To a nightmare he woke from his lair in the woods
An army of orcs and their crushing machines
He began working spells but his magic was weak
14 moons on the streets left him frail in physique and half dead
Adrenaline stirring
The beast that's inside of us all
They cry out for mercy
He knows he must heed to their call
He limped to the shadows to gather his forces
The frost on the leaves lifting, swirling in circles
Nearby in the clearing the thrashing of mortals
they hope for a hero to scare off the jackals of war
Thunder and lightning
His rags light with glittering stars
Clashing of night sticks
With luck they will lean on their swords
the innocent parties were able to flee
while the violent attackers were hurled and heaved
Orcs lay in a heap 'til they all turned to stone
may they someday be used as a wanderers' throne in the park
There lies a lesson
To leave those who suffer alone
There might be a wizard
To stand up for those without homes

I live on the wrong side of the sematary
Not to be confused with the wrong side of the tracks
They keep burying the living, and the dead keep coming back.
Why don’t you just fucking die?
Home sweet home I wish you’d go rot
Leader of this country doesn’t have shit for thought
The night is so quiet
The air is so still
Till the hands reach out and draw so very near
I can’t feel my face
I can’t fucking breathe

On the horizon, just out of reach
Disintegrating as we get closer
Back at the bottom, look to the sky
We can only dream about a way out
Free from crushing doldrums
Food and housing insecurities
School and medical debt we can't pay
Some need shelter, some need death
Some need validation for existing
Reaching together, a sea of hands
It floats over grazing fingers
Salt, oil, water, blood and gold
Fame and fortune, love and forgiveness
Not just wants but basic needs
Enough for all but here come the tyrants
Unobtainium
Would you kill for a taste of some?
What if we all get what we need?
On the horizon, just out of reach
Disintegrating as we get closer
Back at the bottom, look to the sky
We can only dream about a way out
Breaking rocks and digging holes
Stuck in place like glue in the engine
This could be our ticket out
This could be the answer to our problems
Unobtainium
Would you kill for a taste of some?
What if we all get what we need?

So you prey just to get thru
Push past the lies
swear they're all true
Can't believe it
but it's 2 + 2
He knows better than that
knows the speech front to back
He knows better than that
Knows the speech and that's a fact
Not just today but tomorrow too
Looking for the signs
Listens to line after line
So you've been shook
But still on the hook
He knows better than that
Knows the speech front to back
He knows better than that
Knows the speech and that's a fact
Looking for the signs
Listens to line after line
Push past the lies
Swear they're all true
He knows better than that
Knows the speech front to back
He knows better than that
knows the speech and that's a fact

You feign sadness
You can’t be for real
I’m not fucking sad
Now that I can feel
Don’t ask about my sadness
There’s none to be had
I need you to know
Broken out of this gaslighting fog and I don’t feel fucking bad
Claim to the world I’m a feminist
I need to tell everyone
Scream to the world social justice
Scream to the world kill everyone
Scream to the world pity me
Scream to the world I wanna fucking die

It never fails to affect me
I think you're all out to get me
I keep a pocket full of milksteak
It only ever brings me heartache
Can't think of nothin' no more
I can't remember what thoughts are for
At least I don't gotta play dumb anymore
It never fails to amuse me
So many ways that you can use me
I can't control my sensitivity
I think i stole my own identity
Can't think of nothin' no more
I can't remember what thoughts are for
At least I don't gotta play dumb anymore
I'm gonna cross me off my friends list
And then I'll drink myself senseless
Wake up and where'd the world go?
I can't remember what I didn't know
Can't think of nothin' no more
I can't remember what thoughts are for
At least I don't gotta play dumb anymore

This ain’t no summer of love
More like the summer of shit
It just keeps dragging on
And I’m sure as fuck losing it
I wandered into my favorite movie
Now I can’t get out
I just want to hug my friends
So how do I get out?
Now the world is on fire
I can’t go outside
The air I’m breathing is suffocating me
Or this virus attacking me
Or this smoke inside my lungs
Or spontaneous combustion

CEO of employee piss jars
In a pandemic, he says no to a $1 raise
They don't like you, and I don't like you either
I see your face and I want to start a class war
Somehow you feel justified
No matter how hard they try
Somehow you feel justified
I hope your jet falls from the sky

Walking down the street I saw a very sharp knife.
What kind of knife exactly, well there are many types.
Boot knifes, blade knifes, machetes, butter knifes.
Knifes, you’re gonna get cut. We’re gonna cut you up.
Knifes.
