You call this a democracy
People beaten with nowhere to leave
Join the protest, nothing can go wrong
Getting rushed with tear gas and batons
March with our brothers, our sisters too
Build an alliance as bruises get blue
It’s just a uniform you chose that path
Who you protecting when you made the bloodbath
My anger’s pent up, discriminate me
My color matters, but you arrest me
Give me a reason, your violent treason
A fascist making, allegiance to him
We mold the same, yeah we’re equal
Pouring through our veins, man upheaval
We love and bleed in the same way
Serve and to protect, that’s what they say

Wake up for breakfast put a beer in my mouth
All these zoom meetings with no way out
I know I’m home, feels like a cubicle
With coworkers like cats and a dog named Oreo
Repeat and Repeat again
Over and Over again
Day after the day it’s the same
Living in a picture frame
I want to hang out go to places like before
But that won’t happen a long while more
It’s driving me insane, I feel this solemn pain
Took all this shit for granted
I should’ve gone, should’ve taken advantage
I’m feeling anxious
Too much I hate this
I’m feeling restless
The separation
I feel no senses
Oh God I hate this
Feeling defenseless
All this frustration
Don’t tell me what to do
I’m feeling Deja Vu
Solitude has been a bliss
So many things I miss

No Luck
03:51

Everybody’s looking for something
Well life’s a tribulation
I drank too much, now I’m in a rut
I made this situation
I’m out of luck
I’m out of touch
Everybody’s looking for one thing
Well life’s a simulation
I left too much, now I’m in a rush
I’m looking for salvation
I’m out of luck
I’m out of touch
I’m always looking over my shoulder
That just happens, I get older
Trying hard not to think about death
I like to pretend x2
I’m always anxious feeling colder
That just happens, I get sober
A normal life in a tight restriction, is this real life or is it just fiction
X REPEAT
Always look over my shoulder
Just happens I get older
Always anxious feeling sober
Just happens I get older

I hate to say there’s something going on
A revolution, there’s one
Turn off your TV turn off your phone
Damn, it’s 2AM and you’re all alone
Religion’s good
(Yeah you say, yeah you say)
You read their books
(Yeah you say, yeah you say)
Believe their words
(Yeah you say, yeah you say)
Yeah, fuck that shit
There’s fires burning
There’s people dying
Fuck corporate greed
We need the money
(We keep on fighting)-*2nd time around*
There’s only some much that we can do
But you can too
Your words my words
Who will die first
DAEMON my flesh
Who will die first
They don’t wanna do a damn thing
We’re all alone with the things we’re facing
They got us for the taking, decimating
Destruction’s what we’re facing

I don’t care what you think of me
I’m swaying like the sea
Different sides
We don’t agree
It’s my type of living
Sun beaming in breeze
Born again I feel so free
The storm made its own plans
Im gripping at her door
Not enough I wanted more
It’s a full liberation
Live the way we want
No control
gotta always remember we’re happy all alone
Just a friendly reminder don’t call me on the phone
You say that life is forever, life on the road
Yeah it’s life as we know it, it’s good as gone
Changes come and changes go
Adapt and you will see
You were made for everything
Life is one big challenge, hit it with everything
You got
Gotta love yourself, don’t pull the lever
Know what you’re worth, what really matters

Not Impressed
04:03

Lately, you’re not impressed
I’ve sent you a message
You know, to get it off my chest
Lately you’re not impressed
I hope you feel better
The truth, I know it’s for the best
And maybe you’ll let me through
Because I’ve earned the right
With all the doubt you threw
It’s tempting, to quit it’s easy
But I’ll never let them take my pride
You doubt me, your hatred drives me
You always try, but it won’t change my mind
It’s crazy, won’t you let me be
I’ll build from here, to show the critics we’re care-free
And when you, you let me through
I know I’ve earned the respect from you and all the cynics too
You’re not impressed, you never were

I packed my bags
I left my home
I don’t wanna be here
It’s not my own
I packed my car
I grabbed my stuff
Sped on the road
I left it all
I tried to reach out
To my close friends
Forget about me
Let’s all pretend
how could I forget things could get better
Don’t you wanna see things could get better
How could I forget things will get better
Don’t you wanna live a life worth the price
A brand new town
To call my own
A brand new life
Old one outgrown
I feel so lost
Time to return
It’s all my fault
A lesson learned
I packed my stuff
I packed my car
Sped on the road
Back to the start
How could I forget things will get better
Don’t you wanna see, things will get better
How could I forget things will get better
Don’t you wanna live a life worth the price

