Hell in a Cell

When we seek to strike a balance among opposites, we imply it’s impartial.
Is it one to one? Do measures still apply? Differences unquantified.
Fighting, feinting, falling; figments of imagination fail upon examination.
The threat is mythologized and manufactured.
Both sides. Equal. In kind.
Truth finds its way in time.
Who’s conflating? What use in blaming both sides in kind?
When the actual facts are found, they land without a sound.
While waiting, every second calls us home; the ticking of a metronome.
Both sides. Equal. In kind.
Truth finds its way in time.
Who’s conflating? What use in blaming both sides in kind?

Fuck You Pay Me

I chose this? What did I do?
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.
I take the money, you get the time.
I’m an ass in your seat, but the mind is mine.
Bodied by mindlessness; what to do?
Turning a screw for the revenue.
Educated, specialized working poor.
An absence of presence; you get what you pay for.
No change. Every day the same. Workplace Occupation.
I made a bet that I regret.
Nothing to show but the extra debt.
It’s like a chain on my neck,
Going insane just to gain respect.
No change. Every day the same. Workplace Occupation.
It’s hard to rise when you start in a hole.
The time flies and it takes your soul..
I don’t know what I’ve done
Just want more than dissatisfaction.
Someone I don’t recognize
Every expectation downsized.

And Stay Out

Some things don’t show their age;
They’ve stayed unchanged all these years.
We never fall too far from the things that made us who we are.
Some leave, some stay.
We drift but never stay away.
Say you feel it and you always will
If it’s real, it’s part of you still
A home’s more than a place
A state of mind, not a point in space
They say you can’t go back?
Bullshit, we carry it.
Home is not just a place to go
Can’t learn what you already know
Once you wind up where you belong
You’re never really gone
Unbroken, unplanned
Can’t explain if they won’t understand
I stay, you leave.
It won’t change what we believe.
A home’s more than a place
A state of mind, not a point in space
They say you can’t go back?
Bullshit, we carry it.
Home is more than a place to go
Can’t learn what you already know
Once you wind up where you belong
You’re never really gone

Oh, Say Less

Cold circumstance
The need for silence is far more important than words.
In any case,
The flame builds in the spaces And smokes in excess fuel
You’re even loud when you’re alone
With no competition
You’ll sort through it on your own
The unknown
Can’t grasp
No one asked, any answer is in vain
Can’t deny that
In the quiet complications will remain
You’re even loud when you’re alone
Learn to listen
Separate what is known from what’s shown
Can’t face it
Then it’s wasted
Trace it back and pull it up

Over Macho Grande

Do you see yourself?
Do you think you fool anyone else?
Fear presents as hate.
It’s broken you, crushed under the weight.
Collapsing in.
You can’t buy your way into feeling safe.
Can you arm yourself enough to keep from feeling so afraid?
How are you defined?
Which are you, hero or the victim?
Can’t you recognize
if everyone is alpha, then no one is
…and no one is.
You say bring it back,
and it sounds like a projection
of what you lack.
It must be small.
All those props won’t help at all.
There’s no supplement
you can take to make you whole.
Empty inside;
Define yourself in opposition, overcompensate.
There’s a strong suggestion in your preoccupation;
You protest too much.
Far too much.
A rebel who can’t change is unworthy of the name.
