Lost Days

Losing track of the days
And it hasn't even really been that long
Not good for hypochondriacs
Or even worse the germaphobes
Fight isolation with all you got
Hearts pumping full of creativity
Try not to panic give in to fear
I know it's hard when you think the end is near
Cities are in full lockdown
Some civilians still in denial
They say it's against your rights
How do you stop it if you don't stay inside
A broken record for the elite
History always repeats
Small businesses are suffering
While corporations get a big bail out
Fight isolation with all you got
Hearts pumping full of creativity
Try not to panic give in to fear
I know it's hard when you think the end is near
Lost Days...
These are the lost days

Ask the millennials
It will impact us all
Rising sea levels
Deep underwater fall
All those bombs going off
Planes and helicopters
So much fuel being used
Pollutes the air and water
Climate change is not a hoax 1 million species now extinct
Shifting patterns
Interconnected planet
Globalization
Alters the scale of events
The last two decades
Hottest in 400 years
Ice melting rapidly
The arctic worst affected
More droughts and hurricanes
Storms and wildfires
Stop denying it
And calling scientist liars
The world is heating up
More animals now nocturnal
Humans impact them
By going hiking and camping
We are emitting
Co2 faster than it's absorbed
Eco-efficiency
Resilient strategy
Restore the natural cycle
Before rapid extinction
Plastic pollution killing fish depleting all the nutrients
Oceans important
For clean air and soil
Changes in rainfall
Are causing major crop failures
Shifting patterns Interconnected planet
Shifting patterns Interconnected planet

Shitshow
02:55
|

Stay at home order as the cases rise
Unless you are essential for the economy
Risk your life to go to work so you can pay the rent
Waiting for the stimulus while the government takes a break
Don’t wanna go out in the shitshow
It really is so stressful
Keep seeing all the guys with dick nose
And the half ass safety protocols
Statistics ignored because you are bored
You think your freedom is being secured
Your selfishness so reckless
It’s because of you we’re in this big mess
So many people won’t follow the mandate
Everyone has their own own idea of how things should be
I see your birthday parties, graduations, sporting games
This is why we’re stuck inside no progress being made
Don’t wanna go out in the shitshow
It really is so stressful
Keep seeing all the guys with dick nose
And the half ass safety protocols
Statistics ignored because you are bored
You think your freedom is being secured
Your selfishness so reckless
It’s because of you we’re in this big mess
Numbers shifting into high alert
All this division makes everything worse
Everyone knows everything so don’t even try
I thought I knew you, open up your eyes!
In this big mess…

Crimson feelings
Stare at the ceiling
Shooting down stars
Crash through for healing
Meteor showers
I am devoured
By the bright light
In this dark hour
I’m trapped in a state of sedation
I’m dealing in isolation
Dream of a body
No heart
The secret to never fading
Keep memories circulating
Dream of a body
Full heart
Breakups and shakeups
Bad news and scraped up
Walk into the room
Brighten my mood up
Deeply imbedded
There’s no forgetting
Wake up thinking
What could I’ve done different
I’m trapped in a state of sedation
I’m dealing in isolation
Dream of a body
No heart
The secret to never fading
Keep memories circulating
Dream of a body
Full heart
Clinging onto hope
Too much barbed wire
Hate to decide
What’s best for your life
I’m trapped in a state of sedation
I’m dealing in isolation
Dream of a body
No heart
The secret to never fading
Keep memories circulating
Dream of a body
Full heart

This Vigil Life

I walked past a vigil gathering
On my way to dinner on Saturday
Some things went running through my head
But didn’t think someone was dead
I have been pacing for hours
This can not be happening
When did you lose all shock value?
Preserve the legacy
Thought it was in memory of the man
Formerly known as Prince, a tribute to him
All our heroes keep moving on
While we are left here to mourn
I have been pacing for hours
This can not be happening
When did you lose all shock value?
Preserve the legacy
You are crying now
Then feed into high demand…
Here come the fog filled with ferocity
Sweeping peaceful streets road of agony
Exposed lives left in greedy hands
You are crying now then feed into high demand
I have been pacing for hours
This can not be happening
When did you lose all shock value?
Preserve the legacy
The decline in my mind so hard to believe
Fictional state, please set me free
Vilification, dissect the collection
Public scrutiny, reassembled
Hold that thought it is everything
Your family destroyed by jealousy
Imagery attached to memories
Your poetic energy
Is being possessed being possessed being possessed
Being possessed being possessed being possessed

The Damed Los Angeles, California
THE DAMED is an unapologetic Los Angeles goth infused post punk band fronted by guitarist-vocalist Heather
Hellskiss
Angular stricken guitar riffs soaked in chorus and fuzz feed the brooding bass lines weaving between the tom-ridden disco punk surf beats. Hellskiss' sarcastic, aggressive lyrics thrust like knives while maintaining a comforting and catchy melody.
