Machiavelli 03:35
It sits in the corner of the ceiling And waits for you to turn your back It wears a suit of armour Made from jawbones, from voice boxes It finds your faults It scans your life It finds your faults It scans your life It's lithe body, slithering Across the years Up on its hind legs, a hard black finger Scratching away at the good, revealing the meaning Scratching away at the good, revealing the meaning A renaissance, a rebirth, rekindling public affection The prince, on its throne, it's throne in the corner of the ceiling, clinging on and on and on and on The prince, ebullient and eternal

Shame 03:39 video
Knowing only one thing, Made of many things All the same, and all wrong Confusion guided by a septic rider Spurred on by neglect, neglectful logic Self denial and a bovidae appetite Ripened tongues, left on the treel Fall and decay leaving their seeds fauna digest the flora Recycling philosophy Burnt offerings Slender pale hand A blur of a face A distinctive look Peering desolate, desperate mind
3.
Grinding to stop Hanging upside down before the town Hanging upside down before the Tongues licking, tongues licking, tongues licking eyeballs Tongues licking tongues licking tongues licking eyeballs Buried in your shame Buried in your shame An ineffable way of words The nefarious mob singing Singing chanting tears of joy Down broken cheeks Soon, burnt by the martyr Our martyr Donate Donate Driving stakes through the Minds of one another Closing paths Stopping growth Neural pathways destroyed Cloned Somnambulist Sleepwalking off the edge Falling into the black seas of oblivion

Sun Damage 03:10
I inhaled you like water through the nose You stung my throat and I coughed you out felt like warm rays on my skin Until it blistered and burnt Incendiary and offensive relentless and obnoxious Ephemeral, at least, but still regular Blind eudaemonia, if only I could subscribe I worked and worked at myself I fell and fell again The more I work the more I fall The more I fall the closer I get To rock bottom The Only sure thing Sun damage
5.
Zither 03:13
Go run Breathing fire A humiliating Condition useless Pushing you far beyond Good and evil turning away Eyes evading dark adulteries Based on your fear Moving slowly over this and that Console Overwhelming A flash of indifference Learning again
6.
How quickly the light changes No change the world has yelling eyes Turning the gaze Losing perspective, the individual Individual logic The less we talk about the more we have of it How to change the curious The childlike concentric circles of frustration The front line is on the overlaps The fine is on the weakest border Unable to take strain Supercilious muck Unable to take strain Supercilious muck Unable to take strain Never argue with them
7.
Whereof one cannot speak One should remain silent Sitting, back against the door A schizophrenic vampire Burnt in the night and in the day Hot air, pouring out of your mouth Democracy in full fling Finger pointing, blame shifting Unwilling to hold up the mirror But this vampire sees his reflection Good and clear, sees his reflection And laughs, looks out of The window and withers away, Laughing
8.
I chose R I chose R Bounds by our Power and conscience Give up your Natural freedom A war Against all The golden rule The general will What really is the social contract The contract of submission I chose R in m A reason to endure it And comply with R War of all against all
9.
The gift of failure Will make you better Better Better Get out Get out of here Show them your disgust No succeses Failure always Its much more than philosophy Make your target Fail to make your failure Make your target Fail to make your target What doesn’t kil you makes you stringer What doesn’t make you stronger kills you What’ doesn’t kill you makes you stringer What doesn’t make you stronger kills you

Moving Gently Towards The grave Waken the page with fire over The ugliness of nature Wake up and sing with angels Over the chorus of man
