I did a drug, thought that it would help,
It didn't
I did another drug, thought that it would help
It didn't
I did more of the first drug, no difference
Thought this time that things would be different
Days turn to weeks
Weeks turn to months
Can't get no sleep, can't stay warm
I can withdraw, alienate myself from everyone
That might teach them some kind of lesson
That might show them how much I care
It was the best I could come up with alone
How do they expect me to do things
Restless, consumed, and non-moving
Harmless, shamed, and under control
Just the way this death machine wants me
I was a little bit drunk when I wrote this
Only the dog here to notice

Compassion Fatigue:
Oh good they got a word for it
Soon they'll be handing out awards for it
Guess it's hard to keep giving a fuck
When free market tragedies compete
To be the first to wear you down
Bringing platform apathy "to scale"
Don't think I don't get it
If I could fund mass therapy, I would
But in all of histories hard-earned lessons
Here's a freebie:
Do what it takes to keep giving a fuck
Cause you're next

Born Guilty

These kids are having a hard time trying to like you,
Or even caring if you live or die
Too many cousins, too many uncles lives
Ruined just doing your job:
Top-down terrorism for the maintenance
Of a racist empire
“Fuck the police” is the only time
I hear them say “fuck.”
They’re trying to sound tough
Mumbled like a prayer, soft and sacred
A spell to give them strength
Tensions rise when you come around
Relax, be cool
Their mothers taught them to keep their heads down
Yes sir, No sir
Instruments of torture pass at eye level
And they know not to give you a reason
They’re living a life sentence, born guilty
Any passing glance in the bathroom mirror
Serves as that reminder
How long can their hate and fear keep them safe?

This is sort of my reintroduction to Zao, after leaving off when they released 'Awake?' I am still getting to know the album, but it is intense, and I do enjoy it quite a lot.
