lyrics

A sigh for all is a war forever
Take a half-heart breath to ease the pressure
Needless shrug off something better yet,
deader set on your human languor
But we just won’t call, and we…
We just won’t call, and we, ennui
We live to see our screenshot light on diffidence
Leftist betterment for all: Look how we crawl

So peel back my skin
until my nerves catch the breeze
This stale fabric in the most befitting fashion
It’s a laughable hold
on my sickening stomach where gluttony grows
but never—
It never takes the blow
(or the pain)

Isn’t it funny how
we slam satiety
but keep our comfort speared on dirty forks
Well, I’m…
Fuck, we’re all content to make believe that our place to be is determined by
the social conduct we employ
and promote feeling but never actually enjoy

[…]
What keeps me sane

Peel back my skin:
Won’t be the right call
Peel back what’s real:
We won’t exist without proof
Peel back that old
rapacity grind
Shortcuts to feel
sort of real but not alive

Please make me real
Please hate me
Please make
Please
Sing something true and free
Won’t you please make—
