Bloodless veins of mine Carry only scorn and sorrow Heart of gold which once encumbered me I carry no more Dim light I had inside has faded away And it's gone Like a moth into the flame I'll burn and fall as one for all Enemies, nemeses, archvillains of the story We tell ourselves everyday To justify our parasitic state Consume, convert, conform, convey Delay this escape just to die another day See our sons, forsaken and undone Stand alone in line to follow blind Mask worn for so long Becomes the face of a self erased Self-absorbed angels of disgrace Emerge as wraiths Take me someplace else, away from it all Away from prosperity, away from the fall Freedom to sing to the malady of war Reveals us to be the parasites we are See our sons, forsaken and undone Stand alone in line to follow blind Disconnected discomfort Pushes us parasites towards Desperation thus defeat Let the agony of a new day begin See our sons, forsaken and undone Stand alone in line to follow blind

Discordant thoughts, as I pour them out In-sight, they're words on a page Words on a page Take a stand and rearrange the words on the page Through the fires of hell I fall Admire cold destiny (breathe in) The flames burn my skin Expose the effigy within (unforeseen) The king and the clown Incinerate just the same here (cremated) From ashes to coal Becoming fuel for this cycle of suffering Discordant thoughts, as I pour them out Of mind, they're words on a page Words on a page Take a stand and rearrange the words on the page The pain will subside After the flesh melts away (breathe out) With bones petrified Infused into the ground (no doubt) And from rotten remains Grows out new roots (new life) In body, in soul Becoming bound to this circle of solitude Discordant thoughts, as I pour them out In-sight, they're words on a page Words on a page Take a stand and rearrange the words on the page Disturbing thoughts, as I purge them out Of mind, they're words on a page Words on a page Take a stand and rearrange the herd on the stage Breathing the fumes of a barn Doused with gasoline In here, my tiny flame She'll pray for me

Mourning each morning, the sunrise, it suffices to burn Burn it all away, a new start, all but a remedy for the heart The heart that's grown cold, cold like a stone Stones, broken bones, and the words that kill Deconstruct the core of sanity, why? By decree, this mandate to self-destruct The urge to obstruct and disrupt and corrupt Remember to forget it all Remember to throw away All you've ever learned Chastise and demonize all those who oppose this Being docile and in control Surrender to the machine, he who knows it all Remember to throw away All you've ever earned No more reflections off the portrait of me When the voice that echoes in the streets forgets my name Spread my ashes far and wide as I return to the Earth Mother, mother, mother Earth! Carry me back to you My every tomorrow's yesterday 2.0 Truth of perception comes from blood spilled Or is it somewhere in between? For man is but a vessel for the machine Such a hopeless cause, it's all the same All we'll ever be With a bit of final breath take in the scenery Harmonious solidarity encapsulated, frozen in Timeless incongruity A snowglobe shattered and drained All we could foresee Father forgive me for the shadows I've casted unto thee Father forgive me, all I've done was for I had thought I was free Faith in the defeat of all that's good This phantom in pursuit Maybe we're meant to be the enemy An adversary misunderstood Such a hopeless cause, it's all in vain Yet let there be light

Mediator 03:59
Buried alive in this nine-to-five And I've survived, sleep deprived Next week if I refuse to pay They'll take the house away (Deep inside we're the same) There go the children who Never knew we were this screwed So as you're cleaning up Please take my wife too Words! Speak! Louder, it rings You live like kings, under our wings Try to blend in and pretend you're one of us I promise you everything will be alright Off with his head Shut up, I'm fed up, so have it your way I'm quitting right today I do have every right to yell And you can just go to hell (Deep inside we're the same) Oh, there goes the chance I blew What have I got myself into? Wait, before you kick me out Here, take my bamboo too Words! Speak! Louder, it rings You live like kings, under our wings No severance package left me with a severed head With debt collectors on the way I'm better off dead Oh God! Please! No, don't take that! Give it back! It was my mother's! Give it back! Why is this happening to me? Is this how it ends? By God, I swear! I'll bury you with my own hands! Try to blend in and pretend you're one of us I promise you everything will be alright Try to blend in and pretend you're one of us I promise you everything will be alright

Nevermore will I be searching through the shadows Magnum opus, my great work Evermore will I seek immortality For I may die, but my work remains, my legacy Can you hear the sound of Sands of time flowing through the hourglass? Time is slipping away, chime rust flipping gray Can you see the flame? My candle burns at both ends To find at last death cure, immortal and pure Subject defies nature Design cells that divide perfectly No more infection, one simple injection The missing piece of the puzzle Why does it fail every single time? Maybe we're meant to be, riddled with misery Nevermore will I be searching through the shadows Magnum opus, my great work Evermore will I seek immortality For I may die, but my work remains, my legacy

Wish for escape, even though all is well Surrender, surrender, throw it all away This feeling strikes harder Stronger than the hammer falls Where's the final nail of the coffin? Find it, put it back in This razor's edge is a fine line To walk across Only takes one step to be lost And it spirals down entwined Confined in a prison of my own making Desperate I became an angel so I could fly away Ready or not here we take The final plunge into The heart of the other world Leave behind wings never ours Why never appreciate all the things we have? The heart always yearns for more Confined in a prison of my own making Desperate I became an angel

Abstract271 03:07
As mind believes the existence Of illusory persistence An instance of incoherence Appears in the distance The paradox grows and festers Rooted in our definitions Abstract overtakes cognition (Beware of beliefs, convictions deceive) Eliminating the improbable Emanates from fear of the unknown Truth is meant to be left alone Subvert the sublime redesigned This contamination has spread Corrupting vagrant intellect Yet they defend it and pretend To awaken is to introspect If you justify the extreme As faith meant to be Go on, dig yourself two graves One in reality, one for your dream Scenic substance reprograms The brain to perceive it as such A cunning ruse, the sages' muse Empires fall in a day Built in hundreds of years The old cliché, on replay (Beware of beliefs, convictions deceive) Assimilating the improbable Alleviates fear of the unknown Truth is meant to be left alone Subvert the sublime, redefine the divine This conflagration has spared None but the most insolent Yet they remain and so retain The audacity to claim innocence If you justify the extreme As faith meant to be Go on, dig yourself two graves One in reality, one for your dream
