Apathocracy 04:28
A hundred wasted years Of ignorant praise and faith Raised hands for the CEO Worship greedy industry But what did you think? When profits guide the direction We're so lucky It's so comfy And I'm dreary From the thought Just five more minutes Don't wake me from my slumber Don't ask the questions If it ain't broke… All hope for critical thought has atrophied I haven't seen much but I've witnessed the character of a nation die Why can't you wake up? Why can't you fucking think? Fill your role while they fill your head Chug along like you should Forever a self fulfilling prophecy of self indulgence An endless cycle of fruitless hope and mindless tropes Fuck Wake from your endless sleep When we all know What they want Then we will know That they own us And all our decisions When I see this I see fear Fear of the openness Afraid and unsure of what changes us And where the energy Necessary to push it Comes from and What brings us to What made us so great But its not too late We can resurrect We can bring ourselves from them If we allow ourselves to think But there's not much time They’ve constructed our cells Prisoners of comfort, gave in to base Urges to maintain, status quo without Concept of growth Forced in the machine, grind and destroy us Without question We are destined for Mindless life A culture of blank slates Used to increase profits At the cost of our minds Wake up we can escape this Wake up we have to destroy them

Proxy Mind 03:17
Since the dawn of time Men have spilt the blood of their brothers Heeding order of a man atop a throne When heartlessness leads our way Rage will enable their control We're slaves awaiting deathly orders Accepting a fate we hate We assemble and end their reign A broken day With no promised end To all the fear and pain that we have seen When all is said and done The bloods been shed And were just stuck here Waiting for the end To resurrect A darkness that grips our mind And wander as we seek the truth But redirect And wait for the proxy to fail Assumed facades conceal the truth We wont suffer alone A broken day With no promised end To all the fear and pain that we have seen When all is said and done The bloods been shed And were just stuck here Waiting for the end

SDB 05:01
Chorus: Even through Weaving woe And feeling my old age Bleeding as the walls collapse Surrounding me And all the lasts will tell Even at the end Condemned in me The affliction bears torment Like a rotting apple Weighs down its boughs Anxiety of release Corrupt foundation Spoiled flesh fruit left to fester Falling and failing much faster When Am I Whole? It seethes in me That path to ascending to power Lost as it becomes Powerless For the only thing to feel For the last chance to escape this For the only thing left for me I am consumed Chorus And even as the power grows inside of me I lose track of the bastion And take away And even though even though I've lost each battle that I've fought Even though I'm certain of nothing I'll continue this long haul Chorus Break And ascend from the cavern Assessing damage delicate mind Where do I find me Seek not to adorn this A worthy countenance This filth , Not to conceal it But become aware Of this hate And suffer the self is, self is, destruction

Awaken me! I'm lost in dreams of comfort gone And when the silence breaks I'll ask for more For tearing wounds that bleed Viscera pooling Find my hands tearing at the cloth Chorus: Until the end The light that fades away from me I've had Enough Till your vile voice Sings true your wickedness As you watch me fall I've had Enough of you Tear away from this Break the bonds that hold Understanding has rocked the boat Withstanding a torrent of vitriol horror Has left me shaken The day breaks anew as I am awaiting the end of the night With bated breath and sweaty palms Eyes ease open struck with light A distant hope in my mind When the reckless ones Take the light I see the ageless hate defined And how its power stuns Out of spite Chorus You think I'm falling away Filled with naiveté this shit led me astray But you know not of me Pain strengthens what's deep in me This is a guarantee Your false face emblazons a loud decree Of your hate Will not wait Astray decay For my delay Bleeding out Concealed in doubt A distant hope grows in my mind When the reckless tried To take the light I saw the ageless hate defined And how its power died Its out of fight Till your vile voice Sings true your wretchedness As you watch me fall I've had Enough of you

