Silence 04:21
lyrics
I built up these walls as pressure built inside I roam around lost wallowing in time I am the fire, engulfing my creation There will be no escape, and out of the ashes burned The embers of silence I’ll find no god, I’ll find no reason Outside these walls, I am a slave to fate Anywhere I choose, there’s really no direction I’d be a fool to think I can get away Don’t be a slave to fate When you’re gone, you will have nothing to say While you’re here, you’ll erupt and suffer in flames And out of the ashes burned the embers I’m here to stay when they go away Yes, I’m the omnipotent ghost you chase

Strewn 04:10
lyrics
Every now and then I lose a bit of consciousness Then I don’t know who I am or what I’ll become next I don’t want to look over my shoulder anymore I don’t want to beware of myself now anymore Everything has fallen apart Don’t stare, just look away before you see it I saw the body from afar I’m not the body that you saw Mothership mayday distress I had a life, I lived it less I made a promise, I had to cross the light before you found me in a box Before I regret my last request, I’m going to look away before I see it Everything has fallen apart Don’t stare, just look away before you see it We’re crippled, clutching the bouquet Under a life of still moments Every now and then I lose a bit of consciousness

Non-Exclusive 06:20
lyrics
We’re running out of time It’s a quarter past nothing left to say Just leave me hangin’ all astray Waiting for a bite But the taste is not exclusive, I know If I could turn back time Well there’s a lot of shit I’d never say to you Things that left me all exposed Waiting for your love But your love is not exclusive Now I know I’ve got to run away Got to lock myself inside and throw away the key Cause I can only trust myself Everybody else is lying just to get their way So why don’t I do the same? The world is out to get you There are all these fucked up people Who will strangle you just to watch you die And even then, they will never let go I knew I was right, I knew i would never let it go Til the day it’s pried from my dead hands I knew I would fight, I knew I would Struggle with the grudge until the day that I can trust again Never gonna know what you’re gonna be Never gonna know until you open your fucking eyes Absence makes the heart grow fonder But I’ve been hanging on too long Less is more, but this is atrocious I’ve been hanging on too long Who knew I’d open up and let someone inside me Who knew I’d open up my heart to be shattered again Who knew you’d be no different from the rest of the world I knew, but I lost myself and let my hope get the best of me

The Calling 05:21
lyrics
How does it feel to be among the white trash? Garbage roams the street like tumble weed Looking for a trace of class Finds its home in roaming aimlessly And always living in the past When I take my place amongst the whitest of the trash I will abuse all I love on a daily basis Drop all sense of rationale at the door Lose all hope for a normal life, a trivial existence How does it feel? Does it feel? Doesn’t feel good Cancerous whores of society Have expensive taste in crack Growing tumours they can not afford Dying slow won’t pay it back When I take my place amongst the whitest of the trash I will abuse all I love on a daily basis Drop all sense of rationale at the door Lose all hope for a normal life, a pitiful existence How does it feel? Does it feel? Doesn’t feel good
5.
Strange Gratification 04:29
lyrics
Long lost stranger turn away You are not in this soul anymore I have not seen you in so long Now that I’m alone, you’ve come back for more Long lost mirror, I’ve gotta say I didn’t expect you to break so soon Glorified failures, rejoice Now there’s nothing you can do I’m getting stranger and I’m powerless To stop my obsession I’m trying but it’s not enough to stop me from failing I am the pitiful, pathetic part you don’t want to know I keep pushing alone on these daises until the end of time Who wants to be a failure? Somebody’s gotta take that hit We can pretend all we want that our efforts matter but I know we’re all full of shit. How can I love myself if I don’t have the love of another I can’t escape the day smothered By my own optimist, it grabs ahold and never lets go Now you control the world and I own nothing, I have nothing Don’t think for one second I haven’t noticed what you’re up to You’ve sabotaged everything How am I alive today? I’ve fallen from a high place Unaware of the scheme everyone else knows by heart to this day They rub it in, they make me feel so dead I’m caught in this strange masquerade of instant gratification

Purple (Transformer) 06:50
lyrics
Lead me to death or tell me when should I Stop holding my breath Boys tend to turn purple When you give us no good reason Oh, the baggage I’ve kept My poor heckled ego submits to the red, hoarse cupid
7.
Solace (In The Arms of Madness) 03:41
lyrics
None of us… We don’t have control In our quiet desperation, we give ourselves more I have reason to believe you’re a figment of my imagination All this time I’ve been finding solace in places it does not belong

Recoil 04:06
lyrics
You’ve got silky smooth, I’ve got phallic eyes Happens every day, happens all the time Piercing through the shame, try to feel alive It could happen but, who am I kidding right? Crudely made to serve me It’s not enough til I break my Habit of seeing lightness with closed eyes Enlighten me, move me in ways I can’t stop thinking, can’t concentrate Don’t want to tell you how I’ve been…… It only gets harder from here It only goes downhill from here But I’m not dead yet so evidently I’m fine A balanced mind, no shame, no fear Never tried to lose it man, I just lost my mind Blame the tomb I’m rotting in, the world that we must fight Never tried to lose it man, I’m empty all the time Nothing’s real anymore and I can’t prove otherwise I’ve been ready to feel what I can’t conceive A chance occurrence of undeniable reality Fuck me…. Throughout all these nights I’ve been feeling like a lonesome spectre Hesitant towards every warm young body Never tried to lose it man, I just lost my mind Blame the tomb I’m rotting in, the world that we must fight Never tried to lose it man, I’m empty all the time Nothing’s real anymore and I can’t prove otherwise I’ve been ready to feel what I can’t conceive A chance occurrence of undeniable reality

Catharsis 05:04
lyrics
(like a brick wall in the fucking fog of night)

Lethargy 05:58
lyrics
I’ve dug so long and hard to get where I am Now that I am here I’m gone again There are so many ways for me to tell you I’m alive But there’s a million more you can tell me I’m a liar Bitterness has pushed me past the waves to shore A zombie like me could never feel anymore There are so many ways to tell you I am alive But there’s a million more you can tell me I am a liar Now I’ve seen the error of my ways And I know how to suffer the right way Until the end of time…
