Lyrics:
Now it is time to disconnect
And lay your fears to rest
Now we won't abide
We'll readdress
The current rise of the tide
All the while
All the vile
All go wild
Now you know it's time
To reconnect
With your fellow humans
Now we won't subscribe
To your vid
Fuck your bullshit content
All the while
All the vile
All go wild
All the while
All the vile
Crowd goes wild
The crowd goes vile
All the future
All at once
I can see it
In your past
In a flash
All of the future
And all it at once
All that i see
And all that i want from you

You were drunk on my promises
I thought that
I’d be something else
You were so concerned
about your former self
We had to bail us out
I’ll be the one to call you out
You’ll be the one to say
that i was wrong
You were right
at the time
All along
I was drunk on your promises
My Whiskey lips
Your jaded kisses waned
A night out
fell Into frustration again
A major minor point erupted
All for what
All for us
All for what
All for us
And I’ll be the first to say
My self left me to the wind
All for what
All for none
And I’ll watch you sail away
I thought I’d be more
I’ll be the one to call you out
You’ll be the one to say
that i was wrong
You were right
Well, at the time
All along
All for what
All for us

Anechoic
03:41
|

|
In this room
You are the sound
It’s anechoic
Never ringing out
You can hear your disposition loud
The mechanics of your body
The releasing of the hounds
There’s no echo
In your chamber
You sit in the nothingness
But to exist
You must sit in
Real silence
You realize you can not stand your ground
In this empty room you are the crowd
Never underestimate
the power of the sound
of nothing trying to spiral
Til you’re down and just need out
There’s no echo
In your chamber
You sit in the nothingness
Reflecting on (all)
But to exist
You must sit In real silence
If real silence exists
You must commit to your reluctance
To not submit
To the emptiness
You must sit in real silence

Die Twice
03:04
|
|||
|
Never will it be this way again
No it won’t
Never will you waste your breath again
Make what you can
Of this life instead
Before you die
You will have learned to survive
It’s alright
Perception is your key to be free
We have all the means
To starve on all of this gluttony
Before you die
You will have learned to survive
Before you go
You will have just learned to cope
Oh no
The rest of your night
Could be the rest of your life
And if the stars should all align
Then the rest could work out fine
It’s so-so so beautifully bleak
It incinerates
It’s so-so so treacherously sweet
A bit bitter taste
Lemon but no lemonade
To stand on your own
Accept all the things
You must change
Never will it be this way again
No it can’t
Never will you waste your breath again
Before you die
You will have learned to survive
Before you go
You will have sown all your oats
Almost
The rest of your night
Could be the rest of your life
And if the stars should all align
Then the rest could work out fine

Amplified

So you beat it down
Beat that feeling underground
Til it won’t come out
So you Beat it down
Beat that feeling underground
Like it’s all going to end somehow
Do you know what it means to be alive
The high the low
The joy of being deprived
It’s all amplified when you’re alone
The smallest things they grow
So you beat it down
Til it turns into a shout
Explode til you’re all burnt out
Then you’re pitching a fit
Just like a little kid
That didn’t get their wish
Do you know what it means to be alive
The high the low
The joy of being deprived
The feelings amplified when you’re alone
The smallest things they grow
Beat it
Beat that feeling down
Beat it
Beat it down
Beat that fucking feeling down
Did you know what it meant to be alive
The high the low
The joy of being deprived
It’s all amplified when your alone
The smallest things they grow
So you beat it down
Til it all comes spilling out

Aural Fixation
03:10

Aural fixation
Obsession with violence
Such a peaceful person
Addicted to twisted
Substance is sorted
the categories you chose
I can hear the options
And so on and it goes
On and on
On a vacation
An instant retreat of noisy calm
the palm of your cranium
Your hand picks the content
The most horrific moment
The most obscene thing
a person could do
Well, I can hear it all
And so on and it goes
On and on
it goes on and off
And it goes
An aural fixation
Can you hear it
They stumbled onto something
A scene that they simply can't unsee
Played out aurally
In mangled brush there’s a body
Clear signs of struggle
The culprit was brutal and then gone
How will we find them
How will we know what happened
And so it goes
It goes on and off
And it goes
An aural fixation
Can you hear it
Can you feel it
Can you picture it well

Downtown & Out
03:33
|
|||
|
You’ll always be frustrated by something
No matter money
No matter your station
You can find the faults in the fault line
Down and out or dividing riches
No matter what your current position
Sleeping sidewalk or strolling in best digs
Downtown & out to drink and forget it
You’ll always be one way or another
Nearly broken
Or cracked in the concrete
A stiff upper lip
A stiff frozen plea
Down and out
Out on the street yeah
No matter what your daily position
Strolling sidewalk or getting arrested
Downtown & out to drink and forget it
I see your downtown eyes
Red as fire
They just seem to look blind
Just walk on by
They’re just as wide as mine
Just stroll on by
People laughing
and people aren’t thinking
To forget their current condition
Sleeping sidewalk or bougie feasting
dividing lines
won’t conquer the in between
Never mind the system has failed
Never mind all that have succeeded
All within all that’s superseded
the most jaded
I see your downtown eyes
Red as fire
You just seem to look blind
just walk on by
they’re just as wide as mine
just stroll on by
Downtown & out

Here We Are
03:36

Here we are
There u am
Are you the post or are you the fence
It depends
Here we are
There you stay
Slowly you’re tipping the scale one way
Every day
You won’t bring us down
To your level of woe
It’s your subjective truth
Here we are
There u am
We feel so insignificant
So dismissed
One thing we’ve learned
The heat it will always be
bringing the burn
In turn
You won’t bring us down
To your level of woe
It’s your subjective truth
Subjective truth
Objective spoof
You won’t bring me down
Framed up
Mounted up
To speculate
Frosty stares
From all sides
Framed up in alibis
Painted white Lies

Leaving the Now
03:52
|

|
Always going to be leaving the now
We’re here
Always going to be a moment gone
We’re left out
Your memory will keep your mind at bay
I’m here
Now you will begin to be the same
I’m left out
We’re leaving the now
Always knew that you could make it past
Stuck here
A life that held you frozen in a cast
No way out
We were made to just move on and fast
Leave this
Now we can adapt to what we have
Become sound
I'm amazed
By the way
You’re leaving the now
Constantly onto the next
The now is but moments
We’re leaving the now
Even though you’re still still you move
We’re here
Around the roller rink you always flew
We’re left out
The carousel around you always puked
I’m here
Round and up and down you are renewed
I’m left out
I'm amazed
By the way
You’re leaving the now
Constantly onto the next
The present is but moments
Always going to be leaving the now
Stuck here
Always going to be a moment gone
No way out
Your memory will keep your mind at bay
Now you will forever be the same

Can't Even
04:09

If you were literally dying
I’d warn the paramedics
To not prolong your life
How do you figure out the lie
If everything’s the opposite
of what you meant to try
You can speak it
No you can say it
figuratively or literally
Rise above rise above
The vice of expectation
Pass or fail tonight
Rise above rise above
The status quo
And all the clones
You can be your own
If you were literally dying
I’d rush to your side
and make sure we saved your life
Everybody thinks
You’re really something
Or something else
Not of yourself
Rise above rise above
The vice of expectation
Pass or fail or die
Rise above rise above
The status quo
And all the clones
You can be your own
I figuratively can’t even
