They got an ugly disposition and they'd like to wipe the smile from my face
The only reason I'm still grinning is nobody saw me falling from grace
I hit the ground and woke up covered in dirt
Got up and dusted off my favorite shirt
Got sick of being sick

Mountaintop compound
Back on the path
Doing it right
Bringing it back
Forward the fight
Having a blast
Daytime or night
Watch for the crash
Head for the light
Mountaintop compound
Shit hits the fan
We'll be alright
Bringing it back
Forward the fight
Having a blast
Daytime or night
Watch for the crash
Head for the light
Mountaintop compound

Facing the Firing Squad
01:42
|
|||
|
Must be sin
What they did
Ugly assumptions of good-looking kids
On the run
Wind up done
Assassinations as real as the sun
If this one disappears into the ether
Burn it down
If this one winds up suicided
Burn it down
Might be worth facing the firing squad

The Feed
02:26
|
|||
|
Ripping off the tags
From the mattresses
False equivalence
Empty dread
Fear is what they want
Burning businesses
Billboards for the war
On your feed
Tripping off my ass
Flying buttresses
Pomp and circumstance
Empty threat
Fear is what they want
Bread and circuses
Turned us into whores
On the feed

One Good Comet
02:20
|
|||
|
Breed like fruit flies
Die as young
Overheating
Overfed
One good comet
We try not
To be cynics
But what the fuck
Shootings and drone strikes
It's no sweat
Cops kill, cops die
Real unrest
Flat earth, false flag
Internet
Pentagon says UFOs
We forget

Comb my hair and go out tonight
Spitshine halo, blinding the light
Polish my shoes, my reflection is bright
I won't be let down, let down tonight
Open up
Hoping I
Open up
Hoping eye
Climb my stairs, I'm in for the night
Remove clothing one limb at a time
Take off my skin, my reflection divine
I won't be let down, let down tonight
Open up
Hoping I
Open up
Hoping eye

Peripheral Silhouette
01:28
|
|||
|
Empty silhouette in my peripheral
Had a shape
Wasn't there
Stub my cigarette and take Obliterol
Had a nap
Couldn't care
Awoo ohwoo ah whoa

Stolen Song Probably
03:38
|
|||
|
Pulling up endless ivy
Got my hand in glove
Barely got time for me
Nevermind love
Something creeps up behind me
Put my hand to God
Got no time for being
No one's dog
Know it ain't much to look at
But it always gets me by
Ain't my words, this ain't my song
For all I know I
Stole the whole damn thing

I didn't wanna switch positions but they're all up in my personal space
The only reason they keep winning is nobody's yet to put em in place
They'll hit the ground and find that even the Earth
It wants em gone and hey, for what it's worth
She's sick of being sick

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
