"A vessel for new information that could change the social system that we live in." (Mark Sarich, Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center, Saint Louis)
REAL CIDE! REAL DEATH! REAL CHANGE!
YOUR ABILITY TO CHANGE!
"...see, it's a great way of promoting the status quo - promoting oppression, promoting prejudice, sexism, racism... any fucking 'ISM you can come up with - promoting it, not tolerating it, PROMOTING IT, using a language that acts as if it's trying to censor it... What a good joke..."

THE SHIT PUNX HATE 2
04:24

waiting in line for your turn to talk
by the time you've got that microphone you're wasted drunk
and it's not about an idea it's about ROCK
how retro the sound sounds - I don't give a fuck
the same old worn out formula anger
all as good as Halloween with no sense of danger
I thought I could be a part cos I thought I was strange
but in the end to them I'm nothing but a stranger!!!
...when they're different the wrong way...
I'm from Cincinnati where the kids don't care
what the fuck you are saying or why you are there
they just criticize your technique, get all academic on everything or
bitch against your right to exist if they don't understand you immediately
the town I grew up in is bullshit today
and the only kids I can stand are the ones that punk rockers hate
in a fucked up way, too rigid to change, or accept some ideas
like they fucked up on some old age...
NOW! and PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
NOW! and PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
through the only few who ignore those games
that's the only acceptance that I've ever found!
PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
it's a byproduct or catalyst at best - a distraction to save my life again - yeah!
punk rock is pop today - fuck you, the same way, every time, right, of course, easy...
we make our own hell - apocalypse or not it's just what we sell
a fist that doesn't move - just propped in the air to patronize the youth
wow, how alternative! it's edgy! it's cute! how retro and authentic - FUCK THAT
like a blank in the barrel - so what? fucking shoot! NO PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
the same old worn out formula anger as real
as Halloween with no sense of danger
I thought I could be a part cause I thought I was strange
but in the end to them I'm nothing but a stranger
PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!! what else?!
I run into this shit everywhere - I think I'll fit in, but I’m just too square
I don’t feel anything but rejected - well yeah I'm fucking strange
I thought that’s what punks accepted?
NO! PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!! NOW!!! PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
through the only few who ignore those games
that's the only acceptance that I've ever found! yeah! PUNK AIN'T COMFORT!!!
I don’t wear my ideals on my sleeve - rejected if my person ain’t easily perceived
you want my identity instantly - lightweight disgusted if you had to talk to me
it’s more than a romantic image of poverty, it's hardcore mentality, it's mental anxiety
"punk rock is just a / VICIOUS BLIND EYE"

EVERYTHING IS A CAMERA
03:01
|
|||
|
"I can see it inside your face...
do I deserve to live?"
I'm looking for your eyes, everybody - I want to know if I'm wasting my breath
but all I see are flickering lenses - everything's a camera and you act like you're deaf
an audience of cameras - so intent to document
so much so that we bypass feeling - anything at all - yeah fuck it
clicking buttons instead of really - listening to what is right
in front of our faces, so after it all what do we got??
a million sterile token memories of shit that isn't what it seems on a screen...
turn to find console in your friend but all you're met with is another machine!
(let me explain)
supposed to preserve experience but it just replaces experience!
that photogenic twenty-first century game - cutting corners with your sincerity...
your friends don't give a fuck - not really
they'd rather see you as a URL and a password and another fucking number
does that make you feel good? how the fuck do you deal with that?
or do you react? DO YOU EVEN REACT?
even right now you aren't hearing this
you're fucking with a cell phone and might as well not be here...
an audience of cameras - so intent to document
so much so that we bypass feeling - anything at all - yeah fuck it
clicking buttons instead of really - listening to what is right
in front of our faces, so after it all what do we got??
AFTER IT ALL WHAT DO WE GOT?!
(what does it mean when we learn to be alright with)
everything's a camera...

