reaching out for better tomorrows fingers outstretched, beyond the pale i can’t see the light, no sunset slipped between the cracks, the shell i’m nothing in this, slashed by the razor it cuts to the bone, and I melt away another victim of circumstance the shore gives way to the restless tide no tomorrows i’ve lost i’m sorry i’m drowning i’m nothing

i wonder how i could bring someone into this world when they could get shot in grade school while pigs watch, right arms raised in salute their power comes from the barrels of their guns it's all too much watch them burn i wonder if this is all that's left for me then hand in hand we'll burn them all christofascistic capitalist fuck their power comes from the barrels of their guns

Blackwater 04:17
how do you live with yourself lapdog of bloodlust hands of the oppressor blinded by self importance man with the gun what a brave hero he is bloodthirsty hound feeds off the poor in the name of his lord he washes his hands in blood it brings him joy to be the pride of his country but if there is a god may it bring peace to the innocent, the victims of empire and if there is a hell may your dogs, never know peace let their justice, come after cause it’ll never come here
