Center Stage 02:14
INTRO 1 Hypnotized By the allure Blinded The marquee to assure VERSE 1 Seduced by a serpent Putrid behind the eyes Surrendered to an animal Its last breath leads to our demise A city burned by angels Misplaced hubris supreme Atop the titans ashes The birth now a lost dream CHORUS 1 The airwaves are being held Against their will The sunset hedge funds take the vapid scene downhill Homogenized into digestible pills Shoved down your throat, while diversity is killed INTRO 2 Every corner we turn They've followed Impulse of vision Mirrored and swallowed VERSE 2 A fixed race Has already conspired The winner crowned before the pistol fires A song already written Pluck the majors string Me and the outsiders kings down with one swing CHORUS 2 The airwaves are being held Against their will The sunset hedge funds take the vapid scene downhill Homogenized into digestible pills Shoved down your throat, while diversity is killed BRIDGE If rather be forgotten I'd rather be a failure I'd rarer fall short Than be anything but true

VERSE 1 Betrayal a symptom of weakness Your reality hidden from the truth inability to accept What you didn't know in youth PRECHORUS 1 You lie to run from the dead Nails scratched across the floor hiding instead CHORUS 1 Lying to yourself To justify your cancer A rust incubated While you hide from the answer I want to kill everything Leave it lost behind Leave it burning in my wake Nothing left to remind VERSE 2 Infidelity learned Justification taught The war is lost When your lies are bought PRECHORUS 2 Don't come looking for me When the world begins to fall into the sea CHORUS 2 Nailed to a fucking cross My desire bleeding out with each loss Lost faith a martyr underneath Pooling on the ground beneath I want to kill everything Leave it lost behind Everything burns in my wake There's nothing left to remind END Ive nailed myself to a cross A growth formed in another loss Sodom and Gamorrah burns before me The symptoms die as we fall into the sea

Fast Lies 04:12
VERSE 1 In the twilight of my adolescence What a coward I've become Lost deep inside of my will Pushing while I become numb I don't want to see a light My hunger comes from inside I am darkness I continue to feed Pinned down by by another's pride PRE CHORUS A hatred for the world around me A cage holding me to the ground On a wheel in a maze before me And the post I am bound CHORUS I am the fucking wolf Hiding quietly in the dark I will burn down this world And bury it in my wake VERSE 2 I am of this time I continue to climb I swim against this tide Taking everything denied I am the now generation Fuck the wannabe famous spawn Everything at my disposal No lack of comprehension BRIDGE REFRAIN In the shadows I carved my fucking life Carry my torch I found my lost insight The same fast lies Bullshit I have explored A new way through To find the same reward Slowly being suffocated Underneath there is no escape The world keeps burning around me While I sleep off another denial No signs just your own demise In darkness I am baptized The steps to dethrone I devise Impulse that continues to feed BRIDGE REFRAIN In the shadows I carved my fucking life Carry my torch I found my lost insight The same fast lies Bullshit I have explored A new way through To find the same reward

Nightmare 6 02:41
VERSE 1 And so it begins Another means to an end The wolves of the earth Take everything you're worth Coalesce in repression Blood stained walls confine Step out of reason As sanity unwinds Rotating above the fire Hypnotized into submission Medicated to obey Ignore all intuition Cast out what you envy On the Forcers of Conscience My absolute intention Is the people's intervention CHORUS I had a dream last night, As the moon stood watch. The skyline set ablaze The sun lost and misplaced POST CHORUS I'll come back one day Back into what I used to be If I ever was, but for now Plan my killing spree BRIDGE Carry on for the carrion of our sins Deceiving ourself makes us complete within Left to the will of an unseen force A desolate empire with no remorse Watch me burn Feel the crash The pain is real Hold up your flag VERSE 2 And so it began A hiding place when we ran These repressive walls confine They crumble as I unwind The fucking wolves Have taken everything from me My absolute intention Is the people's intervention CHORUS 2 I had a dream last night As the moon stood watch The skyline set ablaze The sun lost in a rage

Release 02:47
VERSE My own desecration Gravity ripping at me Tries to change what I am Tears the fabric of my reality This modern modest proposal The famine claims control My flesh picks up the slack Torn from my fucking back CHORUS A land of opportunity For those born with opportunities We are of the free A predesigned template told to call it unity Cultivated for someone else's plan bred by the invisible hand This race that can not be undone The biggest lie that someone else has won VERSE 2 A disparity plagues my view A separation of church and my wake Bi lateral country dividers Either choice is a fucking mistake Shaped to fit a mechanism The illusion of choice For the 99 out if a hundred You die without a voice BRIDGE A secret I must not know Esoteric words hidden below why the fuck do I work And live this life of hell Fuck this world of lies Until success is decriminalized This life rips every piece Death the only release

