Inherent Treason

You’ve seen the headlines?
They write themselves now
Our human rights
You have sold out
They don't deserve help?
A big assumption
Just ‘cause your heart
Has ceased to function
Follow the money
It's so transparent
From point to point on
Your traitor’s errand
It may not be soon
But we will have you
Pay reparations
Long overdue
Your false gods
And your masters
Will not save
You fucking bastards
Inherent treason
Will be remembered

Punching up at Mirrors

Reflected by foul-colored lights
I see your face
Within your eyes I notice mine
I see my face
Intuitive, diminutive
I feel your traits
Perspective -- I’ve none to give
I am your traits
I am my own
Work against myself
Follow you to hell
I am my own
Harder than, you see
Than it has to be
I am my own
I replicate your DNA
Your sequel
Disassociate -- maybe I’m too late
My prequel
I am my own
Work against myself
Follow you to hell
I am my own
Harder than, you see
Than it has to be
I am my own
I am my own worst enemy

You Call Yourself

You call yourself
The master of your art
I can’t believe the gall
You call yourself
The master of your home
As you walk the crooked halls
Passing through
On your way
You call yourself
Self-sufficient when you’re not
Can’t survive without your thrall
You call yourself
So secure when your alone
I await your kingpin’s fall
Passing through
On your way
Don’t you know that there’ll be hell to pay?

Measure the Success Of
04:12

Measure the success of
Your life by your savings
Children, carbon footprints,
The fame; all your playthings
Measure the success of
Your peers by their agings
Houses, social gath’rings,
Their sheer lack of failings
Follow the path
Of tangible lies
Follow the ancients
Don’t look inside
Measure the success of
Your legend while you live it
Mirrors, echo chambers
Affirm primal instincts
Measure the defeat of
Your ego while you feed it
White noise from your speakers
Ignore -- you won't need it
Follow the path
Of tangible lies
Follow the ancients
Don’t look inside

Mark Hennessey Reading, Pennsylvania
Mark wrote his first decent song when he was 14. That was 19 years ago. Since then, he's been writing, playing and recording music in various corners of New York and Pennsylvania, cultivating his own brand of art rock, which comes with a surprisingly personal touch. This sound was first captured on his 2016 solo debut, The Difference Engine, and has been evolving ever since. ... more
