Consternation

In violence we have learned our place and through this fear we’ll forever be this way
Stricken we lay ourselves down as we suffocate in the waste
Clench your eyes shut but it only gets worse every time that you look back to see
Still you can’t stop staring at the fire as it consumes everything
We live in fear of what we have become now
It's all our hate that has made this world real
We live in fear of what we have become now
This oscillating consternation just builds and builds
We live in fear
Now the death rattle of a nation screams vociferously across our city
Oh the sound will never stop until you sing along it will show no pity
So together now we all just fall alone in the dread that’s left of the lives we led
In the cold we warm ourselves by the fire we set to the dreams we had
We live in fear of what we have become now
It's all our hate that has made this world real
We live in fear of what we have become now
This oscillating consternation just builds and builds
We live in fear
We live just to wait until we die
This world’s where only dread thrives
In terror we now live our lives
This world is where only dread thrives
We live in fear of what we have become now
It's all our hate that has made this world real
We live in fear of what we have become now
This oscillating consternation just builds and builds

Cells Within Cells

There’s no end to the static sound now it has gotten so loud
And we believe exactly what we need to do what we must
We wear this anger and hate and bare our callouses proud
As the static becomes deafening this hardened grip begins to crush us
So as the walls now stand tall here divided we find ourselves
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells
Deafened to all but this machine as it now just beats and compels
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells endless
Born from darkness this action of creation defies purpose
There’s no humanity in what we do there is no right
It is twisted until it reflects us in its surface
We’re all just ready to die because we’ve only known this life
So as the walls now stand tall here divided we find ourselves
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells
Deafened to all but this machine as it now just beats and compels
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells endless
We’ve made our enemies from wires
So we can justify this
We give a purpose to the lost
And send them to die for our cause
So as the walls now stand tall here divided we find ourselves
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells
Deafened to all but this machine as it now just beats and compels
Co-opted by an endless system of noise and cells within cells
This is endless and forever now - We’re blinded to our own hate

Perfect World
03:58
|
|||
|
The sirens wail as the air now begins to thin and choke
And the grip tightens that is used to keep control of what is spoke
We do not live in fear because we’ve something to hide
No we live in fear because what’s wrong is for you to decide
And so you echo it back until you believe every word
You will only tolerate ‘till what you say is not what you’ve heard
And we have built this future with both our eyes and mouth shut
Here in this darkness ‘til we have engineered your perfect world
So we feed out of fear of being eaten by our own
From the first until the last we must never stop casting stones
Now the sea of nameless voices demands to be appeased
You will bow to every whim or your existence will be ceased
And so you echo it back until you believe every word
You will only tolerate ‘till what you say is not what you’ve heard
And we have built this future with both our eyes and mouth shut
Here in this darkness ‘til we have engineered your perfect world
Until there’s nothing left
They will eat their own
Like beasts they must be fed
And so they eat their own
And so you echo it back until you believe every word
You only tolerate ‘till what you say is not what you’ve heard
And we have built this future with both our eyes and mouth shut
Oh in this darkness ‘til we have engineered your perfect world

Feel Again
04:48
|

Falling backwards for all these years yet I just cannot get used to the drop
And nothing now seems to overcome the resounding persistence of loss
All these moments that echo in me lead me further through this desert alone
A thousand miles nor a thousand years will ever see me find my way home
I want to know if I’ll feel the same again
Cause it seems like this pain will never end
And every moment the crawl of time
Keeps washing away any chance of mine
I want to know if all that I’ve lost to this
Spent alone will be worth all the life I’ve missed
Trying to find what I had once when
But I am afraid that now I’ll never feel love again
Oh now this absence that consumes me keeps me tied and shackled in place
And every moment I spend here now there’s a growing fear that I won’t escape
So as the weight of every day spent living this way bears down on me
I live haunted by dreams where I die knowing that’s the only way I’ll be free
I want to know if I’ll feel the same again
Cause it seems like this pain will never end
And every moment the crawl of time
Keeps washing away any chance of mine
I want to know if all that I’ve lost to this
Spent alone will be worth the life I’ve missed
Trying to find what I had once when
But I am afraid that now I’ll never feel love again

Skin
04:58
|

|
White wires and the nameless above and in control
The taste is shameless when it’s spat down from the mouth of waste
The hole is filled but still it doesn’t make you whole
You swallow till the shame that you can’t taste drips from your face
Pieces are removed until you have destroyed the core
What is given just takes from the embrace of what could have been
Feeding endlessly to reverse the rot but you make more
You’ve shown the world what’s inside and now you will never be clean
You think it’s easy to bleed
But you only suffer to see
Just how deep that you can fit into this machine
But when how far you that’ll fall
Surmounts what’s paid to crawl
Then the skin you sell won’t fit on you at all
Then the skin you sell won’t fit on you at all
Pieces are removed until you have destroyed the core
What is given just takes from the embrace of what could have been
Feeding endlessly to reverse the rot but you make more
You’ve shown the world what’s inside and now you will never be clean
You think it’s easy to bleed
But you only suffer to see
Just how deep that you can fit into this machine
But when how far you that’ll fall
Surmounts what’s paid to crawl
Then the skin you sell won’t fit on you at all

