Torture

My motivations unresolved

Things are just never what they seem, uh huh

Apathy's currencies deceit

Pitch-bended radiated dreams

The jackal's wishing well forgotten

Dark cloud sunrise

The view of someone somewhere else is

Burnt in my eyes

How long - dug-up remains

How low - the rotting fame

How low - to see right through

How long - the hole I knew

How low - the clear-eyed stain

How long - to set aflame

How low - to be set up

How long - and taken out

The anti-like karma from the crack in a handful

Painting on a mural in a foreign landfill

Mind controlled by the pulley of the strings

So remote the view from the puppetry swing set

My reservations have evolved

Scenes once negated ushered in, uh huh

Mercy killings one-to-one defend

Visionary criminals descend

On knees all burning

A time of lifeless useless thought

What a paid ride

Alchemic jail-cell vivisection

Test-subject day job

How long - to pacify

How low - you still deny

How low - from up above

How low - the tripping sound

How long - to kick back down

How long - the creeping crown

How low - the holy cheat

How long - the leap of faith

These revelations undermined

Controlled belief in leads mankind, uh huh

Each penny sold and mesmerized

We're stoned

Two-fold reversal beckoning

The binding crayon words inverted

In Justice travestia

How long - dug-up remains

How low - the rotting fame

How low - to see right through

How long - the hole I knew

How low - the clear-eyed stain

How long - to set aflame

How low - to be set up

How long - and taken out

We worship acid moans and curbside holidays

Recycle shit we throw away in glossy packaged craze

Maybe in a day or so I'll stumble on that grassy knoll

To set the record straight

Announcing to myself:

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

We kill everything that's not tied down

We euthanize but keep alive the lowest form of prison life

So useful and experimental

Treatment of the sick and dying

What about the torture?

What about the torture?

What about the torture?

What about the torture?
