Lowest of the lowly’s appetite Cue the shot and catch the frame Voyeuristic obscene parasite Mutilate, cripple and maim Bottom of the barrel’s lowest rung Neighbors in their Sunday best Gallows gossip prepping who’ll be hung Choose your six and fuck the rest Snuff Mayhem loose inside your cup-de-sac Secure your place amongst the mob All’s fair in war it’s best to watch your back Battle hymns sung at full lung Bottom feeders propped on others necks Neighbors’ pain to mind their own Splatterfest to keep the Jones in check Dig those graves lay seeds we’ve sown Snuff Walls are what we have in common Build them up to blot the sun Destroy any sense of community Prep your darts sharpen your tongue Roll the film on Paris set ablaze Values broke our bile is free Wipe out any trace of humanity Cut your homeboy at the knees Snuff

Read between the lines and you’re fine be careful what you take Everything face value will cost Everyone around suspect and might be on the make Give up on your trust and you’re lost At the edge of what they said is where you’ll find the truth The rest is surely blurred and askew Believing everything that they say is never good for you How do you put a man on the moon? Questioning Everything Exhausting and Settling “A friend will always stab you in front” so check behind your back Surveillance in our pockets to cope A lion’s den of open source conjuring a world of facts We’re hanging ourselves by our own rope At the edge of what they said is where you’ll find the truth The rest is surely blurred and askew Believing everything that they say is never good for you How do you put a man on the moon? Questioning Everything Exhausting and Settling

Blood from a stone Leveling homes Crushing your bones Darkest of dawns Gentrification spawned Generations now gone Trapped under ash Repeating sins of the past Future is cast Brutalism - Urban schism Brutalism - Subdivisions Brutalism - Demolition Brutalism - Corporate vision Blood in the soil Decades of toil Tensions now boil Rise of the risen Hiding the hidden Ignoring the wisdom Cliches in collision Ending beginning Nothing forgiven Raise your fence high as code allows Never high enough to steer away our plow We own the whole block we’re coming for you now An insulting offer that cannot be refused The house is now ours your family is screwed Sentimentality ground into worm food Breathing the last gasp Losing your last grasp Empathy fades fast Legacies crumble Mountains of rubble Prosperity humbled Monstrosity Brutal concrete No sympathy The sunniest side of the street Melts in the scalding heat The dreams of your golden years Drown in realiities tears Progress…progress…progress...

She said "you’re better off dead and I’d love to slit your throat" She sighed and the look in her eye made it clear that she had given up hope She stood with her back against the wall in a pose not lost on me She knew that she could make me crawl and with a smirk I’d be on my knees She played an agonizing game that she knew we could never win She smiled and it broke my heart again and again and again This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker A love destined to fall This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker This one will top them all I knew I didn’t have a clue and I was in it just way too deep I piled my emotions and bile on the top of her garbage heap I still hate myself for believing that it was true I’ll never be the same again now what am I supposed to do? This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker A love destined to fall This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker This one will top them all One bad mistake and it was over - Never to be happy again We fell into a deep despair as her spite bumped on my love We filled that gaping hole with some booze and lies and drugs We swore we’d pull out of it and that those days were just a binge We did and then she turned her back and I never saw her again This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker A love destined to fall This one’s a real tearjerker This one’s will make you bawl This one’s a real tearjerker This one will top them all This one’s a real tearjerker It will drive you straight up the wall

Dirty work to do and the laundry to clean Hog tied at the end of a rope So common place it seems to have become routine Who’s out and who’s in on the joke? A fool’s errand chasing tails Caught off guard and bound to fail It's you who’s left holding the bag A fool’s errand beg and wail Box of curves and old wive’s tales You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag The Snipe hunt is on but who’s in on the con? Spent years being left in the dark A hazing ablaze playing a losers game The last one to know is the mark A fool’s errand chasing tails Caught off guard set up to fail It's you who’s left holding the bag A fool’s errand beg and wail Lobster Gun and old wive’s tales You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag Here we go, another round A falling tree that makes a sound A bridge that’s connecting a bridge Monotonous ancillary bit Test of wills test of wits And pranks that are as vicious as Sid One more time, one more round Lost at sea and gone to ground Clowns running circles in the dark A tired bit that’s blow to bits Fraying nerve and shaking fits It’s never been a walk in the park The glass hammer falls Nails fools to the wall The imbecile’s call Will land on us all The blind lead the blind following the unkind What's fiction and what's blurring the facts By swinging a cat there’s no doubt that you’ll find Another fool to strap on the rack A fool’s errand chasing tails Caught off guard set up to fail It's you who’s left holding the bag A fool’s errand beg and wail Spark plug sparks and old wive’s tales You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag One more time, one more round Lost at sea and gone to ground Clowns running circles in the dark A tired bit that’s blow to bits Fraying nerve and shaking fits It’s never been a walk in the park Here we go, another round A falling tree that makes a sound A bridge that’s connecting a bridge Monotonous ancillary bit Test of wills test of wits And pranks that are as vicious as Sid The glass hammer falls Nails you to the wall The imbecile’s call Will land on us all

Standing on the rock of Gibraltar As it slowly sinks into the soft sand Believing that the ground cannot falter What a fool believes until their own end Out on the precipice Looking down over the edge To blow your life into bits Just put your heart in your hand An iceberg on the horizon Clear as the nose on my face (as the noose on my neck) Just look in the mirror and keep lying And smear your pride all over the place Out on the precipice The uncertainty of where I now stand Choosing to live with this It’s loneliness as if on demand Time being ripped like a band-aide Illusions blending in with my dreams A patchwork existence to salve me Trust has been torn at the seams Out on the precipice Well past the point of return Smeared in her bile & spit A lesson I’ll never learn Storm clouds that hover above me That I wouldn’t know myself without Wounds I keep fresh and from healing My loss is that which I’m all about Out on the precipice A comfort in knowing this place A petty hateful trip Becomes a soothing embrace Out on the precipice A knot I'll never unwind Neck deep in the abyss Closure that I’ll never find I’ll never find...
