August, Yours Truly - God of Ugly Things (Official Music Video)

From my newest album The Year of Pornography which came out this past November. A song that explores hate and resentment, towards systems of violence and the people that get away with too much.

LYRICS:
Like rocks and sticks
A hammer for the brightest witch
I wish I was stronger
That words made it stop
But god loves the capital
And god loves the cops
I've watched him for years now
Tying favors and knots
He likes all the young ones
He likes when they--
Piggy piggy, cut your stomach with a knife
A town of wolves came running
With babes in their jaw
I tried to remove all your teeth
But they took away my voice
A predator with no bite
I can only imagine
(In the alley, in the night)
I wanted to be pure
But you made me ugly
You made me hate
Piggy piggy with a knife
They didn't believe me
Piggy piggy in the night
I hate what you did to me
I hate how I fight
Get revenge
Cave some skulls
Maybe even make a difference
Keep your head down, boy
I know what you hide
I will drag you through the mud
Since that's where you love to lie
Love to lie
I wanted to be pure
But you made me ugly
You made me hate
Piggy piggy with a knife
They didn't believe me
Piggy piggy in the night
I hate what you did to me
I hate how I fight
Grocery store predator
Hand made by the god of ugly things
Draped with a delicate cloth
By the powers that be
Blood for the machine
Comfort for the people eaters
Pigs in a fucking blanket
I have an aching need
To understand you
And I can never
Understand you
And your mechanisms
I am not built to be sustained
And neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are you
Neither are--
/////////////////////////
I found refuge at the bar
And in a shrine in the woods
I recall when being broken
Not by the man I hate but by the systems that defended him
I expected him to be ugly
I did not expect you to shake his hand
I begged you for help
I begged you for answers
And I was crushed under your heel
And called a simple liar
But this feeling is anything but simple
The way I hate you is anything but simple
You have made me paranoid
Picking at my skin, eyes scanning the walls
This land is unsafe
Your body is unwelcome in my mind
The men in suits wrung me for a dollar
And sent me home soaked in salt
They turn their heads from brutality
Because the unfortunate reality is
Justice takes both time and money
And they have none to spare
SO DEFAME A CROCODILE
AND RIP OUT EVERY TOOTH
I AM NOT SORRY
FOR SPEAKING MY MIND
I AM SORRY
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN
