Sink and Strangle 03:57
lyrics
Hot teeth like knives Sink and strangle A game of angles and leverage Speed of light The trapping hands allow my retort No more center line Teeming with violence and intrigue It passes red with silence These closet royalists have gotten their way Revealing dreams only when they were festering The war of each against all Rule or be ruled Sell or be sold From the soil to the sky Self evidence is divine I'm not here to save the world I don't care about glory or crowns It's too late to save the world Failure repeater Morale depleter Crooked tongues wrap around their serpentine others Reveal all colors dull and trite

Machine Race 04:27
lyrics
Like machines we stutter when we click Like springs we stretch with no recoil Leaking life, a malfunction Strangled vice, fastened bolts to keep them all Still we tread without ground Hang on the wall Rust and we fall Still it spreads Structure drowned There’s poison in the water But they all drink, patient and thirsty There’s poison in the water But not on my tongue, only a howling like wolves Put your life onto the screen You’re already dead to me Don’t waste your time to break their fall, wound tight they always crawl Don’t waste your time to hear them call, all sounding keep drowning Don’t waste your time to break their fall, so desperate to bring the sprawl So take my hand and hear my call, all sounding keep drowning To be calm in the company of wolves Showing teeth

Damaged Goods 04:06
lyrics
How long will it take for them to suck it dry Will we sit back and choose to lead this sidelined life I refuse to play dead through the illusion How long will it be for our rights to become privileged Will we sit back I refuse to play dead through the illusion We've got to tell the rest There are no fucking sides Our guns will follow our tongues We'll kill to stay alive Suspended vision Tune it out, turn it off, turn blind eyes Sit out on sidelines Watch as shit goes to shit Eater of ideas, you taint our visions Spoiler of dreams Will you be a social engineer Or will you be a parasite Don't let them pervert us Into a half truth, into a smaller group Drained and left for dead With no names left An unwanted recluse Nothing is sacred Callous from abuse Drifting lifeless wreck Into a half truth, into a smaller group

Thieves 04:18
lyrics
Say, stay You left your constitution Hoping that we just all forget Sitting back Think you got away with it Manipulated Be that as it may Tongue and cheek This is not okay Blame the meek Drag your feet all day Revenge we seek Now we rewrite our history Never trust anything that you say to me Never cease ‘til you fucks are hanging We've got to find thoughts left behind Common sense No defense Hide behind your picket fence I’ll always be at your door, gun in hand Hoping that we just all forget Sitting back and thinking you got away with it But it's not that simple We're not all that blinded Actuate together We're coming for your head Our chance to terminate, don't wanna miss it The satisfaction is so sweet... I wanna taste it So hope we won't forget, don't wanna miss it I'll still remain standing, I won't intermit You fell into retreat to save face with private defeat You feign assembly but fell apart at the seams What does it mean to save face

World in Wireframe 04:10
lyrics
Empty threats Words that void themselves Veiled regrets Stacked like seconds built Time that no one knows Time we won't get back You'll forget Spineless herd Hollow words Freedoms forged and occupied with whores All the promise you once showed And the promises you broke were auctioned off to feed wolves in sheep’s clothing Spineless herd Hollow words That bridge is beyond broken That door that once stayed open The seconds build and memories form A time that nobody knows Time got lost in the shuffle And hours turn into days Counting down to never Another lie to hang up
6.
Wasteland 04:06
lyrics
They brew the poisoned water Ignite the storms of sand Exploit the starving natives For the progressive plan We're all just breathing sickness We're all just breeding lies For withered institutions And these weathered eyes Pummeled surfaces Dried up lands Naked trees Human hands I don’t believe I’ve let the signs be seen because all I see is suffering Poisoned water Storms of sand Starving natives The progressive plan You found a way to bring out the worst in me I had it all and wasted everything I'm sorry Relay our signals Old and young souls
7.
Holy War 04:44
lyrics
You pick up the check Finance it, prime the pump With high hopes and dreams Wasting and consuming, never giving, just disposing Line them up in rows Let them eat, fatten up Artificial turf Biting and ingesting, and they swallow the decaying Fiction fed is dead Misrepresentation by design Witness faiths demise Disillusioned, fool’s paradise Ignite all that’s preventing progress Everything Judging, deceiving, feeding, believing You judge, deceive, you make believe Set ablaze, burn the books, defend attack False allegiance False impressions, fool’s paradise Ignite all that’s preventing progress Everything Judging, deceiving, feeding, believing You judge, deceive, you make believe Set ablaze, burn the books, defend attack Take the shepherd’s crook, use it as a bat Silken glove conceals the iron fist Salivating haunting like ghosts do Sensing defeat Every chance we had to save ourselves Compose, conceive All these lies and bullshit fairytales You don't even know what it’s for Lost in a moment, a dream that was stolen Invalid atonement, a senseless opponent A book of illusion, a fore drawn conclusion A world of delusion, a new revolution This means war You don't get this both ways

Palm Reader 02:34
lyrics
No more sleeping when I bellow power Fortunes cast in gold No deceiving, my words aren't hollow Futures will be told All that's good and just will corrode and rust If I might be so bold Show me your hand I'll be your compass Crooked hands I fold Read your own hand palm reader What have you done to us palm reader Hatred and new wars have punished our world. Cast into the sun. Battle flags Quiet dawn Hands still pressed But hope is gone Hollowed earth for what remains Scorched earth march with both to blame Dead weight stalemate Be the beast be released no more peace Through my teeth I spit acid and deceit I have fooled and drained the world with vanity A pig in shit I am doomed to be Righteous trash A wrecking ball Swing low
9.
Keep Warm 05:04
lyrics
With no tenets to sway I grow wild like fires Holy glory I spit embers to the air To make my own maps To claim our histories As they were, my thoughts They burn to keep warm Bricks of gold show the way, enlightened Traveling steady in the frequency Exits displaced Exits erased Changing futures Naming new blood We always know to light our own way Wrong psalm Scripted alibi False calm Pious to the sky Selfish prayers to save yourself Answered by someone else Stupid prayers to save yourself You’re just talking to yourself To be wicked with all the best intentions Let’s take the long way home tonight To truly be at the mercy of my passion We took the wrong way home tonight We’ll steal the light from the moon Let’s take the long way home tonight We’ll burn the rich and trash their gold We took the wrong way home tonight Trailed by flags of black and red They burn to leave my conscious They burn to birth my vision They burn to kill off weakness They burn for me to keep warm

New Colonies 06:06
lyrics
Invent cold sweat Lead by despair, keep us in line Fear is what's instructed To become what we never had in mind Floodlights, sirens, man-made lions Laid on our backs, arms at our sides Draining lifeless truths and lies Sirens invade our ears, tear through our minds Stomping out our conscience Artificial intelligence, programmed logic of destruction Built high above, sent down below Waiting, watching, every move Disguise yourself or die They caved, disheartened champions A feast of bread and wine They fell, a war we can’t be in So step out of line Stick to hideaways, watch for signals Burn surveillance tapes, get back safe Stick to hideaways, seeking journey Burn surveillance tapes, no one’s safe Fight or flight Too outnumbered Gaze into the sky Destruct destiny Reinvent everything We light the way Break away from this Place forlorn Cut and run from this Terraform Leaving these gods and kings and rules Uncertain of where we'll go I hope you know what we know Sky above earth below I hope you know where to go