"That spider, why are you afraid of it? Because it has eight legs?
Because its mouth moves from side to side instead of up and down?
If it came toward you what would you do?"
"This..." (man crushes spider under boot)
"Exactly, as you'd destroy anything you didn't understand..."

AUTONOMY
02:13
|
|||
|
your crusade isn't mine - your jihad isn't mine
xenophobic on each side - your hate is defined by pride
NO WAR CAN BE WON
unless you accept a nation's children as fodder for a gun
that backfires and bloodstains our decisions
it's foreign - it's domestic - the same either way - victims
but am I among these "victims"
when I got a brain in my skull and warm blood in my body
can I really claim I ain't a cell in the system
when I had reach to the resources that could stop that gun from firing?
when I had reach to the resources that could keep my conscience from dying??
when I have access to a solution I call compassion combined with REALLY TRYING???
your crusade isn't mine - your jihad isn't mine
I'm not pacified just cos I'm not the one who's next to die
(what difference should that make?)
"in full force"
...when winning is based on ethnocentric death
in our fucking civilization, based on who is left
after a game called genocide and another familiar one called wealth
burning to death in oil, so a few sociopaths can keep their good health
what could I have access to and would I grab it even if I did?
your crusade isn't mine - your jihad isn't mine
xenophobic on each side - your hate is defined by pride
your crusade isn't mine - your jihad isn't mine
using god as your alibi - you don't speak for me when you lie
your crusade isn't mine - your jihad isn't mine
I'm not pacified just cos I'm not the one who's next to die
(what should that matter?)

IF I AM HUNGRY
03:12
|

"I try to quit while I'm ahead..."
"We must shape a new mentality... People must be trained to desire; to want new things even before the old have been entirely consumed; from a needs to a desires culture..."
"RIGHT NOW."
"...but I notice that I'm already killing."
fuck my whimpering body - that shell that would cripple those of any it could
I know that it would - this - my human body
manipulator and each time terminal mutilator
manifest viral extinguisher of itself and anything else
leave the choice to me and it's the zipper closing on this world's body bag
point of no return - point to prove to whom?
...til there's nobody left to use or gloat to
fuck my whimpering body - let it be a sacrificial tool
celebrate our death in order to honor all life on Earth
celebrate our death as a cure for a plague of all unjust hurt
wash away a failed species
"...a supreme conception that suffering is a mistake, or a sign of weakness, or a sign even of illness, when in fact the greatest truths we know have come out of people suffering." (Arthur Miller)

THE INSANE ANGEL
01:27
|

|
I don't care what you say - you don't give a fuck about me
no matter what you said before - one in a million, hell nah just one among millions
(no matter what I said, pretend it don't mean nothing to me)
use me for my money, use me for my car,
use me for my cock, use me for my credibility
cos it's been a fucking lifetime since I felt anything at all
one momentary touch of your body even though you won't look at me
use me for my money, use me for my car,
use me for my cock, use me cos I'm easy
you wanna get fucked and you'll ask me to fuck you
under one condition that I'm not allowed to love you
pretend it don't mean anything, that it's just some time to kill
so I'll accept it for a taste and pretend I don't love you
…what about when I can't even feel pain
while I'm fucking you just once and I don't fall in love
growing old as fuck and courting affection with hate
this isn't at all how I wanted or what I dreamed of
left alone in a parking lot
ain't got not insane angel to touch my skin
left alone with my fucking thoughts
and they don't impress me, not the way they once did

"It's part of the whole ideology of this age, which is POWERMAD."
you're just a middle finger in the face of fucking nobody
you're not shocking to anybody and your mom's not fucking here
pretend it's anarchism - but it's a personal agenda not even well hidden
your ideas don't mean shit much more than some unarticulated fear
"so fuck you"
back your slogans up if you want to represent a politic
or just shut up - shut - up - and admit your hardcore band don't mean shit
"so fuck you"
if you're trying to speak for all of us you're going to need something much better to say
but you spend your energy on a personal agenda in that sabotaging fucked up way
I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU EVERY STEP YOU TRY TO TAKE
so fuck you kid, and fuck the authority you struggle to invent