Corridor
01:45
|

In the hallway on the floor
Lost our way, we lost control
Where’s our room, where are my keys
2nd floor, no one agrees
I’m lost and drunk
Have no idea where I’m at
I’m in the corridor
I’m lost and gone
Can’t find my way back
Knocking hard from door to door
Running down from floor to floor
Scanning card from key to key
I’m so drunk I’m trying to sleep

Slugger

Play dead, deep shrills
My coffin, add some wheels
I’m gone, so long
Last song, “Head over Heels”
Running around in my brain, rent free
Former self in a fight with the newer me
Yeah, it’s head to head, it’s toe to toe
I can’t reveal what the future holds
But I always say it’s better late than never
Soul meets evil before it gets better
Death wants you
Defines you
Creates you
Then she’ll hunt you
She’ll make you weak or stronger
She’ll give the option to feel
Never to heal
Die young or I die old
It’s all the same to me
We’ll live each day the same
Endlessly
Die young or I die old
It’s what you said to me
We’re living endlessly
How long till I have to go
How long till I meet my foe
My time is moving slow
Each day’s worth the weight in gold
Fearing each day is no way to live
I can’t hold a grudge, I’ll learn to forgive
And nothing that’s given is set in stone
I’m tryna figure out where Ima go
And I’ll learn to be patient, I’ll learn to be kind
You reap what you sow until the end of time
And if you lose fear, you gain your whole life
It ends here, so I STOP
Die young or I die old
It’s what you said to me
We’ll live each day the same
Endlessly
Die young or I die old
It’s what you said to me
We’re living endlessly

S.F.T.F (Intro)
01:20

You give it your all
Nothing in return
Only to surrender swiftly
The mind, the body and soul
How can you be content
When you have no intent
To give it all you got and
Try x5
Some more

You give it your all
Nothing in return
Only to surrender swiftly
The mind, the body and soul
How can you be content
When you have no intent
To give it all you got and
Try x5
Some more
Cause if I find you way too comfortable
I’ll leave you out to dry
There’s no discomfort in living so normal
You only got one life
Swing 4 the fences x4
Cause if I find you way too comfortable
I’ll leave you out to dry
There’s no discomfort in living so normal
Complacency’s a lie x2

Slow Burner
05:08

I know that you’re distraught
But it just means you gotta let go
Don’t let your feelings fly
Emotions raging through a black hole
You’re always in control
Sit back and let it go
Focus on just yourself and no-one else
No one else
Time passing slow
Wherever I go
I don’t wanna leave you
You seem so alone
I won’t put you out
I’ll pick you back up
You’re never alone
I’ll always be around
Don’t ask me why x2
Let me be the guide you need
You’re always safe with me
I know it’s my fault
Always your first thought
It’s always been this way
You’ll never love me
Shattered to pieces on the floor
Promise you’ll be ok we’ll mute the words
They say
I know it’s my fault
Always your first thought
It’s always been this way
You’ll never love me
Shattered to pieces on the floor
It’s your time to split, can’t call it quits
Wake up and feel the difference
You’re here and that’s a gift
A deep breath to keep your sanity
A joyous mind drifts
Your feelings of despair
Let it vapor in the distance
A feeling of great purpose
A joyous mind drifts(repeat)
All Alone, sitting right here on my own
I’m looking for something
A true bliss from the sky
Well that’s a lie
The only way to feel alive
Is true happiness
Will slow burn if you don’t let go

Fear No Man
04:35
|

|
I’m faking my laughter
A joyous disaster
All I could ask
What was I doing wrong
Straight out of options
Your attitude’s rotten
These boring talks
They aren’t doing much
I can’t keep on faking
The truth for the taking
Your name in my book
Delete and leave it off
Sell-out in the making
A hypocrite breaking
A vow that would make a man
Trip and Fall x5
All my life I’ve been so lost
Never feared no man
I fear no one
Don’t you like what you’ve won
Another chance at redemption
Redemption

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same

I saw Maggot Heart opening for Messa in DC and I was blown away! This was a time when you hear someone live for the first time and you know you will be hooked when you go home and check them out. They sounded as great, ferocious, and huge live as they did on this record: MASSIVE beautiful tones from all three instruments stitching together phenomenal, twisting, beguiling, serpentine dark songwriting and well-written, razor-sharp lyrics delivered with a spine-tingling intensity. Come back to DC!
