Your eyes are cold and bitter, the bitter taste of defeat. A thousand blades slash your tongue and cheeks. Hallowed your name, poisoned your memory, stolen your might, blunt your edge. Scavengers gnawing their teeth at the sight of the living. Vampires feeding on your labor, the violent throes of the deceased. When the Revolution is over, the vultures come to feast. When the fighting is over, the wounded find no rest. When the Revolution is over, we return as slaves.

Crisis 07:33
Fire consumes, but the Phoenix is missing. There is little progress to be found among these ashes. Crisis. Crisis upon crisis, violent cycle. Crisis upon crisis, exploits life. Crisis upon crisis, feast your eyes. Crisis upon crisis, the market provides. Fire consumes, but it can’t purify what’s born broken. One can only rebuild for so long, before it gives in and shatters for good. The cycle becomes complete, spiraling towards defeat.

Your love is holy, Your love is sick. Your love is a noose wrapped around my neck, lift me up drag me to You. Let Your love rain down from the heavens like hail and smite from dusk to dawn, righteous bloody kisses of revenge and despair. And i will meet you halfway there. Let Your love rain down from the heavens like hail and smite from dusk to dawn. Born again, born anew. Our love is sacred, i’ll shed blood for you. Witness the power of the most righteous of loves. Hear the word and tremble before my bombs. May the whole world witness our apocalyptic love. There is no wisdom in the land of the living, there is no understanding to be found here. How happy is the one whom God reproves, I cherish Your discipline, Your righteous love.

Lost at Sea 06:29
The sea covers everything, swallows every being. The harrowing silence of the deep blue unmarked collective grave. Betrayed. Out of the fire and into the water. You claim reason, but you’re blinded by fear. You worship ideals, but you’re guided by fear. Today you sank another one, a hundred lives lost to the deep blue sea, a manufactured tragedy. Building walls instead of homes. What kind of sick joke is your fucking world? Out of the fire and into the water. You can rest now, stop searching for a home now. We’re all dead now. We killed ourselves now. Out of the fire and into the water.
5.
Magnolia 07:48
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, the children of Yahweh are at war with the world. Alone and fragile, masters of the world. A mighty empire, a magnolia blossom waiting for the nuclear winds to blow them away. / Plunge in me again. Obliterate the Other. They speak, you just need to listen. They live, the whole world is our sister, full of life. With all its eyes, the creature sees the open. It’s only our eyes that are stuck in reverse, barriers against free passage, a veil of self. With all its eyes, the creature sees the open and itself in the midst of all, healed forever. We see the future, but they see everything and themselves in the midst of all. Healed forever.
