Bruise 01:40
Carelessness won't get to me Words barely even reach Won't get too far Rubber knife could never shell Or slice, maim, bleed My flesh, mind, self Suit yourself Abandon help This blood won't show no more Civility's rotten core Don't let struggle in Only count on ourselves The only ones we get for help Not putting up a defense Just walking away Whatever it is that you want I'm sure you already have it I won't stand in your way anymore If this motherfucker is resting You bet it's in fucking peace.

No Belief 01:24
Yes I am a stranger to God But he is no stranger to me Why must "his words" govern my life? I've got no belief I've got no control We're strange to you But you're no stranger to us No belief is worth more than our lives I've got no belief I've got no control Jesus died for somebody's sins, not mine.

Give me all that you know I want to rip it apart Take all the pieces And make a new start Mark this down Predict, paralyze Mark this down Your caustic conversation... You think you've got it all figured out That you're in on the ground Observer error overlooked Mistaking stasis for a sound But there's no headline This is not a spectacle Mark this down Predict, paralyze Mark this down Your caustic conversation It don't mean much to me Because I've fallen for a sound I don't want to know what comes next Want it to hit me like a spark A flicker from a failure A brief shining shimmer Feel it growing, form unknown Your caustic conversation It don't mean much to me There's no line You're not a spectator Is this what you want, To know what comes next? Is this what you really want, To dictate experience But not feel it?

Louder 01:49
Create a disease and spread it to me Can't you see the look on my face? No...or yes...but it's not my opinion you're after Spit the answer right in my face I didn't ask you a fucking question Question Questions asked of me: "Don't you want to be happy? Ever care to be free? We've got everything you need" I have all i need "What about what you want?" What I want is nothing "Come find a home in the screen" You can't make me happy "Come be part of the machine" I can already see, nothing you got can set me free And I won't be your disease There's something breathing down my neck, it's getting louder than the other voices in my head.

Screenhead 01:41
Sit in your room with the lights turned off Nowhere to look or seek and find Death creeping out from what you hung up Now I don't think i see right Square lights blinding my mind From the window all the way to the door I gotta find my way to fill this world Hider, seeker, find your way just for a moment I'm looking out, I'm peeking up Clear my tired eyes, go look outside See the sky for the first time Now go, try to find it I know it's hard to find another way to try When it's so easy to hide it all behind From the ceiling all the way to the boards Gotta find my way to fill this world all the way I'll flick the spark I'll set the flame I'll be the explosion

Cast out in a sea of outcasts I was stuck standing there on the outskirts Looking in Real-life echoes, drowned in potential I was caught dreaming, I caught myself dreaming But I woke up when I lost it all I lost touch I'm sinking down, I've got a problem The rising sun never looked so good As through broken waves Distorted dawn drains amber daybreak The brightest light, won't look away I can't look back again

Bliss 01:57
I fooled myself into thinking That what I said Could mean something to someone But I realized that We're trying hard not to rely on ourselves to have an idea We're trying hard not to rely on ourselves We're falling backwards Can't catch ourselves We're falling backwards Can't catch up Keep dancing around Ignore the sound Keep dancing around Keep marching to the beat I keep finding that we're in some sort of rut But no one wants to hear it, better left unsaid But silence is ignorance And ignorance is...

81 01:56
The wild grows and the children know With words "chin up, chin up" they say For the clouds offer an apology Threw my eyes to the sky and it read bright blue: "Time is truth when it comforts you" A kiss from the fall above Speaks to blood that's had enough Shining light of your memory Still showing faces through Illuminates footsteps behind me Learning to close the eyes in the back of my head They only show an ancient truth Kisses left from yesterday's sun Runaway Run away

Collision 01:32
I'm so refined All straight lines I'm so refined No corners cut I'm so refined No soul in sight No lookin up You go lookin back You're not lookin Sit in the front Eyes straight ahead Blank-facin Blood turnin black Eyes full of glass Robotic Device, no life And now he says it's cold Longing for the warmth Of the flesh traded in for steel I'm so sick of standing still to the sound of smoke I want to be forced by fire to feel something

Second Voice 04:15
I could tell you how to feel a thousand times You wouldn't listen once For all the ways that I've tried I've found myself running to false comfort that lies behind Every day for the past ten years I've been asking you where to go But your bleeding lips are sealed, no help at all But I can do this on my own, new ground with the growth cut down Second voice in a different language My ears are ringing from the silent sound Hold it like a child Singing sweet into mother's arms Hold it like a child Mama bird don't chirp no more There's always someone screaming Killing their dreaming Begging warmth from mercy's arms The signs don't say stop at all With the scream's work increasing Howl's voice forever screeching Take a look at this monster's bed Lying in vain for a silent head And here lies a dream A fantasy that some call life Walking forward, a new night dawns Monster's voice soon to fall silent There's a man going around taking names It's getting easier to see his face He lives next door He lives next door He lives in your own fucking bedroom Train your eyes to close Train your eyes to close Train your eyes...

Time-Lapse 03:18
This day will not pass If you let it consume you it will destroy your life Let go Pray for night The onset of darkness As backdrop for Crooked thoughts And coward's comforts Let it all go We've all grown tired of This day to night These months to years Where movements took minutes Now seconds suffice It's all too fast now It's all a blur Let's slow it down Everything's a blur Let's slow it down It's coming down now Blurred existence Time-lapse life
