Reconstruction “What are we gonna do now?” the quotation races through my mind, thanks to a resonance that brings me back to my roots. Like a dead tree revived that’s been sidelined- gawking at these volatile times, do you remember what it means to have a heart? Digital boys and girls consume what’s left of the waste from the baby boom, voting careerist populist, and indulging in token pleasures too. Sick of the constant mental abuse from those who do nothing but use, it’s time to reconstruct the world we see. We’re not slaves, we’re human beings and anyone who manipulates is a usurper and a gutless enemy. Sick of all the fucking abuse from those who do nothing but use, it’s time to reconstruct the world to what it should be. But it starts in hearts and then on streets, so grab your life from the jaws of defeat, dismantle your mindset quick and slowly rebuild.

Effigy 02:20
Effigy Straddling the corners are the faces who’ve seen better, shrouded in the secret peace of a bitter silent honor. the corroded masks we wear hiding true demeanors, grasping at the pieces to be fitted into place… While shackled in debt and wasting our time, force fed acceptance from enterslaved minds, being judged on lack of luxury by those who want my future burnt in effigy. Been told once and been told twice but third times the crime - build the pyres and set the fires, piss and moan, bitch and drone – past action dissolves integrity, delusions become memory and this history of quiet poverty is rewritten time and time again…

Response 00:58
Response Disrespect’s a two way street that crosses path with speech, and the passive regressive collision making trust incomplete… If you’re gonna say it, say it now… Comfort disintegrates dropping contents from the mind, as elegant accolades radiate like shit from sewer pipes…

Professional 02:29
PROFESSIONAL I’m a god/I’m a slob - an inferiority complex built on oppression, always hoping to redeem a life and brighten their days through halogen eyes. I want to be pressed in perfection, unfeeling at my discarded station speaking to the disembodied co-working spirits that pass on blindly, creative silence gasping between telephone breaths I begin to lose my common sense and long for monolithic security! I’m a jailor/I’m a prisoner - the brain’s another cell that confines tirades, repressing emotions for the bigger score never satisfied I anger for MORE! Morals speak louder than truth but the ones I live by I fucking choose, that raises me to a heavenly hell, but I’m no sellout/I’m professional. Grapple with concepts of duress, while smiling with the men of success, yet in the end I know they’re plagued by indifferent cowardice. But I’m so sellout/I’m professional, I’m so sellout/I’m professional, I’m so sellout/I’m professional… WHAT HAVE I BECOME?! the regressive degradation of common thought – left behind and conformed to rot, re-enforcing the front that makes me “me” hiding the truth I hope you don’t see. ‘Cause I’m so sellout/I’m professional, I’m so sellout/I’m professional, giving “congrats” and I wish you well, but secretly… “I’ll see you in hell”.

Ghost Blues 01:02
Ghost Blues Riding rails and crimson steeds never to give what you stole from me Haunt my heart then make it stop, I’ll be glad when it falls apart I see your ghost in this concrete hell, and your memory in everyone else oh lord, take me home Those sultry angels I loved to see - thieved my nights away from me, Those devilish eyes gazed into mine, as I laid by their side. Now I pray to take away the pain rotting inside of me and find it’s just wasting time until I die.

52 Nights in 51 Days Another trip in a daily attraction Pavlovian reaction with a bit of retraction esoteric motions in the right direction a telephone call is another distraction I’m sick of writing replacement words with insecure underground allure. Another number on the meter and a notch upon the board. Another brain in the blender, pieces strewn on the floor. As the earth spins on its axis we integrate philosophical methods, too much work and not enough play when there’s fifty-two nights in fifty-one days. The radio’s emitting obsequious waves burning the ears and scarring in ways, materialistic psychotic talk. Kick it down – less talk more rock hopefully repress the shock. Weigh out happiness in terms of success all junked out, an escapist wreck. Sidewalk strollers with their heads in the gutter post-modern living, no fucking borders. Swallow the drugs decontrol substance sift through the refuse of urban decay, too much work and not enough play when there’s fifty-two nights in fifty-one days…

Way of Life 02:48
Way of Life Everyone’s trying to feed their needs while trying to keep you down, rejecting their minds as they would mine, no one tells me how to live. Although I yearn for what they have what can I really give? Constantly reminded what I don’t have. Living this way of life - always fucks you around, living this way of life – keeps your soul to the ground, say it’s wise to shut off feelings and conform to prior thinking… I recognize your right to exist but that doesn’t mean I agree with it… Everyone living beyond their means as I save along the poverty line, in anarchic secret near the highway signs within 01845, DIY has its price and I’m sure paying mine, but giving in to their demands is a wretched waste of time.