Adrift 05:44
Set sail, head for the coast Against an angry tide The waves bite at our keel As storms tear out upon the wide The horizon disappears An angry sea Our fear is building We are losing ourselves Soaking wet and beaten down Search for an answer Dreams of the end and when we're found resolve cannot decay And even through a million years Lost and forgotten, filled with fears Without your voice Without the healing bond Like a ship lost at sea Tossed and thrown intensely Awaiting calm And we're struck to find it Find a way to dry land Our tears are building We are losing our hope But as hope seems to decay We're so lost You've been lost Goodbyes never seem so final Feeling sure the storm wont pass All the hope decayed All the life away Lost in ether Seeming endlessly To the heart of me Take me instead In all, its not that long Since you were made to leave us And yet I can't stand the thought Of all you've missed and all you will miss But if I could tell you just one thing Have one more chance to hear your voice I would pledge to make it through And swear your love will carry on For In our hearts you will not die And even in the years A song reflecting A distant dream of when we'll find Solace inside Like the floating of a ship We were adrift in sorrow Our hope is building We are finding ourselves Our lives were altered Searched for an answer Dreamed of the end and to maintain Love will not decay And even through a million years We'll hold you close and hold you dear And I will take this forward, make this promise I will never let go

Acension 05:39
This hunger grows inside Open my eyes With rigid hands and fingers Climb and arise The blackest night was dark enough To alter my precept of all I am And what was made Self-hate within selfishness I have seen An end to this; The evil that has grown in me And let me see what reality is true for me Broke me down And let me grow To accept What I really am Closed eyes Black out the sun Fear sealing them I'd fallen so far down Trapped, caved in and losing hope for what my future holds Reckoning, I've seen What's keeping me Around for all these years There's lit eyes of hope Grasped by familiar faces Don't forget to see them there take their hand And accept their embraces When the light had faded away And all that I knew was taken When fear had consumed my mind, And a heartless contempt for self enveloped A viciousness in selfishness that promises and menaces The darkness inside was of my design Creation of a monster lied inside The bruised heart of a blistered soul One last dive To rid your skull of this crumbling divide I've seen this before I won't take part again Promise me That this is My last dive With eyes locked closed Its easy to miss them when cries go unexposed Appeasing this mayhem self doubt and hatred Remember, elated You are not alone

Atop a high horse Raining his judgement down Turning a nose up Draped in self-righteousness Assessing me To be Lacking passion Sarcastically Aware Of my condition Battering souls will never ascend you Awakening to all you have broken now I will not bow down in reverence to a man A crownless king who rules an abstract land As if awaiting for the subjects passive To kiss his hand He cannot hide When the world finds lunacy of a narcissistic man We've seen enough Of this madness It's clear to me That your callous You can't Well I can Not you For this needs some heart When the light Shines upon it We will see The honesty within I will not bow down in reverence to a man A crownless king who rules an abstract land As if awaiting for the subjects passive To kiss his hand He cannot hide When the world finds lunacy of a narcissistic man Now we know As if the guises transparent Fall to show The disdain is inherent Takes the pages From the book of a conceited asshole Never asking If he's crownless what is he but a fool

Such is Life 03:43
Another wasted day One that we have waited for Another useless dream awaiting Adjust the façade Maintain the connection Assume what was felt Emulate like you mean it Becoming takes little And mimicry is so effortless Fake Copy, paste and move away from the screen Why bother In the end There seems so little variance And besides its not why they listen, is it? But what's the point When all I cane is restricted By all that they were Seeking truths And acknowledge who I am The resonance is personal And no matter the effort I am not them Seeking for a face I've lost my soul Lost my purpose Lost my name But regain, remain And take the reigns Another wasted day One that we had waited fro To be the face that we never owned Another wasted day What the fuck were we waiting for Embrace reality And break away All that you are And all that you hope for Forced fed from their hands You eat it willful This isn't what you asked for Grow find your ground And find your voice No one can answer the questions What's the fucking point of it And once you achieve Something that seems From the heart Then you'll know What's the fucking point of it
