Hate Machine

Raise your eyes
and raise your eyes
to the choking
and distaste
Raise your eyes
as it all comes
crashing down.
Try to breathe in
and remember
yourself

Looking for a way out
And you're sinking

I am the flagship
of moments
of failed actions

Down

They poured us a thick cup
of diversion
and we choke on the hope
as it slides down

Do you feel so safe?

Down

Convenience shot
this vision in the head
and from the wounds
conviction bled

Do you feel so safe?

Try as you might
to scramble to attention
true words
weigh you down
and you're
looking
and you're
searching
and you're
sinking

Down

I am the flagship
of moments
of failed actions
and I am the flagship
of everything
inconsistent

Looking for a way out

It's gonna bring you down

It's time to tear these idle hands
from our throats
we'll drop our anchors deep
and hope

It's gonna bring you down

(sad, sad inconsistent, self-loating, hate machine)
