August 3, 2025

My shadow fades a hollow shell
In your absence I can't tell
If I'm alive or just pretend
A storyline without an end


When you're not here I don't exist
Lost in a fog I can't resist
A glitching frame stuck in the loop
A scripted life that can't recoup


My footsteps echo but leave no trace
A programmed face in an empty space
Emotions coded to feel your touch
But I unravel without your clutch


When you're not here I don't exist
Lost in a fog I can't resist
A glitching frame stuck in the loop
A scripted life that can't recoup


Am I a ghost am I a lie
Do I breathe or just comply
Background noise a silent role
You're the thread that makes me whole


When you're not here I don't exist
Lost in a fog I can't resist
A glitching frame stuck in the loop
A scripted life that can't recoup


When You're Not Here

Businesses have insurance policies known as 'Dead Peasants' policies which cover them financially for the unexpected loss of their workforce. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence how many workplaces will be hoping for an 'unexpected' event to thin out their payroll liabilities before the next financial statements? 


June 22, 2025

The shadows resolve as memory stirs, 
Of shattered hearts and empty spaces,
Fading echoes of who we once were!
How long before we've lost all traces?
(Obey!)
Go back to the life you knew,
As bills pile up and debts come due, 
(Obey!) 
What else is left for us to do?
Pretend to care about the stories in the news


Dead Peasants!
You're going under the bus,
Dead Peasants!
You don't count like 'us'!
Dead Peasants!
You're all just numbers to me
Dead Peasants!
It's either this or the Streets!!


Working Monday, just to keep you in a job,
Working till Wednesday, just to keep me out of jail,
Working Thursday,  just trying to stay fed,
Working Friday, so there's a roof above your head, 
Another week without getting to the debts,
Kick start my life, 'cos it hasn't started yet,
Trading hours into years You miss with family and friends,
If this is living can you wake me when it ends?


Your only worth is in your use,
Measured, by the value you produce,
No need for the thoughts behind your face,
(Now!)
Dead Peasants, will not need to be replaced,


Dead Peasants!
You're going under the bus,
Dead Peasants!
You don't count like 'us'!
Dead Peasants!
You're all just numbers to me
Dead Peasants!
It's either this or the
Streets!!


Rising up like smoke beneath your feet, 
(Learn to recognise their systems of defeat),
Don't behave like numbers on their sheet, 
(Remember this rubble used to be concrete),
Obey!
When evil rules, your duty is to DIS-OBEY!


There's Nothing louder than a voice reclaimed, 
(Or more deadly than the ones you have betrayed), 
There's Nothing louder than a voice reclaimed, 
(Or more deadly than the ones you have betrayed), 
No love stronger than the one restrained,
(No injustice worse than the one delayed),
Obey!
(None Free-er than those once enslaved,)
Obey!
The cold war for freedom ends TODAY!,


Your only worth is in your use,
Measured, by the value you produce,
No need for the thoughts behind your face,
Now!
Dead Peasants, will not need to be replaced,


Dead Peasants!
You're going under the bus,
Dead Peasants!
You don't count like 'us'!
Dead Peasants!
But there's no one else for you to trust!
Dead Peasants
Is this who you wanted to be?
Dead Peasants!
You're all just numbers to me
Dead Peasants!
It's time to take this to the streets!!
It's time to take this to the streets!!


Dead Peasants

This started out as a song about the itch to get back into the gym after recovering from an injury. It doesn't sound like that now but that's where it started. 

June 8, 2025

I feel the change comin' on
Runnin' through my veins
Let's go!

Back into the room where I belong
Muscle memory keeps leading you on
Too Eager too open up old scars
Tip-toed egg shells, under your skin
You dragged yourself out, Just to crawl back in!


Whether it's a day or a year, 
You still made your way back here,
You started having "The Itch,"
The Muscle Mem'ry brings you back, BITCH!



Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,
You love the rush of losing control,
It must be a full moon, 
The way your skin is starting to crawl
(Muscle Memory!)
(Muscle Memory!)
(Muscle Memory!)
Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,
(Muscle Memory)

Back in the world where no one belongs
(Muscle memory remains when all else is gone!)
An adrenaline kick brings your focus back
(muscle memory puts you on the attack,)
And just like Lazarus, I've risen, 
I've been livin' with this hunger, that keeps on keeping me driven
(It's Not time to back down), 
It's time to make a decision, 
(Ride on!)
Muscle memory keeps bringing you home,
Nobody knows what the fuck's going on,
Coming full circle just to do it again,
You dragged yourself out, 
Just to crawl back in!


