Make me live with no care Just my demise and your despair I'm ticking down till I can feel you You thought I'd come back just to heal you Wanna make you fall in love with me again So I can break your heart like you did then Wanna make you fall in love with me again Again Not enough to say my name Need you to let me stake my claim Give me back the time I've lost I'll take it back at any cost Wanna make you fall in love just one more time So I can break your heart like you did mine Wanna make you love with me again So I can break your heart like you did then Tear you to shreds (But that's what you get) Don't talk to me (Think about your safety) Can't fix us now (So I'll bring you down) Betray my trust (And I'll self-destruct)

I always took route 1 Tackling the devil's slide by myself Noting the treacherous drop-off on my right side It's wet And the tires could slip With a moment's notice And I'm holding tight to the person I think you are And somewhere from afar That person holds me back It's like a tunnel The way you wrap me tight And I'm a lone subcompact Guided by your light It's like a magnet Compels me to your side But I'm ever distant So here I shall reside In your claustrophobic narrow vision Just let me reach the other side I can hear those other voices out there But I'm still stuck inside The ground shifts and I'm in free fall It's like a rug is tugged from under me Somewhere along the line of faults The two halves slowly smother me And the earth greets the sea Taking me in with it I can't see the shore calling me in Only your distant face Collapsing tunnel A sheer cliffside But I'm reminded Of how you stole my time But if I'm careless The sea will swallow me Everything is cracking But I'm too blind to see In my fucking selfish narrow vision Just let me make you mine I'll break myself before I let you out of my sight Think I need a brand new set of eyes

Reciprocal 04:19
Almost gave it all But I realized too late Could've asked for more Wanted you to reciprocate Hold me as close as I can take So I know just where I break I know the truth now, I don't mind Your empty heart is the reciprocal of mine I am not On your mind Let me know When it's time I'll be back To receive Anything You give to me Call me entitled and alone When you can't be bothered on the phone I'm not as clueless as you believe You'll always be the reciprocal of me And my feelings

Neural networks notwithstanding But instead placated, satiated and ingratiated In a causal field of nothing A synthesis of cerebral miasma But devoid of anything resembling a theory of soul The recall process being usurped by the utilitarian toolbox Of latter day fainting at the sight of organic matter The dominion of decelerated decay And depreciating dollar signs by the hour When all hell is broken open like a bottle That's carbonized to the brim And sold at bargain prices downtown Worth less than nothing Worth only the raw hazmat required To erect such a simulacrum In its plastic and neoprene-natal sanctity The argon tubes fuel the physiological rat race to the bottom Day in and day output optimization We awake to fake sunlight and sleep At the bark of the attack teleprompters Pushed to do our damned best Even if it kills us Labor is free Death drives a high toll if it's not Insured for each arm and leg worth of clean-up Autopiloted shipwrecks litter the decks Of the ever-onward and encroaching superhighways Rivaled in velocity only by way of the High cost city fiber optic rhinoplasty That drips its viscosity into every suburban orifice For a discounted fee plus tax Throw in a subscription to sin-eplex If you've already condemned your in-eternal sole That's been dragged through every puddle On the concrete commute To the meatpacking job of your dreams Whose only job it is to swallow you whole And grind you to bits Until the watchdogs lick the bones dry The phones fried a few decades ago Sent to the sun's surface with the rest of the Garbage heaps that for centuries littered the streets And helped us sleep at night Before we caffeinated that away too Finding a job is easy Getting out is the hard part now We bled so much we felt nothing at the prodding hands Of our lord and savior technocratic autopsy Time of death now Cause of death how The white coats selectively bred out the white collar folks Long before they fitted our throats for surveillance remotes Food and water obsolete Save a tree, eat beef This is the future we hoped for Welcome the information age on all fours This is the future we hoped for Surplus at every store Riots at your front door Welcome the information age on all fours This is the future we hoped for Bodies dropping to the floor Antiseptic indoors Toxic in the forests Welcome to the information age Artificial whores Ethnocratic wars Surveillance from every pore And egotistical leaders behind closed doors This is the future we hoped for Welcome to the information age Take it on all fours This is the information age This is the information age This is the information age Take it on all fours The choice is yours
