What I say they say:

Welcome to contentment wrapped in elegant fabrics
Enjoy the lavish buffet at our eminent palace
For pleasure and passion add temptress to mattress
- lube to lessen the traction and get ready for action
to harvest actuality's cardinal particles
- at this marvelous carnival of perpetual magic
Carnivore - come better your status
- where dexterous dashes can etch letters in planets!

Well I say:

..as rampant depression impregnates disaster
to history's echoes - because we're telling it backwards
we burn expectations hereafter in redolent trashcans
- and ferry the ashes to retrograde landfills
So bring whatever weapons of havoc;
- I'll expose your beggarly tactics in seconds by grabbing
nothing but tools of spelling and grammar
- Megadeath drive bys to put heavy metal in rappers

I ask:

Ever slipped unnoticed past the system's focus
like an unrestricted ogre with vicious motives
leaving faces blackened and windows broken
to get mad pussy because you're a shitty poet?
Ever wiped cum off with an eviction notice
to merrily kick it knowing the bitch is homeless?
Ever avoided arrest despite poisonous breath
because your employer attests you haven't taken twisted doses
- and driven loaded, while your lawyer behests
a striking of every single "wrongful" offense?
The key is programmed in our cancerous cells
- spreading a rancorous smell as the animus swells
at any random fancy having atoms scatter
- the capacity to define what reality spells
Just look to your old pal Language for help
because nothing else matters - not even matter itself
