Do we fear Do we fear this enough Do we fear Do we fear this enough Do we fear this enough To stop the cycle Heed the behemoth While it takes from us It’s all your fault You don’t do enough The monster lies to us While it spreads it’s rust And we let them Let them shovel their shit We are well conditioned To just take the hits Don’t waste, consume Don’t waste, consume Don’t waste, consume Don’t waste, consume Was there anyone on Venus? Do you think they could see us? And warn us not to follow their example? Follow their example Burn the things we love Follow their example Toxins out in droves Follow their example Pushed from our homes Follow their example Choke on this gas Follow their example Look behind the mask Follow their example In the fire we bask World ending dust storms Swallow cities whole Wildfires, rolling thunder This is not a home Self fulfilling prophecy Heed the piper’s call Rage against the dying light This was once our home I fear that it is too late Writing appears on the wall I know we’d ignore their outcome Our hubris is shameless Any warning is worthless Our hubris is shameless Choke the air we breathe Our hubris is shameless We’re not blind, we see Our hubris is shameless We gave up our home Our hubris is shameless Lifeless as a stone Our hubris is shameless Green no longer shows Our hubris is shameless We have burned our home Apocalyptic rising tides Kill the shores we know Desolation, lifeless forests We have killed our home Radiation, unprotected Melts the flesh from bone There’s no way back We killed the system Firestorms have taken our home I know that it is too late Writing is burned on the wall End the world End the world End the world Just know that this is all of our faults End the world End the world End the world Pretend that this isn’t our fault Here we stand In the dust of ruins Closed our eyes Look what we have to live in Took the ride Oh what could we have be doing Just know that this is all of our faults Botched the rescue While they made their billions Death on the scale Of at least a trillion Consequences Laid out for centuries Just know that this is all of our faults

Lost Places 05:23
Here you are Once again You find your head Above the clouds And you’re reminded That life doesn’t end It just slows down And it can be living hell To keep your feet firm on the ground From day to day to day It’s easy to give up and stay Rooted in your thoughts No chance of amnesty But then a second lingers on And on and on and on At peace within yourself As you dust off the shelf In the back of your mind In the place you couldn’t find Let warmth shine through Chorus: Oh turn your face to the sun And reminisce on battles won A survivor lost at sea But this is not what you were meant to be A war lingers on Whispers of a battle song A single note rings out Resonates beyond a doubt An echo in your mind Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find A place of sweet reprieve A place to just exist and be free Verse 2: Here you’re found By the light It shines and Brings you back to life Even for a moment it Makes colors seem brighter Sensations seem stronger It seems to lift a giant weight off of your shoulders An illusion manifests And rings and rings and rings No sense of permanence And yet there never is Enjoy it while it lasts And laugh and laugh and laugh A monster sleeps inside But it’s battered by the tides In the back of your mind In the place you’ll someday find Let light shine through Chorus: Oh turn your face to the sun And reminisce on battles won A survivor lost at sea But this is not what you were meant to be A war lingers on Whispers of a battle song A single note rings out Resonates beyond a doubt An echo in your mind Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find A place of sweet reprieve A place to just exist and be free Chorus: Oh turn your face to the sun And reminisce on battles won A survivor lost at sea But this is not what you were meant to be A war lingers on Whispers of a battle song A single note rings out Resonates beyond a doubt An echo in your mind Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find A place of sweet reprieve A place to just exist and be free Bridge: Here you are Hand upon the window pane You look to the sun Feel it’s warm touch on your face You look around you See the people surround you Your family and friends are all here to guide you Chorus: Oh turn your face to the sun And reminisce on battles won A survivor lost at sea But this is not what you were meant to be A war lingers on Whispers of a battle song A single note rings out Resonates beyond a doubt An echo in your mind Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find A place of sweet reprieve A place to just exist and be free

t comes creeping in with the smell of sugar Please little ones don’t let it get closer I will keep you safe as long as I am able Give you all my strength, leave it all on the table Time speeds up Don’t succumb Why so fast Please just last And I know that this isn’t forever The world creeps in and steals what I treasure Growing up Getting older I endeavor To keep that innocence alive forever Please Slow Down Time The world is a scary place to live I just want to keep you safe from it Keep you free from harm and injury Under my watchful eye, I wish you’d always be I know you’ll grow and I’m here for it And I don’t want to miss a single bit See you grow old and have your own lives It’s happening so fast I can’t believe my eyes If I could keep you little forever I would But I know that is not fair to you Trust your judgement with each passing day Independence is something that you have gained Life is beautiful and you’ll get to see it You’ll be my babies, even when your tall It’s the hardest pill I have to swallow I’ll be letting you go someday, I know Live your lives and make your own mistakes Life is just a game of give and take If I could keep you little I would But I know that is not fair to you Come with me my children You’ll always have a home in me

Headspace 02:49
I’m going out of my mind And I don’t know what is right They said that when I became a father I’d figure it out We’ll I haven’t Figured it out I’m still just confused All that I know is I’d do Anything for you Anything for you For you Anything for you Break Me In Two I’ll break me into pieces For the two of you

Angel 05:50
Here we stand On the edge of a precipice We’re about to fall And we think they’ll save us They don’t care We’re just a bottom line A number in the machine That only grinds Rising hatred Rising anger This failed system Cannot sustain us Rising(rep) Chorus: An angel won’t save us They exist to enslave us They outright fucking hate us A false messiah A social pariah One cannot exist Without the other Oh Verse 2: He takes the stand An old man at a liars pulpit Spin the yarn Pretending to be a fucking prophet Tongues of silver And we buy the masquerade They’re laughing on high As we slowly snuff and die Rising hatred Rising anger This failed system Cannot sustain us Rising(rep) Chorus: An angel won’t save us They exist to enslave us They outright fucking hate us A false messiah A social pariah One cannot exist Without the other Oh Bridge: The dream is a fucking lie You’ll never kiss the sky So flap your wings to fail And rain down hell like hail A system set to fail There is no holy grail This scraping for existence This is our scarce subsistence Offer little resistance Terrified of persistence Living dead one and all Conditioned to love the fall I’d choose violence I’d choose violence Maximum violence If we’d all choose violence Maybe things would change Chorus: An angel won’t save us They exist to enslave us They outright fucking hate us A false messiah A social pariah One cannot exist Without the other Oh

Possesion 04:22
Mouth of sin Pulled back in a toothless grin Stares on with jet black eyes It just wants you to die Built for war Have you been keeping score? Somebody make this right But no one wins tonight Fucking pray for Someone to save the day It says ‘just repent’ But its not heaven sent Gaze so cold Peels back your broken soul Give up the will to fight Please god end it tonight Run, run, run away But there’s no running from this fate You did it yourself, damn to hell Now there’s only consequences We regret to inform you He let the demon in There was no sign of struggle He let that monster win It clawed into his veins It tore into his mind There was no way to mistake The terror in his eyes What kind of god Makes such tortures for his creations Allows them to know such torment Prisons in their consciousness And an astounding lack of selflessness Little if any realized awareness And absolutely no free kindness Pray to a god to win this fight Please somebody make this right You did it to yourself, there’s no one else Is this an unseen side of hell? You invited it in, it played to win The things it told makes blood run cold You did it to yourself, there’s no one else Now there’s only consequences

Great unstable mass of flesh and foam Sent here to defile this throne You must try with all your might To make it through this blackest night Here me out We can’t win This is penance For our sins They are coming Slipped right in Fuck Hear me out We can’t win We just let them All right in They are coming Slipped right in Damn Hear me out We can’t win They are all Already in They are here Slipped right in Oh no Over Before it began We honestly never stood a chance See them How fast can you run? Cuz they run faster than your gun See them now They have won Nobody even pulled their gun We are theirs Bow to them Fuck Look up now Burning sun Seems this battle isn’t won We are theirs But not for long Yes See it now See them run It shines brighter than the sun We were theirs But not anymore Oh yeah Over Before it began They honestly never stood a chance See them How fast can they run? They can’t outrun a thousand Suns

Wake up Stand up Throw up Are you happy with yourself? New day Same shit Repeat Are you happy with yourself? Punch the mirror So I don’t have to see All these Fragments of myself Punch the mirror So I don’t have to See myself Cut my hand And just stare at the blood Because it Makes me feel alive Cut my hand Just stare at the blood Because it makes me feel something It’s 5pm and I’m feeling good Now it’s 9pm and the feeling fades Now it’s 12am and I’m just I’m just fucking sad Now it’s 3am and I’m walking home Now it’s 5am and I’m on my phone Now it’s 9am and I’m just I’m just fucking sad Buck up Look up Be tough Only you can break the cycle Good day New shit Happy? It just seems like nobody knows Fix the mirror So I don’t have to pick Up these Fragments of myself Fix the mirror So I don’t have to Pick up myself Wrap my hand The blood makes me Sick to my Stomach and I fall down Wrap my hand The blood makes me Sick to my Fucking stomach
