Medium Parnell –
Will Be, Have Been (mp3)

Looked away. Tried to pretend that I never knew, but that was doomed to fail. Saw with the eyes of the builders. Saw the piper paid. A thing which is pending. A tragedy certain. I want you to know. Great pain is here at the door. Let it in early. It's only the sting of correction. The mass is growing. Snowballing sorrow as terror ticks on. Stripping the clear coat. Raw and rusty is the plate fate is served on. The course is automatic... when you have no luxuries to enjoy in their world. When you have no possessions to claim in a poisoned world. When you have no rights or privileges in a conquered world. When it's obviously silly to pursue happiness in some hellish world. And some of us will be... Dancing around like we're nuts. Doin' our thing. Doin' our thing... We're going to die anyway. Might as well strike the root and be done with the coping games. What will be left if we wait for system failure to happen on its own? It'll ruin so much between now and then. I cannot comply. Meet me at the door. Murder me cold. This is the best fight I've had since I was a child. Good reason and honest path is subject to thresholds of personal comfort. That's motherfuckin' bullshit. Motherfuckin' bullshit. Motherfuckin' bullshit. Excited to be free of my flesh, blood and bones to explore more of the wide riddle. Your senses are paltry pinhole previews of the gorgeous riddle. Your manicured mirage is moot next to the ultimate riddle. You fashion fragile facades to blind yourself to the essential riddle. But some of us have been... Stripping ourselves of hard forms. Doin' our thing. Doin' our thing....

Dying Every Moment (ogg)

Picked locks. Homemade socks and soap. Rope from the local grasses. True living. Monkeywrenching. Roving and seizing. Minus the dominance. Cooperative prominence. Fade for the family. Slim survivor at the lakeshore with a bow and a hubcap. Crap catchin' boots when the energy declines. Dismembered cops and gasoline lines. Bazookas in your neighborhood. Feel the insurgence. The new mode is aware of its own emergence. I lose my phone often and don't mind it much. You know, I never enjoy hearing it ring. Tethering to those at a distance is more than I can bear. Too much for nothing. Let's exchange. Give me incentive. I'm trying to hold myself together for the dependents. Fuck a camera. Gimme a stone tool, a good gene pool, twelve of good heart, a nice climate & I'll be cool!!! Thriving on the rubble!!! Call it a "post-collapse" bubble!!! We didn't hack your network for nothing!!! Proselytize. Permeate. Strip down. Strata delineated. Infuriated? Why pacify? Make it boil. Overdone apple pie. Burnt out & nasty. Putrefied dream. Exposed swindle & wicked, greedy scheme. We brought hard sticks. And sharp glass. Destroyed names. Kicked some fuckin' ass. Now you know what's up. Recognize the small. We set up camp in a decimated mini mall. Grew psilocybin and damn good marijuana. Came to consensus on purpose. And thumbed our noses. At the old skulls. Chattering crispy hulls. Flattering wispy dulls. That was the old way for sure, but the law of entropy eventually pulls.

For Ideal (mp3)

We all do our jobs. All participate in the fabricated folly. Wind against air. Waves against water. All quiet eventually. Busy in the meantime. Until death relieves us. Until death relieves us. I'll start joking around more. Bottom line was a knee slapper. Ready to kill for ideal. Ready to die for your children. I've always envied animals. Well enough alone and the web ain't needed. I'm nowhere near that free. Tangled in unnecessary complexity. I imagine a straw bale room. Spartan with a pillow, hot bread, tea and candles. Convenience is untrue. Convenience is untrue. I've been happy alone more. Hungry ghost was our true father. Ready to kill for ideal. Ready to die for your children. Peacefully into battle. I am not picky. Any fate will suit me fine. Bring your nastiest weapons. Loose them on the weaker ones. Swallow for appetite's sake. Strength greater than greed we have. Ulcer for the heavy hand. Ulcer for the heavy hand. I can't hold this smile anymore. Happy time was a kind gesture. Ready to kill for ideal. Ready to die for your children. Get pissy and wreck the whole assembly. Turn it on it's head. Run it through with a long sword. Deride your elders. Effigies and defaced grave sites. Hunger and laughter both hurt the belly.

