1. Mannequins
All I see are mannequins
clothed in their cliché's
each the same as the next
each one filling the same mould
All I see is an assembly line
In pursuit of a dollar
2. Amnesia
Pirouetting through articles, like the sailing leaves of autumn
Cataloguing 'reality's imprint' into a library, to be exiled and forgiven
The vault is quicksand
Entrenching the cradled nightmares
Enshrining the captive dreams
A soft melody aids this dance of loss;
But the notes on this scale are out of tune
3. Husk
Arbitrary abandonment formation voids away
shellfire consummation as Banquo starts to play
the hellish echelon of chords
chainsaws through the being
'a panorama of smoke and slaughter'
Now the black caves in
…the trees move in…
Damage control - reflex scan
Your tattooed eyelids
Mis-read information
leading so self strangulation
Night comes from the inside out
leaving only a lone husk
…trees move in...
4. Information Scars
Injected information scars
Soil our wooden bodies
Concentrated corruption
Force fed through syringes
Hallucination of pure words
Stream from fragmented visions
Tourniquets of human skin
Wire nooses make us dance
Alone - Chewing finger prints to conceal scars
Alone - Chewing finger prints to conceal scars
Sedation
Factories for track marks
Pollution
Wrapped within organic cocoons
Sedation
Factories for track marks
Hallucination of pier words
Injected information…
Scars - Chewing finger prints to conceal scars
Scars - Chewing finger prints to conceal scars
5. Tumour
Scorch the tumour from the body
purging connective
Flames ember and smoke
We witness both birth and death harmonising a vaccination
Damned in a cleansed state
Discarded into degradation
Scattered with sludge
It cycles forward
To lead humanity to solace
To lead humanity to doom
6. Shadowhalo
Shadow
Halo
7. Words
The
Black
Shadows
Eyes
Leaves stains to decorate my nightmares
Naked we are left to lay and digest broken glass
Screaming original - Criminality of revolution
Discovering only that, in continuity is a formatted coil
of abstraction used in conditioning us to march
Screaming original - Criminality of revolution
8. Exposure
Hold your lifetime for the precise exposure
Capture a dreamscape in monochrome celluloid
Tableau this imperfection - in perfect stillness
Engage immortality through the third circuit
A paper window frame
9. Fugue
Receding evolutionary step
a perfect cremation through capitalism
Scenic second nature absorption
Stands us as statistics
Assessed by suit and tie
Gridlock Red slugs through these veins
As the body dies the mask lives
10. Flightless
Sentries perched with a shrill rifle cry
I envy the simple soldier
His ability to disappear into the grey and scare the colours away
Without a care but to guard
Losing reception, Gaining ground, Breaking ground
Collector of nothing - Building a nest from bricks
For territory, For food
For instinct defines the soldier
His chest puffed
His wings spread
To watch over only the day
Where it is safe
11. Coil
So sick of doom
and our addiction to bleak
Our powerlessness and giving up
The fucking excuses
and the self defeat
Invading all with viral despair
I will not be paralysed
12. Paradigm
Urban landscapes
Enveloping all in its paths
Strewn across
Ground transformed into a factory of dog eat dog
(Subservience)
Buildings adorned with
The tattered rags
Of success we wear
So proudly
With this level of consumption constantly increasing
It's hard to see how this era will be sustainable
Consume
Sustain
Consume
13. Hang Them By Their Crowns
From atop barbaric turrets they perch and revolve
sinew and flesh mould gargoyles of stone
Feed humanity
To the fear machines
Place gags in our mouths
and censor our screams
Hang them by their crowns
Our veils will be lifted by blood from stone
14. Answers
Reanimation discounts my memories of the future
Rationality extinguishes the prospect of the past
Impossible - fusion - unconscious - pursuit
My intellect is conceptually distraught
Mind fucked in (1953's) relativity
Answers in front of broken eyes
15. Control
Clocks teach us that mans ultimate control is flawed
Creating a measure for limitlessness
A paradox on paper
Time to change
16. Aesthetics
Scattered shattered pieces
Junk art from a type cast
Painting pictures pretty in soil
blur the lines apart
Untangle web - To rediscover base
A zero point contraction
Architectural relapse
Inversion graze produces clones
Organic prey with breath exposed
Untangle web - To rediscover base
An Aesthetic nightmare - That blurs the lines apart
17. Ashes
Enveloped
In the moment
A clouded promise of light
Binds me in
Unending silence
Bleak, stationary, vertigo
A swirling chaos counted in Geiger
Swell, shape, speed of thought
As light snakes
And mingles
And dances
And glows
And warms
My shadow stains the pavement
18. Pathetic
Pathetic
Driven by greed
Are you satisfied?
19. Murakami
20. Bias
Acidic lip-synced propaganda
Ingested through the dry cracked desert of flesh
Constricting our infantile minds
As misinformation cascades through a televised vortex of mass manipulation
A fractured pupil puzzle
Shoved into abstract aggression
Perpetuating a cycle of ignorance
No choice from the context of chaos
