large recall monolith

we had a beautiful day the night that it happened
seen a lot of old friends, eating, drinking, smoking
and eventually we retired to our rooms
I had gotten to sleep easily, but awoke a few hours later, early in the morning
something felt off, something wrong in the air
I pulled my eyes open and looked around
and there was a man standing there
I was certain my mind was tricking itself, still sloshing around in a drunken, sleepy haze
but he was there and I just kept feeling him there, even after he’d left through the back door,
all of which had been left unlocked
what was he doing there?
was he just staring at me?
what the fuck?
the questions poured through my mind as though a dam holding back insanity had just collapsed
there are no answers
—
silent past the edge of it,
watching you in bed again,
I’ve roamed these halls more than you
could have ever imagined.
I’ve taken all of my time,
traced the office,
inhaled your closet,
been in your cabinets
where you hide your weapons,
know all of your secrets,
know the code to your safe,
where you think you’re untraced,
I’ve been there waiting for you
I have grown weary of
waiting for somebody
to save us all from
your bullshit coming in
every day I wake
praying that you don’t
but my patience is waning
ripped out all my hair
torn it from the root
burning inside with
a harsh necessity begging to shut you the fuck up
some days you’re many,
but some days just one,
and no matter what
I will simply recall everyone like you
know If you hate us,
we fucking hate you,
but before you kill us,
we’ll exterminate you
you’re on borrowed time

every day another battle
every day another headline
falling apart to broadcast apathy
recalibrate
security
measures
my insurance policy
is making sure that you don’t live
long enough to make a dent
in the lives of those I’m set to protect
desperate times, you know the rest
I feel angry, and I feel helpless
I feel violent, and I feel alone
please don’t try to change my mind
if I have to stop you
I will gladly put you under
if I have to kill you
I will gladly pull the trigger
you’ll force my hand
pushing past my pacifism
when positivity
is placed into the path of violence
they can feed us platitudes and “tough discussions” as long as they want
but the appetite for bullshit has been sated for long enough
nothing in the past has ever been changed without lines to empathy
and nothing terrible in the past has ever been changed without direct action

the sun emerges from darkness, blazing with a fire to burn down the world
a deathwish, a harbinger, a flare into the stratosphere
it is a signal of the end of the line
a vast array of aggregate bullshit to end your strife
pre-determined for food deserts and hate crimes
lessons on how to hate yourself, reduce your size,
change yourself, even take your life
It’s bootstraps all the way down, and they will tear
the family trees in the park will all grow bare
the only solace: i don’t want to fucking be here
i don’t want to fucking be here
you can pray for change, even a new face
but you’re stuck in the same hole you crawled out of
from the cradle to the fucking grave
i don’t want to fucking be here
i would rather drink myself to death
or stick a needle in my arm with black tar heroin
i don’t want to fucking be here

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan.
