1. Struggle

Pull yourself up!


Self hate is self help

Self help is self hate


Struggle

– blame yourself

Struggle

– not someone else

Struggle

– what you do

Struggle

– it’s on you


Pull yourself up!


Self hate is self help

Self help is self hate

2. Going Through the Motions


Working for peanuts

while the rich gets more tax cuts

A heart in doubt

or the guts to spill it out?


Do you feel it in your gut?


You’re not getting handouts

– the state only gives bailouts

A heart in doubt

or the guts to spill it out?


Do you feel it in your gut?


Going through the motions

or setting things in motion?

A heart in doubt

or the guts to spill it out?


Do you feel it in your gut?

3. Subject/Object


Your arguments are

not up to par

With too few steps

you go too far


Still subjected to your subject

No matter how much I object


Your every thought

– a slippery slope

Your best guess

– trite and pointless


Still subjected to your subject

No matter how much I object


I’m getting sick

of your voice

You’re so thick

– I get no choice


Still subjected to your subject

No matter how much I object

4. Toleration


Reluctant acceptance

for the appearance


Your toleration

is subordination


Halfhearted acceptance

of the different


Your toleration

is subordination


Passive acceptance

without substance


Your toleration

is subordination


Your acceptance

makes no difference


Your toleration

is subordination

5. Break Yourself


Trying to be whatever fits in

I'm anxious to the brink

I need thicker skin

I don’t need to know what you think


Change yourself

Change society


Hatin' myself for my bitterness

– only makin' it worse

I got a sickness

I don't know how to nurse


Change yourself

Change society


Break yourself

Make society

Make yourself

Shake society

6. Hate Is the Glue


Mental rigidity

– hate is the glue

Wholesale stupidity

– hate is the glue


Free-for-all

not free at all


Liberal economy

– hate is the glue

Conservative morality

– hate is the glue


Free-for-all

not free at all


Hate is the glue

7. Sickening


As of late

under crushing weight

Slowly building up

to not good enough


I’m not that tough


Crippling doubt

Sickening thoughts


Lost my wits

pecking at tiny bits

I’ve resigned

to meaningless grind


Can’t unwind


Crippling doubt

Sickening thoughts

8. Nation Like Family


Fanatic fantasy

brewing in the west

Nation like family:

father knows best


The flag


You listen so eagerly,

servile and obsessed

Nation like family:

father knows best


The flag

The gag


Staying in lane

– wearing the gag

Feeling the strain

– under the flag


The gag


No one to contest

No civil unrest

Nation like family:

father knows best

9. Prosperity Gospel


Private jets

with no regrets

Grow the congregation

– reel in the donations


It will trickle up


The poor and the ill

paying your bill

Grow the congregation

– feel the elation


It will trickle up


Praise be

It’s tax free

Grow the congregation

without regulation


It will trickle up

10. Infinite Regression


More drinking,

to do less thinking

Nothing said

can soothe my head


An infinite

regression of the mind

Is all I can ever

really find

Cant get a grip

and keep it tight

Can't seem to

get anything right


Everything in circles

thoughts in a loop


It's getting late

and I can't think straight

Nothing will

make my mind still
