Ignis Fatuus 01:22
lyrics
hallelujah look what man has done god bless them and their shining guns standard issue with a shining chrome finish defending to death their sacred parish may their aim be true and their judgement swift as the right hand of god gets cut off at the wrist for there must be room for the battalions to stand soldiers of god fighting for the fall of man a spiritual war but more literal and a bigger death toll the divine the unknown things humans can't control disregard your diluted tastes of faith and put your faith in a fucking grave

Human Resources 02:14
lyrics
following the rules disregarding the canard he ignores his dreams feeling dashed feeling marred no thoughts given to the colors caged inside of his head he's just the man inside the machine a fuel source burning out left to decay falling apart with his dreams bloodshot eyes with a blink of disbelief this feels too real something changing underneath and now he cant breathe a smile cemented on his face a life spent dying now lined up to be replaced lungs full of dead skin and this is what they take severance pay and a sloppy handshake glazed over eyes seeing drops of red the man in the machine is dead screaming wide awake and covered in blood drowning in feelings that come like a flood and strangling every bit of life that he can with his hands and he's squeezing hard because the dead can wake up.

I Select Cases 3:1-8 02:03
lyrics
we are the victims of our own device so claustrophobic such worthless life we tread on soil with twisted heels we rot and wait as time reveals for i've seen the sun and the gifts it leaves and i've seen death and the air it breathes time's beating the life out of me because time's a beast and it wont wait for anyone so we wait until its done till then i wait for my descent till then i don't dear consequence

Costumes 02:39
lyrics
i've seen bodies burning from an epidemic in people's heads i want them dead cut the masks from their petty heads i've got my own fire i need to feed i've got my fire burning masks and the flames are getting high and i can't stop this i'll never stop make the flames reach into the sky make the flames reach up and burn your deities eyes i'm burning masks but getting fucked from the fumes there's too much to clean up but i can't move too many choices so i wont chose too many choices so we wont choose i put on a new face and line up right behind you carefully watching everything you do cause i taught myself suspicion with everything accrued i taught myself to learn it before i burn it

Roads Over Graves 02:33
lyrics
who let you behind my eyes? control of fingers, actions mind? who let me lay down and die? who stole my rotting mask of flies? who whispered to me a story thats been told a million times? staring blank in deep reflection my face decays to lines these lines decay to bone these bones decay to black grounded in a wasteland as broken thoughts come rushing back black eye strain survive the night red eyes in light grey morning decay deathbed years with rusted gears breathing deep exhaling cobweb fumes bathed in white and covered in thread dead sleep, believer, rest heavy head no more pain no more guilt tear down the house that sad hands build constantly picking, scratching the wound healing in time but not anytime soon a gift from a ghost unholy host every thought you live then die through haunted days we watch as we grow we watch as we shed breathe deep new breath for the long road ahead

Fight Or Flight 04:41
lyrics
their cursed imagination conjures thoughts too grim to bear lusus naturae in the shadows ten thousand eyes stare instinct teaches to fear the things the mind cannot see so they fear invisible beasts they fear unreachable dreams choking on past regrets getting wasted by time losing self respect the chest feels confined the breath becomes short the breath becomes baited a grim atmosphere leading to instant death is awaited but ghosts cover their fear as denial provides courage from the things they fear most inside how long till they wake up how long must they hide? will their fears disappear if they open their eyes? fear just wants you to open your eyes fear just wants you to open your mind.

Dead Body 02:38
lyrics
lost in population breathless you scratched the inside raw something wrong with mom and dad no healthy pink bourgeois alpha male your broken mind's too sick for my attention your every word and action my reaction : detestation white sky in one eye and death in the other pitting hunter against mother against souther catching a scent for the keeping trying to control the bleeding exhausted already cut, crippled and weak biting through the tongue so it never reaches the cheek disgusted with everything just about to divide cutting yourself open just to see what's inside a lack of self respect and afraid to break his own trust breathing in deep tasting dried blood and dust because this is how the machine runs. and it runs: spending too much time measuring obsessed self defeat is pleasuring so you don't get depressed colors bend and change before they leak through broken skin handled rough with careless hands not knowing where they've been nature killing nature machines vs. machines people killing people killing everything in between totally obsessed with the miserable sick with dead minds and the pitiful but i couldn't ask for more
