Endlesswar 03:44
Look, see the sky turn to red then the cloud's sudden draw The air of tempestuous anger encompasses all The battlefields, beautiful, boundless. The soon to be dead All lift up their weapons and purge themselves of their dread Look, see the whites of their eyes. See the fear turn to rage The sweat on the brow, the prowess, potential and hate The deafening scream and then everything else is a haze The clanging of steel against steel, a murderous maze You struggle and slaughter. You twist, duck and turn and you dodge The bastards have barricades, machine guns and espionage While clawing your way through their armies the fear sets back in You're still just a singular solider in a war that won't end You think war never changes? You're wrong It's always evolving. That's why it's never been solved We're killing each other, but why? What ideals are worthy for someone to die? Tell me, what in the world fucking gives you the right? I will die on this hill I will not pick a side I will never be anything I swear on my life

Piranha 04:27
There's this code, there's this formula that I've devised that essentially chooses who lives and who dies but I've finally realized that's not my choice to decide Though it's taken extremes to show me my mistakes I've witnessed first hand what my karma creates a ravenous fish with a cannibalistic taste First I tried to resist now I'm just pushing on Shackles bound to my wrist set to blow should I run The only family I know is being threatened but the promise to see them gets me to the end I've collected my colleagues and cut them in half Never mind all their terminal, criminal pasts All these flashbacks perhaps it's exactly what I asked Times almost up I've acquired the keys I've beaten the game and now I am free but there's one more choice and it's not up to me Please, I've been through so much I've seen the errors of my ways I know I've done wrong. Don't you see I can change? Let me go and I swear I won't kill anybody, won't kill anybody I'll never do it again. So now I'm melting like an egg in vinegar That's what I get for playing God What are the chances that I'd even be standing here You predetermined all the odds As I disintegrate a thought occurs to me I'm not as sturdy as a chain I'm spitting blood as we eye contact and then I spiral down the drain A lesson learned, I guess a moral must be somewhere The dead will have the final say I regret ever having come up with this stupid code which led me to my last mistake

Beautiful man, terrible mind Lays stony hands on the milk, touches Christ Lopped them off for a chance Was it worth it? Beautiful man, selfish to the core Seed spread haphazardly, offspring run rampant Leaving straw, sticks and stones in their wake You have to choose to abuse it You either use it or lose it You're God's gift and that proves it Beautiful man, with your worth and your wile Won't you fluster and bewilder us with all of that style You got your big black boots and your fresh grey coat You're so sharp, if we get close then you'll cut our throats Beware your reflection during introspection Because it may reach out to choke you to death Better work on your dead smile, top of the shit pile Hop in your car and crank 89X You're an ass, you're assertive, the new rock alternative Laugh if you want. You're still collecting checks You shoot first and ask after. A good/bad actor Never look in the rearview yet somehow still get in a wreck Here's a mirror for the self-loathing narcissist Who points right back at you with fingers like guns Never admits he's wrong, just keeps humming along Though you try to deny it, you know it's your favorite song Beautiful man, why must you tease? It's impossible to get further down on our knees You have us right where you want us. The modern Adonis As much as we'd like to, there's no way to please such a Beautiful man, but can he dance? In the midst of the moment he takes that chance Feel the heat coming off of him. Feel the intense Overwhelming, you're melting right out of your pants He's a beautiful man Beautiful man, generous bulge Pockets so fat, full of pure golden hand grenades Get the gang going to blow up a wedding He dresses to threaten. The prince of perfection Beautiful man, you just can't get enough You're so soft to the touch but you're still so rough You can't help to control it, you love that rush You're so ugly inside but they still want to fuck such a beautiful man

Fatboy 03:02
If I could only grind your bones into my bread Could you imagine all the flavor you could lend? Such a rare and fetching scent I had a dream that I was swimming in the soup My fat had rendered off my body Very soon, I would be ready to consume I'll gladly give my pound of flesh with no regret I'll keep on cutting till there's barely any left A good host makes sure that all his guests are fed There hasn't been a better time, I'm nicely brined Yeah, I'm simply succulent. Take a bite I wanna see the grease come dripping down your face You're letting all your inhibitions hold you back Chew the gristle and the fat That's where all the flavors at I laid the trap but I never expected you to take the bait It takes a lot to make a stew, I thought you knew I am your food No matter what you do, you twist and turn I will end up inside you If only you could see what special things I have in store for you It's just a little sting then ecstasy is right around the corner Now you're eating me, I'm eating you, we are simpatico Both of us are fat and happy. Soon we'll both be dead and so we dine Until we die

No Nonsense 04:31
We all start with humble beginnings We must rely on our grip and our cunning Using bones for our tools Growing tubers for food And no nonsense No We collect and build chests for our collections We erect monuments of our reflections Such frivolous endeavors but we do them for tokens Hoarding ruins, catalysts and tarot cards Useless glyphs to insist on how smart you are What does all of this mean? What am I supposed to do with all of these things? I hold on to their meaning in memory The experiences had, wouldn't trade it for anything I'll return it in spades There's no coming back for what's left in this grave No nonsense No

How long has it been? Maybe 5 years, maybe scores It's hard to keep track of anymore Is there any news? Any prospects? Any wars? It's hard to explain why we're even here anymore How much have you lost? All your children? All your hair? Call your god to see if he's even there Is there any point? All this upkeep all forlorn It's hard to keep track of anything anymore Save your silence. It's falling on deaf ears You'll be lucky if you're even around next year Sell your sorrows. They'll only drag you down Bury your burdens and cash in on your crown How long has it been? A whole lifetime? Just a day? Will somebody tell us that it will all be okay
7.
I never thought I'd see such a vision Such enchanting conviction in the span of my days I can't believe I've found such meaning Can't describe this feeling Can't give it a name I fear being incomplete The spirit will comfort me I surrender, blind and senseless, numb and speechless Oh God, I need this love Need this love I surrender unto you completely

Gay Juggalos 08:00
Laying in fields looking upwards, dreaming of time machines Muttering madness in monotone A castaway freak on an island of ghosts who can see him but he can't see them A lunatic left on his own can recall on a dime But can never move forward. He's a prisoner of time Get sick and throw-up colored paint in the dirt Lose your mind, be a cannibal, forget how they work The girls go to college to learn about knowledge The boys stay at home getting so stoned When all this is over we'll find out who's better Making a miracle meaningless, being so obvious Throwing full bottles of soda pop Commit a hate crime to get into the paper You idiot. All of the news is on the internet Throw all your hopes in the gutter. This is forever Get used to the way people treat you What do you know about terrible? This is unbearable How long before they can see through the smoke The temperatures rising and we're left devising Machines we can build so we can keep still But mostly we're scared someone will see us naked Soon the day comes and we are one Family of freaks beneath the same sun Through all of the chaos, the burdens that made us What we are today. We will find a way To make everyone equal and love one another
