KEN MODE LYRICS

1. A Love Letter

I don't feel bad
For insufferable people
Not everyone has an angel
I am a student of predators

It was a mistake to ask me for help

What would you know
About strength?
What would you know
About greatness?
The longer you talk
The weaker you sound

This is not about you

It was a mistake to ask me for help
I interfere with everything
For no reason at all

I'd like to congratulate you
For buying into
The exact same narrative
As everyone else

This untasteful place
Something is broken
Something is fucked

This was a mistake

This untasteful place
Something is broken
Something is fucked

2. Throw Your Phone in the River

I feel trapped
In my inability to get you through this
I can't let this fall apart
And it hurts too much to do nothing
Can't eat
Can't sleep
Consciousness is destroying me

My eyes are heavy
With no relief
Just rusted anchors
Of frozen meat

Circling a locked groove drain
Failing to drown in its filth
Just burn it all away
Remove me
I'm scared
Scarred

I feel trapped
In my inability to get you through this
I can't let this fall apart
And it hurts too much to do nothing
Can't eat
Can't sleep
Consciousness is destroying me

My eyes are heavy
With no relief
Just rusted anchors
Of frozen meat

3. The Tie

It occurs to me years too late
To spare my lilting ego the trauma
Just how little is being martyred?
How little heart there is left to offer

A lidless eye
Rose red and reeling
Perceiving nothing
Save an endless seething

Even I can't decide
If this is anthem or affect

I think they're getting wise
Or maybe they always knew
That this never actually mattered
At all

4. But They Respect My Tactics

I don't want to become that
Just a lesser version of what you once were
All the while
It feels so painfully arbitrary

I've got nothing worthwhile to say
And you've got no reason to listen

Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform

But this is my story
So I'll narrate myself
As whatever I want to
Hero, victim, victim, hero

I'm just trying to keep
Myself from drowning
No valuable lesson learned
Only loss

Drag me deeper
Strip away everything I hold
All of your failures
Condensed, removed, controlled

Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform

All grow frail and die
No power lasts
Success is fleeting
Existence: temporary

5. Not My Fault

I don't know where to start
This consistent battle
Against unnerving tension
I feel it every day
Within these walls

No matter how hard I try

I seem incapable
Of extracting whatever it is
That is causing the pain
That it spreads

A chill that bores a hole right through
My own sense of self

Unnatural chill to this air
Temperament of unease
Rustling with the wind
My slight squint punctuated
By deepening crow's feet

What have we left?
What have we left.

I seem incapable
Of extracting whatever it is
That is causing the pain
That it spreads

6. Lost Grip

I can't maintain composure
We deserve this
Numbed by the glare

And we deserve this

I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well

We deserve this
And we deserve this

I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well

I don't believe that you mean well
(I'll do anything for money)
I don't believe that you mean well
(I'll say anything for money)
I don't believe that you mean well
(I'll do anything for money)
I don't believe that you mean well
(I'll do anything)

We deserve this
We deserve this
We deserve this

Blacked out
Bloated
Vacant
Expired

We deserve this

All hail unending growth
All hail my wealth

We deserve this

This similar unveiled torture
This extinction moment

We deserve this

A great focus
Then erased
But it really is all about you anyway

This is a dying land and we don't care
This is a dying land and we don't care
We never did
We never did

Suppressing years of tears
With each gasp of the wind

So much life
When all we bring is rot
So much life
When all we bring is rot
So much life
When all we bring is rot
So much life
When all we bring is rot

I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well
I don't believe that you mean well

7. The Desperate Search for an Enemy

Hopeless addict
Of righteous judgment
The desperate search
For an enemy

Pointless delusion
Of my own misgivings
Terminal voyeur
Drain this abscess
Of purposeless greed

Fueled demagogue
Meddling parasite
Tasteless narcissist
Grating sinews
Under clawed grasp
With flies to remind you
Of your own decay

The gnashing of teeth
With no tensile strength
Biteless
Witless
Senseless
Defanged
Hollow
Impotent
Inherent poisonous laziness

And here's that thing
We did before
That you liked so much
Stockpiling
Wholesome memories
And bitter enemies
We just don't care
And it shows

The gnashing of teeth
With no tensile strength
Biteless
Witless
Senseless
Defanged
Hollow
Impotent
Inherent poisonous laziness

Nothing will change
Revolution of ash and piss
A defining moment
Of banal indifference

While none of it matters

8. Unresponsive

I am unraveling
So much faster than I used to
Like distant-blanketed lightning
For the impending storm
With an unnatural tenure
This pure cold wave
Pulsating in its dominance
And eclipsing all focus

You felt it too
Like the beating wings
Of the thrush
You felt it too
Then brings the storm
Without release
Without relief
Then brings the storm
A ruthless simplicity
Of which we've become detached
To usher in our greatest fall

Then brings the storm
Without release
Without relief
Then brings the storm
To usher in our greatest fall

Forgotten
Erased
Unresponsive
Replaced
Abandoned
