Institute - Catharsis (2015)


Institute - Catharsis Lyrics

1. Perpetual Ebb

why come when friends and fruitless lovers
look to me for shit
i got no love - got no passion
can't feel intimate

picture yourself on a dock in a bay
gulls flux - ships leave for the day

the world is all too clear
in terms of robbe-grillet
just a disconnected spoiled disarray
who's dull emotionally

a perpetual ebb
a decay
the ocean's tide always pulls away

a perpetual ebb
a decay
under the dock in a summer bay
life struggles as i pull away

but you know i really love you
though i act differently
an ungrateful mess that at it's best
still fails miserably

pull away from the parapet and the quay
expose slate - weeds - selfishly

this moon will never wax
it will always wane
got a fall that won't lead to spring
one season indefinitely

2. Admit I'm Shit

an insolent brat
nowadays
depression's to blame for how i act today
constantly needing to say
how i am so sorry

for my insecurities
decisions i made
back in la
made a bigoted cocksure coil out of me

beat me like a dog
to a pulp
until you can't recognize me
beat me to the floor
like a pulp

admit i'm shit
i'm shit

admit i'm shit
though it's hard
because every day i've gone too far

3. I Am Living Death

nothing can make life worthwhile
i see no brightness to her smile

approaching death with a smirk
oh this smirk
this life don't work

because we are already living death
life - a death
my memories - a death
sentience - a death
childhood - a death
experience - a death
on another plane we are already a death

4. Cheerlessness

rank renaissance affair
was such a pity
as were my feelings toward
battersea
recalls a wasted time
my fragility
suppressed nature
inside of me

blight - techno - puberty
unrewarding underwhelmed
could've been out to get a fuck
regretfully suppressed it well

a fertile boy hid a way
maimed that dog
made it lame
didn't want to hear or say
sexuality in anyway
purity?
more like abyss
a self-imposed cheerlessness
abhorred it
abhorred it
to no end

having the timourous expression
of a dog been whipped
scarred - it whimpers
an empty heart - an empty bed
priapus shakes his head

but i digress - excuse me
these words don't convey the shame
just some smutty shit i came up with today

5. Interlude

n/a

6. Untitled

n/a

7. Leathernecks

a leatherneck feels alright
for a brief time

it didn't help me in anyway

the joke that is our lives
somehow bitters - somehow blinds

an open heart feeling kind ultimately heals the mind

8. Cheaptime Morals

consumption sick plastic fumes
plastic fumes and rot
cheaptime morals cheaply made cheaply bought
i peak kind pleasures so pleased i got
cheaptime morals cheaply made cheaply bought
capitalist boom and bloom
no flowering finger up
cheaptime morals cheaply made cheaply bought
blooming - what i'm not

9. Billowing Mind

n/a

10. Christian Right

undermined by the christian right
preach peaceful hearts - peaceful crimes
who said they've got a right - a right to be proud
when they condemn lives of an unorthodox crowd
they preach money - success - war
while we're condemned for indulging fervor
tell me who's got a conscious that's more pure?
a servant of god or a girl they call a whore?
