The garden of despair Lined in memories Lay your loved ones there Away from enemies Watched you burrow in I couldn't break again Waters meant to cleanse Only mean to scald Because of all my sins My blood is running cold Crazy people learn That souls do more than burn As they say... Somethings warm the heart I wish they could be you Liberty is found By being underground While I lie awake My soul they cannot take...

There's a chance everyone's insane, it seems Ironically this world may be a crazy house That we are in 'til the end Until the day it's all rescinded But your eyes glow in the fires of apocalypse As debris imitates the falling snow And you hold your arms out as you spin As you whirl, I grab onto your hand again So we can dance 'til the end So we can watch it all descend It gives me hope, cuz you exist And in the end it all begins The sky is grey and smells like snow In the air blows styrofoam Safe to say it feels like home It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Beacon 04:58
In the wake of the blistering machine In the shadow of hypocrisy I'm holding on Every eye that pierces passes me I feel their attempts at surgery Am I alone? But you make the monsters go away And you are a glistening refrain There are beacons shining all around Hard to see from my spot on this ground Yet I try Outnumbered by the ones asleep Better off trying not to think, Or lose your mind But you are teaching me restraint You are my serenity

Earth Warden 03:56
They have us serving our time Up for charges we can never own They keep wiping our slate Start us over every time we're born Open your third eye! Indoctrinating our souls Inoculating us right to the bone Is the soul at risk This close to the sun? Open your third eye! So many here are lost So many cannot see So, what is it all for, This prison we can't perceive?

Turn about face before I do it again. I said About Face before I put my mind at ease. They're calling on your mobile phone, promising to Take you home this time. Gonna take you to the promised land. I hope you have a backup plan today? Will we ever know who we are at all? Will we be the ones to take the fall each time? Tensions mounting Anticipating the end. Might as well have put the nails into the savior's hands yourself. Will we ever know who we are at all? Will we be the ones to take the fall each time? Will we ever know who we are at all? Will we be the ones to take the fall each time?

Driving in my car Thinking about you You'll be asleep for another hour or two. I tell myself to chill as I turn my wheel again. Don't know what I would do without you. It was only an hour It was only an hour It was only an hour Do you think that we could dance on the csky of glass? Finally we're alone together The moon's candle in our sky The lake is low, but it's all right You look beautiful as ever. You look beautiful as ever. Can we dance for an hour? It's only an hour. It's only an hour.

Snowblind 03:58
I'm freezing all alone Broke down in the cold All alone far from home All alone far from home Barren. Nothing around. Miles away from the sun. Lost in ice. Frost bites. Lost in ice. Frost bites. Blood brittle as ice Fingers numb. Lost my sight. Try as I might Tonight I die Goodbye my wife. Goodbye.

The rotors turn, the turbines twist, But these motions I resist. The action stops, the motors halt. Those grinding noises aren't my fault. I'm coming for the shut down. Production is a let down. Interference as the friction heats. What can I do to save my seat? Those haunting thoughts, those searing eyes. All I can do is improvise. I'm coming for the shut down. Production is a let down. Oil me down and grease my parts. Without you I cannot start. I'm wires and tubes that require fuel. I'm a pumping unit seeking you. I have reached the shut down. My energy is cut down. I am the lonely machine...(repeated)

Karmic Law 05:22
You destroy those in your path If they run by you. You inflict the mortal wounds For the things you do. If you bathe in a disguise, You are never clean. So you run, but you can’t hide From everything...Everything. If you’re leaking from the eyes, Are they really tears? Just like telling all your lies Makes me disappear. You tear me apart, cuz I can see. You rip me to shreds, cuz you deceive. You enjoy the suffering That you inflict. You love it when they crawl, Begging you to quit. You’re a sadist in your quest To stay on top. You tear me apart, cuz I can see. You rip me to shreds, cuz you deceive. You tear me apart, cuz I can see. You rip me to shreds, cuz you deceive.

Victims of despair Lives beyond repair Diseases of the mind Feeling left behind Hearts are in distress Knowing emptiness The bitter taste of tears Falling through the years Broken spirits cry Wishing they could die Prayers in the rain Giving in to pain Murder in the street Conquered by defeat Living in a sin Death occurs within Open your eyes You’ll realise Your heart and soul Is all you know When you pass You’re free at last All those tears Your wasted years. Shattered dreams of love Acid rain above Loneliness in life Trampled by the strife Those who lose their way Torment every day Struggles with the night Falling from the light Visions of the dead Dance within your head In a shallow grave Refusing to be saved Seeing your evil ways That haunt you all your days Men who know no shame Their empty souls are claimed Open your eyes You’ll realise Your heart and soul Is all you know When you pass You’re free at last All those tears Your wasted years. Open your eyes You’ll realise Your heart and soul Is all you know When you pass You’re free at last All those tears Your wasted years. Drank until I crawled Climbed until I got up Fell into the night Substance used me up Floundered on the floor Discovered what I was Refused to let it hurt Just want to look you in the eyes.

