1.
All your precious moments are fleeting The feeling of contempt for life is bleeding out They look into your body with black doll eyes Until they bite into your skin and roll over white Why make your progress in a backwards system? The human foresight is cataract New population = new traditions They fill the bibles with what they lack. I stand by And watch the fabric tear What good is an opened mind? If I don’t let the old ways die? I spend nights built up with spite From the people forgetting what it meant to be right and the tracks leading nowhere bring me furthest down From the fear of committing to this fucking sound.
2.
Breathing 01:50
The masses backed into a corner Forcing themselves out of the ground I’ve paid my dues for this moment Witness several hundred people become one And all the faces melt together The energy syncs to the sound We no longer name each other We are the building, itself And the world can hear it screaming This entity now has a pulse some scream for anger, others for change our independence is our curse
3.
Upended 00:48
I have no sympathy For your decline your actions turn around on me the mirror's getting hard to see fighting to take back and break what is mine its easy for you in the dark to close your eyes and hit the mark Run your mouth when your words diverge from truth And there’s something against you Grab the neck and wring it until it breaks and there's nothing to save me It’s not a time to be poetic It’s about gaining control And assess the fucking mess that you’re in
4.
No Ghosts 02:26
Voices circling round my head They’re always screaming In the past they used to whisper “will you always be there for me?” “No.” Dives into its end I’ve got this feeling wrapped around my neck Like something in me is about to snap I’m always lucid, always numb Like nothing’s firing in my head There are not ghosts, only cameras and wires I’m scared to take off all my clothes I’m scared to eat a piece of meat My webcam watches when I fuck Rotting from the inside This downward spiral, facing out It’s a necessary evil Consequences all the same Ideological in theory But non sequitur in nature Over-stipulated and stepped way out of bounds With the illusion of the right to choose And your teeth are always grinding Against the foil and the slate Bleeding fingers out to dry Writing letters to our congressman This situation has been overthrown before But someone’s pissing in our beers again
5.
Five Shapes 01:58
What does it take to get away? My mind is always on the edge Are these a remnant of the past Still clinging onto what was lost? It’s embracing the end And not escaping the nightmare I’ve got a right mind to remain myself The figures are shifting cells I taste the sickness on my tongue i feel the smoke climb down my lungs I hear thee cancer breach the skin and my teeth are wearing thin I hear the five shapes scream and shout Grab a scalpel and cut them out
6.
Why do I obey the rules? Why conform to status quo? All it breeds is more unrest The problems of no consequence As I acquire more distress The ashes swallow up the rest. Take. A. Match. Burn.
7.
I try to break this cycle and free from this routine I want to pull the nails out of the wheels treading me The cities must fill with smoke I'll tear down walls before My feet step on that road. Take them all down so that they know I was here.
