OILED ANIMALS Lyrics by Pharmakon

Maggot Mass

2024

Do not attempt
To capture them
The oiled animals
Flushed from their dens
Slick with sainthood
Glossed and sheen
Annointed in our greed
Bend any further
Any closer
Hairs in your nostrils
Singe and burn
No need
You get the taste
In your mouth
Just from vapours
In the air
Waking a painful, cold shock
Like smelling salts - still
No better off
Save for the suffering
Save for the suffering
Extinction event is coming
A festering grudge
Buried deep
In the bosom of the natural world
We’ve been a narcissistic and petulant child
Stare at our reflection
Till nothings left
Every living thing a pet
Manicured and neutered
Bent to our will
Stretched to capacity
We dominate
Domesticate
Eradicate
Procreate
Dominate
Domesticate
Eradicate
Procreate
Lay down your arms
Lay down your heads
Take no more and
Leave nothing left
Just lay still
On the earth
Until it's time
To lay in it
I'll sit still in the dirt
Until I become of it
I'd rather be
Moss on a stone
Or the vapors in the air
A lowly maggot
Fly reborn
To be anything but human
We are hell on earth
Ringing death's knell
An arrogance that stains the dirt
To make life out of rot
Eating death to feed the chain
Or as scum in a pond
Needs only light to sustain
To live life without waste
To face death without pain
To a life without pain
To a death without waste
”I wish that I could photosynthesize, to make food out of light and water, to make medicines and give them away for free, to do the work of the world and for the world, while standing silently in the sun, but I can’t. I’m not an autotrophe, a producer, but a heterotrophe. I’m an animal. I’m destined by my biology to be a consumer. I must take from the world in order to live.”