Pissing In The Casket (mp3)

How hard is it to look forward and plan better? Our accounts tell all with silken language. Use the wealth. Plain and rough remedy soothing my shoulders. Standards make me anxious. They're all blind machines. Better ever sharpens as we add to the pool of human experience. Note the findings. Nothing spoken or written. Just available. Nothing spoken or written. Just available. Get in tune with the moon. Thirteen is the natural pulse. Stirring a state. Stirring a state until it dissolves. It's not actually a real thing. Pope Gregory killed the rhythm. Edward Bernays got your tongue. Taste. Better ever sharpens as we add to the pool of human experience. Note the findings. Nothing chewed or sipped. Just saving it. Nothing chewed or sipped. Just saving it. I am the monster that frightened me. I calm him and manage his edges. In keeping with paradise sequence. Want the plan to come together. Feeling too impatient to let natural consequences happen. Hungry for crumble. Better ever sharpens as we add to the pool of human experience. Note the findings. Nothing burning or bleeding. Just pulling my hair. Nothing burning or bleeding. Just pulling my hair. We won't miss you. Thanks for the harsh lessons. You did us a service and we need you no longer. On with an improved show. No romance in cancerous dances. We won't miss you. Thanks for the harsh lessons. You did us a service and we need you no longer. On with an improved show. No romance in cancerous dances. Let's go crazy. Let's get nuts & bolts. We've tried the selfish plan. Potemkins are crashing. Help 'em on the way down. Hold your head in all the wind. Have some indecency. To hell with the standards. Smack until you get it. Black inertia giveth. Darkness within darkness. Indeed a gateway. Dark in the womb. Dark in the tomb. Debate the merits of eyesight. Think of what one needs in life. Fat and entertained. Unwitting customer. James Olds' mouse. Mouse button pleasure. Pleasure at a cost. Penalty-per-view. Equal footing lost. Bruised until blue. Slip never again. Power is masochistic. Folds back to blast you. You rot like the lowest form. Poor ideas of eternal life. Rich illusion seduces prey. Future generations inherit the wake of our greed today.

Live Towards Improvement (mp3)

Live towards improvement. Plant more gardens. Raise better babies. Unplug. Develop good occasions. Eat more dinners together. Enjoy actual human company. Engage each other deeply. Play music and sing together. Downsize. Simplify. Show appropriate aggression when called for. Show appropriate tolerance when called for. Nurture the beneficial. Do the change talked about. Use your skills to get us to a better place. Use the skills that you have and learn more. Meditate. Burst into action. Dance like a fool. Inform. Get primitive. Examine and manage fears. Consume less. Create and shape. Adore the basics. Share. Give gifts. Give and give and give. Understand that if everyone gives that there can be no lack. Let the happiness you bring to another person make you happy. Understand your sharing. Build and build and build. Be responsible for yourself and the ones you care about. Be local. Be satisfied with being. Know that enough is really enough. Talk with an understanding of the power of words and the infrequency with which they are genuinely needed. Understand the body. Care for your body. Care for another body. Understand the living things. Respectfully approach the living things. Understand that respecting living things is ultimately respecting yourself. Respect the planet, which is a living thing. Immerse yourself in the unturned environment and be moved to tears. End your denial. Refuse the bread and circuses. Cease to ignore the slaughter. Expose the ugliness. Manifest the beauty. Understand that your defeatist, postmodern, lazy, spoiled attitudes towards your recognized everyday hypocrisy are bloody malice, weakly removed by the transparent degrees of scapegoat agency, and are not fucking cute. Love loving to love. Resign your face from the bad race. Remember that all affects all. Play amazing ball.