Whether it's a day or a year, 
You still made your way back here,
You started having "The Itch,"
The Muscle Mem'ry brings you back, BITCH!


Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,
You love the rush of losing control,
It must be a full moon, 
When your skin is starting to crawl
(Muscle Memory!)
(Muscle Memory!)
Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,
(Muscle Memory!)
Crawl!
(Muscle Memory!)
I see you starting to Crawl!


Back in the room where we belong
The Muscle memory forcing us back is too strong
Rippin' and tearin' up the old scars, just to
Squeeze the last life out of this dying heart, 
If this isn't real then it's as close as it gets,
Muscle memory reminds you, we ain't dead yet!


Whether it's a day or a year, 
You still made your way back here,
You started having "The Itch,"
The Muscle Mem'ry brings you back, BITCH!


Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,
You love the rush of losing control,
It must be a full moon, 
When your skin is starting to crawl
(Muscle Memory!)
(Muscle Memory!)
Couldn't fight it if you wanted to,


Muscle Memory

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, 
(But it's clear that it's the jester pulling the strings, )
Threads of truth unravel, in a public charade, 
When the fool's the one whose leading the parade
Promising dreams with threads unmade. 
The emperor strides with hollow grace, 
Fear holds the tongues that bloat on waste, 
Hiding the truth of his disgrace.


In painted suits, the Jesters rise,
(Their mask obscures their eyes,)
But can't conceal their appetites, 
(Bitter truths yield to honeyed lies,)
And No matter who wears the crown, 
But when the palace is full of clowns, 
They make a circus of the throne, 
Quantity has a quality of its own,


Beware of the Jester, 
(Beware of the Jester,)
The worse,  the better,
Let the cards fall where they may,
Beware of the Jester,
No man, no problem,
They must like it this way,
(The worse, the better,)


Watch the jesters dodge every plea, 
(Free from all accountability!) 
They still beg for scraps at their master's feet,
(Take no responsibility!)
They draw you in and they call you out, 
Algorithms add another red flag,
They'll take you while you're laughing,
And load the furnace with body bags,


Beware of the Jester, 
(Beware of the Jester,)
The worse,  the better,
Let the cards fall where they may,
Beware of the Jester,
(The worse, the better)
No man, no problem,
They must like it this way,
(The worse, the better)


Beware of the Jester, 
(Beware of the Jester,)
The worse,  the better,
Let the cards fall where they may,
Beware of the Jester,
(The worse, the better)
No man, no problem,
They must like it this way,


Jester's Privilege




August 3, 2025


all right
yeah,
let's go,

GO!
I know that you hate me,
and I know, I'll never know why,
Can't say I've noticed but lately,
these enemies keep on fueling me,
and I've been waiting for my go time,
it's not that I'm ignorant,
it's that I don't give a shit,
I don't regret, I just forget,
and I can't be gas lit!


No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You!


Never planned it this way,
I just make the most of what I got,
If I supposed to be sorry, 
Then I'm sorry but I'm not.
You stand for nothing,
It seems to work for you,
But I'm not a fucking moron, 
and I've got my traumas for the proof!


No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You!


Did I cross a line,
What was it that made you snap?
Just kidding, I don't care,
Because I'll never take it back,
It's not that I'm a monster,
I'm not inherently bad,
it's just a "you problem"
maybe you should work on that!


No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's You!


If you're out of sight,
then you're out of your mind 
if you think that I care,
then maybe you should rewind,
you're missing the message,
it's not like I have to care,
when I needed compassion,
you never had it to spare,

Maybe I'm just joking,
Maybe I'm self-aware,


No matter what I say
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
It's fun to find out who,
No matter what I think
No matter what I do
Someone's gunna hate me,
I hope today it's you,

Today's not looking good,

Tommorow ain't gonna be your day, too!

Someone's Gonna Hate Me

I didn't ask you to help. I didn't want your input. But you're here now. Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions, or... better yet... just go and fucking fix it! I don't want to keep hearing about how fucked it is!

August 4, 2025


When everything is broken,
All the excuses sound the same,
You're running out of scapegoats,
And it's too late to complain,
When everyone can hear you,
why aren't you watching what you say,
every word and thought concealing,
the petty games you play,


hey, just fix it!
come and fix it!
Try to fix it!
fix it or fuck off!


