Denial, Cursed Since Birth, Censorship? What the Hell Are You Talking About?, and Honoring the Dead

Denial

  I'm not an alcoholic
  I'm a connoisseur
  Look at my shelf, you will learn
  That I've tasted and enjoyed many whiskeys
  From Kentucky to Ireland, Tennessee to Scotland
6  Many more have been represented on my tongue
  All I can remember are the joyous frolics
  And all of the truths that I'd unearth
  Each taste from each barrel churned
  Has been more pleasure than I can conceive
  It's all that I demand
12 For relaxation, work, and fun
  Do you have money to lend me?
  All of these bottles are empty

Cursed Since Birth

  I'm the luckiest person ever born
  Fuck what you say
  It isn't evident?
  Not at all?
  I'll prove it to you
6  ...
  ...
  You don't know anything

Censorship? What the Hell Are You Talking About?

  Did you hear about what just happened?
  Something awful happened to innocent people
  I never perceived this asshole as violent
  As a man, as a real man I say
  That this means that the greater society is awful
6  Every person that lives and breathes
  Has been influenced by another's creativity
  We all have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality
  Especially those people who tell stories with moving pictures
  They'll never realize
  Their fucking lies
12 Storytelling is humanity's greatest tradition
  Morals are defined and taught or denied
  But why aren't paintings similarly chastised?
  They can be just as moving and drastic
  Photographs frozen in horror's space
  What about all the books those photographs inspired?
18 That school rampage can't be influenced by a news article
  Nor a painting or photograph or a bird chirping
  It had to be film, because he couldn't have just woke up
  And felt like killing everyone on earth that day
  Everyone is born with the purity of heaven
  That is how humanity has been programmed
24 You can only learn how to demean and destroy
  We don't learn how to be nice
  It just happens
  Kill all the killers for worship
  Paint pictures of their photographs
  Sing all your songs for them and name your band their name
30 Word after word written to become their film
  That taught the killers to kill
  And commanded us to kill the killer
  Please stop creating things
  They influence inherently good people
  To do inherently bad things
36 All artists must die

Honoring the Dead

It feels really good
To apologize to you
Now that you are gone
