Renegades
Been living like an outcast
In a prison cell working a nine to five
Fear stays king, hate is strong
I’m told to pay or hang
Separation is god now
Saints and devils dance together
Good people are shot down
Crushed in the womb
News tells me we won
Gas prices will start to decline
While war machines start production
Other countries laugh
While we flounder in education
To stupid to see we’re led to slaughter
Women remain at war
Under siege by an old enemy
The belief that they are just property...
In a prison cell working a nine to five
Fear stays king, hate is strong
I’m told to pay or hang
Separation is god now
Saints and devils dance together
Good people are shot down
Crushed in the womb
News tells me we won
Gas prices will start to decline
While war machines start production
Other countries laugh
While we flounder in education
To stupid to see we’re led to slaughter
Women remain at war
Under siege by an old enemy
The belief that they are just property...

Got No Say
Been forever now
Since a voice held a vote
Can’t recall when us became them
Well, you got no say
The colors dim
And streets get muddy
From shrapnel thrown around
Well, you got no say
Hate those ways
Deceptive and terrible too
Long gone is saying I told you so
Because it came true
You can’t run
There’s no hiding now
So rise up before they bury you
Fight the submission
Tax the wealthy
Rubber band their future
Let them crawl with no destination
Now, you...
Since a voice held a vote
Can’t recall when us became them
Well, you got no say
The colors dim
And streets get muddy
From shrapnel thrown around
Well, you got no say
Hate those ways
Deceptive and terrible too
Long gone is saying I told you so
Because it came true
You can’t run
There’s no hiding now
So rise up before they bury you
Fight the submission
Tax the wealthy
Rubber band their future
Let them crawl with no destination
Now, you...

Double Tongue
A premonition
Warnings from within
When entities promise change
Disguised brutality
The walls emerge
There goes accountability
Justice assassinated in the courts
Can’t trust your own
Even blood has no sympathy
Democracy twisted into intolerance
The guilty, the vindicated
Uneducated and willing to grovel
They kill those that oppose
All who rise against
The walls emerge
There goes accountability
Justice assassinate in the courts
Can’t trust your own
Even blood has no...
Warnings from within
When entities promise change
Disguised brutality
The walls emerge
There goes accountability
Justice assassinated in the courts
Can’t trust your own
Even blood has no sympathy
Democracy twisted into intolerance
The guilty, the vindicated
Uneducated and willing to grovel
They kill those that oppose
All who rise against
The walls emerge
There goes accountability
Justice assassinate in the courts
Can’t trust your own
Even blood has no...

The Pit
Tied up just below
You know I think you know
Lacerated those who came before
Silence the majority again
Leaves you breathless
The burden of knowing why
When machines dictate response
They tell you not to feel
I’ve seen it grow
I really thought we could
Be a little more then just a census
Numbers on a blank page
There is no pride
Only illusions to consider
Undone by greedy little people
As it’s always done
Who is the cause
Who tells you what to be
Who told you to share the wealth...
You know I think you know
Lacerated those who came before
Silence the majority again
Leaves you breathless
The burden of knowing why
When machines dictate response
They tell you not to feel
I’ve seen it grow
I really thought we could
Be a little more then just a census
Numbers on a blank page
There is no pride
Only illusions to consider
Undone by greedy little people
As it’s always done
Who is the cause
Who tells you what to be
Who told you to share the wealth...

I See You
No longer denied
The demons in your past
Self made, invited in, long known
Trespassers you despise
Cold like old lovers
Deserters that don’t belong
The tangle of decisions that remain
Despite the years between
You got the right to die
Reconcile what’s in your heart
Cause what was has no place to stay
Nothing left to say
But I recognize who you are
So much better then what you were
Wicked as it is
For those who share
Your sin has little to deprive
Strange and bereft
Gotta...

Blue Until Black
Boy grew up quick
In a home without warmth
Memories of a mother he never met
A gypsy lady long drowned
His father remained
Half alive from the Great War
So he turned to liquor to kill the ones
That haunted his bedroom
The mines gave life
But stole everything in return
So many coughing up what kills them
Black lung laughing along
The boy went without
His clothes hanging onto ribs
Blacked up from his father’s warning
The boot is love as they say
One day he said enough
Took a rod and...