Left Behind
04:56
|

Through the glass I can make out shapes of all the lives that I’ve never known
All these broken pieces of me don’t fit together at all
They just crumble and break every time that I try to make them whole
Oh is all that I am only ever designed to fall?
So one by one until my endings have begun
Everyone just turns away now this damage cannot be undone
Yet I’ve bled for this to stop but all that I can find
Is the emptiness of this life in which I have been left behind
Now the cold’s endless embrace is all that ever seems to stay
So alone I fall here now this damage is all I can give
And this fate that I’ve made is a path from which I can never be saved
I can only see through the glass at a life that I can never live
So one by one until my endings have begun
Everyone just turns away now this damage cannot be undone
Yet I’ve bled for this to stop but all that I can find
Is the emptiness of this life in which I have been left behind

Face Beneath The Waves
04:27
|

|
So we wait for our time silenced head down we stand in line
It is anything to fit this design less we all just get left to die
Here in this cold steel world I wish I could destroy the need
As I break in servitude for the whores and their grotesque machine
As long as I can bleed I have to serve this need
But time will only tear these wounds deeper inside of me
And now I know that I will never leave this place
Trapped here I fade just another face beneath the waves
These faces distorted reflecting endless echoing loneliness
Birthed from a world that can only offer isolation and darkness
Now decay’s all I feel and my hope is like a fistful of sand
Cause I can’t recall when I held anything but this loss in my hands
As long as I can bleed I have to serve this need
But time will only tear these wounds deeper inside of me
And now I know that I will never leave this place
Trapped here I fade just another face beneath the waves

Displaced
05:04
|

Sinking down in silence all I feel is the weight of the current as it shifts
In this endless black that finds itself wrapped around me as I now drown
Echoes call to me of what once was from a place that no longer exists
Lost beyond the veil I’m just dragged down by a longing to be found
What life is there in a world that’s become an endless abyss?
Tied to these machines that feed on our dreams are we only designed to bleed like this?
Oh there must be more to life but I can’t find my way
If we all have our grave in this then I will die displaced without a name
A chill that forever burns in me as this blood black sea continues to heave
I reach through but the cold steel that I find just keeps me stricken here in place
All is washed away by the pounding waves that forever pull and swallow me
Down into the black of the desert’s formless dark cold embrace
What life is there in a world that’s become an endless abyss?
Tied to these machines that feed on our dreams are we only designed to bleed like this?
Oh there must be more to life but I can’t find my way
If we all have our grave in this then I will die displaced without a name
Lost in a world I don’t recognise
I long for what I can never find
And through the passages of time
Without a name is how I’ll die

Slow Blade
04:00
|
|||
|
The end’s begun and by our own hands it’s been set in motion
Oh now even the sand we bury our heads in will be all washed away by the ocean
All that we’ve indulged upon has poisoned us but we will not allow ourselves to notice
‘cause we all know that stopping any of this has now all but become completely hopeless
So this is just the price we pay for building our world in decay
And so now we can only wait as our foundations just give way
Was there ever any hope for us? it’s our nature to destroy ourselves
We stabbed this slow blade into our own hearts when we made this hell
Beasts that will leave only dust they were never designed to crumble or rust
And through our failed attempts we try to separate all the monsters we have now made out of us
But we have just created our own cages that will only now hold us and entrap us all
Still we all pass the blame ‘cause we will never admit any of the fault for our hand in the coming fall
So this is just the price we pay for building our world in decay
And so now we can only wait as our foundations just give way
Was there ever any hope for us? It’s our nature to destroy ourselves
We stabbed this slow blade into our own hearts when we made this hell

Atone
06:10
|
|||
|
I can feel it calling out to me like it is screaming now
But I don’t want it to know that I can’t ignore the sound
‘Cause I can feel it pulling me further with everyday
Until I take my final place within its dark embrace
And so this cold touch is all that I can feel
In this darkness everything becomes still
There – there’s a peace to this now of which I’ve never known
A fix to a life I’m desperate to atone
This feeling that still haunts me I fear it will never let go
And now it governs all of these moments spent here alone
This was all so different once before but I can’t remember how
I’m afraid that part of me is starting to want this now
And so this cold touch is all that I can feel
In this darkness everything becomes still
There – there’s a peace to this now of which I’ve never known
A fix to a life I’m desperate to atone
Nothing stops this
This pain’s forever
Now this cold touch is all that I can feel
In this darkness everything becomes still
There – there’s a peace to this now of which I’ve never known
A fix to a life I’m desperate to atone
