Plica Vocalis Retribution

They wanted the purest silence

24 karat taciturn acoustics

Whenever the “wrong” kind of male voice is spotted in earshot

Not a raised one or a defiant one

Just existing made them inflamed

Vying for the erasure for the crime of just being

Excuses compound together

Under the subterfuge of azure eyes

The extraction happened

No contract, warnings, or potions

Yet chaining the vocal cords

The desire to bring it back scorched brightly

Once the morales lower than Mariana’s Trench were in sight

Diving towards a thousand fathoms

Where no one can hear anyone scream

Vocal larceny was at it’s peak

And it was a challenge to get it back

How dare they rob the sound

Once the voice would be retrieved

Only a more aggressive homage to a devil ray mage crafted by the Rising Sun

Yet transplanted from a Nordic kingdom would suffice for them

The thievery guild will be repaid in kind

Forever the muted scourges

Writhing without sound

As bodies dissolve into foam

On the acidic ocean they created

Such retribution was a primal scream

When the thieves became infautated by their romance of one person’s silence

In Response to Those Selectively Saying “Be Kind”

The selective logic just became more obvious

Those who thought the former duchess was attention seeking

Were the same who sobbed about Robin Williams and Chester Bennington to name a few

Saving face was the name of the game

As people become keyboard mental health activists of convenience

Where was MY sympathy whenever I spoke up about my issues years ago?

I wouldn’t be surprised if my former bouts of self-harm made certain people ecstatic

Mental health only mattered to some

As the addendums don’t need to be addressed explicitly or reverse engineered dog whistles

Others should be thankful I’m not a troll or a bully

Who knows what psychological damage I could do if I was good at insulting others

Maybe being kind wasn’t as much of a weakness (even with my bouts of solipsism)

Digital facades have always been on parade

As I’ve seen those who’ve said “Be kind!”

Have been total douchebags offline and/or online

Spare me the fake encouragement

People have actually acknowledged what Ospreyshire was about? (or, the buzz about Pathos Formula Wave)

Ever since I dropped my Pathos Formula Wave EP, it has been amazing that people are actually talking about it. Whether it’s comments on my blog, emails I’ve been getting, or some texts from my friends, I’ve been getting notice that so many of you are talking about it.

I hate to sound selfish, but that makes me happy even though this EP involves some of my angriest work.

Ospreyshire was mainly a vehicle for my spoken word projects with an avant-garde bent to them. I think for the past couple of years, people have only known my for my film reviews or my fiction projects. Part of this is my fault for focusing on that and for not recording much during that time period besides the occasional compilation contribution. So far, I have 2 EPs, 3 exclusive non-album tracks on compilations, and 3 singles so far. I hope you all appreciate my recordings as much as my other content on different blogs.
