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

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

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

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

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

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

Fear of a Dank Planet

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

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

Shot, Framed & Hung
05:25

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

Wish For The Wind
06:34

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
