lyrics

Chaos
Let it descend into bedlam
A calling card for the masses
The fragility of the system
All it takes is one bad day
Cordite
Black smoke
Party favors
Ammunition
Bullets and bodies and slapstick slaughter
Gunpowder and kerosene
Strip away the civility
Let the facade come crashing down
Clinging to the illusion of control
Just let it go
Free the bird but break the wings
Let them panic
Meaningless patterns and choices
Here morality serves no purpose
How does it feel?
I'll make sure it hurts
It's a cosmic joke
Setting fire to the plans and procedures
Burning down the status quo
Headfirst down the rabbit hole
Nothing up my sleeve
We're a step away from calamity
You've got some nerve
Saying we have some semblance of normalcy
Holocaust
Genocide
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Let it descend into bedlam
A calling card for the masses
The fragility of the system
All it takes is one bad day
Come one come all
To the greatest show on earth
It's you
It's me
We live in a society
So burn loot and murder
Pretend you're still civilized
Cordite
Black smoke
Party favors
Ammunition
Bullets and bodies and slapstick slaughter
Gunpowder and kerosene
Strip away the civility
All you do is push and pull
Grinding each other into dust
Clinging to the illusion of control
Allow me to prove the point
Sever the spine
Let them panic
Meaningless patterns and choices
Here morality serves no purpose
Come with me
Take my hand
And we'll dance
Falling through the beam
Free fall pirouette
Laughing the whole way down
We both know that I'm the sane one here
I'm the sane one here

about

Killing In Apathy Austin, Texas

A long time mainstay in the Austin Tx metal scene.

After a reunion in 2019 and a subsequent fight with an empty beer cooler, the band was reborn.

Now, fueled mainly by male pattern baldness, middle aged rage, booze and butt coffee, Killing In Apathy is back and better than ever, determined to leave no ass unkicked. ... more
