Attention for attention's sake Inflated ego perfect fake Line by line reporting Desperate last resorting Small minds miss the goal No diamonds in this coal Talking points repeated Forever feeling cheated Pre-chorus: What's really going on A lie upon the page What's really going on An actress on the stage Chorus: Breaking breaking What moral panic are you Faking Faking Lying every moment that you're Waking Waking Raging at the world til you're Shaking Shaking Oblivious to everything you're breaking Brave behind computer screens Belle of all the drama queens Whistles turn to bullhorns Victims straight from newborns Craft a story context free Facts be damned philosophy Worldview through a keyhole Fighting lack of control Pre-chorus: What's really going on Facts are put on trial What's really going on Satan's smirking smile Repeat chrous
2.	Desperate Little Prick 03:22	lyrics	buy track
An ego so inflated You think you’ll make a dent But nevermind you’re hated Like all you represent Life has fucked you dry More times than you’ll admit The fact that you still try Just makes me wish you’d quit Chorus: Desperate little prick A desperate little prick That rotten brain is sick Trapped inside a desperate little prick Stumble through the days Impotent with rage You’d help your family ways If you worked to earn a wage Your life is filled with holes And the ever present sound Of all your falling goals That drive you to the ground Chorus: Desperate little prick A desperate little prick You’re dumber than a brick Just another desperate little prick Desperate little prick A desperate little prick So sorry about your dick Karma for a desperate little prick Desperate little prick A desperate little prick So sorry about your dick Karma for a desperate little prick

about

Malachite Riot St. Louis, Missouri

Getting back to writing/recording after 20 years off. Workin' solo until I can find a band - just me and Garageband. Very excited to get back into the swing of things.
