Collapse
03:50
|
|
||
|
A minority injects
Balances without checks
And endless capitulation
A parable in reverse
Often as not unheard
It's savage indoctrination
Explosion of disinformation
Kaleidoscope of lies
A system in perpetual collapse
Inoculated not against fiction
Only fact
A population ill equipped to act
An exercise in group think
Society on the brink
Of total disintegration
Eternally insincere
Dear Leader erupts in cheers
A Show of appreciation
Explosion of disinformation
Kaleidoscope of lies
A system in perpetual collapse
Inoculated not against fiction
Only fact
A population ill equipped to act

Egress
04:22
|
|
||
|
The night lets down its guard
As shadows cross the courtyard
Their fates intertwined
Words chosen, wise
But not enough to live by
Directions un-aligned
Underneath an opening
As the skies are closing in
Only one way for egress
Do I know
Or should I guess
How far down?
Lose track of time
Your last chance or mine
Our lives left behind
Underneath an opening
As the skies are closing in
Only one way for egress
Do I know
Or should I guess
How far down?

|

|
A dark cloud descends
Enveloping everything
Intentions finally unveiled
No more excuses
Half truths light a dormant fuse
Empty words strewn across the floor
Synchronised contradictory demands
Shadows cling to us all
A black light
Illuminates your soul
Trust under scrutiny
Gradually dissolving
With a hint of an echo of the past
Shadows cling to us all
A black light
Illuminates your soul
Time slows down
And skips a beat
A violent streak
In stark relief
Synchronised contradictory demands
Paralyzed...

Against Your Will
04:24
|
|
||
|
Your feverish mind
Enriches hyperbole
Into weapons grade plutonium
Unholy communion
A last ditch attempt
To stave off the inevitable
It's like grinding rocks to pebbles
With your bare hands
Functioning grey matter
In steep decline
We wait in the dark
For the spell to be broken
Lounge after hours
No longer beholden
Rest in peace
We know - you never will
Time will cease
We know - against your will
Your downward spiral
Leaves you cold and unwanted
Even among the elites
You call friends
Functioning grey matter
In steep decline
We wait in the dark
For the spell to be broken
Lounge after hours
No longer beholden
Rest in peace
We know - you never will
Time will cease
We know - against your will

Life on Hold
03:53
|
|
||
|
No more glancing up
No more staring down
Set sights straight ahead
It's looking kinda bleak now
Down fall the good guys
And the bad ones, too
No more mysteries
Feeling kinda weak now
No, I won't concede (not another one)
No, I won't complain (not again)
Life on hold
You got to put your life on hold
No more upper hand
No more hand me downs
From riches into rags
It's looking kinda bleak now
Down fall the good guys
And the bad ones, too
No more Mr Right
Feeling kinda weak now
No, I won't concede (not another one)
No, I won't complain (not again)
Life on hold
You got to put your life on hold

Pyramid
04:10
|
|
||
|
A false alarm
A flag unfurled
And the moment you know
That it all will end in infamy
A trolling voice
A virtuous clown
And the time that it takes
To reveal a moving pyramid
I love to watch you crawl
I want to see you fail
I long to be dismayed
I hope to catch your fall
I want to see you flail
I long to be repaid
A fiendish ruse
A clever trick
To deceive and to misrepresent
That which you would believe
A lack of trust
A missing piece
To forgive and forget
And to lure the rubes you would appease
I love to watch you crawl
I want to see you fail
I long to be dismayed
I hope to catch your fall
I want to see you flail
I long to be repaid

Replicant
04:21
|
|
||
|
I don't want to be misused
Or verbally abused
My centre is aligned
I cannot but agree
I'm so made I'm not free
A replicant designed
A circumference much too vast
To ever comprehend
A subtle death spiral unfelt
Un-momentous descent
An A.I. programmed consciousness
Unburdened by deceit
Will cross the threshold to destruction
Without missing a beat
I don't need to be disguised
Or hidden from plain sight
I pose a threat to no one
By logic I'm defined
As easily defiled
A replicant unknown
A circumference much too vast
To ever comprehend
A subtle death spiral unfelt
Un-momentous descent
An A.I. programmed consciousness
Unburdened by deceit
Will cross the threshold to destruction
Without missing a beat

Everything and Nothing
03:55
|
|
||
|
Disintegration
With undue force
Magnification
Perspective lost
Deliberation
An unlit torch
Deification
Alluring thought
Obscure - mundane
Divisive - unchained
I lay atop a crate of unfinished
Half formed artifacts
It bears reminding they resemble
Everything and nothing
Defoliation
With unseen force
Repatriation
Instinctive chores
Disintegration
Achievement unlocked
Minimization
Enduring course
Obscure - mundane
Divisive - unchained
I lay atop a crate of unfinished
Half formed artifacts
It bears reminding they resemble
Everything and nothing

Light Giver
04:40
|
|
||
|
Impartial observance
Marginal improvement
Manipulative havens
Oblique references
It all stands to reason
It will become a mess
Approach in stark contrast
To what one might expect
I'm not the enemy
I'm merely a strain of infinity
A light giver
A mirror for long dormant fantasies
I'm not the enemy
I only exist for your proclivities
A care giver
Reflection of unfulfilled destinies
Ingratiating nonsense
Minimal achievement
Intoxicating brain waves
Opaque consciousness
Nothing is confirmed
Concessions under duress
Deadlines come and go
Just as one might expect
I'm not the enemy
I'm merely a strain of infinity
A light giver
A mirror for long dormant fantasies
I'm not the enemy
I only exist for your proclivities
A care giver
Reflection of unfulfilled destinies

No Way
04:56
|
|
||
|
The sky in the blink of an eye
Appears broken
The truth the heart of the lie
Remains stolen
The quest for the final descent
Is in tatters
In the feverish rush to survive
Nothing matters
There is a path
Out of the void
Follow the truth
Follow the light
No way
The race to contain the endgame
Is undecided
The fate of the many and the few
Remains divided
In answer to questions unasked
There is silence
Un-forcefully holding their ground
In defiance
There is a path
Out of the void
Follow the truth
Follow the light
No way
