Normal? Run-of-the-mill? Compos-fucking-mentis Wholesome to a fault Flawless? Picture-perfect? Lose the quirks - escape a life-sentence From disfigurements be spared Errors in the signals (off gender) Errors in the signals (down-and-outer) Beside yourself By the very shadow you cast Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love Called "respect" Errors in the signals (no aberrations) Errors in the signals (moral fail-safes) Couldn't flee much quicker From the adolescent (in you) Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love Called "respect" Errors in the signals

Crack a wry smile For the gravest of fortunes You illuminate the room Here - a toast with urine To empathy Too far removed To indulge or divulge Extend my hand And your flash crawls Touched by asinine mongrels You're rife with everyday pox Suspect foreign bodies encroaching On your space - they obstruct You detest, you obstruct, they detest Unwashed interferers multiplying Out of range - they obstruct You detest, you obstruct, they detest Steady diet of hearsay Rumour, primed to up the fervour Just rife with everyday pox Ramming home prejudgments into Every smirking face - air drainer Trespasser Everyday Pox

Sweeping the void like sin Treachery penetrates my skin Serpent shapes in the depths Obsolete acts of kindness The wolf, the wolf I feed, in cloaks of decency The wolf, the wolves I feed Invoke the blessings of peace Supply lines of the swarm ensuring Danger and harm As the first wave diminishes Depleted stronghold vanishing The wolf, the wolf I feed, in cloaks of decency The wolf, the wolves I feed Provoke war waged capacities The wolf I feed to ward off wildfires Blind alleys lead Violating cease-fire Domain of the parish That march in Eden Corridors of sadness Embrace the madness Truths transcended time beyond The stones of destiny Celestial landmines Of sacred geometry The wolf I feed to ward off wildfires Blind alleys freed Violating cease-fire Domain of the parish That march in Eden Corridors of sadness Embrace the madness A wake up call Traverse the wilderness Death by design with Cosmic significance Immobilized in its path Bearing the bulk of the burden Authoritarian trails between The colony and queen The wolf, the wolf I feed Outweighed, policed and rationed The wolf, the wolves I feed Our liberties seized and blackened

Quarantine isn't all it might seem Drifting so, isn't this just a cinch? Unhindered - always the option To flee? Shielded through happenstance And cultural decree Confined as they are Let us thrive in relativity Libertine Snipe at will, digging deep Malcontent By approval you can be Take a hammer to (stifling) Traditions - don't tread carefully Yes, we presume with no exceptions - freedom is for free Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Surge with the mainstream Temper your ire further afield Surge with the mainstream Tune out skulking shadows Within the democratic Autocratic, theocratic And sleepwalk through every Damned systemic derivative Through every curtailed Human prerogative Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined

Dubious and murky What aligns all parties Strike swifter, stealthier, nearer Untraced conscience cleaner But we're armed With an ethic So to speak 'Defence' and 'Ordnance' As commodities Satiate like food and drink Prostrate in it In it to win it But we're armed With an ethic So to speak Fall on their swords Pragmatic in dissent To curb the arms you circulated Blacklists and shortlists Alternate them on grace and favour At Barrel's end There are no conventions We fall on their swords Die, die, die, die ,die

Our lives seem set On a collision course A history we cannot change Or will not change The years and happiness Mean everything and nothing If we cannot fit the final piece Into the puzzle We have to strive to push The boundaries further We have to strive to push The boundaries further Or all our lives are set On a collision course The stress is mounting We fail to breathe What was important now Seems pointless Perhaps it's time To flip our world upside down Embrace our lives For all that they are worth We have to broaden Horizons of understanding We have to broaden Horizons of understanding Or all our lives are set On a collision course Death will take us all in the end Prepare for bitterness But live it'til the end This world i can gladly leave behind Profoundly naive Scrambling, lost within Searching for self-gratification Anointing obsession Disarming purity Fracturing with poetic tragedy Death will take us all in the end Prepare for bitterness But live it'til the end