Twitchy 03:02
She’s the twitchiest of all And she waltzes through my head My heart it beats off time And I think it’s gonna stop. Hear eyes speak more than lips. What is she trying to say? Is she down with all of this? Microgestures are at play. Twitchy thing come and play Twitchy thing come and play Kiss her forehead and her face. It’s the place I like to go. Her head is on my chest And I want it more and more. Twitchy thing come and play Twitchy thing come and play

I TOLD YOU THAT I DID NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT YOU DO. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TRIED TO ERASE THAT IMAGE FROM MY MIND? WHY DO YOU HATE THAT MAN? i FELL TO MY KNEES GASPING FOR BREATH. I FELL TO MY KNEES, BUT GOT KICKED INSTEAD. THE SYSTEM WILL NEVER CHANGE. I NEVER NOTICED THE COLOR OF A MAN'S SKIN. NEVER TOLD HIM WHICH GOD TO BELIEVE IN. SO MUCH TIME WASTED ON THIS. SO MUCH TIME WASTED...WASTED. I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU. COULDN'T EVEN DO THE THINGS YOU DO EVEN IF I TRIED...IF I TRIED. YOUR HATEFUL POLICIES ARE BUILDING UP A WALL. THE MORE WE TEAR THEM DOWN, THE SOONER YOU WILL FALL UPON APOLOGIES AND WE'LL BE RIGHT. WHAT CAN YOU DO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA SAY? WHAT WILL IT BE? WHO'S GONNA PAY? WHO'LL TAKE THE BLAME? WHO'LL DO THE DEED? WHO'LL SET THE FLAME TO IGNITE YOUR GREED? WHAT CANE YOU DO? I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU. COULDN'T EVEN DO THE THINGS YOU DO EVEN IF I TRIED...IF I TRIED. YOUR HATEFUL POLICIES ARE BUILDING UP A WALL. THE MORE WE TEAR THEM DOWN, THE SOONER YOU WILL FALL UPON APOLOGIES AND WE'LL BE RIGHT.

Pandemica 05:27
WALK AWAY WALK AWAY FROM THE INIQUITY WALK AWAY FROM HIS HERESY, I SAY YOU STAND IN THE ROAD LOOKING AT ONCOMING CARS YET TO BE HIT SO FAR BUT YOU WILL LIE DEAD IN THE ROAD PSVED WITH LIES AND BIGOTRY AND LINED WITH YOUR HIPOCRISY, YOU FOOL WHEN WE GO, WILL BE A MEMORY FLOATING IN ETERNITY? WHERE WILL YOU GO WHEN THEY CIRCLE WHO YOU LOVE? WILL IT FIT YOU LIKE A GLOVE? THERE COMING FOR YOU GONNA LOAD YOU ONTO A TRAIN AND FILL YOUR LIVES WITH PAIN AS YOU GO WHEN WE GO, WILL WE BE A MEMORY FLOATING IN ETERNITY? WHEN WE GO, WILL WE EVEN LEAVE A SIGN, LIKE THE ANCIENTS LEFT BEHIND? RUN AWAY IF YOU CAN! MAYBE YOU'LL FIGHT IF YOU CAN STAND WHEN WE GO, WILL WE BE A MEMORY FLOATING IN ETERNITY? WHEN WE GO, WILL WE EVEN LEAVE A SIGN, LIKE THE ANCIENTS LEFT BEHIND? WHERE DO CHILDREN GO IN A WORLD TOO SAD TO PLAY? WHERE CAN CHILDREN GO IN A WORLD TOO SAD TO PLAY?
15.
YOU MADE YOUR LAST FUTILE STAND TO TAKE THE SHEEP YOU COULD NOT HAVE AS YOU TELL IT TO THE WORLD, YOU ARE THE SAVIOR TO US ALL I WANT YOU, I NEED YOU TO OPEN YOUR BLIND EYES AFTER TIME YOU WILL SEE THE TRUTH BEHIND MY LIES. YOUR THRONE WAS FOUNDED ON A FRAUD YOU FALSLY RUN THE WORLD FOR GOD WILL ICE EVER COME AND WASH AWAY THE FOOLS AND THE SCUM? YOUR BROKEN LIVES HAVE BEEN DICTATED AND YOUR SOULS INCARCERATED. YOUR SOULS ARE ALL ASLEEP. (yOU DECIDE FOR US ALL. YOU'RE DIVIDING US ALL.) UNDER THE GROUND BENEATH OUR HOUSES LIES THE TRUTH FROM THE DECEPTION JUST AN ANCIENT RECOLLECTION AND A GOD IN THE REFLECTION YOU CONQUER THE WORLD WITH AN ERACTION WE DROP TO OUR KNEES TO LEARN THE FILTHY LESSON
16.
SOMETIMES MY HEAD JUST DON'T WORK RIGHT THAT'S HOW IT SEEMS THAT'S WHEN MY GLITCHES COME TO LIGHT. BUT YOU TEACH ME HOW TO FLY FROM TIME TO TIME. YOU ARE THE STARS THAT GUIDE BY NIGHT. SO HARD TO FIND AN ELEMENT OF YOUR DESIGN INTO THE NIGHT WE FLUTTER ON OUR WINGS AND ON THE WAVES OF GRAVITY. GLAD THAT I DISCOVERED YOU. SO MANY THINGS WE MUST DO. YOU WOULD BE THE ONE TO WAKE ME UP. THE WONDER LIFTING UP MY EYES. SO HARD TO FIND AN ELEMENT OF YOUR DESIGN. IN SPACE AND TIME WE TEND TO SEEK WHAT WE CAN'T FIND. BUT ON MY SIDE, OFF OF MY OWN PERIPHERY, WAS YOUR OUTLINE THAT TURNED INTO THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL.
