Eggshells 4 Fake 3

There is this feeling weighing heavy in the air
We've been choking on it's stagnancy for decades
It's time to sever ties and choose a better path
One with far less senseless entropy and a cleaner criminal track
We've held this trouble for a long now and it's growing old
I think we're better off if we desert you
These endless eggshells are tumultuous and all of this is
leading to one, big, pathetic breakdown
The hurricane is forming. Someone fetch a Dixie cup
It seems a fitting tool to hold an ocean
Maybe we put our problems off for far too long
Eventually they'll have to go away... right?
There is no hindsight. There's never been a lesson learned
Just the same old cycle: consume until the well dries
The gardens tended. I'm pulling weeds until my back is sore
The pain shooting up my spine and collecting in my head
The garbage piles up until it overflows
The apple falls from the tree, resenting the tree it's fallen from
These withered husks shattered by the touch
Your vampiric nature rearing its ugly head again
A resolution is never reached
Ultimatums never set
So when the room is vacant it's obvious what comes next
A short stint of dramatic highs, then a sudden valley
Then another valley followed by another one
And on and on it goes

I just woke up and it's dark
Thinkin' bout eatin' so I tweeted some freak
I'm seein' her screamin' in the backseat
Actually, I'm on the attack and it's nasty
If you're peekin' in the glass, peepin' in, it ends badly
You had me but now you're bleedin' out
Thinkin' how this ain't actually happening
But I turn into a bat, see?
Now I'm flyin' around, using echolocation, that's a regular bat thing
Now I gotta get home cause the sun comin' up and to me that's a bad thing

There's an over simplistic method of getting the results
You have to ask yourself now, "are you better off?"
Have you noticed your neighbor involved in the occult
Who you gonna call?
Who you gonna call and are they gonna come?
Are you screamin' at demons? Yelling at them to be gone
They mentioned where they were sent from, tell them they don't belong
When you spend all your effort convincing yourself that they're evil
Are you able to recall?
Are you able to recall that we all peoples?
It used to be easy or at the very least expected
Now we're looking in some questionable places for acceptance
We're all out of line, draw some more in the sand
Cause we all want to kill what we don't understand

Being Good People
04:22

It's a tale as old as time, it's really no mystery
Boy meets a girl, settled in the West but it's a little more grisly
Let's count how many people we can see die
Let's see how many people we can fit into this pie
Just keep counting and love one another
Everything is bound to get better
Picture perfect, two partners in crime
and you like to get scared together
Doing the work so we can keep our hands clean because that is the mission
It's hard when you are bombarded with emails about age restrictions
Gotta keep the content clean, it's imperative to how you're rated
But you wanna show the scene of the deadite getting bifurcated
The business is bodies and business is good
It started as an interest, a macabre curiosity
Combined with a penchant to dissect filmography
A yin and a yang, they're providing us blood and guts
Balanced by let's plays and Simpson reference supercuts
Never shutting out a voice, instead opening a dialogue
Of monsters and murderers, little shits and dino-sos
In a world full of horrors and unspeakable evils
It's nice to see people being good people
Branching out in branding, the beginning of a saga
They're big fans of bead time and love Devon Sawa
In order to thank you for all that you do
The Golden Chainsaw goes to you for
Doing the work so we can deal with the demons hiding under the stairs
It's art how you are directing and editing and warning us of jumpscares
Gotta grease up the gears and roll with the punches you're handed
Gotta go Final Girl, kill the machine that's holding you captive
The business is bodies

Trollin' Around

A sign on the ground
A secret code, yeah, it's on
You're coming into my world
and we're gonna have so much fun
Red, purple, blue, white
Tastes like medicine
You can use a scythe to cut the tension
Yeah, we're rollin' around, the fingers cracked and we're waiting
We're just trollin' around, hoping that we get invaded
Fight club, no chug, before they die they try to run
No chance, death is comin', wait, no, now we're outnumbered
Retreat, defeat, it's easier to retrieve
green things, reprieve, let's see what else we'll make bleed
Backstab, godsend, trouble in the swampland
Big crab, bad lag, now you're back where you began
Catalyst, shapeshift, lure them to their death then
Do it all again cause
You're my.... best friend
A sign of the time
Not that it matters cause time is foldin' in on itself
So I'm gonna turn into a tree and send you home
Red, purple, blue, white
Wherever you are from
We're definitely all gonna die
'Til then we're rollin' around, usin' i-frames and evading
Yeah, we're trollin' around, killing time 'til Elden Ring comes out

Why must I move?
Why must I do anything?
What do I have to prove?
I have awful muscle memory
What if I try fail?
What happens when I lose everything?
Because I know it's coming and I can try to prevent it
but it's going to happen anyway
And I keep thinking and thinking and thinking
and doing little else
And I keep building up this wall of this wall of my excuses
Yeah, any one'll help
I feel guilty in this garrison.
I really don't know what I'm supposed to tell myself
cause I'm not buying "all is well". Not anymore
This bastion I'm trapped in has no windows or doors
A milquetoast plot with no forethought
I took way too long tempering the sword
Now I'm left with apprehension. I don't have the tools I need
So many lessons left ignored
And I hope that I can scape by on what little I've acquired
And I will fill this place with dynamite, packed to the gills, then set it all on fire
All the time I've spent creating when really destroying everything is my real skill
With a world of endless options, am I exhibiting signs of my free will?
