Red phosphorous and chlorate
Such delight
Ammonium nitrate is fertilized
Rendered fat gives glycerine
(It's alright, it's alright it's alright)
Mix with nitro if you want to die
Dehydrated brains need water
You can make a man anything if you can shape his mind
You can make a man into a saint if you can shape his mind
You can make a man into a beast if you can shape his mind
You can make a man kill a man if you can shape his mind

Eulogy

Oh, the perception of a piece of dirt
It's so deluded it actually thinks it wants to
Live forever
Oh, the perspective at a funeral
And who could ever understand completely
That they're going to die soon?
Decomposition is the seed of life
The only thing you'll ever know for certain
Is that one day you'll join in
I'd like to tell you that there's something more than this
I'd drink your blood if it would help
I'd like to teach you that to lose you have to be
There's always life in memory
10^14 is a masterpiece
It's an effigy of utopia
Even gods must expire
Sooner or later
This old carousel can be generous
But it wants its repayment with interest
And you should learn your place
Egotistical bastard
I'd like to tell you that there's something more than this
I'd drink your blood if it would help
I'd like to teach you that to lose you have to be
There's always life in memory, and it goes
I see a never-ending stream
I see the cosmos spiralling out to infinity
I see a billion billion creatures that have died in history
I don't see why you're so scared to leave
I don't see why you're so scared to leave

Scream out loud
It matters not
Apathy will always win
Choke out fumes
Avert your gaze
Sometimes it's hard to maintain belief
Are you hungry?
Then bite the hand that feeds
We'll revel in the spread of weeds
I know it's easy
To just not give a shit
All this apathy
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
Shooting down the road
World flashing past
Well who could've seen the turn ahead?
Now we're in hospital beds
With gashes in our heads
Then the life support is ripped from the wall
Meanwhile our mother
Is crying in pain
Her innards blacken the sky
So let's celebrate
Our negligence
Our ignorance, our blankets, our meds
I know it's easy
To just not give a shit
All this apathy
It makes me sick
It makes me sick

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry
