Cognicide

Western Addiction Cognicide Lyrics
1.Charged Words

In my head it makes perfect sense
A cautionary tale of sitting on a fence
Send your goons to break a turned cheek
Our sapphire sockets and pacifist's bleat

Your charged words have got me by the wrist
Turning gold to dirt, reverse alchemist
I'm scared in a face irate
But I won't fight just to break your plate

A mealy interior and a bullshit stance
Dealing war crimes in repetitious cadence
A culprit in the pulpit without rhyme or treason
A fallen rioteer with a reason

Your charged words have got me by the wrist
Turning gold to dirt, reverse alchemist
I'm scared in a face irate
But I won't fight just to break your plate

With your charged words.....


2.Mailer, Meet Jim

Manchester of rape, Selena please
Oh but this ain't heartache
Gable of beryl foresight
Amends, cockneyed witless, threaten retinas,
With these frightened limp wrists
Gable of beryl foresight

Warding of pathogens like Mary of Magdalene
Unbreaching colonies through forced misogyny
So forget husbandry and no more baking bread
One careless crow now I'm fucking infected

Gable of beryl foresight

Live, stalked ravine, dismantles family
My futures now quarantined
Gable of beryl foresight

Hands out of pockets, ramming like rockets
Hitchhike to hell with my thumbs in your sockets
So forget husbandry and no more baking bread
One careless crow . . . .

Panic! (Panic!) Despair! (Despair!) Mailer! (Mailer!), meet Jim!

Warding of pathogens like Mary of Magdalene
Unbreaching colonies through forced misogyny
So forget husbandry and no more baking bread
One careless crow now I'm fucking infected


3.A Poor Recipe For Civic Cohesion

If patience is virtuous
I got the temperament for temperance
Partitioning stems and seeds
Damn lifeless galleries
I'll implement the elements
You're soiling a sacrament
Slicing sharks and your porcelain pedestals
Somehow, it seems so pitiful

Catastrophe
Of the highest order
Was likeness captured?
Feigned composure
A poor recipe for civic cohesion

We'll readily collaborate
Understand and participate
Pieces de resistance
Devastated crops of worth
Someone grant me social graces
Being that I'm socially graceless
Billowed soot have we met
Chromatic leaf, this is icy bayonet

I've been commissioned
To ignore companionship
Fashioning barricades
Amid flesh and wilderness

I'm wedlocked to these rivers and tides
These arrangements are my passionate wives
I'd pass you up for seductive seasons
A poor recipe for civic cohesion

Catastrophe
Of the highest order
Was likeness captured?
Feigned composure


4.The Church Of Black Flag

This is the church where Black Flag lives
Sentiments are born of desperation
Where good thoughts come from
Monuments in futility
Stress and anger, passion and humility
But we're above thumbs

This is the church where black flag resides
There's no profit, no success, just pride

Nil by mouth with prophetic paint
Autistic license, we're always poor and hungry
Art just doesn't pay
Finding beauty in ugliness
Compulsive strides are pensive and second best
This is on our chests

This is the church where black flag resides
There's no profit, no success and we're tired
We're tired!

This is the church free of cognicide
There's no profit, no success and we're tired,
In the church where Black Flag resides
There's no profit, no success, just pride


5.We Tech Supported A Manipulator

Pull over, here's where we'll dump it
No more of your glowing sentiments
We don't want what you've got to offer
We'll trade you in for your thinner brother

Make a bed beside quills and coal
Tuck you in with salted scrolls
What we don't know could fill up books
The overflows gone overlooked

I sure as hell don't see a haystack
Traumaed farmers or a sewing circle
Erotic TV's drown in plasmic lakes
Someone must've robbed a blood bank

Unwanted, abandoned, unloved
Renounced, unloved
Hypnotic hums had me pixilated
Unwelcome home of the antiquated
Unwanted, abandoned, unloved

Number crunchers got their numbers crunched
Discrepant drags got their overs onced
We tech supported a manipulator
Just a glorified calculator

It seems yesterday's extravagance
Is now a latter day hindrance
I took a break from moral restraint
No choice but to cooperate

Unwanted, abandoned, unloved
Renounced, unloved
Hypnotic hums had me pixilated
Unwelcome home of the antiquated
Unwanted, abandoned, unloved

Ill suited to be booted
Unacceptable to be compatible

Pull over, here's where we'll dump it
No more of your glowing sentiments
We don't want what you've got to offer
We'll trade you in for your thinner brother


6.Incendiary Minds

No!!!

Each one is born but they're coming out dead
My hands spell words as they fall from my head
Like a confederate flag dad wreaks of his kin
With blood on your brow you'll cry your eyes in

Prison ghost starts to scream as they carry you out
And attrition keeps you wishing that they'd tear your mouth out
A sign on an inn is the shape when you die
And poor St. Lucia took a knife in the eye

And it hurt. It fucking hurt!

