We've been crazy I want to disconnect somehow Need to think before I swallow You're still lonely (You're so lonely now) Isolated in a crowd A sea of faces that we follow Severed Prosthetic brains Dopamine Intravenously consumed Like crazy (You're so crazy now) I want to disconnect somehow Need to think before I swallow The pendulum Swings round again It never ends Tell me why we're fighting Not too late but the change is now No time to lose composure So fucking hostile Why can't we not be sober I think there's nothing new You're shrieking mediocre Destined to see things through Designed to bring us closer Strangers in a crowded room Like blood cells we move as one So connected, I've lost myself Too addicted, I don't recognise myself It's so ingenious how It keeps me so distracted Feeding my brain cells Preach to stay connected I want to ride it out Reality I can't let go Until I kill myself Disconnected vertigo Vertigo I'm so alone Vertigo I can't let go Vertigo We're so alone Vertigo Its on Remember that we're real Remember to feel An eye for an eye Leaves the whole world blind Take a breath Take a moment to think What do we really need Time to reconnect

Parallelysis 03:36
This war, we wage Was it worth the peace Of me you took And then you point the blame Communication omens Sharp words and half-way truths A past of fleeting moments Double talk and déjà vu We're waking from a dream And I can't feel me in there now Well excuse me for wanting something We stumble through the haze And I can see so clearly now Your excuse is you don't want the same Just because we can't decide we carry on It's ironic when we fight, we get along So scream, and numb yourself There's feeling in that pain Bound because were comfortable Complacent in our chains We're waking from a dream And I can't feel me in there now Well excuse me for wanting something We stumble through the haze And I can see so clearly now Your excuse is you don't want the same We're waking from a dream And I can't feel me in there now Well excuse me for wanting something We stumble through the haze And I can see so clearly now Your excuse is you don't want the same We've woken from the dream So excuse me We stumble through the haze And I can see so clearly now Your excuse is you don't want the same

Fear Itself 03:27
Here we go again Buried in my mind It's cold dark useless The only place to hide The walls are closing in I feel so far away from home I can not do this on my own It scares me to sleep Just close the door and turn the light out The walls are closing in it's mine now I need to Push Me out Such a savage introspective Reap my whole world It's gunna to go there anyway I feel so far away from home I can not do this on my own It scares me to sleep Just close the door and turn the light out The walls are closing it's mine now I need to sleep Push me out Push me out I feel so far away from home I can not do this on my own It scares me to sleep Just close the door and turn the light out The walls are closing it's mine now I need to sleep

Deletist 04:16
Crying online is not real life Changes nothing, won't change my mind Talking sideways to the sound of a fact Distort the context support your shit Head in the sand over lies from a villain so Who needs truth when you're touch with your feelings Search for a safe space A nurse and a back brace Earth is a cold place Controlled by the old ways Stir up the violence Mess up the state (True lies) Open your eyelids Or swallow the bait Into Annihilation I don't know how we got this far Maybe a change here will Save us from ourselves Cardinal sins and they got his back Feeding the pigs where's the justice at Politricks with a shift of position, On a sinking ship see the rats of tradition Fact or fiction, click bait religion Fake description or mass subscription Hate the fascists Racist ashes Broken backs feed the Faceless masses A symbol for knowledge A sign of a slave (Too late) Pray to our screens As we open the gates Into Annihilation I don't know how we got this far Maybe a change here will Save us from Annihilation I don't know how we got this far But maybe a change here will Save us from ourselves Ourselves Ourselves Over and over and over and over Again and again This is the end It's what they wanted all along Divided we're broken Together we're strong We're at war More than pins and needles close your eyes and break the skin (On all fours and let 'em in) Blaming the power and those with wealth You wanna change the world I'll change myself Annihilate (We're at war) We're building this for you Until your dreams come true Annihilate (We're at war) Soon we'll see the truth Your screams come true