Eclipse 02:11
INTRO Bring back the revolution A desire burning in the streets A ghost constructed in your head Flags to ashes in the name of belief A lynch mob marching united Under the guise of freedom Idealism blinded Lets hang the non believers VERSE A short fix to a long problem To deplete not to sustain Exploit the finite commodity Open up the arteries and dry out the veins Convere on divergent cultures Pulling in opposite directions Pillage and deprive in the name of nationality PRECHORUS Close your eyes and fall asleep A chance to finally see Float further into the deep This time we will never wake up CHORUS Black cross eclipses Invert to mirror your soul Increase your dosage As hunger takes control INTRO 2 Misguided attempts to climb Shake the world until you drop Change right in front of my eyes In your destruction I stop Obliterate to see what's left An end to see creation Lost in chaotic relapse Cyclical starvation VERSE 2 A short fix to a long problem To deplete not to sustain Exploit the finite commodity Open up the arteries and dry out the veins Converge on divergent cultures Pulling in opposite directions Pillage and deprive in the name of nationality PRECHORUS 2 Close your eyes and fall asleep A chance to finally see Float further into the deep This time we will never wake up CHORUS 2 A black cross eclipses Invert to mirror your soul Increase your dosage As hunger takes control END A new frame, built atop the previous Atrocities, compacted for obedience Half the country remains voiceless A tomb built to encase progress

VERSE A Fabrication of genetic fear A character flaw that we built upon An attempt at balancing The inequalities that spawn You create your personal demise On who you think you should be An entanglement you design Inclination burns in the debris PRE-CHORUS If everything just falls Who notices when I bring down the walls There's nothing left to confess The cycle separates nothing from the rest CHORUS amalgamation of archaic beliefs Stitched and altered by thieves The inception birthed from the streets Taken flipped and used to deplete Across existence we all share hell We've burned in the fire from the first cell The first breath sealed our damnation global progressive suffocation VERSE 2 The entity that feeds on our demise An apple given to uncloak the disguise There is a hell Ive been to its shores To its depths I have explored Discussed religion with Milton Lost Piers at my immortality Drinks with Heironymous and Dante Lost in a tragic comedy BRIDGE There is a hell for everyone Carved from your own fucking shame fear brings life to the flames Live your pinned down by chains LEAD TO SOLO human nature to look for balance In a world destroyed by malice END Is it evil to enable or deprive Better to teach or deny Should we enlighten or enslave Allow a future not engraved

Occupy 02:27
Occupy With MC Gusto VERSE Unity in outrage A single cause for a million voices 99 out of a hundred Will never share one choice PRECHORUS Common ground in the point of collapse A boiling point found in the collective Not a generation but a rate of motion The will of the majority infected CHORUS A Promise of Potential Never means anything to me Falling short the eventual reality VERSE 2 Trapped in perpetual Struggle to be the empowered Atomic desires Devour the will of a coward PRECHORUS 2 A shared will in the moment of destruction The limits exposed on dissection Be the catalyst for insurrection The top prevails while the rest die of infection CHORUS A Promise of Potential Never means anything to me Falling short the eventual reality BRIDGE The rotting flesh of a million Left to spoil in the stagnant air To the streets in masks Molotovs carried by the welfare VERSE Unity in outrage A single cause for a million voices 99 out of a hundred Will never share one choice PRECHORUS Common ground in the point of collapse A boiling point found in the collective Not a generation but a rate of motion The will of the majority infected CHORUS A Promise of Potential Never means anything to me Falling short the eventual reality BRIDGE Bought and sold like livestock Disreguard the world beyond your desk Wealth doesn't make you safe To the backlash of the grotesque END Deafening silence slowly grows Solace outside of the comforts they know No more lies, used to subdue and bound A torch to burn this, whole world to the ground

INTRO 1 Gas wafting between buildings As poison fills your lungs The darkness overtakes Hidden thoughts you become Hide my grave within the woods In a place you’ll never find Redemption my last breath The betrayal left behind VERSE 1 Crouched among giants Sky scrape to reincarnate Frames built upon graves Destined crimes to recommit CHORUS 1 Below the surface your cult Subterranean your only consult The nameless science of success Hollow eyes lost consciousness INTRO 2 Education’s not to ambission The defiles of tradition Unable to stray from greed Corruption will always lead faceless remain among us Silent as you bleed out demand without interference Corruptions throughout VERSE 2 Wither into society fall further from yourself Abandon what you want to be Engulfed in desire for wealth We are slaves to greed CHORUS 1 Below the surface your cult Subterranean your only consult The secrets of success Robots without consciousness END Inversion of direction For perversion of desire Identity lost for the whole So burn your dreams in the fire END CHORUS You’re never getting out of this place There is no where to go No one listens to you plea Fuck you and your decree With Blood stained hands Next of kin dig your grave There's no use fighting Live your life as a slave VERY END Stand among the redwoods The moon no longer shines Systematic evacuation Defined by adverse design

VERSE 1 Yesterday I erupted from the fray Broke the chain Malignant tone feels more humane PRE-CHORUS Don't you see that We are only fates disguise Suffering Paint the future with our demise CHORUS Waking up, taking shape Sacrifice, my escape POST-CHORUS Building dreams, hollow goals Lessons learned, lost control VERSE 2 Look at me I have never been the same\ Isolated Wrap myself in familiar shame PRE-CHORUS 2 Animals Fight among ourselves agin\ Jealous world Crave the status of mannequins CHORUS 2 Falling back, never win Judgment day, closing in POST CHORUS 2 Clip my wings, take this life Breath of fury, thread the knife BRIDGE From these cold dead hands\ There is no end as the world expands\ Rip my mortality from my hands\ Sacrifice to your demands VERSE 3 Guaranteed To break you down further than before\ Grind the bone Assimilate yourself in this war PRE-CHORUS 3\ Take my lead Close your eyes as you burn alive\ Resurrection Begin the life that you were deprived CHORUS 3 Load your gun, shoot your blanks Falling short, within the ranks POST CHORUS 3 Almost nowhere, we walk away Cycled failure, another day
