1.	Fall In Love With Ruination 05:00	lyrics	buy track
1. Fall in Love With Ruination Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product What I want? To be special by doing nothing Vapid trends Dance to entertain 'them' The world Encoded digitally Byte sized pieces of cheese Lure the mice enticingly All alone... 'Followers' can't fill the hole Meaningless subjugation A slave to the crowd Nothing is As it seems Manipulated Behind the scenes A nudge here The conditioned response Start to salivate With every "like" they give SOLO Rewire the brain For constant attention Values, only surface deep Implode eventually The rash of suicides Because we're dead inside Constant comparisons To the silicon lie SOLO Whispers of sanity ebbing away nihilistically Real life Fades away Always isolated To the point of disassociation The lens of existence Slowly fades to black SOLO This anxiety Follows me around constantly Always there Sitting on my shoulder You're never good enough No one likes you Your slacking off Fewer "likes" than the day before just kill yourself And get it over... Saying things in my ears Catalyzing my fears The endless drop Off the precipice of Self-Mutilation 'She' has more fans than you Cry about it on YouTube Self-absorption Leads to a psychotic break

2. Sugarwhore Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product Red light Roll camera Another day They're all the same The emptiness That prevails Voyeuristic tendencies Breaks me mentally Is this the sum? Of who I am Feed the machine That keeps on rollin' I can't compete With someone younger than me Willing to do more For less... Gone are the days Along with the meaning A better life? When I'm old and grey... Images Never forgotten The internet Always remembers A sea of eyes Forever immortalized Every curve Remembered... All the money In the world Can't buy back Your pride... Used up Then tossed aside Rivals Can lead to suicide When the oasis Turns to dust Short attention spans Move on... Empires Fall away When youth is spent You're replaced Nothing to fall back on A one way street The cold truth You're a piece of meat Gone are the days Along with the meaning A better life? When I'm old and grey... Images Never forgotten The internet Always remembers A sea of eyes Forever immortalized Every curve Remembered... All the money In the world Can't buy back Your pride... SOLO Gone are the days Along with the meaning A better life? When I'm old and grey... Images Never forgotten The internet Always remembers A sea of eyes Forever immortalized Every curve Remembered... All the money In the world Can't buy back Your pride... SOLO

6. Erotophobia Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product SOLO Intimacy Buried with a knife in it's chest Feelings Burned asunder, there's nothing left Emotional cave in Issues with trust Endless caverns Of emptiness Doused with gasoline Set alight and born to blaze I'm coming home Into the arms of night Tendrils of my essence Drifting away... Purified by the flame Shedding my old skin I rise... SOLO People avoid me They can smell the crazy Darkness surrounds me My shadow is lost I'm lost In a sea of self-consciousness Unable. Paralyzed. Closets overflowing With the skeletons of my mind I'll just wait For this to be over... SOLO I've tried so hard To put the demons to rest They'll never die Haunting me all the time SOLO Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Here I rest...
4.	Gain of Function Research 04:29	lyrics	buy track
3. Gain of Function Research Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product Playing with fire Scientific boundaries Pushing the limits Of what we can achieve Up cycle trace amounts To show what you really want Compromised protocols Playing god for the greater good Take what's already lethal And make it worse... SOLO All the people Who died under your aegis Manufactured toxicity Strikes down the frail and weak Politicians Or puppets on a string Making edicts That defy everything Read the science Or watch it on TV Censored content Can't have you seeing the real thing Tests that are meaningless Shape the narrative Fear, death porn maps Drive home the elevated stats What if I told you That's it's all lie? A clever ruse To baffle and confuse you SOLO Will you rise Or will you fall Divided, you're all alone Turning on each other The fog of war Descending on us all Corporate agendas Shape the future SOLO Cases don't equal deaths Fear, is only that A tool To keep you in line Pull back the curtain Talking heads Foment further terror Debased by information Disseminated by fake actors "Mask up, you're killing grandma" Breath recycled air No more family Goodbye community... Gotta to keep you isolated Until the plan succeeds

4. Influencer or Die Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product I swear I would never lie to you It is what it is... I'm just like you Built up, With a silver spoon Look at me now... SOLO Manufactured identity Diverse enough To fool anybody Propped up By the construct Everything Eventually fades Here today Gone tomorrow SOLO King of the moment Fool for a day Masks Cover the decay Your public position Up for sale Say anything As long as you get paid You are hollow And fake...
6.	FOMO 04:09	lyrics	buy track
5. FOMO Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product Here alone Lockdown, isolation The world spins on Excluded You're not "friends" with the right person Moments captured in time Showing up on your timeline SOLO Inside, Envy on the rise Why them... And not me? Cut out And thrown on the ground Where the losers belong The beautiful people Getting away with murder Erased from the picture Outside looking in... SOLO Darkness descends... Retreat within the self Covetous impulses Turn to hate Emotions like a runaway train Starting to affect my brain Societal norms Give way to inhibition SOLO Dreams of the darkest kind Start to pantomime Days dripping red Nights of utter dread Messianic evolution Cultural dissolution Vicarious eyes Assimilate the information Inside we die As try to live the lie Burning the candle At both ends Substance abuse Is just the beginning Sleeping pills or razor blades Nooses or falling Extinguish the light Of a life well lived...
7.	He Wears The Black Crown 05:10	lyrics	buy track
He Wears the Black Crown Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product SOLO Sometimes life, throws you a curve It catches you, unprepared The castle, made of sand Crumbles, when the tide comes in When the fairy tale it dies Left with the pieces of life Broken and strewn about Crushed by the self-doubt I never thought things wouldn't work out... You wonder if you can do it again After everything that's happened No one ever sees the tears in the rain Feeling lost and alone again All the things, that made you dream Crashing down, with such finality Left with the wreckage and the pain What does it matter at the end of the day? Trust me, the sun will rise And you'll have meaning, in your life Nothing ever stays the same Life is a cruel game... Ashes trampled under foot Questions poorly understood When the fairy tale it dies Left with the pieces of life Broken and strewn about Crushed by the self-doubt I never thought things wouldn't work out... You wonder if you can do it again After everything that's happened No one ever sees the tears in the rain Feeling lost and alone again All the moments of happiness Are buried under the avalanche Years of toil all for not Their faces, you soon forget The years are a terrible weight You come to terms that you can't escape Reconcile the good with the bad You can't always be sad...
8.	Drone Swarm 04:47	lyrics	buy track
8. Drone Swarm Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: You Are The Product Technology... Turned against you Surveillance... Turned against you Freedoms... Die in the night Cold and starving Aired out... Isolated and constrained The eye in the sky, relentless... Normalized and introduced with force Drones are watching you Eliminate The politically inconvenient Exterminate Wrong think Big data Modeling the world Predictive algorithms Keep you down Freedom of movement Killed at the source Stay in your homes Police state engaged SOLO Weaponized Against free people Nefarious goals Achieved through technology A population controlled Is already dead Empires Fade all together