Husk 08:52
I am stuck inside my head Trying to find a different way Can't take all our love and use it as a weapon Reflecting on our circumstance Pretend In the end Darkening thoughts and They're dancing around me Descend At the end I sing to myself and I hope that I'll see you It's outta your hands I believe this is the test It's true I've seen the lightning And the devil at his best Focus on the shame Try to focus on inside I'll embrace the change But I have to open wide I keep expecting to see you That's why, Determined to reach for your light I'll keep singing my last goodbye (Forgive myself, I'll never forget) I kept expecting to see you But I'm So scared I've been wasting my time I'll follow the footprints you left behind It's been so dark for so long I'm shedding my skin to move on A beautiful dream Is the one where you tell me This isn't what it seems A husk of what I was There nothing on my chest A fear of what comes after We wait with baited breath A traveller of time So temporarily Everything is meant to be We've barely scratched the surface wanting more The past is over Each memory forces a desperate shame To slowly heal me I keep expecting to see you That's why Determined to reach for your light I'll keep singing my last goodbye (Forgive myself, I'll never forget) I kept expecting to see you But I'm So scared I've been wasting my time I'll follow the footprints you left behind Metamorphosis of myself To the place beyond and learn to sing Peel it back to expose Ourselves and leave the skin Behind emerge like new Searching for the Determination to reach For the lights I can't see It means everything to me I hope you can forgive Nothing left to show And nothing left to give I've nothing left to give It's been so dark for so long I'm shedding my skin to move on A beautiful dream Is the one where you tell me This isn't what it seems It's been so dark for so long (It's been so dark for so long) A beautiful dream Is the one where you tell me This isn't what it seems

The Lost 07:01
I condemn you the lost Don't pretend to be humble I'll be watching you from the darkness Whatever the cost That illusion will crumble You don't want to hold me hostage I think I figured you out Already singled you out Already stepped aside, telling lies, I'll decide Its time Taste the bile Break the cycle I always hoped I was wrong I'm so disappointed I guess I knew all along I should have known it was pointless And now you're lost to me You're still letting me down I keep giving you chances Somehow I'm blind to the truth (The truth) Don't try to pretend this Isn't who you are Now that I'm gone You pushed me too far But you keep letting me down I'm still paying the price Attach yourself like a virus I'm still watching you, from the darkness You still think it's alright Bare your teeth in a crisis Then smile as you take advantage Was I Your beacon I need a reason I think I'm Wasting my breath (My breath) There's nothing left (Nothing left) No regrets (No regrets) I always hoped I was wrong I'm so disappointed I guess I knew all along I should have known it was pointless And now you're lost to me You're still letting me down I keep giving you chances Somehow I'm blind to the truth (The truth) Don't try to pretend this Isn't who you are Now that I'm gone You pushed me too far But you keep letting me down You're so lost You're letting me down You're still letting me down I keep giving you chances Somehow I'm blind to the truth (The truth) Don't try to pretend this Isn't who you are Now that I'm gone You pushed me too far You keep letting me down

I can't stop A promise I just don't have a meaning Lust She whispers But her lips are deceiving No I'm not just a number (No) Not like the others our love keeps me this way Whatever it takes The bed of mistakes Forever, drives me insane I'll wait here Till you wake up And you notice me It's all an illusion Right now It's all in your head I sense your confusion Right now I'm so in your head Again Oh god I want more than a taste I want to see the look on your face Say the words bring me back Vacant lies on your return I don't need Your sympathy I just need you to learn I'll wait here Till you wake up And you witness me It's all an illusion Right now It's all in your head I sense your confusion Right now I'm so in your head Again Go Go Jump to conclusions now Stay outta my life You don't know, you dont even know me Go Go Jump to conclusions now Stay outta my life You don't know me Go Go Jump to conclusions now Stay outta my life You don't know, you dont even know me Go Go Jump to conclusions now Stay outta my life You don't know me

Synthetic 06:46
Approaching the singularity Transition into the next life Under the influence Transcend the system It's checkpoints and boundaries Balance and infinity Deeper than we'll ever know But close enough to blink from existence Trust and hope Hope that this world Is more than a lie (A lie) It's falling to pieces in front of your eyes How many of us can say we're really alive Expansion As we extend our reach Driven by human desire Master our consciousness Building the only way Won't stop till we're complete Synthetically move forward aspire to be inspired to see That the path we are taking Is constantly breaking Moving toward our own extinction Hope that this world Is more than a lie (A lie) It's falling to pieces in front of your eyes How many of us can say we're really alive Programmed to create life that's why we all die Fix the mistake One at a time Endlessly changing our world to see what we find Synthetically moving beyond hopeless and blind Fix the mistake One at a time Hope that this world Is more than a lie (A lie) It's falling to pieces in front of your eyes How many of us can say we're really alive Programmed to create life that's why we all die Fix the mistake One at a time