The great diseases of our time are a soundtrack to the system
With incendiary minds and the knowledge to resist them
We can body harvest hate and send a charge up the floor
And eliminate the causes worth fighting for

Our incendiary minds
Our incendiary minds


7.It's Funny, I Don't Feel Like A Winner

My discipline will make your teeth shake
Your restraint gets a laugh track
Accolades for staunch ardor
Reparations for heedful orders

It's funny I don't feel like a winner
Weighted spoils for small steppers
Here's a trophy for atrophy
Chastened humility

We're the fretful and the overwrought
Our pre-planning is your after thought
Limitless capacities
Close to the vest without cruelty

It's funny I don't feel like a winner
Weighted spoils for small steppers
Here's a trophy for atrophy
Chastened humility

It's funny I don't feel like a winner
Weighted spoils for small steppers
Here's a trophy for atrophy
Chastened humility

Hopefully we'll get trophies in the end


8.When A Good Friend Attacks

Attack!
Little Orange Eyes - Coming from my room
Cutting Up My Hands - Gotta clean up my wounds
Bathroom poltergeist - Running up his spine
Sweaty Nausea - Palm full of red wine

Striations . . . up my arm

This curtain's a man of war - As liquid drips in me
Smoking lady's wake - Gotta get to LA
Hands above my head - Making out the will
Forty-four and three-fourths - Holding down the back seat

Blood-poisoned cast - When a good friend attacks
...When a good friend attacks

Here comes Elvis!

Orange eyes, coming for you - Unbridled rage at 1 foot 2
Orange eyes, coming for me - Ready to wreck my whole family
I know he's your brother and I love him too - but I'm so scared
So what can we do
A gentle 12 lbs when he's in your lap But pick him up and he'll
fucking, snap!

When a good friend attacks (whoa-oh-oh)
When a good friend attacks (whoa-oh-oh)
When a good friend attacks (whoa-oh-oh)


9.Matrons Of The Canals

We're the working poor
We're the labor forced
Routine banality
We stand in the sun just to eat

Antiqued trappings
Filthy proximity
Languid surveillance
You were birthed into luck we were born into chance

We offer our bosoms while you beat your breast
Feed your children while you dance on our backs
We're the matrons of the canals

Annihilate pride
Puritans drive
Stayed requitals
We'll be reimbursed with the fall of Rafael

Emerald resentment
Somehow I'm listless
I see your merriment
I know it's shallow but I just can't help it

We offer our bosoms while you beat your breast
Feed your children while you dance on our backs
We're the matrons of the canals

You rise the ranks as we raise your crops
Patiently comply in the parking lots
We're the patrons of the canals
We watch while you beat your breasts
Feed your children with our broken backs
We're the matrons of the canals
There's hatred from the canals
We're the matrons of the canals

Yeah!


10.Face Cancer

These white lines are what keep me safe
Not the white lines absolved to satiate
Save your dowry for the rock stars (rockstars)
Pleasure quarters rapturous daughters with alluring duress

These car wrecks are what protect me
Cross hairs for cross walks cross leisurely
Anxious Brahmas in a china shop (china shop)
Take the train from Pamplona so these neurons will stop

Deceptive perceptions insure my protection
Inconsistent systems reinterpret correct them

This belt of cloth is what protects me
Lover's arms, hostile wives with pious threats
Siphon stipends from your vital signs
This carbon dating is worth hating but it won't break the skin

This pane of glass is what protects me
Soft skin, gently pinned in a prison romance
Careless knives slumber patiently (patiently)
Dedicated to serrating discerning delicacies

Deceptive perceptions insure my protection
Inconsistent systems reinterpret correct them
Calm down

It seems nothing will protect me
Hallowed wraths, conjured scenes endless fake believe
Pigs and sharks bide hungrily (hungrily)
Their furled jaws are dormant saws awaiting chances mercy

Deceptive perceptions insure my protection
Inconsistent systems reinterpret correct them
Calm down


11.Corralling Pestilence

I check your chest you're warm
I check your neck you're alive
This scythe soothes Corsican wind chimes

Reassign a program success
Relent ungentleness
Restraint divides mice and men

Annica this life is fleeting
Dark times, lots of abortions
Finally, someone loves me

On my watch we're safe as churches
I think I found my purpose
Corralling Pestilence

I was unclean and hateful
Struck down, by the system
This vest gives me authority

No wind, instrumentation
Morning airport reunion
These thoughts are non-culinary

Annica this life is fleeting
Dark times, lots of abortions
Finally, someone loves me

On my watch we're safe as churches
I think I found my purpose
Corralling Pestilence

Annica this life is fleeting
Dark times, lots of abortions
Finally, someone loves me

On my watch we're safe as churches
I think I found my purpose
Corralling Pestilence

Yeah!


12.Animals And Children

Onward conscious introverts
Irish serpents with babes in arms
Rabid dogs and sprouts with heart
Generosity to a fault

Although there are cracks and flaws,
That one's broken and this one here is wrong
We'll study at your feet
With Dutch accords bound in need not want
Not want

Surveillance from crimeless places
Upward glances unto downtrodden faces
We quarter where fowls smother
Vermin roar and the faithful slumber

We'll study at your feet
With Dutch accords bound in need not want

And we'll play, we'll cheer, we'll laugh, it's clear

I prefer the company of animals and children
To adults so I won't have to give up hope
