Evade All Traps
And Come Out Gnashing, Snarling, Gnashing, Snarling!

Disguises Are Many
Media Pawn Or Man On The Street

They'll Scavenge Your Emotions
And Leave You Diseased
They'd Steal A Last Possession
And Smile As You Concede

Devourer, Plunderer, Deceptor

Speculate Freely
Begrudge Me Intensely
Lacking A Conscience

Crossed All Divides
Caused A Shift In Protective Focus

Three Words Flouted

Untimely End, I Should've Clicked? A Sensory Cut-out
A Spoiling Of The Harmony, Of Which We Were About
I Don't Despise Or Demonize, But I Just Know Your Form
Walk Right Out And Move Along, And Leap Before You Look

See Straight Through
Transparent You

A Real Cuting Edge Is The Scourge Of The Norm
For All The Angst, You're Tantrum-fuelled Dolls

So Drawn? I Warm To The Fire In Their Hearts
This Ain't Romantic Gesturing
It's A Hand To Head The Charge

To The Indifference Of The Preening, Idle Rich
Such Champions Are Cancerous, Tumours In The Gut
Of Affluent Bliss

Why Let These Scab Observers Tag Them Trouble-makers?
It's Naive? You're On A Leash.

I Dissolve To A Dream Of The Past
Terminate, To Remove
Falling Fast

At The End Of A Chain Thoughts Collect
Execute. A Degree. I Defect.

What's It Worth?
Sacrifice The Earth? It Bleeds.
Meet Your Needs. Devilish Deeds

Reconcile. Understood. Contemplate.
Desecrate. To Denounce. Detonate.

Tentative. To Reject. Overdue.
Final Stage. To Complete. Follow Through.

Far Too Late.
Absolute Hate? This Hell
An Empty Shell.
Desolate Cells.

A Necessary Evil? Bargaining Pleas
Held At Ransom? Or Souls Diseased
A Necessary Evil? The Dominant Role?