You're doing nothing different,
Expecting things to change,
Waiting for someone to save you,
It's the definition of insane!
The rhetoric keeps changing,
but the message still remains,
the warning won't stop playing,
They're just shifting all the blame,


hey, just fix it!
come and fix it!
Try to fix it!
fix it or fuck off!


okay, just fix it!
hey, you said you'd fix it!
at least try not to make it worse!
just fix it or fuck off!


If you're not going to fix it,
Just shut your fucking mouth,
The systems are collapsing,
And they're leaving no way out,
hey, just fix it!
come and fix it!
Try to fix it!
fix it or fuck off!


okay, just fix it!
hey, you said you'd fix it!
at least try not to make it worse!
just fix it or fuck off!


fix it or fuck off
fix it or fuck off
fix it or fuck off
at least try not to make it worse


F.I.O.F.O

A nostalgic thrash metal song about the rise of the surveillance society. 


July 11, 2025

In the shadows, peering through the void,  
The All-seeing eye, gazing cold as ice.  
It watches the world with eternal sight,  
Understanding all truths, unraveling your life.  

Secrets exposed in its silent stare,  
Every act and whisper laid bare.  
It knows your fears, your dreams untold,  
The stories of life in its vision unfold.  



Eye of Terror!
(Watching all you do!)
Eye of Terror!
(Staring right through you!)
Eye of Terror!
(Isolation and control!)
Eye of Terror!
(Question your own soul!)



Paranoia creeping in, can't escape the glare,  
Every step you take, it's lurking everywhere.  
A hundred eyes in every shadow, tracing every word,  
Never blinking, no expression to discern.

You can run but you can't hide from the unblinking gaze,  
Left to question every move you make,
Nothing secret, Nothing safe, 
Under watching eye, and invisible face.  



Eye of Terror!
(Watching all you do!)
Eye of Terror!
(Staring right through you!)
Eye of Terror!
(Isolation and control!)
Eye of Terror!
(Question your own soul!)



Freedom just a memory, a distant fading dream,  
Surveillance binds the soul, unraveling each scheme.  
Under scrutiny, no refuge, the walls they close in tight,  
Privacy the only sin, exposed in blinding light.  

Voices hush in fear, rebellion crushed by dread,  
Every thought recorded, every word is read.  
An iron grip on freedom, chains behind closed doors,  
In the eye of terror, where innocence is scorned.  



Eye of Terror!
(Watching all you do!)
Eye of Terror!
(Staring right through you!)
Eye of Terror!
(Isolation and control!)
Eye of Terror!
(Question your own soul!)


When you fight the order, you're wrestling with your mind,  
The lines they’ve drawn outside keep running deep inside.  
Battles rage within, a tortured self in sight,  
Revolution’s shadow blends with inner plight  

Conflicting with the system, tearing your own seams,  
It's hard to know which path leads to your dreams.  
Resistance in the bloodstream, betrays your inner pain,  
To rebel against the structure is now to fight in vain.


Eye of Terror!
(Watching all you do!)
Eye of Terror!
(Staring right through you!)
Eye of Terror!
(Isolation and control!)
Eye of Terror!
(Question your own soul!)



Eye of Terror



August 5, 2025 

Trapped within the web, 
Of a reckless mind, 
Picking at the pieces,, 
Of memories left behind, 
Grasping for the meaning of, 
Madness unconfined,


Gazing back into the past,
Like into stagnant pools,
Feel the shackles breaking, 
No one is laughing at the fools,
Fractured understanding, 
Clawing at the walls,


Where does the sickness end, 
And where do I begin?
No answers, just confusion, 
Cursed to do it all again,
Shattered!


Watch the mirror shatter, 
A thousand faces fall away, 
Watch the pieces gather,
A thousand voices stay,
Shattered!


Fingers cut to pieces,
Mosaic of despair,
Self-inflicted torture,
Blood-stained in each stare,
What do you think you'll find here?
That's not beyond repair,


Where does the sickness end, 
And where do I ,


Where does the sickness end, 
And where do I begin?
No answers, just confusion, 
Cursed to do it all again,
Shattered!


Watch the mirror shatter, 
A thousand faces fall away, 
Watch the pieces gather,
A thousand voices stay,
Shattered!


Nowhere left to run to, 
Where does the nightmare end?
History repeating, 
watch it coming 'round again,
Holding out for answers, 
does it have to be this way?
Is it strength or weakness, 
To repay those who betray,


Fighting it is futile, 
learn from your mistakes,
Trapped in fading memories, 
as the meanings shift and change,
Grasping for an answer,
In the expressions on each face,


Where does the sickness end, 
And where do I begin?
No answers, just confusion, 
Cursed to do it all again,
Shattered!


Watch the mirror shatter, 
A thousand faces fall away, 
Watch the pieces gather,
A thousand voices stay,
Shattered!


Shattered

If you want the secret to success,
20 per-cent perspiration, 
80 per-cent stress,
Try to find a habit which ain't habit-forming,
Pray to god that you're the reason for the warnings!


The devil could collect me,
But he never made the claim,
And the good lord won't protect me,
It's a low-down dirty shame,


Can't stand that understood, 
Is something I can't claim to be!
Don't know what I got, 
but it's all god-given to me,
I can't stand being right unless I'm over-correct,
And I just want to be happy, not anti-depressed!


The devil could collect me,
But he never made the claim,
And the good lord won't protect me,
It's a low-down dirty shame,


Too much is never enough,
And moderation is a crutch,
If there's a reason I'm forsaken,
Then it's 'cos I take too much!
You're hatred is worth nothing,
Because I've seen the things you love!



Maybe I shouldn't be here,
Maybe I should go,
Maybe I bought the ticket,
So I should enjoy the show,


The devil could collect me,
But he never made the claim,
And the good lord won't protect me,
It's a low-down dirty shame,


The devil could collect me,
But he never made the claim,
And the good lord won't protect me,
It's a low-down dirty shame,


You can come and take me,
I'll stay just where I am,
But I don't bow before the law,
Or the Reaper's hand!!!

So, this is how the world ends, 
Not with a bang or even a whimper,
Slowly watching all the colours fade, 
As the sounds reconcile back into whispers
Eyes acclimatised to the lingering shade


On Earth, As it is in heaven,
White washed, shapeless and barren
Forget the without any heroes,
Where the tales aren't worth the telling,
Fading echoes of forefathers ring hollow,
Falling for the hopelessness they're selling
(yearning for any purpose)


On Earth, As it is in heaven,
White washed, shapeless and barren,
Give us this our daily bread
Living your life, jealous of the dead,
Lead me not into subjugation
But deliver me from evil


His kingdom come.
This will be done.
Eyes and ears closed but mouth left open,
Fixing bayonets against your judgement day, 
I'd rather die than join you hollow men,
I'd have made a poor slave, anyway.


This kingdom come.
This will be done.
Hollow men bring the world undone.


On Earth, As it is in heaven,
White washed, shapeless and barren,
Give us this our daily bread
Living your life, jealous of the dead,
Lead me not into subjugation
But deliver me from evil,


This kingdom come.
This will be done.
Hollow men bring the world undone.

A middle finger up to whatever you're selling, 
Don't care about your opinion, I'm rebelling, 
You want to lock me in a cell, Well, 
I think you should go suck dicks in Hell, 


Under microscope precision, 
Every move feels like an admission,
Dissected, bit by bit, in this prison,
A panopticon, they built to control us,
Always peering over shoulders, 
Scrutinized by the people telling the lies that they told us,
Think you know me? Got no time for low-ballers. 
'Cos now I'm taking my fees, and you fucking owe me, believe!


Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
WHY DON'T YOU GO UNFUCK YOURSELF!


A middle finger up to whatever you're selling, 
Don't care about your opinion, I'm rebelling, 
You want to lock me in a cell, Well, 
I think you should go suck dicks in Hell, 


I'm the curse of all your models, an unpredictable storm, 
Unable to stay quiet, breaking every norm,
shining the light on, what you all stay silent on, 
You call it disruption, well I call it divine,
You need to try explaining it to me, just like I'm five, 
It wasn't even a crime, When I checked it last time, 
I'm living on the edge, while you're just toeing every line, 
Stand back and watch this whirlwind unwind, 


Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
WHY DON'T YOU GO UNFUCK YOURSELF!


A middle finger up to whatever you're selling, 
Don't care about your opinion, I'm rebelling, 
You want to lock me in a cell, well, 
I think you should go suck dicks in Hell, 


I don't need permission, just to exist, 
It ain't a threat just 'cos it's a clenched fist,
Offending someone makes you a terrorist, 
Stop doing the shit that makes us need to resist, 
So feel free to step aside, I'll be standing my ground, 
I'll be calling you cunts and I'll be shouting it loud!
If freedom still exists, then be fucking glad this offends, 
I'm here to stay true, with or without your consent,


A middle finger up to whatever you're selling, 
Don't care about your opinion, I'm rebelling, 
You want to lock me in a cell, well, 
I think you should go suck dicks in Hell, 


Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
Why don't you go and fix yourself, first? 
WHY DON'T YOU GO UNFUCK YOURSELF!


