1. Cemetery
Dead man walking, living, breathing
Existing immune to anti-depressants
Surrounded by a vast populous of souls
And I can't connect with a single one
Disconnecting, becoming misanthropic
I'll never find true love
Kill the nerves until I feel nothing
And every last emotion has gone numb
I dont want to be like this
But this is who I am
A creature of bad habits
In an unchangeable rut
It sickens me that Im jealous
At the sight of happiness
All I have to look forward to
Is dying alone
2. Sandscape
Almighty sun
Blisters my skin
Almighty sun
Blinds my sight
Almighty sun
Burning on strong
Combing the desert
"We ain't found shit"
Each sand grain
Looks exactly the same
Miles of nothing
In all directions
I count each speck
A billion times over
Break my spirit
With dehydration
Individuality lost
Under almighty sun
3. Smoke-a-saurus Rex
Sweet leaf foliage a-plenty
In the sticky green jungle
Black lung inhales deeply
And exhales volcanic smoke
Rows of razor-sharp teeth
In bone-crushing jaw
Overcome the problem
Of useless arms
Nostrils flare
When the stench hits the air
Scavenger on the prowl
Looking for a stash
Red-eyed beast blazes
Toking back to the stoned age
4. Scrabble
Drinking the tea of Qat leaves
During this war of words
The tiles cover the board
Like little open sores
Spelling hallucinations
Dictionary wrath
I can't abbreviate
Letters begin to blur
This game never ends
I wait my turn
5. Triceratops
Three-horned
6. Choke On It
I have this knife and I've found the perfect fit
Between your ribs and right into your heart
Short of breath? A cold stinging pain?
Blood clotting up? Well, fucking choke on it!
This is the genocide of the worthless
An eradication of arrogant souls
This was never about friendship
Its about collecting your head
And nailing it to the wall
7. Mesozoic Lung Crusher
Sickly sleep-deprived deterioration
Bone marrow siphoned, organs harvested
Dawn of the reptile
Cold blood warmed by sun
Encased in jungle rot green
All smothering heavy and thick
Mesozoic era in three parts
Triassic Jurassic Cretaceous
Let them prey carcass feast
Ruled Pangea by tooth and claw
Till the sun turned to black
And unholy smoke collapsed their lungs
8. Walking With Prehistoric Beasts
