Freedom Fucked

Fifty hours,
I'm losing my life
one week
at a time.
We are
congenial for the
sake of
remaining on good terms with
bosses and colleagues
and clientele
I would rather punch
than greet in the
morning.
Bosses, colleagues,
clientele,
how can you be so content
with this?
Chasing mirages in an endless desert;
Proclaiming this
to the scorching sun,
that "I feel so free, we're so fucking free and
I feel so alive!"
I'm filling my mouth with sand,
I don't feel free,
I don't feel alive,
at all.

It's 4am and I have come to the conclusion
that songs smell like you,
they swagger from side to side
and prance around with a nimble gait
Down from a hilltop
in only your undergarments
skin glistening in the sun
strolling in front
as if its master,
frayed red strands singeing;
it made my stomach turn.
You make my
stomach turn—
even now.

We spread out mile
by mile.
Mile by mile.
And when we pick ourselves off of the pavement,
it will already be too late.
There will be no one to stop us.
There will be no one to stop this,
Oversaturation.
To leave us in the sun to dry out.
Leave us.
To spread out
and dissolve
Inch by inch.
Foot by foot.
Mile by mile.
I will pick myself off of the pavement
to your
selective hearing.

I watch late night television;
I know all there is to know.
Machines applaud on cue,
machines like you.
With closed eyes there's just the sound of sour feelings—
the sound of steel against steel.
This is the outcry from
the top of the world.
That I watch late night television so
I know all there is to know.
Wake up.
They're building a cage around you.
They're dragging you to the town square.
They're burning you alive
And and they'll piss on you to put the flames out.
Wake the fuck up.

I've dreamt of this for centuries:
If we can't see your cries for help in the distance,
we'll become your flares, your smoke signals, your distance
'cause it's better that way.
To leave our glowing halos on the coat rack.
To cover our family portraits on the night table.
To lead with certainty to a destination we, ourselves, are uncertain of.
I've been dreaming for centuries.
This is a colony
just on a different scale.
Scratching our failures into the walls
with our fingernails—
new failures.
Its no secret that this is the most secretive of secrets.
This is not a game of natural selection.
This is not another step in the right direction.
We forgot
everything we are.

Fold and send all of our paper airplanes crashing off into the peaceful evening sky.
We'll stare off like we've never seen a sunset.
Like we've never seen a hopeless nosedive plane crash.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
Keep making that crying face;
that one's my favorite.
This is over.
This is a hopeless nosedive plane crash.
Plummeting...
So hold your tongue...
As I give you your new something...
Here's your something
to cry about.

So feed your children to the wolves
then offer yourselves—
you, me and everyone else.
This is a,
a great day
for the wolves.

Jude Fawley Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Jude Fawley was a Baton Rouge hardcore band that existed from 2006-2009. While focusing very little on producing recordings,
the four piece was set on exemplifying their dissonant musical fancies through short, frenzied sets—anytime, anywhere and with anyone.
We wish any from BR/NOLA well (newcomers too?)

Feathering A Nest
by Caddywhompus
A quite varied record. I appreciate having to stay on my toes when listening.

While I tend to prefer fast and rhythmically complex, Thou's visceral nature and sense of atmospheric melody grabs me and should grab you too.