DEATH MACHINE
01:28
|
|||
|
I jump into my death machine
and I immediately forget what this world was meant to be
and despite any moments of beauty and fragility
my life has no value in my death machine
indebted to convenience, and stubbornness, and even subtle greeds
when I try to look away, this machine can make hostages of anything
we each must work each day, no matter if we enjoy this working
just to scrape to pay for the maintenance of a weapon and a deathwish
but of course more than just a wish, this death machine is our religion
or rather one callous bible accessory to the religion that is our humanity
an origin not of death itself, but of its association to perversity
an origin not of death itself, but of the arbitrary on/off switches of our machines
an origin of machines, and their uncompromising lack of life
inventions that bypass compassion, inventions that degrade everything
an origin of ownership, of "point to prove", of disharmony
I jump into my death machine
I try to quit while I'm ahead, but I notice that I'm already killing.

NEUTRALIZING OPIATE
02:08
|

you say music has no power to inspire social action,
but isn't it true it's got the power to pacify and prevent social action?
I'd rather try to make a mark on this society (whose society?)
than ensure it remains on its current course
(You're right. I hate dance parties.)
entertainment is a tool as dangerous as a machine gun
who you gonna point it at and will you kill them when you do?
entertainment is a tool as dangerous as a machine gun
who you gonna point it at and will you kill them when you do?
and I believe music is a historically potent catalyst for social change
though it's not the change itself
and hardcore isn't necessarily about music as much as a vital spark
do you ever wish you were in a place where people might listen?
cos they won't here - I promise you they are drunk one way or another;
I promise you they don't give a fuck;
I promise that the only reason this matters is because it doesn't matter...
NO! RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW!
my entire life is not a vacation - NO!
and I'm NOT ALIVE TO BE PACIFIED - I'm not alive to wish I had died!
will you be on my end of this gun - RIGHT NOW
with a trigger that can break the silence - RIGHT NOW
my entire life is not a vacation - NO!
and I'm NOT ALIVE TO BE PACIFIED - I'm not alive to wish I had died!
will you be on my cide of this gun - RIGHT NOW
with a trigger that can break the silence - RIGHT NOW
(Right now I'm in France at another braindead dance party.
I wish I was in Saint Louis, I wish this mattered.)

ABSENT RAPIST INTRO
02:04

(sounds of clicking keyboard, heavy breathing, footsteps far away)
Woman: Honey? (from upstairs)
(typing becomes rapid, sounds of very distant lo-fi moaning and groaning, one heavy breath is taken, sound of footsteps coming down stairs)
Man: (very under breath) shit…
(groaning abruptly stops and a hard click is heard)
Woman: Hey hon’? (very close)
(sound of seat being turned around)
Man: Yeah?
Woman: Are you coming to bed soon?
Man: Yeah, I'm just really busy right now.
Woman: Well you always say that, you spend all night down here in the basement on that damn computer like some sort of vampire...
Man: Look, I’m just in the middle of something.
Woman: Fine, that’s fine, you'll be up later?
Man: Yeah, I'll be up later.
Woman: You're not still playing those internet gambling games are you? Now I don’t want some bill collec… (cut off)
Man: NO... no I haven’t played that shit in months.
Woman: Okay babe, I'm just saying, things like that can be really addictive...
Man: I know, but if you don't mind I'm kinda busy.
Woman: Oh yeah, I'll see you later tonight?
Man: Yeah, of course, I'll be up soon.
Woman: 'K hon’, goodnight. (sound of kiss)
(walking up steps, door closing, heavy breathing starts, clicking keypad and mouse, groaning is turned back on except sounds more violent, heavier breathing and swallowing)
Man: jesus...

