Mostly The Voices
03:42

Life is easy when you're mostly controlled by voices
All these noises
I go to sleep and then they speak to me
Somebody asked me if I'm ok
Of course I'm ok
You'll never know how it feels
Superior and so engaging
I'm here, I'm here
Listen to what I say

Walk Slash Run
03:01
|
|

Happy to stand in line and waste some time
Stabbing is magical when you want to be right
No more insults hurled towards me
Bad businessmen look like pantomimes
Main adversary
Follows right behind me
Walk slash run
He even had a gun
No real meaning
Behind all this talking
No real meaning
Bare bones

Encomium

When the time comes
When the pain separates
The boys from men
Stay in your cell
Where the frozen eyes
Tell you to where to hide
Imagine things
And yet they're real
Very much make you bleed
Your body shakes
Take the last steps
And leap to a better place
Keep telling yourself
Keep telling yourself
When the nuke gets here
They shake your hand
But take a share which is why
You'll never live
Try to find a way
Live to bleed and lay down
Never had a friend
Knee deep in piss
Yesterday was the day
Where you saw the end
Keep telling yourself
Keep telling yourself
When the nuke gets here
Encomium
All these promises never kept
Still you wonder why you never reach
They shook your hand
But took a share and made sure that you'd never live
Head to toes in hell
And today is the day
When you'll see the end
Keep telling yourself
Keep telling yourself
When the nuke gets here
Keep telling yourself
Keep telling yourself
When the nuke lands here

3D Land
03:51
|
|

We are in 3D land
It started as a joke
Behind the glaring eye
Our placement in the sun
Swallowed in hatred
Ensnared in see-through smoke
Out of touch with reality
Butt heads with a face unknown
I'll see you later
When you're awakened by the sound
And as your mind burns
The weight will meet the ground
It's on your shoulders
But think about this now
Cause when your mind burns
The weight will meet the ground
Strike rich in 3D land
Is a non-conformist dream
Buried in 3D land
With anonymous history
In a wedding of chemicals
Lay down beside each one
I'll see you later
When you're awakened by the sound
And as your mind burns
The weight will meet the ground
It's on your shoulders
But think about this now
Cause when your mind burns
The weight will meet the ground
Don't believe...it's shit

Life In Quicksand
04:08
|
|
||
Take a look
The bad user is everywhere
Puts a life in quicksand
The poison thief is everywhere
I can't begin to accumulate
The courage needed to accelerate
Hold me down
Pull the switch
The blood will splatter everywhere
Like an island sinking
It's going slowly
But every day
I can't begin to accumulate
The courage needed to accelerate
Hold me down
Pay for peace
The frozen silence terrifies
Can't loosen up
There's a robot army in my veins
I can't begin to accumulate
The courage needed to accelerate
Hold me down

Peter
04:01
|
|

You think it hurts me?
I don't see how it would
It's a bad insult
Delivered in a way that's very weak
You want to make me cry
But it's like bombs to a graveyard
Peter, cheer up
You want to see how I take a life?
Peter, cheer up
You'll live in memories
Memories
Always
Comin' round the corner
Like he's gonna get me
All buffed in anger
Another life ends in mystery
You want to make me die
But it's like bullets to bullet holes
Peter, cheer up
You want to see how I live life?
Peter, cheer up
You'll live in memories
Memories
Always
Peter, Peter, Peter
Peter out
Peter, Peter, Peter
Peter out

One small machine
Floats aimlessly in space
One man grabs
Said machine to get away
No zone is safe
When said man comes back again
He'll stop your mind
Is this where it ends?
I belive they said it's not normal
These avant-garde machines know too much
I belive they said it's not normal
These avant-garde machines bleed too much
Technology
There's too much to recall
Obscure schemes
Behind the sleeping walls
Misinformation and disregard
At every station
We better not believe
Anything this human says
I belive they said it's not normal
These avant-garde machines know too much
I belive they said it's not normal
These avant-garde machines bleed too much
I know, I know, I know
But still I go
I know, I know, I know
But still I go
I know, I know, I know

Safety Reasons
03:39
|
|
||
Again I swallow the pill
Again I see the kill
Walk through the door and stare at me
How can I still think I'm free?
Look outside
The acid rain dominates
The planning for the future
Violates every right to life
That you've ever been thinking of
That's the reason to leave this station
Jump off together
It might be too late to apologize
And we owe a big one
The smog of the brain
Makes all the sense come undone
For safety reasons
Let it come undone
For safety reasons
Let it come undone
For safety reasons
Let it come undone
For safety reasons
Tomorrow could be the long awaited time
When we see whose number is up
We did form a line
Like in a nightmare you're a statue
But hell-bent to move out
Our hunger makes no sense
We use death when in doubt
For safety reasons
For safety reasons

Revenge
03:41

|

Are you happy when the summertimes fade?
Are you okay when the children cannot play?
You're lobotomized
Living in a weak charade
Are you happy?
Now I put you in your grave
This game you cannot play
And what happened yesterday
Will define everything
This game you cannot play
And what happened here today
Is the reason for it all
Now the next one
Killed everyone in sight
He had no friends
And never did anything right
All the rules you write but stand above it all
It's not your problem but these bullets find you all
This game you cannot play
And what happened yesterday
Will define everything
This game you cannot play
And what happened here today
Is the reason for it all
