Repression is
a constant
happening to us
to those
that cant remember
yesterday can bring
what tomorrow cannot bring today
Clarity
we can't remember yesterday
can we see future danger
unknown bring what tomorrow can.
bring to us what You cannot bring today.
Clap to the skies' sincerity
Repression is
a never-ending quick escape
a blurring of caution
softening to us,
to those that feel
"irrationally" unsafe,
Reality.
we can't remember yesterday
can we see future danger
unknown bring what tomorrow can.
bring to us what You cannot bring today.
Clap to the skies' sincerity.
To those that can't remember.
Yesterday can bring
What tomorrow cannot bring today,
Clarity.

Every moment that I think
Of what I am
I get lost, in flesh, in blood,
Spirit with no gender
A prison, a maze, a place to escape
A vessel that won't fit my shape
When I look in the mirror I swear
There is nothing I have seen before
Gasping, Grasping for life,
To understand the function of flesh in front of me.
Titles try to contain
What we're meant to maintain
Our functions are more
Than the symbols can hold
A vessel that won't fit our mold
When I look in, to the mirror I swear
There is nothing I have seen before
Gasping, Grasping for life,
To understand the function of flesh in front of me.
Is that all we contain,
The flesh in front of us
When I look in, to the mirror I swear
There is nothing I have seen before
Gasping, Grasping for life,
To understand the function of flesh in front of me.
The function of flesh
in front of us
is that all
that we contain.

I want to jump off a building with my arms fully wide
So mother nature can feel how badly I want her to hold me
Will she know how much I love her
Before everything is consumed by numbers
Compressed to bits and pieces
Data holds what we believe
The line of what's divine, blurred
Is it life or our machines
Will she know we loved her
Before everything is consumed by numbers
Replacing the natural with "human nature"
Taking observations to facetious ends
Hyperbole directed in action
Til we find ourselves in people we condemn
I want to jump off a building with my arms fully wide
So mother nature can feel how badly I want her to hold me

Capitalienation

We sit here,
Questioning our time.
What is our purpose beyond survival
How afraid are we that we lay in defeat
Can we blame everything trying to stand on our feet
We sit here questioning our time,
What is our purpose beyond survival
What is productive without monetary gain?
Disillusioned by reality
Depersonalized by dead names.
How afraid are we that we lay in defeat
Can we blame everything trying to stand on our feet
What is productive without monetary gain disillusioned by reality
Depersonalized by dead name
Production identifier of the identity
What is it that You see in me
Is what our hands can bring to life full fulfillment
if it leaves us feeling empty
The structures of our person stretch
Beyond what we're defined as
By a system that never paid attention
It's too cheap.

Collecting the masses
No gets passes
Trying to stay out of our own way
Places of shelter
Tattered in weather
We all saw coming and stayed out of the way
Forlorn,
Scorned,
We're torn,
Lost and Worn
The darkness seeps into the unimagined
Human mess
No empathy
No understanding
Stripping others of humanity
Self-absorbed, Unaware
Worse, they're hurting without care.
Repent
Repent
Repent
The soiled minds of the wicked
Every step that You take is a new mistake
When fear is the only thing leading the way
Every step You take is a new mistake
When fear is the only thing leading the way
You take all faith, all spirit, and humanity.
Collecting the masses
No gets passes
Trying to stay out of our own way
Places of shelter
Tattered in weather
We all saw coming and stayed out of the way
Repent
Repent
Repent
The soiled minds of the wicked

I sometimes look in the mirror
and pretend that my penis
means that I'm a man,
A man.
I
Am
Above
All Else
I am the alpha male
Only I shall prevail
I am the alpha male
Only I shall prevail
I sometimes look in the mirror and pretend that my penis means that I'm a man,
A man,
I
Am
Above
All Else
I am the Alpha Male
Only I shall prevail
I am the Alpha Male
Only
I
Shall prevail
I sometimes
look in the mirror
and pretend that my penis
means that I'm a man
A man
I
Am
Above
All Else
I am the Alpha Male
Only I shall prevail
I am the Alpha Male
Only
I
Shall prevail
I Am A
Man
A Man
A Man
A Man
A Man

Lie with the dogs
You're bound to get fleas
Who is in the
Company we keep
They keep to themselves, complacent, aware of misbehavior
With friends like these
Who needs safe space from misogyny
Who needs safe space
From the patriarchy.
There is no time
To stand on the sidelines
Are we scare or unaware
Of damage done or what's to come
Leaving healing a back burner daydream
Backburner daydream
We are entering a truth
Breaking cycles of abuse
We can be empathy embodied
Fuck all bystanders
Healing takes time
Away from the sidelines
Healing demands
Growth from within
Fuck all bystanders
Vulnerable in self-reflection
Questioning our motives
Feeling intention coming to fruition
Shifting away from
Programmed thoughts
Of yesterday,
An act of self-accountability
Breaking cycles of thought
Passed down from
Generations of violence,
Taught
We are entering a truth,
Breaking cycles of abuse.
