Welcome 01:52
Commander of Hierarchical Preservation Premier of Fear And All That is Unholy Archbishop of Archaic Endeavours Minister of Divisive Civilization President of Pussy Grabbing And Patriarchal Domination Ambassador of Greed And Exploitation All gathered notables: Welcome. We have gathered here today to say we do not stand for what you stand for While today we are here in peace, tomorrow may not be the same For a long time we have been slouched in the cracks of the shallows Shrouded by shadows in gallows, enslaved by lives you’ve imposed Lives like batteries: toxicly disposed We stand here teeth chattering, obviously battered by lives under your chattel Today your reign has come to an end Harrowing days lived in disdain of others gaze all blazed and branded By you the few who’ve banned to place yourselves above the people We’ve had enough.

No feelings under fluorescent lights What a beautiful place to build a pipeline This land is not mine, but that’s just fine. What a beautiful place to cut down trees Soon we’ll have you on your knees, doing whatever we please What a beautiful place to steal water Why do you think they're drilling under the water? No feelings under fluorescent lights Peace, or the absence at least Is this depression? Empty has no discretion But I’m filled with violent hums, walking aisles of blur-lined boredom Do you know companies pay more to have their products on the middle shelf? Pennies fill every crack, every inch of myself No feelings under fluorescent lights
3.
Destroy sacred mountains - make them look like white men Harbingers of destruction, death, slavery, and abduction And your god’s got a huge cock Yet from it everything came? But you're using his name in vain Every time a culture is slain For you to pave the way to heaven’s pearly gates While leaving millions in your wake “Just savage dogs lying in their own waste” No feelings under fluorescent lights

Sanded till you're round Chiseled, scraped, and ground No sense of self can be found Just pests in our towns Built on stolen grounds by hoodwinked and herded crowds Homes built on red skulls History has holes Question everything you’re told Good books don’t get published Just tossed in the rubbish and picked up by some gutter punk Slouched in some shit bins, wasting everything Telling me that trash is king But kings, I don’t trust, and queens are worthless Civilized life’s dead to me So stop saying thank you for things that I do Get off your ass and fight too For humankind is doomed There’s nothing to do; fuck it! There’s nothing to lose!

Compost Bomb 01:13
No feeling under fluorescent lights We are all eternal May stop us now We are all eternal Compost bomb breakdown We are all eternal May stop us now We are all eternal Lordship will breakdown

We become enslaved From the day we’re made Forced to gain a wage To participate In colonial states “Civilized” mistakes Are digging our graves Now our future’s played That means it’s erased Not part of the frame And we’re all to blame Hot heads burst to flames We must all act now Leave behind the crowds Force ourselves to fathom A future we’re proud of If states are a necessary evil Why is evil necessary? Taught to stay Sit and wait Devastate Accept Fate Trust is waste When it’s placed On a face Made from disgrace What is paranoia?

Enslaved 03:45
We’ve become enslaved BURN IT DOWN

Surfaces 00:57
The birthen rhythm Forbidden within them Within you Misused by you for more than two purposes Twenty-two, forty-four Induced worthlessness Like porpoises trapped beneath unbreachable surfaces Superfluous like the raps that are in vogue Coke that cracks the inside of your nose Freedom of speech for racist homophobes And socializing only through phone

Sing along to the throes of a dying world Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga sunburn! If you don’t get louder they won’t hear a word Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga sunburn We’ve taken ice picks to the Arctic snow Siphoning Earth’s last breath through charcoal straws Fucking the water like Flint and Woburn Giving ourselves a Cuyahoga sunburn Raise a tent in the badlands Raise a fist in the street If you’re wondering what comes next Feel the ground shake beneath Sing along to the throes of a dying world Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga sunburn! If you don’t get louder they won’t hear a word Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga! Cuyahoga sunburn

Burnout 03:17
Miami is the new Atlantis Up in their board rooms they fucking planned this Karma comes down Acid rain will burn us out Silence screams “no!” The Earth will inherit peace Silent tongues scream “no!” The Earth will inherit peace

Mindless 11:49
A piece of it stays with me all year round This remedy, it's constantly weighing me down And all I’ve seen is river-bound Not all put in the ground And all I feel is so profound For all, our minds must be sound They want us to Sip from their spoon While we swoon Fuck that! They want us to Sip from their spoons While we swoon Fuck them! Time stands still No one notices, no one will That which is right in their hands Standing there frozen Soon we will Know we’re chosen, know we are Chosen to stop those who stand In darkness beholden Is time real? It has been written, written in Texts meant to blind those who build Their snow white world army Succinct lust For mindless armies, killing for Control over all who can Keep them from harming They want us to Sip from their spoon While we swoon Fuck that! They want us to Sip from their spoons While we swoon Fuck them! Time stands still We have noticed, noticed the privilege in living this life No longer frozen Those who keep Golden dollars, they will be Stripped of their own sense of self In darkness forgotten People aren’t the enemy We are all the remedy For the past’s calamities

about

"Trash is King," Supermissive's debut full-length, explores the violent and oppressive confines of life in a settler-colonial state. Supported by heavy, psychedelic, and progressive instrumentation, "Trash is King" explores issues such as the oppression of indigenous peoples, the white supremacy and patriarchy, environmental neglect and destruction, mindlessness, and privilege.

Flowing continuously throughout the majority of the album, "Trash is King" was written as 4 larger acts and eventually split into 11 tracks.
