K.T.L. 02:05
K.T.L. my timecard's full, and i can't believe. no penny to my name. you snatched em from me. their pockets are empty. they can't find reprieve. yours never looked fuller. yet the rent, you increase. dragging your knuckles and rapping on my door. processing payments, you're still demanding more. breaking my back to give you what you need. debt crushed my chest, but you order me to breathe. long as i'm living, you'll get what you desire. greed lit the flame, but revenge stokes the fire. your skin starts itching, epidermis scalds from heat. caress your head with the bottoms of my feet. parasites have engorged on the masses. force our signatures just to entrap is. sever your spine to reap what is mine. we killed the landlord, it's about god damn time. prey on the weak you'll go through me. can't gauge your pockets, we'll make you bleed. your mind is weak. it can't conceive thoughts of revolt. set ourselves free.

Peace Through Pain crawling through the days on fist and knee. can't stomach the sight the sight of me. what i wanted and who i've become are not one in the same. carnal debt to the ones before, i'm a stain on the family name. lives lost to the sands of time. your gaze should never meet mine. just a shadow of the soul you once knew. spit in the face of your false virtue. deny the ones that dictate what i want from me. coat my identity in plagues. soil who i'm gonna be. marginalize internal struggle you have never seen. my voice my choice my speech you can't take from me.

Venial Sin 01:55
venial sin tapping my fingers, ripping my hair, don't distract from internal despair. my eyes: bloodshot. no plan prepared. my will to live: beyond repair. where do you turn when all hope is lost? does reprieve outweigh the cost? i'll place my bet against myself. grip the blade, let it drag me to hell. in the depths i will dwell. this world's gonna swallow me whole. i don't care. take my ruptured soul. cold sweats and sleepless nights. that ain't a worthwhile life. why agonize over empty days? claim my bed in a shallow grave. my wager's lost. i've paid the cost. my own happiness i couldn't save.
4.
sangre y sudor massacred raw and scarred. where battered dreams go to sleep. manifestation of annihilation. crooks and robbers stole what was never yours to claim. this sweat and blood mi sangre mi sudor lay the very ground you desecrate. are you too blind to see the destruction your ignorance brings?
