1. Pain by Numbers
Fill it in
You know all the details
Fake them all before
My dark days
Commodify
Spend before you earn
Learn the difference
It’s too late
What you create
What you pretend
My armor is down
Shield on the ground
2. Instauration
This may cause a
revolution
Spinning, winning
No one to race
Some great answer
apostrophe
Turning, burning
Begin anew
3. Two Years in Texas
Tell them, they’re waiting
They’re dying
You’re lying there
Prone to distort
Submission, your mission
Tell them, celebrate
They’re waiting
It’s too late
To know what’s happening
Decision, revision
Tell them, they’re waiting
They’re dying
You’re lying there
Tell us what’s happening
What’s it worth to you?
Tell me
4. Panoply
Arrayed and flayed
Spread before
Cover, protect me
I want the same
Unseat, complete me
Weapons seized
Align, define me
It’s all about you
Give away
Take away
Arrayed and flayed
Spread before
Cover, protect me
I want the same
5. Free Radical
You’re so severe
So extreme
So tired
Where are you today?
Curing cancer?
Answer me
You want society
Without humanity
Swerving
Serving
The natural slave
6. Mere Rebels
7. Children Cope with Boredom
Declare war on nature
Capitulate so easily
Acquiesce
I’m unlike
My angst
Who cares
It’s breezy
It’s easy
Declare war on nature
Give in, give out
I need
nothing, no one
I am beyond
Declare war on nature
Capitulate so easily
Acquiesce
I’m different
My anger
Who cares
8. Splatterism
Cloak yourself
Choke yourself
Yawn it
till it hurts
Grimace or smile
All the while
Pretending
You’re yawning
till it hurts
Honey
Money
Sunny waste of time
9. Everyday Genius
Wormwood in a honeyed prize
Despised
This ride done before it started
Martyred
This train derailed at the station
Impatient
You created this complaining
Staining
It’s never raining until you’re dry
Ask why
Wormwood in a honeyed prize
Despised
Who do you think you are?
Mediocre
You come along everyday
Either way
In every way middling
Are you kidding?
