sink your teeth into the lies
to your trusting heart belie
“it’s not a world for those who care”
it’s not enough to sit and stare
your selfishness, to me it seems
your unified world exists in dreams
for how long does the change come round in play
when the Universal Voice, we so betray
an insect’s life is obsolete
except for when he offers treat
their livelihoods are ripped away
and they are slaughtered in the forray
and all for what? no need is met
except our souls we so do threat
mum knows best, and honey cures
but fuck their murderous grandeurs
when I watch him float, a life i see
worthy of our seldom-present mercy
you feed upon and feed upon… putrid mess
you feed upon and feed upon… pointless death
you feed upon and feed upon… murdered flesh
you feed upon and feed upon… stolen breath
a sacrifice of my convenience
to save a life, causes me no grievance
no brother of mine, no sister, slain
for senseless greed and monetary gain
i’ve made my choice, i give my voice
with my mute kin i shall rejoice
for only then can they see
that death does not taste good to me
flesh and blood, strength and life
detach the truth with your steak knife
a filter of my sister’s core
makes tainted sweets, which i abhore
this you accept, i can’t ignore
you see limits, i see gore
make the choice to offer more
before this class rule turns to war
we have no right to wear Death’s cloak
the brotherhood of creatures is in revoke

Peeping Tom

you call them god’s creatures but you stick them in a cell
then gawk at them through the bars that keep them in your hell
you say that you appreciate the chance to see them here
but you don’t know the pain you cause, the suffering, the fear
when you pay admission you become a peeping tom
you’re not a nature lover, you’re just a peeping tom
would you cage the elderly, take a child from its mom?
well you support that system and you’re a fucking peeping tom
thrown into a zoo, into a life they did not choose
in their artificial homes they’re frightened and confused
there’s no education in the unnatural life of a creature trepid to its core
and in this drab monotony they’re trapped forevermore
they’re not your whores

don’t worry ‘bout a thing just kill your conscience with TV
the government will take care of you with their false sincerity
keep consuming and decomposing with every breath you take
forget that with everything you buy there’s someone’s life at stake
after your mind is dead make sure you kill your children’s future too
our progressive society likes to rape the Earth with everything we do
and at the end of the day lay down for sleep on your nice big comfy bed
and dream of how you’re the walking grave of the murdered animals you’re fed
what makes your mind believe that it’s true?
what makes you live the way that you do?
what will it take until you change too?
and what is a life to you?
don’t think to change, don’t think to grow
just close your eyes and get in line
there are so many others just like you
fearful of the pointless measurement of time
focus on the little things that keep your intelligence at bay
and the one who tell you there’s more to life
just ignore what they say
morality is just a word but cheese and money taste so good
now go to church and go to school just like a good drone should
stand up tall and sing your country’s anthem loud with pride
shed a tear for the fallen soldiers and for who and why they died
now kiss this stolen land you love so much and that you help to kill
and drink the water and air we poison and make sure you get your fill
because before you die you must teach your children the way in which we live
and they will see how fortunate they are when it is to them the Earth you give

do preachers even care if god is even real
or do they only care about the money that they steal?
if their god is different than yours, please tell me why
as far as i can see it’s all the same lies
the flaws of religion are inherently clear
a system built on slavery and controlled through lies and fear
passing judgement without proof, dictating how life should dwell
if you want to reach heaven you must first submit to hell
sprouting their rhetoric but to truth they will not listen
trapping billions of souls into a propagated mind prison
the people do not realize, just another branch of the system
welcome to the first bank of catholicism