The Spoils
Led to temptation
Born low in uncertain times
Where society chooses who lingers
And who gets forgotten
Men are no longer men
They assassinate and duplicate
Push down on all who differ
Rabid like starving rats
The women regress
Rather kill then grow together
They become ever quick to assimilate
Change don’t come in hate
Slander rules the realm
And so goes human decency
Traded in for fortune and validation
Empty like we the people
Who recalls your name
Who helps you when your down ...
Born low in uncertain times

Five Points Of The Red Star
Holy site sits in rust
Long lost to biblical periphery
Barbaric rituals recycled
God has no claim
Freedom fighters
Radicalized in bloodshed
Kill the scripture through absolute
You wear it well
Misogynistic berserkers
Oath breakers, throne collectors
Falling upward
Shrapnel of Nazarene
Punctured in the sacrament
Faith, wear it down
Dine on the guts
Cattle that was your own
A slaughter orchestrated tenfold
Your war is error
Your eyes no longer see
Both sides stumble...
Long lost to biblical periphery
Barbaric rituals recycled
God has no claim
Freedom fighters
Radicalized in bloodshed
Kill the scripture through absolute
You wear it well
Misogynistic berserkers
Oath breakers, throne collectors
Falling upward
Shrapnel of Nazarene
Punctured in the sacrament
Faith, wear it down
Dine on the guts
Cattle that was your own
A slaughter orchestrated tenfold
Your war is error
Your eyes no longer see
Both sides stumble...

Murder In The Black
Sideway glance
Trigger pulled, glass cut
Suspicion blew up like his insides
Cascading on the floor
Bullet caked in truth
Rolling along like a death throe
Buried in cooling airways
The man laid still
Zipping up his lips
Maybe crooked underneath
Maybe he only had good intentions
But what’s done is done
The shadow retreats
Mixing up with the spectators
Horror of a killing with repercussions
Stories further convolute
River runs black
Colored by irritated skies
The moon crawls only...
Trigger pulled, glass cut
Suspicion blew up like his insides
Cascading on the floor
Bullet caked in truth
Rolling along like a death throe
Buried in cooling airways
The man laid still
Zipping up his lips
Maybe crooked underneath
Maybe he only had good intentions
But what’s done is done
The shadow retreats
Mixing up with the spectators
Horror of a killing with repercussions
Stories further convolute
River runs black
Colored by irritated skies
The moon crawls only...

Your Not Here
My mother inherited you
After your own passed in the night
A ball of fluff and always mad
You played with her hair
Nothing fazed you
Everything was a curiosity
The world had no evil to speak of
It was just you and her
The years just go
And your health does too
My mother swears your still here
But I don’t know
Her heart’s ripped in two
She can’t move on if your not here
When the rain turned
When her day got a little worse
When nothing made it right
You were there for her
Paw...
After your own passed in the night
A ball of fluff and always mad
You played with her hair
Nothing fazed you
Everything was a curiosity
The world had no evil to speak of
It was just you and her
The years just go
And your health does too
My mother swears your still here
But I don’t know
Her heart’s ripped in two
She can’t move on if your not here
When the rain turned
When her day got a little worse
When nothing made it right

Spirals In A Low Light
Misery, butcher hooks
A black and white premonition
Salivating in the actresses
Third act treachery
I see you among them
The actors that played the part
Transformed in intermission
Threading the thread
Don’t know where
Don’t know how it began
But the resentment has the reins
It’s in the dead
Conversations unsaid
That familiar sting you brought
Venom that sticks in me
Tangled up in this
Outlasting a two front war
Life’s design and your Holocaust
Burning up all I have
...
A black and white premonition

Transformed in intermission
Threading the thread

Don’t know how it began
But the resentment has the reins

The Vindicated
Word of mouth
Dyed in past deception
World’s flushed and dramatic
Tight is the torment
Feeling erratic
Ecstatic in the fallout
What’s done can’t be undone
Psychotic birthright
Anarchist by trade
Natural law has no claim
It’s a lie
Misery resides
We poisoned the well
Segregation
Justice is fed upon
Expendable by first breath
Skies turn hotter
And the blood gets thicker
Leeching through and demonic too
Volcanic by inheritance
Protest your...
