Insatiable weakness
That reaches forever
But forever is known
Not known for forgiveness
Forgiven for filth
Filth in injections
Injections of Wealth
From a world I can't see
Playing with liquid
Liquid corrodes
It's the scene of a lifetime
You'll be chained at the coming hour
You did what you wanted
At a pinnacle of power
It soothes your soul
When you cross that line
You chose your role
You crossed that line
The play of a lifetime
Alone in the looming tower
You wait for a life line
Foundations crushed
Opportunist fucks enslave you
Enslave and bind

Crisis of all things but mine is the only one
Crisis of love, I can't believe this sin
Face it alone, open the gates of the vestibule
Mining the soulless, wanting to dig my way out
Wages ahead to protest what they show you
Or you'll lose yourself
Or you'll lose yourself
I can't help you
Bracing for death won't protect
Or enthrone you
Abuse yourself
Use yourself
I can't help you
Canyons of Gods
Canyons of failing Gods
Statements of all
In the setting sun
Canyons of steel
Canyons of tethered steel
And I know there's sun
I know there's sun
But I can't feel it
Lead into sand where the dust
Will surround you
Better lose yourself
Abuse yourself
I can't help you
Curse of the land, where the truth
Will impound you
Better lose yourself
Abuse yourself
I can't help you
Planets will bloom
Planets will splinter and move out of line
And this day, you will be burned
You will be burned
This speaker is blown
This speaker's been systematically blown
Better tonight than tomorrow
Just a memory now
Fade into sand
Can't believe what they've shown you
Release yourself
Unleash yourself
I can't help you
Bracing for death
The release will dethrone you
Better sooth yourself
Better lose yourself
I can't help you

We have a list, it goes like this
We made a fist, it feels like this
We built a cross, all hope was lost
An albatross in semigloss
We have a list, it goes like this
We made a fist, it feels like this
We built a cross, all hope was lost
An albatross in semigloss
Fantasy Nazarene
Paint a line no one's seen
A recipe for atrophy
Misinform happily
Precipice sisophis
Paint a line with your fist
Out of phase, an empty gaze
An act of rage from happier days
When you have severed the only lines
It's a method that opens you up
When you have severed the only lines
It's a method that cuts you up

Ecstasy, plastiscene
Carving lines that no one's seen
See your face, it's wrapped in lace
It drifts away with lasting grace
Fantasy, misery
Treating wounds with wizardry
Out on your own, a jagged stone
Cuts to the bone, that's when you've know
When you have severed the only lines
It's a method that opens you up
When you have severed the only lines
It's a method that cuts you up
(It's a method that cuts you up)
(It's a method that cuts you up)
(It's a method that cuts you up)
(It's a method that cuts you up)

Apparition

The race for the backward
Power in the wrong few
The fumes from the world war
The clouds in the room
Systematic hunger
Emblem of a brighter youth
Overwhelming numbers
Killing without proof
They predicted a sensation
An Apparition of a predatory few
Voice of innovation
To halt unrelenting doom
Impossible situation
Impossible room
We fought off sedation
The lure of dystopian ruse
They pushed our imagination
There was nothing to lose
A planet with a blackened heart
A condition of a passive nature
Sedition only went so far
Patient with a falling root
System with a crooked start
A future lacking any patience
Afraid of what you really are
But does anybody choose
Can't ask us to settle now
Afraid of what we're made of
Afraid of what we are
Afraid of what we'll lose
Don't ask us to settle now
I'm afraid of where we're going
I'm afraid of what will be
Afraid of what we'll lose

Haunted visions coming back
A collision on the track
For days I've seen the sorrow
Bad decisions from the past
Incision in a crack
Many ways to reach the horror
Hidden secrets that I keep
A structure down on me
In a phase of my destruction
Rising waters weigh me down
I'm buried in the ground
Consumed by my affliction
And I'll learn how to play
And I'll learn how to play
And I'll say what I mean
And I'll learn not to say
And I'll learn through the pain
And I'll learn that I'm too slow
I've been saved but it's not fit
I fell through but it's poison
Shove my face but it's inside
In my ears but it's genius
Found the place but it's nowhere
I've been cross but I'm outside
I've been fit but I'm not in shape
I run around but it's wrong
On the day when I found you
I'm ok when I found you
I'm only sane when it's too slow
I'd turn around but it's too thick
I'll be saved but I'm not alright
I'll be hanged from the ceiling
No way out it's a full moon
Christmas day no companion
In the wall but it's inside
In my eyes but it won't fit
It's a shame is all
Wretched place with wretched view
Deathbed army is a part of you
Crooked face a crooked screw
Deathbed army is a part of you
Who wins in our eyes
Who wins and who dies
On the day when I found you
I'm ok when I found you
Many ways to learn
You'll learn the pain
Many ways to learn
You'll learn the pain
Many ways through pain
There are many ways to learn
There are many ways to learn through pain

Hard and beaten
This is my place

Nowhere is safe
All things aggressive
