Muzzled

All behold our new god Who was sent by Mother Nature To save our souls And the planet The offspring of a hammerhead Came to Earth to sacrifice its life And wash away our Environmental sins Something happened to this shark That I cannot explain and Virgin births don't happen every day So I think this must be a miracle Everyone gather round And bear witness to the sacrifice That was made By our new god A stingray took away its life For the carbon footprints of the world And forgiveness For the ones to come

Give me your attention please I have lots of tiny distractions They will make you feel something Whether or not it is good or bad Never mind the suffering Or the ways in which we could solve it Just lie back and relax while I Tell you how you are supposed to think I can show you how to defend anything And get people to react We will celebrate and drink their sour grapes While they fight to undermine themselves This is an emergency But you can pretend that it isn't there We will bring out a thin blonde To make it seem like it's all trivial She will find you one or two Examples to disprove that it exists Then you can show all your friends A scarecrow that still doesn't have a brain

I live in a skewed reality full of alternative facts Propaganda and emotions are fueling constant attacks We no longer have a need to think for ourselves anymore Everyone knows that is what we have press conferences for We no longer need a dictionary to know what things mean And we don't need scientists saving lives with a vaccine They've got brand new definitions So illusions can seem real Laws will have interpretations That make it easy to steal They've got brand new definitions To inform you how to feel Laws will be crafted for them to Make it easy to conceal We no longer have a need to question those in government Anyone who questions them will receive a punishment We no longer need a constitution when creating laws All that really matters now is the sound of mass applause

During the Summer of Greed, a new guru appeared To show us how we are meant to live Hatred is all the rage to a populist Scapegoats will sometimes eat canned applause Everyone knows we make our best decisions when We are feeling angry and afraid The audience of Dunning–Kruger was in full effect Whatever they believed was now the "best" If we all decide to calm down And start thinking through things in rational ways We would never learn not to love A large part of the fear That motivates us to turn against the world Is we don't want to cease to exist He would not be our first choice, that we can tell you We're desperate to end the status quo All of the flyover states were now in full swing Eventually, the pendulum comes back Christ-inspired legislation will put lepers on the Endangered Pre-Existing Condition Act The anosognosia of everyday life will Keep the cycle of violence alive

What a rush! What a thrill! It seems like nothing else could fit the bill What prowess! Superb skill! Those are very large shoes for one to fill What presence! What a voice! Just the sound of it makes us all rejoice What appeal! Superb charm! There is no way he could ever do us harm Is he super human or is he just a man? His name precedes all of his deeds Is he somehow god-like or is he typical? It all depends on what we believe What a fraud! What a scam! He is the wolf to our sacrificial lamb What prowess? There's no skill He'll just bullshit us and make us foot the bill We're absent! We're voiceless! He will exploit us in times of great distress What a prick! There's no tact! That is not a good way for one to act

It's my lucky day! I look just like a criminal Picked up by police and thrown Into a lineup Someone whom I've never met Tells them that it was me Then they put me in a cell And throw away the key Lucky me! I'm subjected to police brutality! They kick me when I am down Despite all of my pleas Innocent or not, you get The same exact treatment Because you're guilty until they Can prove your innocence Get out your torch And your pitchfork It feels good to punish perceived enemies We can reassure ourselves at least we are not them Happy birthday to me! I've been locked in here for years No one came to visit me Because they were scared Out of sight, out of mind It's what we tell ourselves This helps us forget about the ones We sent to hell

Jane Doe was in a partying mood Tonight was not a night to be subdued She heard about a party from a friend And told her she'd be happy to attend As the night lingered on She grew tired and started to yawn Then "Prince Charming" took her hand It was clear that she could barely stand Suddenly, she drifted off to sleep And "Prince Charming" turned into a creep After 20 minutes of action She woke up and found out what he had done As her tears turned into RAINN She feared he would try to shift the blame And to make matters worse He'd find many ways to asperse The rock missed the glass ceiling again And hit an Overton window In the national locker room A safe space for all assholes

about

Pet Shop Fashion Colorado

Coitus, pharmaceuticals, and whatever Alan Freed's ghost calls my music.

These rough recordings are some musical ideas I've had over the years. The process is very slow because I'm doing everything on my own - guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, recording, mixing, etc. I hope to someday record them again with a band and maybe play them live. Until then, enjoy listening to my creative process. ... more