Efficiency action For unprecedented tragedy Befallen calamities In the light of what's happening By orders of magnitude Polluting our altitude Thus we drift towards Unprecedented catastrophes The coalition of the willing - diabolical energy By orders of magnitude - contaminates latitude Orders of approximation For geometric means Generating smoke screens For our transmuted genes Pressures mount On seismic encounters Omitting man-made elements Immediate danger to all life forms Offering a chorus of soothing denial Power of the essence A strange psychology An era of scarce resources And casualty strategies The calamity has befallen Despite heroic efforts It's growing increasingly grave Instability continues to reign Eco-shock - fills our seas Bone disease Eco-shock - filling our skies Followed with lies Singular cancers Absolute disasters Ironic tragedy Dark aspects of chemistry Eco-shock - fills our seas Eco-shock - Bone disease Eco-shock - filling our skies Eco-shock - Followed with lies Contaminate the cradle of civilisation E = mc2 Divisions of atomic casualties And bent fuel industries As horrific situations unfold It's a nuclear future ten fold

Blank look about face Blank look about face Blank look about face Confidante Here goes a breach Of a piss-weak pact Upright, On-point Staunch subordinate Blank look, about-face Sycophant Trade Plaudits neat And matter-of-fact Flatter in a charismatic haze Blank look, about-face Elective confidante Adopted sycophant Poised to sweep the cynics away Blank look, about face Clear the ground! Clear the ground for a drunken power melee The mob is phased Clear the ground for a weakening Sting in the tail The mob drinks in praise The mob's wit wanes The mob deflates The mob's displaced The mob's contained

Depravity, feral traits - line drawn in the dirt Dense unconscious streams It seems - line drawn in the dirt Our inconsistencies In singling out the human Line drawn in the dirt x 3 Smack us senseless through a lens - least for the lesser Burden's fit for scabrous waifs - least for the lesser Let the unsophisticated go unheard Least for the lesser x 3 Line drawn in the dirt Least for the lesser Sweep back to the recesses Of furthest thought Recoil and blank out the atrocities Meted out Disembodied, disenfranchised - introverted understatements Relax in the sheltered neutrality Of furthest thought As observers we trivialize the cruelty meted out Line drawn in the dirt

An Alias, it's how i'm known A sideshow to a great unknown My best side is the furthest from...me! A nobody In all my exertions Eking out an era Undermined, underling I'm Sub-standard without a name A somebody I'm since endowed Clambering across the feeble Unrivalled, unequalled Peerless standards Around my name Undermined, underling Kept behind so you would Thirst for prestige Unrivalled, unequalled Selected, refined - stand and applaud

Blank canvas laid invitingly As if by the (common) Contrived proxy Developing: the giant misnomer Enhance land and then strip Accelerant on, stragglers wiped off Opposites repellent It bottomed out Scavenge deeper Featureless stumps - what reparation! Modernizing: the giant misnomer Homogenize and strip again Accelerant on, skeptics wiped off Opposites repellent Opposites repellent Right after the enticement That they are integral That they'll prevail at the forefront That they're yielding for The windfall that never, ever falls Instead they are ineffectual Instead they fold to the omnipotent Instead they forfeit for the windfall That never, ever falls their way Accelerant on, stragglers wiped off Accelerant on, skeptics wiped off Accelerant on, reproach wiped off Opposites repellent

Vain, shame-faced Can't reveal the very core Duress will not Permit a naked ambition Cursed naked proposition Dry retch - verged on Self-flagellation Apoplectic - nail you shut From prying eyes Ecstasy could not involve A naked ambition Squalid naked proposition Soured - floored by such indignation The schism is not anatomical Nor is it residual It's a societal ghetto It's a societal black hole Surrendered Priceless liberties expelled Swift wrath upon the inward Explorer Hold your gag reflex Your gag reflex Contradiction Oh, promiscuous and proud While you're prudishly on guard Gender is a willfully caged beast Set free, it decimates The phobic concrete Gender is a caged beast
