Technocracy

This ecological atrocity finally
Caves in on itself...perhaps it's
All for the better
Lock your doors and say goodnight
As toxins leach out of sight
We're living in the new age
Of electronic security
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending some laws
Living in fear making something
Of yourself is making fifty grand
A year
The technology that spawned
Our every convenience
Creating more and more poison
Pledge of toxic allegience
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending laws
All American clones
On and on their sermon drones
Rabbit at your career
It goes on all around you
Part of this insanity
Working for the technocracy
Technocracy probable cause
Technocracy bending some laws
There are limits to
Growth on this planet but 
There is no limit to your
Green or potential to
Exploit...the end of 
Suffering or just an
Eternal scream

Hungry Child "Looking for answers?" laughed the hungry child "Pushing your answers leave none desired." The hungry child worships Spreading their cancer into unscarred brains Damaged and unoccupied, ready to train The hungry child worships Powerfully twisting words he's resisting god he's resisting Powerfully screaming "What is life's meaning? "We have life's meaning" The hungry child...worships NO MORE! INDEX

Happily Ever After How did I come to become How did we come to become this way When we were inseparable Formula of rituals I have lived Lost time-resentment I can't forgive when we were inseparable Made a commitment to resentment You will never forget it Side by side oblivous protected Someone to hide behind Situation of security Foundation of stability Happily ever after I won't but that shit Happily ever after Sacrifice my freedom My precious time For money and security For my senile state of time Look in the future Save all my money While life slips away Slip away unchallenged Happily ever after Stagnating ill choking on A bitter pill something went Wrong this is not how I am Supposed to feel there must Be something seriously wrong With me I've gone out and Done all the things that were supposed to bring me Harmony still not Satisfied someone must Have lied about this Formula formula of Rituals I have lived So busy so involved inyour lie That I forgot to even try Only alive to do what's Prescribed? Living a sacrifice? INDEX

Crawling Behind the bars, can't feel the scars Scars that won't heal wasted potential Potential vaporization Incineration of doubt burn away Sadness tears evaporate Forget the forgotten consumed By those who brought them Reality comes crawling crawling Reality crawling The wound has healed but no healed right It's time to open up to the air of the night Condescending eyes haunting crawling In my mind haunting haunting my life Lying to yourself to dull the pain Long uried feelings infect you agian The time has come to exorcise Disinfect the lies bad spirits arise, arise Symbolic dreams fo broken chain Faith-reassurance was your crutch cane So many things never realized Stand up to your now before your eyes In a ceremoney set up in your head You reckon with forsaken dead On a judgment hill beneath the moon You realized you spoke too soon Crawlin crawling reality crawling The time has come to exorcise Disinfect the lies bad spirits arise What direction wlecomes you? Which inviting path do you choose Crawling crawling reality Crawling... INDEX
