lyrics

Tucked his head between his legs to wither away.
He blackened his heart,
Blackened his lungs,
Blackened his veins.

Stained sheets.
Scrapes on their feet.
Throw them
Back out to the streets.

Blamed my luck too many times to count on my hands,
But I’ve lost my way,
Lost my hope,
Lost balance.

Stained sheets.
Scrapes on their feet.
Throw them
Back out to the streets.

Stained sheets.
Scrapes on their feet.
Sent out,
Nothing to eat.

Most are discarded with mental ailments.
They lost their minds.
Lost their homes.
Lost their way.

And we do fucking nothing,
Except retract our hands,
Close our doors,
And shield our eyes.
Ideas of retribution
Have also done nothing.
We pretend to reform the poor
While tending to the rich.
You don’t understand
Until you want to die.
When life feels unbearable,
And the next step is impossible,
Knowledge, respect and
Understanding are key.
Why not treat them like your own?
How could you be too busy
For your community?

about

High Priest Virginia

The light in you begins to fade.

Growls play against your skin. You hear riffs that shrill with tyranny. Distant drums bang louder as you drift closer to your end.

You engage with the madness, letting go of all mortal bounds.

In perpetuating servitude, you've made it to us.

Welcome to forever. We are High Priest.