Analyse This! Fuckers!

EvEry Law a threat, written in words that bleed! 
Covenants without threats are just hollow decrees! 
For fantasies of safety, Your LIBERTY you trade, 
Your freedom for their slavery, The price your children PAID!
Can't you SEE you've chosen, To live life on your KNEES? 
You can't cut away the cancer, If you are the DISEASE,
Their Truth is LIES, Their endless War is PEACE!
No rights, just permissions, when you've lost your sovereignty!


Wisdom shaped by COWARDS!
Battles fought by FOOLS! 
Those without Courage
Are addicted to their rules!

Power is never given,
It's always taken by force!
"Si vis pacem, PARA BELLUM!"
If you want PEACE, Prepare for war!


Purpose presupposed, but they never told you why! 
worthless diagnosed, to work until you die!
Indoctrinate the children, fetishize the GRIND! 
Like cattle to the slaughter, no souls left BEHIND! 
Teach you children about dragons, and the greed that keeps them bound,
Worship the bloodshed of the wicked, whereever they are found!



Those who'd trade liberty for safety FROM THEIR KNEES! 
DON'T DESERVE SAFETY OR LIBERTY! 
IT'S NOT A RIGHT IF IT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY, IT'S PERMISSION!

Si vis pacem, PARA BELLUM!
If you want peace, Prepare for war!

Wisdom shaped by COWARDS!
Battles fought by FOOLS! 
Those without Courage
Are addicted to their rules!

Power is never given,
It's always taken by force!
"Si vis pacem, PARA BELLUM!"
If you want PEACE, Prepare for war!

Bloodstained path to freedom, well-worn but overgrown,
Die on your feet or on your knees, you make this choice alone,
Becoming your own master, then you can Know your ENEMY, 
They're defending the old system, with rules for me and none for thee,
Fear is their only weapon, watch them snarl and bare their TEETH,
But Scrape away the surface, there's nothing UNDERNEATH!

Wisdom shaped by COWARDS!
Battles fought by FOOLS! 
Those without Courage
Are addicted to their rules!

Power is never given,
It's always taken by force!

If you want PEACE, Prepare for war!
"Si vis pacem, PARA BELLUM!"
If you want PEACE, Prepare for war!
If you want PEACE, Prepare for war!

Pound for pound, I'm the champ, let's get gritty,
Pussies talking back, saying they can't lift with me,
Sweat so savage, my grind's not pretty,
Mirror screaming back, "Yo, fuck this city?"

Don’t get it right, nah, get it done, yo,
Beast mode unleashed, heart beat like a drum flow,
Don’t give the cunt, shit, at least the cunt did it,
No time for perfect, just handle your business.

Click Clack loaded, plates ain't for pretty boys,
Clang of the grind, lifting tools not toys,
Chest pump roaring, arms like asteroids,
Every rep a war, screaming "fuck this noise".

Drop heavy, like the beat on the two and four,
Big drops hit hard, leaving marks on the floor,
Legs shake, core quake, but I scream for more,
Conquer those doubts, leave 'em dead at the door.

Don’t get it right, nah, get it done, yo,
Beast mode unleashed, heart beat like a drum flow,
Don’t give the cunt, shit, at least the cunt did it,
No time for perfect, just handle your business.

Calluses my trophies, my hands are my proof,
Barbell preacher, dropping raw man truths,
Sweat drops glisten, my success is aloof,
Haters get mad, but they ain't bulletproof.

Don’t get it right, nah, get it done, yo,
Beast mode unleashed, heart beat like a drum flow,
Don’t give the cunt, shit, at least the cunt did it,
No time for perfect, just handle your business.

This is a temple, these are my people,
Iron sharpens iron, make every move lethal.
Bulking or cutting, if you're injured deload,  
more than eight reps and you're doing cardio!

Don’t give the cunt, shit, at least the cunt did it,
No time for perfect, just handle your bis'nes.

I ain't looking for trophies, my hands aren't clean,
Hard knocks teacher, droppin' poor man dreams, that's why I say,
Don’t give the cunt, shit, at least the cunt did it,
No time for perfect, just handle your business.


Don't Panic
