1.
They come to haunt & set fire to our children. They scream with sick, deafening awe. Hailing sorrow down. We are the scanter for their burning. We’ve always lived like this I wipe my face in the gutters. There’s rubble of hope in my heart. I pray for an end to this haunting. The holes in our skin and the scars Terrified. The sound of sirens & the black shadows in the sky I hear their screech in the distance. They’re coming for us. I’m paralyzed Nowhere to hide. No one to help. We will be found. They fall like rain They level our houses, into shallow graves. I lay buried in concrete, pinned down in pain. My days are over, 100 days of rain The ghosts of Mosul, they go by many names

Noble Lies 02:08
Don't waste a crisis - the first rule of spin Pacification - slow boil the skin Politicize the tragic - the truth is too bright They help our eyes - adjust to the light Believe it’s true. The world is coming for you We hear their sirens; hear the hooves outside So we opened our houses, trusted the wrong men No guns, no force used. We gave them the keys This is the product, of our obedience Their noble lies. Cloak their deceit
3.
Venom 03:20
They bend their tongues like they bow for lies. Swift to shed blood. No fear in eyes. Speak no truth. Their heart is in vain. Misery and sadness lies in their wake. We speak of our sorrows like a forbidden name. Our forked tongues tremble, seething out from our shame. We hold the torches to portraits born in flames. We've come to amass the anguish, we've come for your broken days. No one can tame the tongue. All have turned away, together become worthless. Sharp as a serpent’s tongue. Venom from the asps. Bitter speeches. Poison under lips. Throats are graves. Tongues, they speak of deceit. Cut off the head of the tongue that speaks.
4.
Scared of the sun, hidebound men They scratch their heads, there’s no skin left Upright in the dark, impatient hands Wrinkled and rigid, ass full of sand Sick & averse, chair legs bend Old-line politics, shallow reach He shakes in outrage, mouth spits red Parochial vision, rabid resentment Disgust for the weak Plaudit of the crooked Apathy for the broken Acclaim for the tyrants
5.
Shroud 04:53
Blood stains the ground Red dirt in mouth Wrapped in a shroud They can come for your children, leave them dead in the road The systems foundations hold their privilege in stone All the painful reminders, all the truth rotten words Is the world they’ve built for you, they prefer you in ruin Lost to the world. Ruin. Lost to the world When the cowards cursed your name It tapered the arrows that forged your death
