Carcinogens 02:10
lyrics
download
Our heavy hands have ambitious plans They brake everything they touch The pretty face, the jock the brain Deep inside they're all the same Blackened and carcinogenic. We;re charred We're frail. Atrophied we're slowly dying. Inevitably we will fail. Innoperable, corrupt. We're damned if we do, if not we're just fucked. A short story summarized: Everything you love will die. So why not give up? Why give a fuck? When there is nothing for us in this life but accepting your death. When the sun explodes this will all be meaningless. Blackened and carcinogenic. We;re charred We're frail. Atrophied we're slowly dying. Inevitably we will fail. We work, manipulated, we're shrink wrapped and packed in a box. Our glory days spent up Look for direction in a pile of maps, torn, nervously rolled. The cartographies show where we've been, but nowhere that we want to go. The moment you accept you're a walking corpse is the moment you can start to live.

Constant Defeat 02:01
lyrics
download
Life is long. I can't take much more. Days feel like I'm stuck in traffic. Always waiting, doing nothing, I just need to get my ass kicked. What's wrong with me? Constant defeat. The days feel like weeks. Lifelong disease. Why even bother? I don't know. I'm at the bottom with nowhere to go. Do you ever feel tired from the constant defeat? Can you remember something other than this misery? Will there not come a day when the pain will dull?

Spoils of War 01:15
lyrics
download
Stubborn and brooding The sands of time slip away A calendar measured by rage catatonic for days fixated on hate can't help think that this war is mine. Im fighting Don't know what I'm fighting for I'm dying The mind is the first casualty of war The hope for the future is gone Been living in past tense A war that can never be won The spoils of war are regrets Manic and obsessed Or focused and can't look away Been staring at the ceiling for days cracks dont have much say to I follow them to a violent place. Im fighting Don't know what I'm fighting for I'm dying The mind is the first casualty of war

Lucid Dreams 01:34
lyrics
download
Awake with claw marks through my flesh. I'm panicked out of breath. The actions, innocent abominations. Conscious but not in control destructive actions take their toll Awake but not alive I'm Always sleep deprived. Unlimited terror The victims innocent, but it doesn't matter. Nails infused with blood and skin I try to retrace. The complications fade, the vision escapes. Conscious but not in control destructive actions take their toll Awake but not alive I'm Always sleep deprived. Unlimited terror Everything is haze is this not a dream? My mind's eye is open, my eyes are shut. Yet another life I struggle to control.

Friction 01:09
lyrics
download
I wake up at last in a rush to unpack when reality fades I never felt friction until my mind starting slipping away the physics I lived for complicit in my cognitive decay Time travel exists and the glitch in my mind is the catalyst When is now? who is this? Anchored to the present by wrinkled skin. I never felt friction until my mind starting slipping away the physics I lived for complicit in my cognitive decay I refuse to accept that whats left of my life is my mind's content
