Thoughtcrimes EP

Asymptomatic alphas amplify aggression
Algorithms aim anger, automate appression

Big-tech bootlickers buy belief and blood
Bankroll broken backs, baptize it in mud

Cracker-cult capitalists, country-club clowns
Cancel-culture cannibals cut carcasses down

Draft-dodgin’ defenders demolish democracy
Data-drunk donors deepfake...

Evangelical echoes echo excess
Egos erect empires, empathy exits

Federal fraudsters, fiscal fiends in disguise
Feeding Fox-fed fantasies, fabricating lies

Gaslighting generals, gospel, greed, and guns
Gig wars, gig work, gold-grilled grins

Hollow heroes hoard headlines, hide history’s hemorrhage
Hashtags, hate-speech, hyperlinked leverage

Insider influence, ivory towers implode
Inflation inflamed, idiots overload

Justice jacked by judges, jaded journalists lie
Jingoistic jesters jam joy till it dies

Kings of kleptocracy kill kindness kwik
Keyboard krusaders kick konscience slick

Lobbyists launder laws like laundromat lye
Luxury lifeboats, letting poor folk die

Media mouthpieces manufacturing myth
Monetized misery marketed bliss

Neo-nostalgic nationalists nail nuance shut
Newsfeed narcotics numb neurons in rut

Oligarchs orchestrate outrage online
Offering opiates, optics, decline

Pizzagate prophets preach paranoia
Patriots posturing, propaganda-gloria

Q-anon quacks quote questionable queries
Quantum quibbles quake quiet qonspiracies

Recession rebels rig rules in the rain
Revolution rewritten, rinse, repeat pain

Social feeds spit sermons, sell synthetic souls
Silicon saints steal seconds, scrolling control

Taxpayer tears trickle to tycoon towers
Truth traded, tongues tied, talk-show cowards

Unhinged unions under ultra-rich reign
Utility undone, unemployed in pain

Viral villains virtue-signal for views
Voting vaporized, values confused

Warhawks waltz with Wall Street wives
Welfare wilted while wealth survives

Xenophobic xylophones xenon-lit loud
X-rated X-ecs exploit the crowd

Youth yoked yearly, yearning, yet yielding
YouTube yuppies yawning, your hope congealing

Zero-sum zealots zip through zones
Zion, Zuck, and zombies - welcome home!

Alphabet dystopics, acrobatic autopsy
Every letter bleeds with a creed of hypocrisy

Alphabet Dystopics

[verse]
Load the truth, they duck
’Cause a thought from the gut hits harder when I chuck
Power in the pen, they cluck
Revolution in the lungs when you breathe then puff
Walk in, kings go quiet
’Cause a mind on fire shuts down any tyrant
Look sharp, think sharp, get paid
Every scar on my soul is a feature, not a glitch in the frame

Don’t move how the crowd’s been trained
Don’t chase trends just to die in the chain
Don’t bow to a throne or a flag or a name
If a voice in da chest says “no,” refrain
Whole world screaming “fall in line”
But I’d rather stand wrong than be right on time
Rather walk broke with my own design
Than be paid in full with a rented spine

They want faith in the screen, not self
Want you scrolling for worth while they harvest your health
Sold us doubt, then sold us help
Then they sold us gods they keep on the shelf
Trust that whisper under the riot
The still, small voice when the timeline’s violent
You can’t buy that, can’t brand that, silence
So they drown it in noise and call it “guidance”

[hook]
Kick down doors, they scatter
Cuz a brain on a beast hits harder than the adder
Feel good, look good, win fights
Cuz a mind with a weapon outlives nine lives
We rise, they hide
Shake the room when I step inside
Think big, talk big, full might on the mic
Cuz a rebel with a purpose is a motherfucking landslide

[verse]
Laugh at the state, they panic
Cuz a man who can think is a glitch mechanic
Cheap suits praying over metrics
Modern-day Rome burns while they dull their ethics
Da whole West running on debt and denial
Campaign smiles over priest-file trials
King for a day with a headline title
Rot ruinin' the core, but the crown goes viral

They don’t want lions, they want livestock grazing
Timeline glazin, dopamine dazing
Schools raisin drones while the boss drops wages
And the news plays both sides of the stages
Truth becomes contraband, thought is illegal
Cameras on lampposts “for the safety of the people”
Human rights on lease with a fine-print easel
Sign here, bleed slow, make freedom illegal

Screens in the pews, saints on the payroll
Preachers in sneakers sellin stock-tip halos
Golden calf every Sunday's stage show
Bless that bag, let the poor die faithful
Glaze every eye with wires and waves
Every word, every search, every step we take
Clown world run by professional fakes
Watch the empire crack while the circus plays

Don't be scared of the end, be patient
Every rotten kingdom falls when the rot hits the basement
History’s savage but it ain’t complacent
Every proud layer gets levelled by the nameless
We ain’t sheep, we’re wolves in borrowed sheep's clothes
Every lie stacked high till the sorrow explodes
Rather eat dirt than swallow what I’m told
When a puppet runs the world that's when the fire takes hold

[hook]
Kick down doors, they scatter
Cuz a brain on a beast hits harder than the adder
Feel good, look good, win fights
Cuz a mind with a weapon outlives nine lives
We rise, they hide
Shake the room when I step inside
Think big, talk big, full might on the mic
Cuz a rebel with a purpose is a motherfucking landslide

Landslide

Very little is ever just one thing...
