Scraping this cake Dumping crumbs from the plate Straight to the face Proceed for solution Carrot is chased And bodies will break To make an escape From a land of illusion Need?! Bleed more! And bones will break Like promises Croon to the sky The sewer's alive Can't move thru the slime With the side of an eye Got pushed to a side Her, him, you and I Proof in the pie That humans will lie When truth is denied They'll do it on site Then move in the night And prove that they're right Ambidextrous on the white picket Revamped lust, Vapors inhaled when the wick's lit Pillage a head, a villainous thread You tread thru the serpents, That sleep in your bed Who can we trust Who can we trust A few can be trusted Who can we trust A cancer scoped under the knife Got left when we coaxed out the right Breathe. Focus. All that Double talk's dually noted

Don't fight Just lay still Pick up your phone Read you a message Peace to your happiness At war with your gratitude Serpents of circuits Circling servants Serving disservice Pushing a purchase Vultures of purpose Strong armed Leant on Squeeze palm Green torn Seek more Fees formed Small print under thumb Volunteers succumb Siphon all the crumbs Come and get you none Submissive subscription Predictive addiction Vicious cycle of In their web, caught up Blind by shiny stuff Bells and whistles rung Don't fight Just lay still

Sick Cash 03:44
Forced in line, you should of read the signs Stuck confined to a daily grind Ceiling so low nowhere to climb Work so late you can barely shine Paycheck time and the bills collide Debt paid off, never saw a dime No statement, didn't go online Made that dough but couldn't call it mine Move to the future they'll mute ya Keep it fresh, cutting the suture Shoot it up, in your medulla Bleeding lips, feeding the tumor Gas in the tank humans in rank flipping green blood in the bank Shun what you think pumping that crank Cha-ching when they come back Delighted to bore and carve in your sore A Pharmaceutical carnival tour That draws you in and charges you more For cotton balls and Caramel corn You don't have it they'll get it Perhaps you're forgetting Your rock is still wet Your life is the bet So they'll do it on credit Applying a ledger of whether you whither in weather forever to death or get better Supplying a letter for measures of chems giving growth to checks that they give to the teller Every day is a dose no delay on the kickback A profit on hosts Properly doped, posted on sick cash Forced in line, you should of read the signs Stuck confined to a daily grind Ceiling so low nowhere to climb Work so late you can barely shine Paycheck time and the bills collide Debt paid off, never saw a dime No statement, didn't go online Made that dough but couldn't call it mine

The patriot The nationalist The separatist The fascist The ignorant The passivist The apologist The ass kiss The symapathist The classist The delusionist The bastard The exclusionist The caste sys About crash and collapse because we ain't having it Slit your throat with that race card Slit your throat with that race card We'll slit your throats with that race card Slit your throat with that race card Info gathering But it ain't mattering Post a link up to explain But clicks ain't happening The traps we're falling in Throw head to wall with it Exhausted dizzy drawing wind From circles talking in Troll with a awful grin Turns to a balling fit Already gone when it begins So I ain't calling it Cold with appalling wit Comebacks repetitive Snakes in layered skin That's thin and never shedding it Slit your throat with that race card Slit your throat with that race card We'll slit your throats with that race card Slit your throat with that race card

Dipped from the toes to the nose So there is no hanging up Different growths difference shows And it's so angular Angular Angular Tell me which side do you pick? Tell me which side do you pick? Tell you confide in a prick, sick Smelling which hide you will lick Smelling which hide you will lick Smelling which hide you will lick Licking cowhide on a pig Licking cowhide on a pig Licking cowhide on a pig Licking cowhide on a pig

Cannibalistic Humanoid It all plays the same It all plays the same, it's true We don't all stand to gain We all stand in vain, confused Slick with all that talk When you fall up into that sauce Should a loss be part of that cost? Disrespecting cuts of that cloth Feign woke on cushiony soft But we know what's going on We give and they take and it's not enough They lie in our wake getting Spotted up Watching us mouth full of taste, stomach knotted up Instincts so strong it'll rot a gut Holding so long when they ride a nut, Squating tough, clotting blood, Engrained in the brain, keep it simple and plain Erasing our name is what their fodder does Greedy's the beast, freaks Bubbling beneath Gritting their teeth, weak, ready to swallow the street Hollowing leech, reach, fleece, and squander the peace Follow receipts, creep Shallow with grief Knees deep, grease wallowing peeps Dollops of meat, treated as feasts They all lie in wait They all lie in wait, in view Revolt on the creators To control what's created, a coup Mutiny on the ship Knowledge engrained is stripped As Soon As Possible forget Origins start to shift Contaminate the gift Then eradicate the stiffed Cannibalistic Humanoid

about

Kavorkian plays around with electronic landscapes, distorted beats and saturated screaming.
While the first side of the tape is a critique of our modern capitalist world where corporations
corner the customers and try to squeeze every cent they can get out of them (the eponymous
Copper Fields); the second one is a situational analysis of the protest movements that have been
going on over the past years. The fact that they've been growing in intensity is seen as a
paradox, since a lot of people seem oblivious to the problem, turning technologies into some
disposable and superficial sources of entertainment while they could be communicating tools
and ways to share actual knowledge in a 2020's crumbling world.
On Copper Fields, Carl Kavorkian pushes new boundaries within the industrial / noise rap
scene that exploded during the last few years. Keeping a characteristic raw style, driving at the
listener a noise landscape steamroller crushing him during the whole album, Kavorkian screams
to the face of an ignorant and stubborn world, for it is time to wake up.
