Ethel Hallow 01:45
Ethel Hallow every chink in my armour every awkward behaviour every facet remembered with clinical precision pulling threads to unravel draw attention to my many shortcomings and proudly mocking I knew the lamb beneath the wolf the source of all the cruelty and felt sorry I lacked the malice to turn those words into weapons and why would I? I had no idea how hurt one must be to bottle up the anger and turn it on the weak
2.
The fever 01:22
The Fever the rabid mouth will always hunger would never sleep for the hope of peace It is a sickness the slathering jaw that we claim to have no love for yet we gather for the want of war for the misanthrope for the end of hope the hugging skies the hawkish blight the black cascade as the fever breaks as it transpires that we have traded all reason for ‘all hope is lost’
3.
If you’ve got nothing nice to say facades of former humans cowards in avatars clothing mouth pieces with no fucks given bastions of the unremitting they will speak with vomit bile the odorous and always reviled democracy of patient responses drowned with gloating glib derision if you’ve got nothing nice to say then say nothing at all a toxic mess of caustic values iconoclasts with tiki torches archaic hateful double standards we’ll all go up in fucking flame wars If you’ve got nothing nice to say then say nothing at all can considered words sooth the savage beast? can we talk our way out of these maladies? hateful minds seeking the least resistance grinning faces behind blank expressions sticks and stones will break my bones and words are often harmful
4.
Vile Language beasts of burden the fatted calf branded stock with heated iron the lambing season; we lost all reason to be joyous in the spring of blood letting words conceal the literal blade! words conceal the literal sentences abominable the consonants and vowels of grievous bodily harm the body separated language camouflage flanks and chops and cuts absolve repulsion repelled by the neat use of words and the flailed flesh cleaved with clever expression we become illiterate in the clutch of compassion and the claret scrawl of decomposition

#Nofilter 00:59
#No filter greener minefields self worth invalidation pecking orders fleeting glories paint over cracks with rose tinted filters the wrong prescription we’re all short sighted take take take don’t take a picture; it will last longer take take take there’s nothing to see here comparing grey days with false impressions edited fallacies with nothing #blessed we’re running out of things to say recording every incremental change always reaching for the glaring screen quick release of dopamine take take take take a step back take take take there’s nothing to see here take take

Incomprehension it will get easier as you grow older I’m older now just as incapable the concrete pours on my waking thoughts subconscious beyond a fucking chasm i can’t make sense of I can’t make sense of motion sickness from fractious perception {between} getting a grip and self immolation I’m afraid of who I might be admitting to yourself, unknown territory i can’t make sense of I can’t make sense of crowded mouth tangled tongue lost for words labyrinth of what I was supposed to be failing to live up to social normalcy how I feel who I love what I am i can’t make sense of I can’t make sense of confusion of identity losing ourselves in ourselves mindfulness and mindlessness barely even conscious of all of the above
7.
Last song of man bloated corpse it writhes inorganically its mouth is mouthing incomprehensible words its gestures crude yet strangely considered carries the deeds of its many misfortunes each wound is a keepsake its brain is mincemeat having tried and failed to make sense of its function the dissonance prevailed and having ravaged its homeland it staggered around in every direction spreading disease

Worst witch 01:30
Worst witch what I lack in confidence I make up for with sheer will to drag myself from the throttle of my many insecurities worst witch dodging the hexes of our own self inflictions those whose bite is venomous pales in comparison casting incompetently make a meal of my sorcery to this day I’m still suffering the taste of my own fucking medicine worst witch I just makes things worse I’m the victim of my own curse but I will keep on trying to accept my flaws aren’t failings
