---------
losing color from the eye
Losing shelter no goodbye
White concrete
Black flames
Fight complete
Past shames


I saw the way they left this earth
I saw they way they left this earth
Destined to perish from birth
That's something we all unearth

Skim the fire when my curtain calls
Truly dire, Trapped between walls
I test the waters and choose not to be found
I test the waters and stay close to the ground

Id meet the same fate,  but
My family keeps me in place
My friends hear me when i have something to say
My partner gets me through everything
Need something new
Shut down when i can't
Put down when i rant
Smaller than an ant

Want to waste away
Reaching round writhing rays
And grabbing the dark behind
Leave nothing they can find

I touch the ground and feel nothing
Being nowhere is truly crushing
I hurt myself and feel something
Fevered pitches constant humming
End the ring feel it coming
Just a thing Yet so numbing
You're the king so end the shunning
But they all laugh i'm not that cunning
I saw the way they left this earth
I saw the way they left this earth

Stay aware
No one has your best interest 
Not even yourself
Drop the stare
I have no glare to arrest
No good deeds to attest

Grieve the future
The past is now
Tear the suture
Shoot the cow

Black ceiling 
Touch the floor
It’s just a feeling
Down to my core
Pleading guilty
You won't Tell me more
Keeping busy
Because Life’s a chore

Want to Waste Away

Second teaser from forthcoming double EP "Dark Futures in Fluorescent Lights". This project will be my first professionally mixed/mastered release and will be followed by merch, music videos, and release on major streaming platforms <3

Lyrics:
Suffering across the country
Let me tell it lt to you bluntly
Everything we know is wrong
People starving all along
What war have we ever won
What have we solved with your gun
Torture victims just for fun
Bomb their hospitals then their sons
All to line their pockets
Dump it in their market
less they lose control
Unless we take ahold 
Drop the guillotine 
Wanna see them scream
All the lives they took
All the books they cook

Control our information
Control our prices
Discredit education
Hate crime silent
Break our necks and say nothin
Like it didn't happen
Like you hadn't killed them
Prey on poor folk like dogs
They do it once and think they’re gods
Left alone in a dessert 
They’d use up all the sand
Then Blame it on the workers
Justice and demands
Remove these lurkers

Liars Cheaters Parasites
Corrupt malicious leaders

Parasites for Rulers

Solo DIY darkwave, acid techno project from a small apartment in Seattle WA. Remix of an earlier release

We’ve all been through it before
You call the cops with crime at your door
I get robbed they do nothing
Park my car they come rushing
Ticket waving swine
My income is mine
Above reproach
Something you boast
Less than a roach
Something id toast
Im speaking ill of all of you
Of every action every tissue
I'd rather die than back the blue
I'd rather kill myself and see the tickets i accrue

Lower wealth
Lower being
Abnormal health
Abnormal treatment
No laws to abide by
You dont care if you slide by

Jail youth and say its good
Breaking laws everyone should
Fuck your clause fuck your cause
Need applause you're a fraud
Wish you'd go to hell tomorrow
Give commands no one has to follow
Face repercussions and wallow
Neighbor terrorist is a tough pill to swallow
Steal money cash the squad
We need this ended the system is flawed

My barber went to school longer
He hasn't killed anyone either
Funny how i'm gonna trust him more
Funny how power over others isn't something i care for
You best believe they need reform but thats uncalled for
You best believe they flee the scene but thats “accounted for”

Neighbor Terrorist

Solo DIY project from Seattle

Suicide cerebral sent
Doing Durgs since the incident
Awful arrangements and arrogance
It took strength just to stare at this
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence

Where’s your vigor
Where’s your passion
Melted sugar
water splashing
Lost your spine
Still you pine
Accruing victims 
Dispel the contradictions
Ignorance is bliss
Shadows where they hiss
It’s hard to say who will die first
Me or you at your worst
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence

I get seen slapping myself in my car
Sobbing on your doorstep at my job
I'm never happy and innocence seems far
Robbing myself and appealing the mob
Some people aren't meant to be content
Target what i will but its chemical sent
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence
Dry my eyes of innocence

Dry my Eyes

Solo diy project

Wear my heart on my sleeve
It means nothing if I always leave
Theres nothing i need 
Take no time to breathe

Pain
In my chest
Stain
On your dress

Act like i'm innocent
Act like i don't lie
I need to finish this
To come forward and try
 It burns enough to slit wrists
Im not willing to take risks
If it doesn't work, the fallout will come
The fallout will come

I dance where the petals fall
Decay and all

Wear my heart on my sleeve
It means nothing if I always leave
Theres nothing i need 
Take no time to breathe

