The Irony Of Your Regeneration
From The Essence Of The Dead Unborn
You Need Not End
Until You Choose
Can One Tire Of Life?
With This Fluid Youth
Would You Stay Forever Young
For Innocence Is The Enemy Of Progress
Languished Time Grows Stale Unless Earned
Why Reproduce Yourself
When You Control Evolution's Pace
We May Halt The Unnatural Degradation
But Perhaps The Lizard Will Grow Back Its Tail

Biting The Hands That Feed Your Tail To Your Mouth
Ingest Your Self Excreted World
Choke On Your Regurgitation
Your Disused Eyes Have Grown Dim
They Focus Not On The Mirror
Reflecting Traffic Turning To The Side
Down One Way Streets
They Flee To Open Grateful Arms
In A World Where Your Will
Neither Applies Nor Makes Sense
It's Repeating On You
We're Overtaking You
The Flock Must Compromise
And Streamline
The Profit From The Few
Worth More Than The Many
The Loss Will Be Small
If You Control And Are All
No Conflict Of Interest
We Are Sole Access
It's Repeating On You
We're Overtaking You
So Forge Ahead To Where You Make Yourself Welcome
And Swallow Your Lies, We Can See Them Through You
Your Current Fill Will Have To Suffice
You've Burst Your Stomach From A Lack Of Spice
Your Innards Hang Out For All To Witness
The Self Serving Organs Are Laid Bare
You've Lost Your Limbs, Wyrm
And These Hands Feed You Not

That Leaves Your Acts Open

I Won't Allow You To Feel
I Will Mute Your Pleasure
I Will Frustrate You
Until You Satisfy Me
For I Know What You Want
I'm Only Waiting For You
Admit It
Act On It
I Can Wait Forever
Though I May Destroy You
If You Don't Achieve What I/We
Want, Nay, Need
If And When You Satiate Me
I Will Return Your Life To You
And Amplify It Beyond What You've Known
I Am Self Condemnation
Since We Are One
I Will Not Rest
Until I See You Succeed

You've Been Ordered To Tear Down This Wall
By Those Who Helped Set You In Power
Here By The Grace Of These People
Who Invited You Into Their Home
To The Proclaimed Mutual Benefit Of All
Yet You've Fenced Yourself Off
Shown It's Us And Them
Reneged On Good Will
And Lied To Them All
Deception, Deceit, Dishonesty
All Carefully Concealed
Under Your Damned Sight
With The Promise Of Pure Progress
We All Buy Right In
To What Consolidates Established
Profit And Power
Yet Your Airs Of Community
Are Soon Blown Apart
By A Controlled Detonation
Of Reality
We, The People
Divided By Zeros
United By One
Multiply

Do The World A Favour
Destroy Your Own
Keep It In The Family
These Words Are From Those
Who Care Not For You Or Your Kind
Abuse For Amusement Or Profit
Intimidation By Force
Faux Friendship
I Wave In Disgust As The Anti-Human Bandwagon Trundles By
Yet I Still Feel Travel-Sick From Having To Suffer You
Insecurity
Peer Pressure
Fucked-Up Childhood
I Don't Care
Let Us Help You
Or Do The World A Favour
Destroy Your Own
Keep It In The Family

You Engrave Your Own Fossil
When The Blood You Push
Sprays Back In Your Face
Watch It Flow Through Your Fingers
The Sound And Fury Arrive
Tracing The Signature
Pray You've Struck Deep Enough
That You're Beyond Haunting
The Self Prophets Have Foretold Their Success
Yet Upon Your Heads These Men Will Rain Fire
Men, Open Wide Your Arms
And Receive Your Blessings
From The Children

Ignoring It's Existence
Gives You But Half The Truth
Incorporate And Advance