THE ABSENT RAPIST
02:40
|
|||
|
"YOU! - Fuck You!"
you watch them cringe in fear and clenching your cock harder
you thirst for something more than most porn has to offer
sexually eroded - morally corroded
lustfully devoted to a world that is pure fiction
psychotically worshipping your own dirty addiction
you used to just take minutes but now it's taking hours
to get it off you gotta get your own small dose of power
through more and more rape sustenance your heart and soul devour
pixilated cunts and dicks - their pouty faces cower
what’s always been inside you is expressed in pixel fiction
the lust for death and power-madness clicked with all conviction
a wife that’s left with nothing but a sleepless empty bed
so distanced so far from your family you might as well be dead
you watch them fuck like dogs and rape like rape's a fucking business
you gotta get that terror in their eyes in every instance
you like to think they want the pain, you gotta fuck them faceless
you wanna be their lord and master - you’re the absent rapist
a wife that’s left with nothing but a sleepless empty bed
so distanced so far from your family you might as well be dead
you’re a dominator - a real Xterminator
a sucker for those lonely helpless weakened plastered faces
you're a faceless phantom far away their absent rapist
alone and feeling nothing but the joy of empty ends
all those girls to give you what you want - every night - it never ends
you gave up hope to ever find a bonded decent lover
now you’d only want a girl if you could stand above her
who knows where all these girls come from to be bought and raped and traded
always looking vacant as they stand before you naked
this virus is so common in our sex drenched generation
where all the love you feel is pure is pure imagination
you’re a dominator - a real Xterminator
a sucker for those lonely helpless weakened plastered faces
you're a faceless phantom far away their absent rapist
your wife, your mother, neighbor, and even your own daughter
all make you sick to look at because you only see in vulgar
now its faceless, tasteless, bleeding through into your body
until your drug is not enough to keep your heart from rotting
it's only a matter of time before it becomes your normality
your absent rapist mindstate transfers into your reality
you’re a dominator - a real Xterminator
a sucker for those lonely helpless weakened plastered faces
you're a faceless phantom far away their absent rapist

CONSUMER LISTENING
00:43
|
|||
|
"What happens to music within a consumerist system? What happens to LISTENING within a consumerist system? How it's reduced; how you are incapable of appreciating anymore. You just look for what's familiar; kind of almost an animal pleasure. The system requires of you to shut off that judgment about what is actual quality. They want to decide for you what it is so that you'll buy it. So those decisions are not based on intrinsic information in the music they're based on what kind of clothes the person is wearing, what do they look like, and do they have celebrity. You no longer listen to the music to decide if it's any good; it MUST be good because it sold so many copies..." (Mark Sarich from an interview in 2006)

you look like a fucking zwinky - I'd rather look like I ain't got shit
cept some conviction in these chipped teeth and I'm gonna fucking spit
my voice - my name - I am more than a buzzword
try to commodify me - you'll be sorry and I won't get paid
cos I'm not a fucking DJ!
I'm not a fucking DJ! I'm not a fucking DJ!

get them to agree (just words) so fucking what
still ain't got no resource to make this mean a fuck
did you want to have voice or do you just want to complain
did you ever actually intend to cause anything to change?

CAN'T RELATE?
03:09
|
|||
|
the romance of identity, the romance of death
all parts of my youth that I'm beginning to regret
cos I see so many others just to caught up in themselves
by marketing their suffering, set in stone their way of hell
I see so many artists that just do it for their culture
no passion in the material - just an audience of vultures
incestuous and elitist - ignorant and bored
always tally up the score - next in line to play the whore
where we all get our rocks off by channeling an angst
that isn’t even there - punk rock is just a prank
at first I felt abandoned when I just couldn’t relate
to the causes that have no basis - just unfiltered senseless hate
when there’s to much time exerted for the sake of all your clan
and you don’t even know yourself by the time it's too late and you’re a man
not a man any true respect, a child inside at best
not enough time to look at your mind - too much puffing out your chest
proud amongst your crowd and insecure when you’re in public
cos your character is comic and you hate it but you love it
it's not real, can't you see? we are simply circumstantial
we can’t base our lives on others' art and music as substantial
how many people will I cross so willing to die?
each day is cruel monotony, creeping slowly by
and all I ever wanted to do was make a break for it
but now that I'm running I can already see that
the only thing that needs to change is what’s inside of me
fantasies of culture and cause, of iconography and leadership
someday I’ll be nothing but dust and the metals we use for murder all just old corroded rust
and what I thought was love was just chemically created lust
it's time for the better way I've always felt dormant in me
give up the ghost of permanence - accept myself as momentary
I will not live forever and I will not die a waste
my words and spirit passed on to you as the soil covers my face
I won’t be congratulated for being born with the right skin
we can’t desire someone else’s eyes or skeleton
and even if there’s no one there to watch us laugh or crying
at least we won’t be lying - at least were fucking trying

