Transmission

Transmission (free) 03:13
This is my transmission Are you there? Can you hear me calling you? If you care to listen Know that this is all that’s left For me to do I don’t need your blessings I don’t need you to understand I just want you to accept this But I’ll survive if that’s something That I can’t have I’m sending out a message I have to go, I know not where I have to do this on my own And you can join me if you dare But I’m not waiting for you This is my admission Of the sins that I’ve committed And will commit again Without remorse, inhibition, or fear I don’t want your forgiveness Only your ear I’m tired of running in circles Wishing that God Would get me right next time I’m sick of searching for purpose I’ve realized that I don’t matter I never mattered; that’s why No, I’m not waiting for you I’m not waiting for you

Gloves 03:32
Slipping into what seeps into me A cognition born of aesthetic Slowly sickening beneath the stench of flesh I have turned to the pure synthetic I embrace this new existence Leaving my identity torn I was born without a choice But through this choice, I am reborn Put on my gloves Converge, assimilate Emerge reincarnate I am made better as I change To become what I admire Disown anatomy Dethrone “reality” I am made better as I change I’ll throw it all away Becoming one with the woven darkness A second skin as I shed the first I reject what has been thrust upon me This vessel soon to harbour my rebirth The tension rises, overrides us And we’re ready to blow Embrace the burn and pretty soon You won’t feel pain anymore It’s moving fast, we won’t outlast But we can do it again So leave your worries at the door and just Breathe

Belonging 03:18
I’ve spent my life believing All along that I was in control But now, I know that as A product of circumstance This flesh has trapped my soul And leaves me Barren to the life I had hoped for Charon, take me in, away from this world Maybe therein I’ll find the peace that I’ve sought As this form is distorted by flames I have been forced Into something that was Never meant to be My mind’s been tainted By something I was Never meant to see I’ll never belong I can hide my face and bury my flesh But my blood the same still flows That I might suffer through This force of belligerence That slowly takes its toll And leaves me Empty to the world of potential It’s left me dying on the steps of the temple To tempt me into my final submission Ever to dwell in despair I’ll leave this behind I won’t be made to crawl like a worm Through the dust of my severed name Their eyes will be blind, their ears deaf To all that I’m leaving to rust And they’ll never know

Hey Girl 03:17
Hey girl I heard about that thing you’re doing Being who you wanted to be And that’s just great, girl I wish I were as brave as you But that’s been shaken right out of me I know there’s nothing I can do to Help prepare you, and there’s Not a thing that I can do to Change your mind I’ll try just the same So, keep your head up And keep your eyes turned down Just keep your head up And keep your feet on the ground And remember that this world is not A pretty place for us So, keep your head up And keep your hopes down Hey girl I don’t know what you think you’re doing Really hope you’re fucking with me ‘Cause you’re insane, girl Look at what you’ve done to yourself Come on now, can’t I get you to see? Don’t know if you’ve already noticed this But sometimes, life’s a living hell for us Did you know one in every twelve of us Will die in an alleyway? I’ll keep my head up Won’t let you bring me down ‘Cause I’m fed up I’m not playing around And this world can be a shitty place And sometimes, you’ll lose the fight Just keep your head up It’s gonna be alright You’re gonna be alright

Stand down Here comes another one Another preacher comes to Consternate me with ignorance Your audacity, misconstrued Sagacity is nauseating Can you perchance see That everyone standing around us Is staring us down? Don’t embarrass me Don’t waste your oxygen On your carcinogen, insipid thunder I won’t still my tongue this time I’m not the specimen of a walking experiment I’m a human being, and I will scream back I can stand on my own two feet I don’t need anyone But I will not stand for this Are you listening? I will not stand for this Here comes another one Another wishing to Interrogate my anatomy You test my patience, friend I’ve no time left to spend on Educating your deficiency Just when did the contents of My pants become your concern? Stay the fuck away from me So, let this be known I’ll fuck with who the fuck I please And if you talk shit I’ll tape your eyes open so you can watch Don’t tell me who the fuck I am And don’t tell me what the fuck I can do with my crotch