Leave

Obsessive Anxiety

Ideations

Mercy
Forget
Push
Pull
Push
Pull
Some days im hardly a person
livestock could take my place
I sit in place and let it worsen
Panic shock there's nothing worth doing
Push
Pull
Push
Pull
All i can think about is peeling my face back
Beating myself senseless
 thoughts intrusive 
 thoughts recursive
Breathe my name
Breathe the shame
Push
Pull
Push
Pull
If i had the feet to run
If i had the feet to run
No socializing
No people
No realizing
No feel
Bleed my name
Breathe the  shame
I regret everything i've ever said
Put my neck through a rope
Manic obsessive
Someone to think less of
Gather my sticks
And start a fire
Rather the wicks
Than the prior

IF I HAD THE FEET TO RUN

So High So Low

I Do Care

Drowning

DIY Solo Project from Seattle
https://linktr.ee/festeringwounds

Its a race to the pyre
Understand im not giving in
Just my situations getting dire
Monotone vision monochrome
Let it sink in everyday
Like a bowling ball in a plastic bag
Nerves growing tall while my eyes sag
Living is decay

Poison world
Poison air
Poison food
Poison water
Watch the news
Theres a problem
Its all a ruse
Control the outcome

I try to hide but the problems find me
I try to hide but the problems find me
Look down grip your fist look the other way
Trick your mind to submission look the other way
Head down we drown
Head down cant get any air
Bury me in my problems
Aint no one else gonna solve em

Life makes me sick
Blood from the fingertip
Sew my eyes break my feet
Cutting ties and changing sheets
But thats just the tide
Hell if i know
Problems set to spin
Hell if i know
Problems set to spin
Hell if i know
Problems set to spin

Problems
I got problems

Problems

DIY solo darkwave project from Seattle

Work
Mate
Die

Did i say i want to live
Did i say i want to work

Theyll take your money
Theyll take your life
Watch your back
Theyre all out to get you

You grow to be wary of these crooks
They do everything they can to powder up their looks
Enforced poverty
Im peoples property
Im sick of that
We have no sovereignty
Theres few to trust
And the government aint one of them
In god we front
Grovel over politicians phlegm

Manipulation
We feel it on the ground below
Stipulations
Go back on your lies

Rule with an iron fist
With your armies about
Produce oil and make their list
Show you what our armies about

Work
Mate
Die

Did i say i want to live
Did i say i want to work

Theyll take your money
Theyll take your life
Watch your back
Theyre all out to get you

Lyrics:
I LOVE MY government
I love my government
I love my government with a rope around my neck
I LOVE MY government
I love my government with a rope around my neck
I love my government
I love my government
My right hand on my throat
And 20 bucks to live my life
Im slippin on the bloody sidewalk
Visions of death of every passerby
Misery everywhere we’re her heir
I love the city it smells like burning hair
Take my drugs some im docile enough to work
I beat myself I cry cause i
Love my government
I'm ready to die cause i
Love my government

I love the safety
I love my economics
Im ahead cause i step on everyones toes
My success is power over others
My info comes straight from the president
Did you hear, did you hear what the opposition said?
The tv told me they're all bad people
Bow my head forgive myself at the steeple
cause im always right
Ill blow your dome if you dare say otherwise
Get your get your mind right
We’re all famous in the limelight
I'm rich and a homeowner
Easily do it all again if I started over

The cops come when I’m missing a penny
The army seizes what I wish for
Ethics I don’t know any
Education I don’t need it
I make the best decisions
The politicians tell you
Inside trading nah we’re all psychic
All this wealth I hardly like it
All my cars i hardly drive them
Calloused hands? I'm no worker
Betterment? i'm on a cleanse
The working class i call them friends
Let me make it clearer then
Strip the rich or kill them
Strip the politicians
Make them live our life
Make them felons
Make them poor
Make them kiss the boot
Lick the floor
They've killed millions
And most our country suffers
It's time to take action and make them pay the price
I'm sick of the pain slit their necks twice

I LOVE MY GOVERNMENT

----Lyrics----
Right away I ride away
Run from the lies told today
To grab the tension between
And not know what it really means
To this day i cry about it
To this day i wont lie about it 
Cause I
Don't want to see the suffering
I don't want to be suffering

I'd rather put a hole in my chest than
someone else's
I'm not playing toy soldier someone 
else is
The water no longer drowns me
Im choking on the fucking air
If it's not one 
it's the other
They want them dead but
They're my brothers
You murder people for money but
It's all moral

(help)
(on my knees)

Everything in ruin it will all dust turn to dust
Nothing seems to be true people i cant trust
The world is ending right under our noses
Politicians stop to smell the roses
Im a
Second away from blowing my brains out
Get a Grip
can't shake it off
It's pretty shocking
What they get away with
Deny the ethics and
Discredit plaintiffs
Promise change
And keep everything the same
They want our bodies
They want our blood

I'd rather put a hole in my chest than
someone else's
I'm not playing toy soldier someone 
else is
The water no longer drowns me
Im choking on the fucking air
If it's not one 
it's the other
They want them dead but
They're my brothers
You murder people for money but
It's all moral