"It's about 'change'..."
"It's at that party level, because people are confused by social change versus politics, which are not the same thing, in fact I think they're probably the opposite..."
"Is it wrong... to give people what they want... by taking away their defenses?"
"These words mean nothing to anyone anymore... They have no other choice but to just claw that all down and control every single facet of the media that they can possibly get ahold of. They're trying to reincorporate all these elements of part revolutions; basically commercialize them; dull them down and deaden them. Kind of just drive them into the ground until these words like 'revolution' and 'revolt' become meaningless over a while. They're thrown on things like car commercials; they're thrown on a McDonald's slogan like 'a hamburger revolution' - These words mean nothing to anyone anymore..." (Jim Swill from an interview in 2006)

DESPERATELY RETRO
01:32
|

|
In the dance club I saw wolves bear teeth. Drunken and rapist.
All 1970's retro overload, fashion overtones that alienate me. Womens' hands touch you all over.
Every step you take a hand runs down your body somewhere. Anonymous Aryan orgy.
Trying so hard; everyone forcing forcing forcing; painfully squeezing the conformity heart;
clenching out all its blood over their child minds; sexual and blunt.
A girl says "spread the news, I’ll spread the legs." Camera phones and I-pods galore.
Washing over flesh with bleach and hard cleansers.
Taking sandpaper to scrotums and high-pressure hoses to vaginas;
all waxed and ready for semi-child pornographic fantasies; hipster slick grime.
But course it's unspoken; nobody dressed so clean could be so polluted right?
Cigarettes held, big smiles whine, phones out and on, texting while gabbing lies.
A few lies hear and there and throw down.
Guts swoll with liquor. Dicks soft and flaccid. Pussies dry and resistant.
But thru the drunk haze it remains the aim held out over the edge
waiting to choke on oily ejaculates and colognes 30 years down the line.
Shotgun suicide in midlife crisis. Youth wasted on desperation.
Empty and brightly lit. Aryan orgy hipster fucks.
"There are very many reasons why most people prefer to live in the age just behind them. To live right on the shooting line, right on the frontier of change and so on is terrifying." (Professor Marshall McLuhan)

envious and boring fuckers - envious and boring
I was never like you - you weren’t like me
glory - aimless glory for what - fuck you - count me out
what do you believe in - you don't have shit to show
what do you believe in - nothing - a default - a defense - lazy old fuckers

and expect me to automatically put up with it

“…right… but nothing seems to change… sit around waiting for a holiday…
I’ve got a mess I can’t reject inside of me…” (Babyland 15 July 2006, at The Smell)
say it easy but you're so far away - I have no idea when I’ll be back
my only chance, my only idea, out of reach, of all things by physical distance
the power to dissolve my interest (in the past)
I hope the distance can force me to find a way, I gotta get out, I gotta get back...
I'm not looking for handouts - I know I'm too old to beg
though I ain't got much to eat - but still not sucking down drugs
did I fuck up my chance with you cos I'm not drunk every night
I did everything I said I'd do but the shit you said to me didn't last
I don't give a fuck what I must taste like
when you got who knows what up your nose
and really fucking fast change your plan for tomorrow
as long as you're warm it don't mean shit if I'm cold
punch me in my chipped teeth - I feel good as fuck tonight
got a destination and a dare to set shit right
you know I thought I'd be dead - I remember when I thought I was
but I got a reason and a energy straight ahead
gonna be homeless but I got no pain just cos
I'm coming to LA and I'm gonna see you there alright
my body is a bullet no matter what the fuck I look like
got a destination and the heart to hate where I've been
I'm coming to LA and I don't care what happens
I don't care what happens...

