I was stricken with fleas
It’s a disease
Locked me in a facility
Fixed me right for society
I am stricken with fleas

See how hard he fell
From the edge of hell
Who can tell where he’s headed
Culture is no more
And life as we know it
So see his list of books to burn
Born in Desert Storm
Breeding with the worms
To the point that…
His guts were torn
There’s no hope no more
For a child of scorn
Medically rendered with…
A phantom arm

Guttersnipe

I see my family starving
Swole with uranium
No more fowl for food
Bloated with distress
Two bodies smoldered
Right in time for sodding
It reeks of guttersnipe
In this pool of sick
It’s a rotten world
It’s a painful world
In sickness and in wealth
What’s left is afterbirth
In this rotten world
In this painful world

Unknown Man

I am the unknown man
I am the hooded man
I am the birthless man
I am Ruby Ridge man
Blind for 1000 miles with no headlight
Guzzling gasoline no end in sight
Medicine man promised to show me smite
They said to me you’re only worth blight
I am the king of the jungle

In a town that no one knows, it’s the perfect stage
Knock out all inhabitants, start to incubate
Beaming light from scion eyes are
Breaking pathways in your head
No one makes it out alive
Execution on yourself
This little village is surely damned, you don’t stand a chance
Turned to pawns in a bigger plan with a single glance
It’s hard to say for sure who will survive
No thought is safe inside your head from our arresting eyes
Beaming light from scion eyes are
Breaking pathways in your head
No one makes it out alive
We aren’t daughters, we aren’t sons
We all think as one
No concern for a mother’s love
Our orders come from above
In a town that no one knows…
