbest faggot at this party Softie: your kidding me right? like seriously, in all honesty you can still feel your hole? like you can still have sensations down there? wow i'm jealous i haven't been able to feel mine in days i was going to say i really like your beard and your harness it was like the first thing I noticed when you walked into the room do you like poppers? oh i don't like them but i have some would you like some? you think you're walking right away from society you take your pill so you can be free today tomorrow's far away you're dancing on the floor with anxiety your heart starts to stutter stutter stutter your heart starts to stutter and you see their face and they look so happy and all you want to do is grab them by the face and tell them that you're happy and that you wanna say "i feel so alive" but i just feel so dead inside like all the time and i know it won't be hard without you you know i think i'm gonna be the loneliest person here even when this bar closes and probably for the rest of my life PH: addicted to novelty addicted to processed food addicted to empathy addicted to validation addicted to bareback loads addicted to information last chance to touch another human body whats the point of sitting alone in your room?

Oblivia: 7 killed in twitter rampage frozen clutches of social disaster out here scrolling through screens like its the end of the world i dont like the person you’ve become i dont like the person I've become either this planet has caused me nothing but trouble since i moved here this world has caused me nothing but pain and grief im not from here! im not from here! im not from here! PH: i just wanna feel the blood rush to my head crush my body in a swift moment of disgust i get rid of myself and shift in the ether riding metal waves i'll never forgive you you could have your dignity back but really whats the point in that? Both: the rush of it all the widening core the thrill of the fall my cervix is sore cum on my shoulder blades Oblivia: im going through it all im really going through it all 7 killed in twitter rampage frozen clutches of social disaster out here scrolling through screens like its the end of the world i dont like the people we've become i dont like the people we've become

Alli Logout: it was beautiful really though are thoughts were grounded in filth we stopped worrying with dualisms and the in betweens and lived only for flesh, coded flesh stability at this point became mechanical just another part of a dead language in a dead culture though thru this we still glamorized safety like the kind in a child's eyes unknowingly entering into a wireless world with horrendous possibilities the ego dissolving pleasure is a title destruction is survival you were rocked by the hum of a television screen ambivalent and gorgeous nonetheless recognition software clinging softly to your back when i'm logged on i forget see the flaw in semiotics and the pressure from robotics they see you they need you they're coming deprogramming oneself to learn to fuck gently to Sade a master flaw in design reckless, perfect, and alive enter in the flesh matrix just enter in flesh matrix you have entered into the flesh matrix human, animal, machine the ego dissolving is ready to distract the ego evolving is ready to attack

Dehumanizer 04:06
dead meat, the flesh that falls from me it's true, it's true the swollen lake this water won't purify you it's true, it's true i want you to dehumanize me piss in all my orifices make me not exist i wonder if i will die here all the things you do to survive there's a troubled weight clouding over my eyes is it weariness over things to come? or just from looking at my phone all day? remember when we were young and taut? are you scared now or apathetic? lick the come from my ass as i cringe on the hotel bed
10.
Empathy 02:21
all this talk of blood and iron and the stink of piss and shit i''ll hold you up this world's on fire i don't think that much time is left all this talk of psychic warfare and the threat of imminent death can i hold you up or am i too selfish? i don't think that much time is left
