An insect has been burrowing through the limbs of my internal tree Born from the loss and rise of once profitable company That keeps the limbs from reaching out and continue to shun Three birds on my branch and the tempest took one The latter betrays and the other a fool Why have you chosen I to have your fun Future now skewed from the disease born of your cruel But I'm the seraph of this world Now you think you're the only one Ferdinand's wounded come gather around Self thought exceptionalism doesn't award one the crown Be attentive to a ripple in a storm Just look past the eye and you'll see where you stand is tame But I got money and power Then aid in the meek's inheritance

My Don’t want to talk about it My
 just want to look around it My Let it fester evermore Reprieve glints in the form of a wave An alluring key for admittance, too concave From the tug of split will with each passing day Now relent and express obeisance to the fray And I’m crazy too But so far, it don’t mean I deserve you Do I hear a knell? Go to. Remain stood. Cast the final stone And walk on by, walk on by Passing seasons with no change Monotony’s break hinders just the same Look around the ceiling there’s a cure But every gift has stripes for sure My Don’t want to talk about it My
Just want to look around it My Let it fester evermore And I’m lazy too But so far, it don’t mean I deserve you Do I hear a knell? Go to. Remain stood. Cast the final stone And walk on by, walk on by So you wanna prophesize? The mourning is new Think you want to prophesize? Look, two by two Take it forward And the cock consumes me

John Henry 03:11
John Henry God bless your soul You picked up the hammer out of others’ thirst for control To preserve your life And thwart the villain brandishing empowered knife I’ve been shedding tears for you and you’ve been living under lethal strain All for the sake of machine’s strength To belittle the power of such a man John Henry died on the side of the road Taking that steel through tunnel and hole Broken by those with hammer in hand A hero mistaken for a sacrificial lamb Whose destiny was decided by those who can Not again, not again John Henry God bless your soul Killed for being caught in the grips of an arcane toll Carried out by the falsely ordained Who judge the life of those according to what is trained I’ve been shedding tears for you And you’ve been drawing blood What a waste of a galant man Who will sadly not be the end John Henry died on the side of the road Taking that steel through tunnel and hole Broken by those with hammer in hand A hero mistaken for a sacrificial lamb Whose destiny was decided by those who can Not again, not again No I can’t take this no more When will Janus be at the door

You give pain It’s all in vain They feign at your domain I’ll show you bane Now Beat It ‘Cause You love it Take what you oughta And everybody's gonna know your name now Here Select the cull Discharge your will And let it fill your pit of carnal thrill I don’t know what I’ve been told Taping shattered mirrors to feel it in the ears Gotta keep trucking Gotta keep trucking Seek crimson to impale and let the body glisten Now Beat It ‘Cause You love it Take what you oughta And everybody's gonna know your name now Here Select the cull Discharge your will And let it fill your pit of carnal thrill