Don't talk to us you're skin and bones We're scared to speak, or stand with clones Intelligence is just a memory of things that you've been told Use common sense don't break the mold You're on the fence Do as you're told It is only a matter of time, before they lose control. You try to take our choice (Our choice) Identify through violence While we destroy our voice (It's our voice) They rule us all in silence now Shot framed and hung And you believe Headline, description is all we see Flame wars, defenders, cogs in machines Defined by this moment And hung on the screen Tell the truth No slight of hand or tongue in cheek Clicks in demand creating sheep We're on our knees at night Praying to our screens before we sleep You try to take our choice (Our choice) Identify through violence While we destroy our voice (It's our voice) They rule us all in silence now Shot framed and hung And you believe Headline, description is all we see Flame wars, defenders, cogs in machines Defined by this moment And hung on the screen And you believe Headline, description is all we see Flame wars, defenders, cogs in machines Defined by this moment And hung on the screen Pushing through Shutting us down Until we find a way To open our eyes I Will find My voice My time is now This might mean war Fight for what's mine Now This might mean war Fight for what's mine My time is now Break the (Taking our choice) Walls down (Answer with violence) Take back (Destroying our voice) Our crown (Rule us in silence) Tear the (Rule us in silence) Walls down (Rule us in silence) My time (Rule us in silence) Is now (Rule us in silence)

Be The Fire 04:21
Don't turn back Travelled too far To know what you come from I who you are I saw the flames dividing halfway heart at the tip of a knife I saw the beast of burden shadow from the light, the beginning of life Beware and embrace illusions We're based in fear, we were never alive Invoke the demons, face the feeling Through the ceiling, take control So overwhelmed and insecure Something inside of me sees through the wall A leap of faith I can't ignore Somehow I'm stronger since learning to fall Afraid The breath of desire Snuff out a candle Fuel for my fire Doubt is so contagious Faith in outcome will make or break this Fate and test your patients Wait in line and forever be nameless Devil in details The curse of protection Safety in numbers The fear of rejection So overwhelmed and insecure Something inside of me sees through the wall A leap of faith I can't ignore Somehow I'm stronger since learning to fall And now I know amongst elite and the powerful Belief not to cower at all This isn't something to defeat But empower, as deep as the hour is old This life is only hard while learning The fires are burning, there's no easy road Depending on your goal distractions Our brief interaction, this world is to fragile too hold Too fragile to hold Fragile Be the fire Be the fire Be the fire Be the fire and wish for the wind

You came to me Just like tumbleweeds I left a life to go Wherever the wind blows Secretly Just like tumbleweeds Died before I go Where ever the wind blows We're out of time, you're outta your mind (the wind blows) Watching life passing me by (the wind blows) We're out of time as we're eaten alive (the wind blows) I feel like I could fall apart A slave to circumstance Right before the start Swept aside Aching for the past Every day is the same I'm so sick Of hiding in the dark Every whisper Cross my heart Just like I always do Break me down Come on and take me over Cause no one knows me like you do It's not the same if I'm forced to choose So break me down Come in and take me over Turn away Ripped in two Make a promise in that moment Like it might come true I can't decide No one left to cry All I need is a reason So tied of screaming with all of my might Every whisper Cross my heart Just like I always do Break me down Come on and take me over Cause no one knows me like you do It's not the same if I'm forced to choose So break me down Come in and take me over Come on Take Me away You came to me Just like tumbleweeds So secretly You make me scream I need to know I want to go I want to go Where ever the wind blows Break me down Break me down Break me down Just don't lead me on Break me down Come on and take me over Cause no one knows me like you do It's not the same if I'm forced to choose So break me down Come on and break me Come in and Take Me Over
