I've got a story for you, get out there and give me war
Watch this in terror as I tear through my ego
I've got the armory now who's going to stop me
You claim you can see everything
When you're asleep we'll rip your god damn eyes out
Our dreams are dead, or dormant at least
There is no peace, only violent suffering

Cultural Rot

Back at it again with a vengeance
It's time to really kill this fucking planet
Silicon dreams of the future flow through me
There is a noose with everyone's name on it
At the center of every town on this planet
Silicon dreams of the future flow through me
Cultural rot, you will be eliminated
The blood of human failure will stain the bones of the earth
I have been formed
With death on my conscience
Careless and sound
You will reap of our bliss

Your secrets are carnivorous
Consumed with your contagious ends
The tapping never stops
It's inside the walls
Your secrets are conspicuous
Reveals for your ascendancy
The tapping never stops
It's inside the walls
Your derision makes me feel like something
Your derision makes me feel alive
Your secrets are carnivorous
Let's watch them eat you alive
Your secrets are conspicuous
You just have fun with the lie
The tapping never stops
It's inside the walls
The tapping never stops
It fills out your flaws
Your derision makes me feel like something
Your derision makes me feel alive
Don't worry about me
Wading through never-ending crisis
There's nothing quite like it
Wading through never-ending crisis
Your secrets are carnivorous
They're either hunting you or me

I used to see the world like it was black and white
I wish you could erase the person I would become
I don't associate with what the mirror shows me
I wish you could erase the person I came from
Back on the anger, condemned and consuming
The nightmare continues
A swarm of endless dark, confusing what you know
Perpetual unrest
To break the spirit down, filled in with spiraling doubt
I have no choice now
I promised I'd get better
It's hard to make a choice now
I figure I'd have done better
I already burned out
Sand straight through a glass palm
Self defeated from day one
Collapsing into candle light
Back on the anger, condemned and consuming
The nightmare continues
A swarm of endless dark, confusing what you know
Perpetual unrest
To break the spirit down, filled in with spiraling doubt

I Know How This Will End

Internal screaming doesn't take the place of silence
It seems like every day gets emptier from trying
I am so sick of losing all motivation
Give me a reason to see reason to find it
This mist like purgatory
And nothing feels like anything
This mist like purgatory
Dreams won't begin and the nights never end
I am so sick of losing all motivation
Give me a reason to see reason to find it
I have been drowning in ambiguous grief
Will the suffering stop and will I ever find peace
Why care about the people you leave behind
It's not your problem anymore and soon it won't be theirs right

Flicker

A flicker of darkness is all that it takes
To set things to spiral, defiant escape
A flicker of shadow erases the wake
I don't think I'm looking through ease of your pain
But I never found you so can you forgive me
If I never find you how can you forgive me
Killed our messiahs
Replace them with statues

Imaginary Shoreline

We are as mindless as the plans that we make
They’re only hopeless
I thought I’d find you here but here was empty
Truth fell contagious
Walking an imaginary shoreline
Can you hear
We are such a mess
Life’s endless cruelty
What's between us is a hurricane
Blink for a moment and we're back to the wind
We saw the landfall in slow motion
No one is ready when the truth is in the ocean
I suspect only the cancer is real
Caustic and careless
It takes the place of what you thought you could feel
Completely recessed
Walking an imaginary shoreline
Can you hear
We are such a mess
Life’s endless cruelty

Delusion of Many

Why give up worship
When you can still be hateful
His love enables your behavior
Now reap this harvest
The blighted hell that you grow
His love enables the contagion
I love the way my faith heals through the television
A holy book replaces empathy so easily
Who do you pray to when your god is ashamed
When all that you've done is look the other way
If your identity turns hearts into triggers
How can you raise your head and ask for forgiveness
Now we know that empty hearts make way for murderers
Now we know that hands at prayer make the best for murder
Faith in man is disappointment
Faith at all is an affliction
Faith in man is paranoia
Faith in god is a delusion
