Fucked for Life
Believe nothing, not even your own voice Collapse relapse, swear I had a choice Searing visions of future cremation Can you come to terms with immolation? Shut up You're wrong Panic beyond any soon return Fear fuels this napalm gait Shattered glass assimilates Itself into every breath I take Time will pull you in like a whirlpool and spit you back out without a second thought You deserve redemption But you can never take it

We'll be hung from the same trees we once tended to These ailing words can't save you now Lifeless, fightless, so estranged When the dust stares you down Can you still claim the answer is to rearrange? When night falls We take back our lives With daggers drawn The spirit still survives

Bastard generation knows no new words for change Can you tell your kin they’ll grow old with a straight face Born as an afterthought Maybe whatever comes next can look up at the stars and live beyond dreams Your blood salts soil Never an if but when Perish in the wet hot heat No way out but through Revolution’s cleansing storm in eternal prelude For now the roses still bloom For now we prepare for the chance to begin anew

The first thing the doctor told me when I sprang back to life was "Kid it woulda been cheaper to kill yourself. Get it done right or get a fuckin job." Cruel fate? Irony? All I know is that I'm losing too much blood Confrontations with the abyss He told me about the bombs going off when he was a child A miracle he still lives But where could someone who never had a home in the first place go And the drugs don't seem to do shit She told me how he kept touching me and touching and fucking me Every ounce of self no longer your own “And I wasn't the only one” But my buddy could never…. (apologists are scum too) You want some realism? It'll be at your door if it isn't already I'm so sick of counting the days with a loaded firearm You deserve so much more

Please help me skin myself alive A mockery; “look at all that's been given” Or “Why does it have to be so confusing?” Give me a fucking break This isn't an escape, it's a monument to liars Shelter your false, arrogant constructs Joy in the destruction of all you claim is civilized Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes Love beyond desires in ways most devastating (Last line is a quote I messed up from “Towards the Queerest Insurrection” by the Mary Nardini Gang)

I've got voices sipping on their own froth in backrooms I didn't know could exist There was never anything there for us, but how were we supposed to know? How's anyone? No one's listening Cycles that erase and bind you to the tomb I won't make the same mistakes that return to the womb Taught affection is a means to the end It'll happen again and again Cycles that erase and bind you to the tomb I won't make the same mistakes that return to the womb
