They Don't Cry Wolf
Again and again
They show a public display
And call out for attention
Of others of their flawed dismay
Is it to feed the ego?
(Do they cry wolf?)
Over and over
Over posting
All of their emotions
Overexposed
Pointing out where they hurt the most
Do they want more attention?
(Do they cry wolf?)
Day after day
More of the same thing
Overly burdensome, overly draining
Unceasing calling out
Can they help themselves?
(Do they cry wolf?)
Wave upon wave
Sensations overwhelming
Downward spirals, ever unending
Crashing down, them, repeatedly
Do they get up?
(Do they cry wolf?)
One by one
Total frayed friends
Can anyone listen
Or does it fall on deaf ears?
Who is up for understanding?
(Do they cry wolf?)
They say he needs to hang in there
Until he needs to hang himself
They say she needs to jump up in life
Until she jumps off a bridge
They say he needs to give life a shot
Until he shoots off his face
They say that life’s a gas
Then she turns the knob all the way
They all seem to call out when they mentally are in pain
No ego to be gained
An attention go-getter
Or an exhibited chain of irrational actions
Wanting a reaction
Self-indulgence
What is it that they are trying to achieve
Make anyone believe
We don’t know if-
(that) They are really just a jerk
Is it one of their quirks?
Everyone’s exhausted
This could be the reason why they have no friends
Problematic end
Damaged goods
They need to figure it out for themselves
They’re stigmatized
We can’t help them
They say he went off the rails
Which is why he jumped in front of a train
They say life is hard to breathe
And that’s why he choked himself
They say there are pasts to mend
Unless you slit your wrists
They say that the opposite of up is down
Which was the direction that that she fell
Week after week
Weak revealing
A strength not ever possessed
They make others stressed
Is it a call of distress?
(Do they cry wolf?)
Time and time
Again, another call out of the same
Same as the last time
Same as the last time
How is this any different?
(Do they cry wolf?)
Push after push
Never seen moving forward
A struggle not understood
Only pushed down
They cannot push no further
(Do they cry wolf)
Isolation was never so inviting
Depressingly “exciting”!
“Now that he is gone
I feel just so bad
I wish I could have done more when he was feeling sad”
“Now that she is dead
From all the things she said
I wish I was there for her to stop what lied ahead”
Night after night
Darkness, permanently
A blind eye you turned
From the actions you lacked
You are not genuine
(They don’t cry wolf)
Attempt after attempt
They were crying inside
The wolf came out and took them alive
Took advantage when most vulnerable
Wolf killed them, they don’t cry wolf
They don’t cry wolf (14x)
They
Don’t
Cry
Wolf!

Some Few Facts (And One False One) About Birds
Birds, Linnet, Aves, Zogj, Tori, Vogels, Chim, Niăolèi, Fugla, Des Oiseaux, Uccelli
Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!
I like to look at the birds and
I like to feed the birds seed
I like to see them fly everywhere
They’re better than humans I swear
The beak
The wings
They peck
It stings!
They fly
They soar
They do
Not bore
Churp!
They speak!
Sounds
It sings
Feet
They hop
Skip, hop, jump and
Hop some more
Birds
They peep
They roar
I like to look at the birds – TWEET!
Humans are a bunch of turds – CHEAP!
Corvids give you gifts
If you’re really nice to them
Albatross can sleep
While actually in flight
I like to look at the birds and
I find them so fascinating
They fly just about everywhere
Humans are dilapidating
A duck’s quack cannot echo
Owls cannot move their eyes but rotate their heads 270°
Woodpeckers cannot get a headache
But can peck up to 20 times a second
I like to look at the birds (they’re)
Up very high IN THE SKY (in which)
Humans are unable to fly
They jump, fall, hit the ground and die
So they’ll stick to walking
Birds
They eat/Insects
Move seeds/Pollen
Around/From sea
To land/Clean up
After/Mass death
Pigeons/Seagulls
Scavenge/Discard
Food scraps
Humans/Pollute
Climate/Changing
Threatened/Poisoned
We treat/Careless
(That’s right!)
Birds are such a tremendous gift
They fly over-Oh shit!
(Bird poop!)
Aaaaaaaa!
I just got shat on!
I like to look at the birds and
I like to feed the birds seed
I like to see them fly everywhere
They’re better than humans I swear!
(4x)
We cannot live without them!

Last
This will be the last day you wake up to
This will be the last time your eyes open
This will be the last moment you will stand
This will be the last time you take a walk
This will be the last time you take a drink
This will be the last taste of your choice foods
This will be the last time when you will think
This will be the last view reading the news
This will be the last time you see your friends
This will be the last time you see their face
This will be the last time you hug your cat
This will be the last trip to a great place
This will be the last time for reflection
Your imperfections
This will be the last day to have regrets
No turning back now
Life's many upsets
No changing that now
This will be the last kiss that you will give
This will be the last embrace you will get
This will be the last time that you will forgive
This will be the last time that you have met
This will be the last joyful orgasm
This will be the last moment of pleasure
This will be the last time you hit that drum
This will be the last time you see life's a blur
This will be the last time you see your mom
This will be the last time you see your dad
This will be the last watching that sitcom
This will be the last time that you get sad
This will be the last time you give a crap
This will be the last of daily routines
This will be the last time you take a nap
This will be the last time you eat your greens
What is there to fear (la la la la la - yes yes!)
When the end is near (la la la la la - yes yes!)
Is this really fate (la la la la la - yes yes!)
This is not too great (It isn’t up to us)
Things we do for pleasure and joy
Even the days that are routine
Comes a day to every girl and boy
When tomorrow will be left unseen
Our life cease existing, nil
Neither here or there, we're unaware
Time cannot be left so still
An end is something you cannot prepare
This will be the last time you will have sex
This will be the last time you will be held
This will be the last time at that address
This will be the last time when you have yelled
This will be the last time you take a flight
This will be the last time you cook your food
This will be the last time you reach this height
This will be the last time to be subdued
This will be the last time when you will sleep
This will be the last word you will murmur
This will be the last time that you will weep
This will be the moment when life is over
There will come a day
On our beds we lay
Life's final chapter closes
We look to one more view
All that's taken for granted
Ends in one instant flash
You have no choice
You have no choice
There is no advantage
To this disadvantage
When it’s all over

Fake news
Is reality really just reputable
On something that's proven credible
A half truth is not a truth at all
Two half truths they equal fiction
Down the rabbit hole
Of misinformation
Factual fail
(Much worse than propaganda)
Far from stated facts
It is a bunch of crap
You are in a trap
This song is not a song (you are wrong)
What is there to believe if we play along
What is fact and what is a simple lie
Do your research to know what to verify
Is the NEWS you read fully certified
Fact from fiction/truth over opinion
I have a mind of my very own
And know the difference between right and wrong
I will make my own decisions
And not fall to falling into fallible traits

Is reality really just reputable

A half truth is not a truth at all
Two half truths they equal fiction
Down the rabbit hole
Of misinformation
Factual fail
(Much worse than propaganda)
Far from stated facts
It is a bunch of crap
You are in a trap
This song is not a song (you're still wrong)
Information’s been there all along
These are the facts you deny
Your choices! You fail to verify
Things made up, invention that just detracts
Blindly believe without backing up the facts
Equals walking crudely blindfolded
Into a blind curve on a busy road
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haa!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Hahaha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Hahaa!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaa?
You're not dreaming. Your lack of being in the mindset of truth makes it like it's your world, oblivious of your own outward harming of the contempt that hides you to anything real. You drown in your own genuine ingenuity. Estivate in your own fragile bubble, quickly going down, down, down, touching the ground and busting out to what should destroy your perceptions of distorted outlook, hurtful and full of shithood power that can lead into a path of destruction. Because you choose to believe what should not be believed that is made believe. I choose not to believe that make believe and accept actuality. This is the true emotion. This is the true emotion. But don't take me up on that.

Apart from one another
Isolate, Separate
Survive to see another day
And die later in days to come
We are masked within a veil
Muffled words not so clear
Covered up in a protective shield
We may sing and let us go
We may shout and let all know
We could talk and speak words
It’s

Not “Again”
Make America Great, but lose the 'Again' part
It was never great to begin with
Historical foundation, a colonized nation
Simulation, deception, oppression, corruption
Loser in Chief in command
Who's racist, sexist, fascist, rapist
A false power
The notion that you lack
Is human emotion and humanity
That you've never had
Fabricate the lies for those to believe
Power being a virus you cannot see
You’ve been had
You’ve been had
You’ve been had
You have been had
Leader of the free world, unfathomable, speaks
Full of words, full of wind
Full of being totally empty
Sound pollutions VOID VOID VOID of any human empathy
A heart less the size of both your tiny hands
You’ve been had
You’ve been had
You’ve been had
You’ve been had (etc. repeatedly)
(Not “again”, not “again”) (repeat)
Thrown under the bus (repeat)
Void! Void! Void! Void! (repeatedly)
Of Amity
Of Charity
Of Decency
And Dignity
And Empathy
(Not “again”)
Of Equity
Of Modesty
Of Probity
And total lack of Sympathy
(Not “again”)
Red infected, misdirected, disinfected, bleach injected
It could knock it out in a minute
Patriotic or just pathetic
Actions not a laughing matter
When it points to the latter
To be great, one must move forward
and not backwards
To new ideas in a steady pace
And break old habits
That never worked in the first place
You should lose the ability
Of your throat and fingers
Your finest legacy
You!
Deserve none at all!

Surplus 1980 Oakland, California
Masterminded by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's Moe Staiano, Surplus 1980 is a whip-smart musical collective from Oakland, CA. Taking cues from the angular punk bands of the 1980s, Surplus 1980 fuses a fierce, muscular attack with experimental out-jazz and couples that with Staiano's playful lyrics, updating the angular rhythms of post-punk's old guard to a modern-day soundtrack of uneasy listening. ... more
