Welcome to Hotel Radiation
Please enjoy your stay at our lovely establishment
Many of our visitors see or hear things that do not exist
They also experience Dilated pupils, increased blood pressure
increased body temperature, loss of organs, depression and psychosis
all of which are all typical to any guest and shouldn’t frighten you in any way
Effects typically begin within half an hour and can last for up to 12 hours after leaving
Other side effects include Radiation poisoning, suicidal thoughts, and flashbacks, and enslavement to the American government
Now that we covered the boring stuff let’s get back to your extraction
oh pardon me, I meant stay
The bell hop who I see you’ve already met can assist you to your dwelling place
Enjoy and don’t forget to eat your complementary mind blockers provided in the rooms
Oh, and take a moment to enjoy our lovely Hotel Radiation Lobby music
crafted by our in house Extractors
A Limited liability corporation
Leave your individuality at the door
and watch the sunset from our lovely garden
We understand you’re over thinking

Understanding in compromise
Feed your worries
Feel the lies
Broken system
A rusty cog
The machine is dying
I heard the shots
Ring out, so loud
Ring out, so loud
The semi truck
Blew its horn
As I turned my head to say
Hey bell boy did you hear that sound
Go make sure all’s ok
Next I knew I saw you there
Bleeding in the street
loud sound dead
Another guest paints the lobby red
This is Hotel Radiation
Devastation
Realize this is something most don’t see
I find it hard to sleep at night after daily LSD
But policy is policy
And who am I to cheat
Suitcases of more body parts
Were left in 603
Then the seven times I had to fight the man in 214
Then yesterday a parasite came home inside of me

An oily film
Occupied the surface of his morning tea
A habitual occurrence
Shrugged off and blamed on his OCD
The emergence of a new vein line
Redirected to the dumpster
Sympathy denied
A sweet and simple panic spree
Subconscious fear of arbitrary deity
The design to his demise
Rotting insides
Feeble with no receiver
His cigarette burned his hand as he watched the last drop fall
Like the ultimate torture
Continual degradation of his insides
Rotting like the rusty undercarriage of his mothers ’87 Lincoln town car
And I watched as the lights of the cars drove by
Fading into darkness I could feel it creep inside
Lingering around in the heavy midnight air
Searching for a victim of arrangement
A severed glare
As they slowly disappeared
Breath grew shorter
As the cleaning crew came to see
How to remove the stain
Left behind by Extractor LLC
A vanishing point
held in front of the open door
Flooding the den
With the memories of his dying kin
No more solace
No where to go
Drew him a bath
Plugged in his old AM Radio

Rats in a Cage
05:09

A magnificent marvel of modern science
He felt the feeling creep inside him
Forever distant, dark, and staring
Always weeping, never caring
Made my way down the hall
A sign before me standing tall
Plastered there up on the wall
Don’t be late answer all our calls
The sign was read in passing glance
A common goal of modern man
Go find and burn the promised land
Now try and sleep
Blood on your hands
Watch free will through jealous eyes
wish you weren’t so deep inside
The race of rats, the human kind
We’re always watching, give your time
Theres noting left, you cant be free,
They took your time, how can’t you see?
Another memory, another dream,
Another fee tears you at the seams.
You can’t believe how far you’ve come,
A fiery pit of all you’ve known,
Relationships all turn to stone,
Your mind is theirs now let it go.
Enjoy your stay, make sure to pay,
You’ve made a scene, ruined our day,
Its not our fault you only want everything,
not a dime to drop.
What’s that now?
Retire soon?
A death vacation’s in your view.
Can’t you see all your friends?
Work till death it never ends.
Working hard like a rat,
Vermin caged, human trapped,
Behind the metal cage you cry,
Another reason, a better time.
Someone promised you some food,
Must go fast too much to lose.
Work until your bones create,
A concrete slab where you can lay.
Tiny rat, tiny cage,
Mindless human, mirrored traits,
Toxic planet, no debate.
Work real hard, you’ll stay in shape.
Over priced, you must consume,
Give up your life for something new,
Sweet escape, digital dismay,
Live the life your phone creates.
And in the end,
We’re all just rats in a cage.

Portrait of a Man
03:09
|

Living for the day I lost myself in the rain,
Feeling every drop drip down, and play through my veins.
Passing by a church I saw a man standing tall near a grave,
Weeping ever softly, sipping slowly on a sour lemonade.
Portrait of a man.
I could hear him talking too himself as a stranger sat and stared,
Leaving only traces of a life overflowing with despair.
Time elapses, mind relapses, sitting in a coffin, he was there,
Buried while still breathing, at the will of his own living hand.
Portrait of a man x2
Turning ever slowly I figured I should leave him alone,
Pulling the proverbial straws from deep in my throat,
Moving through the rain I made my way down the road. X2
Down the road.

Victim of an Extract flashback, (Realization)
Distract, deceive, collect, attack, (Realization)
Locate, arrest, beatdown, inject, (Realization)
Suffer, addict, substance, ingest. (Realization)
Disillusioned this isn’t spite,
Understand in compromise,
Follow blindly but don’t lose sight,
Ravaged brains are numb to lies.
Personalities soon removed,
Extract the sides that make you human.
Suffocate the trauma laid,
Loud machinery, locks and chains.
Try to think how’d this all start?
“Can I take your luggage?”
“Its getting dark.”
Realization, another memory,
A nervous bell hop, another memory,
Lobby music and someone saying,
“We understand you’re over thinking.”
Realize.
Realize you don’t need to know,
Your autonomy is ours, let it go,
So relax, sit back, don’t choke,
On your government provided mind control.
Welcome to hell away from home, (Realization)
Don’t mind the screams you hear alone, (Realization)
Can’t breathe, can’t feel, extract, conceal. (Realization)
You live here now, reside, unwind. (Realization)
Same confusion, don’t reprise,
A shift in character deep inside.
An unrelenting feeling it’s just you,
Countless victims fill these rooms.
Surrender to your drone like state,
Don’t let the sadness decide your fate.
Side effects include suicide,
Of all your dreams, of all that time,
Spent draining the mouth of the mind,
Nervous hours repeating rhymes.
camouflage your beating heart,
deny the body of what it wants.
Realize you can be bought,
it’s all about the price, and surrendered thoughts.
Realize.
Realize you don’t need to know,
Your autonomy is ours, let it go,
So relax, sit back, don’t choke,
On your government provided mind control.

Thank you so much for staying with us here at Hotel Radiation.
We hope you find your new life as a thoughtless, unpaid servant to the
highest order of the American government an enjoyable experience.
You know, It’s one with a real sense of community.
After all the mindless drones of the workforce are best suited in large numbers,
More hands equals more money for the powers that be.
the biggest and most powerful corporation nations know that.
Sit back and collect, while others slave for a small check.
Anyway you must be on your way,
Farewell and I do hope you have a pleasant day.
Oh and send my regards to the family,
I miss them dearly.