WANT RUNS THIN

(imagine the cuts every night)
"I wanted to live a different life..."
want runs so thin - finite in every way
I feel drained - I feel close to dead - whatever that means
"A different life that wasn't available to me in the image I was born."

YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE

|

|
SIX ONE FOUR!
stop fucking calling me - in the middle of the night
I told you I wish you were dead - stay the fuck out of my life
and your memory of me will be the knife turning in your guts forever
I don't want to know you're alive - you'll never be a friend of mine
you crossed a fucking line - deranged daydream of murdering you
but I know I'll still fucking dream about you tonight
(my enemy, my devil inside my bitter crippled head)

"The corporations had realized that it was in their interest to encourage people to feel that they were unique individuals and then offer them ways to express that 'individuality'. A world in which people felt they were rebelling against conformity was NOT A THREAT TO BUSINESS."

"I wanted to live a different life that wasn't available to me in the image I was born..."
microphone bruises - I feel like I'm drowning so I count each minute
deadline - time's up - black exit - let's go
I can't take this world no more - I never liked games and I feel it swallowing me
tear at digest me every minute - electronic cage
each word and touch pierces my clothing and skin
companionship is the gun at the back of my head
companionship is a bleeding cut on my body while I give her head
companionship is the taperecorded glass breaking and marrying my skin
I can't stand being alone with my thoughts but when I'm with you I know I'm just wasting them
every time stuck in a pit - thinking I wish this was REAL CIDE
then immediately thinking I wish Realicide was something more - something better
didn't you hear me gasping? did you wonder what the fuck I'm trying to breathe in!!!
scraping and clutching like I'm gonna radiate an exit - like I'd be a doorway
lord look at me drowning in my thoughts - my brickwall hardcore
look at me as that junkie for more or that shell starved dry or
that demented fiend - forgot what I was hoping for
every day is all night - even when I'm sleeping, caked in the friction of my mind
I dreamed of a kid stabbing another kid like an assassin
am I an assassin or did I just get stabbed?
plague in my head - terminal - echoing continuously
crippled decisions drunk on isolation
plague dragging my legs every step I try and make
invading my guts with every breath I try and take
repossessed - replaced - renamed - erased
I found out anything can be erased
and so I'm scanning for betrayal on my best friend's face
you'd bite my face when I lean to kiss you...

