1.
The Cult 03:59
There's a house on the mountain side Where a sick sect of people reside And they recite their hateful spew Take your words and use them against you Fire I'm so tired Fire I'm so tired What they do is rearrange your thoughts Make you something, what you think your not But I'm not scared, I have no fear Gonna burn this place into thin air Fire I'm so tired Fire I'm so tired And tonight I plan my escape The moon is full and my heart is filled with rage with this match, gasoline Gonna show this city what I mean

I see the sea and the sea sees me Seeing the signs of intimacy The narcissists that use their lips Those pessimistic lists 'round their wrists I am falling into patterns While I watch the forest burn I know it don't really matter Just the way the world will turn The vantage point that does exploit The mind confined in time goes blind Monopolies, commodities The tragedy of hypocrisy I am falling into patterns While I watch the forest burn I know it don't really matter Just the way the world will turn The gleam of screens destroying dreams Pictural scenes are vanishing I see the sea but the sea seized me Showing no signs of empathy I am falling into patterns While I watch the forest burn I know it don't really matter Just the way the world will turn

Atrophy 01:44
Electric shocks keep me up at night Electric shocks keep me up at night I know there's no way to escape Stacked events determine fate I've sewn the quilt I feel the wrath it's obvious when you do the math Exhaustion follows me around While bodies buried into the ground I know I'm cursed I won't forget That my needs are scarcely met Cause I am off my meds in my bed With the fog clear things are so real Climbing steps, I'm so repressed I'm sick of the way I feel Don't come around I'll bring you down 'Cause I'm a target for a frown Catastrophy mental atrophy And I have a got a grid on my skin Not sure where I have been But when I show no one can see This parallel reality I recognize the patterns here Where burns are interior As I search for my answers Society riding sick with cancers I am off my meds in my bed With the fog clear things are so real Climbing steps, I'm so repressed I'm sick of the way I feel Down't come around I'll bring you down 'Cause I'm a targe for a frown Catastrophy mental atrophy Sick with a feeling that nothing holds a meaning Interesting finding distraction is every binding Light without a fight Don't know if I'm alright Fractured and elastic Electric shocks keep me up at night Electric shocks keep me up at night

Coffin 03:00

Dead 01:29
Sleepin on the street and you got nothing to eat Now your stayin in my bed payin rent by giving head
6.
Entropic Condition Weighted Decision Cracked canine rotates around the sun Kiss and a tear as you disappear Ghosts appear Indulgent depletion The compass is broken The stars have spoken instantaneous combustions Filtered abcess Empathy is this Chromatic pupil Close my eyes Displace the scent As the corpse forments Loss of a being sentient Contact withdrawl Shaped condition As our bodies to dance Insult to Injury Descend Degrate spiritually Condemned to the addiction of your body in decay A split in my intellect Pineal Disconnect Fracturing void of cells splicing as you face Humbled routine Submerged dreams awaken As I say nothing can ever be the same
7.
Rich People 03:38
So you want waterfalls You don't need anything at all You want your feet in toxic sand To spread your wealth across the land Come rot with me I'll show you what I see Come rot with me Deconstructing everything I see skies so blue Reflecting things I never knew Well life can be so cruel You feel it in your molecules Come rot with me I'll show you what I see Come rot with me Deconstructing everything Rich people are so poor 'Cause money's all they're looking for With no empathy, just greed They never help someone in need Come rot with me I'll show you what I see Come rot with me Deconstructing everything
8.
Gravity 02:04
Life's a dream My dreams Well they're all nightmares What I see is not reflected in your mirrors So you want to talk to me Even the blind can see you cooked my heart bloody What you keep inside Is why you run to hide Submersed in your mind is something contrived So you want to talk to me Even the blind can see you cooked my heart bloody When you come around Its a red flag in a crowd There's warning signs A fog light found Bringing silence to our sound So you want to talk to me Even the blind can see You cooked my heart bloody
9.
Stereo 03:17
Introspective rodeo Convoluted radio Stereo Don't tell me what to do So sorry for the few Diluting the view Don't tell me what to do Solo Karaoke Key of E No one listening Leave me alone Go back where you come from Don't tell me what to do So sorry for the few Diluting the view Don't tell me what to do Tremble as your fluttering Why you're still lingering? Ready to drag Your bones' so broke Your skin it starts to sag
10.
Bad Luck 03:17
Bad luck keeps finding me Can't get any sleep Distractions what I need To let the wounds just bleed Trouble always finds a way Forget positivity Try hard to retreat Time to admit defeat A dollar short A day too late Can't seem to navigate Shoulda been here Just missed out Might as well fade out The lights you cannot see The false realities Fogetting memories Feeling like nobody A doctrine of distress No way to clean this mess There's always someone with mess Don't you know this is a test A dollar short A day too late Can't seem to navigate Shoulda been here Just missed out Might as well fade out You're just some worker bee No revolutionary Cater indefinitely Destroyed internally A means to an end How far will you bend To never comprehend As they just condescend A dollar short A day too late Can't seem to navigate Shoulda been here Just missed out Might as well fade out