...and they'd say, if they could ask you,
"Did you really wanna die?" Fuck no, I wanted to feel alive!
They’d say "Did you really wanna die?"
Fuck no - I wanted to feel alive... Just a slow agonizing DEATH.
Comatose. Unaware. Trapped inside your body!
Trapped in side the hospital! Trapped inside those people who will never know you!
To die in a place so alien to me! I just can’t understand - so many dead on a sterile bed.
And when you die they’ll just clean it off and let another person die in the same bed.
Tied up to machines... I just wanted to feel alive...
So many people... so many people will say that it’s crazy...
It’s just something we can all relate to.
Did you really wanna die? Fuck no, I just wanted to FEEL ALIVE!
I just wanted to HAVE CONTROL! I just wanted to take hold of SOMETHING!
Everything forced upon us. Everything forced into you.
The medicine... All that medicine that never does shit!
And though they’d try to call you crazy. I’m sure they’d call it crazy.
I’m sure they’d always call it crazy. It's jus something I can feel as well
But there must’ve been a better way out of this...
Just waiting, just waiting, waiting, waiting wondering if you’ll die!
Wondering if you want to! Wondering if you have to! Wondering if its better!
Will it be better somewhere else? Wherever that might be...
Just another grave that no one comes to visit.
Just another name that everyone forgets.
Just another moment that everyone regrets they had to share! Well no one cares.
And I stood there in that line.
I wondered if their tears were real, or if they just felt fear for their own selfish selves?
You wonder if anyone would care...
Just another name, another name that I didn’t choose!
On my grave that I didn’t want! Buried in the ground...
Taking up more space than I did when I was alive...
Dying as a lie; a testimony to all this bullshit!
Just another pile. Another fiend for worth.
Just another glorification of just my body... I’m not that body!!! You’re not that body!!!
And I stood there in that line. I watched them all cry.
And then I watched them laugh an hour later as before.
Didn’t really feel like anything to them... Does it really feel like anything to anyone?
And I think of all the kids that I’ve heard doing the same thing in the same neighborhood
and no one gives a shit and no one does a shit about it - no one gives a shit about them!
Just another kid. Just another case.
Just another number. Another bad memory they have to erase
A product of suburbia. A product of dementia.
A product of the same old shit. A product of repetition...
You crashed into that window! And you gave them a taste of what they fear!
And I know they call it crazy! And I know they’d call us crazy!
But anyone can relate! Deep down inside! Everything they try to hide! Exposed...
Everyone’s so fragile. And everyone’s afraid.
Everyone thinks out there that everyone’s got it made.
But all those kids, just suffering inside.
Sleeping on their comfortable beds. Just living out a lie!
That their parents gave to them. That their country gave to them
Aren’t they happy aren’t they happy aren’t they happy? No they’re fucking not!
Because they lack anything real! Anything that’s real! And they know it!!!
Sterile - sterile just like that hospital!
Another card house dealt. Another thing they’ve built.
Another card house built. For those people. For those graves.
For those walking graves! Those living graves!

BREAD AND CIRCUS
02:25

Movies are only made of rockstars; of people with troubles to a certain degree.
We watch the screen and think 'why not me? why not me?'
Because my body is decaying faster and I'm running out of time;
each precious second documented line by tiny line.
I can see now I'm just as much as a poet as the marine or the taco bell,
as a painter or a police officer, I just write it down.
Art communities fade worthlessly; arrogant with ignorance; acceptance of abstractions;
exaggerations of the simplest ideas; confused to mislead you believing there's actions.
In this entropy we call a scene. In this coffin we call a carnival.
Bread and circus, bread and circus, in the end its empty hungry, worthless.
Birthless cultures simply built from nineteen-anything retro chum.
Waiting our turn in line after line for a place in the flashbulb sun...

"...we livin' in comfort yeah but what is the cost? And we livin' in vanity yeah we live in a box. And we recycle our loss; we gain but it's loss... Loss... really it's loss..." - Evolve
"All media are extensions of some human faculty, mental or physical. The wheel is an extension of the foot; the book is an extension of the eye; clothing is an extension of the skin; electric circuitry is an extension of the central nervous system. The extension of any one sense displaces the other senses and alters the way we think, the way we see the world, and ourselves. When these changes are made, men change. Literate culture is visual and detached. It created the civilized man; the de-tribalized man; the man who is not involved. And the effect of the electric revolution is to create once more an involvement that is total." (Professor Marshall McLuhan)
"...and fear is their weapon. Fear is the control factor's greatest weapon. And love destroys them. Love we force it in destroys them. And love is more powerful than guns and bombs. And love is more powerful than guns and bombs. And love is more powerful than guns and bombs. And love is more powerful than guns and bombs..." - Evolve
"In other words taking ownership of who you are... and how you act... and how you feel... your whole being in the world... in other words giving you AUTONOMY."
"It was society that made these drives dangerous by repressing and distorting them."
"It created the civilized man; the de-tribalized man; the man who is not involved."
