How does it feel to be the infection
We’ve got a plan to eradicate
A future world, just a prison
Better to prepare than to fabricate
This mortal human condition
The patient dead on the tile floor
Anesthetized to reality
Lobotomized for the new war
I know exactly why you came
I am the one that gets all the blame
I built the temple to be destroyed
There’s nothing left now to be enjoyed
Freedom is just a made up game
We drink it in and forget our names
A burning banner proudly unfurled
Future music for a futureless world
A symphony of destruction
Our weapons drawn on the battle lines
Self destructing ball we suck life from
We eat our flesh and we drink our blood wine
Methods of madness stocking the armory
Badge of battle we wear with callous pride
Blood money cashed in for empire
Apathetically pathetic, watch it all die
I know exactly why you came
I am the one that gets all the blame
I built the temple to be destroyed
There’s nothing left now to be enjoyed
Freedom is just a made up game
We drink it in and forget our names
A burning banner proudly unfurled
Future music for a futureless world
I know exactly why you came
I am the one that gets all the blame
I built the temple to be destroyed
There’s nothing left now to be enjoyed
Freedom is just a made up game
We drink it in and forget our names
A burning banner proudly unfurled
Future music for a futureless world

The Doom Scroll
04:24
|
|||
|
We've been taken to the brink
As foretold in the doom scroll
We have become everything that we fear
No lessons learned, we're ready to burn
As dread, madness, stupidity takes hold
And we unravel the foreboding doom scroll
The dire predictions fall into place
Like a steam locomotive along its track
All that we know and all that we love
Burns away in this cataclysm
Try to dream but only nightmares form
In this cruel and hopeless reality
Did you wonder if we could escape
This fate written in blood script
As the madness grips us tighter still
All hope fades like the setting sun
We've received the warning
In the doom scroll
We've been told our fate
In the doom scroll
Our fortune is sealed
In the doom scroll
Our pain is made certain
In the doom scroll
We've received the warning
In the doom scroll
We've been told our fate
In the doom scroll
Our fortune is sealed
In the doom scroll
Our pain is made certain
In the doom scroll
We are the cause of our own misfortune
We are the cause of our own misfortune
We are the cause of our own misfortune
We are the cause of our own misfortune, yeah
We've been taken to the brink
As foretold in the doom scroll
We have become everything that we fear
No lessons learned, we're ready to burn
The time to turn back has past
The scroll has been unsealed and unraveled
Suffering is our only future
Paving our way with tears.
The time to turn back has past

Broken Machine
03:29
|
|||
|
Eye for a lie, the bad guy
Always the one currently aiming the gun
Pointed for peace, our love bombs
Just do what we say, never do as we do
Hypocrites, without critique
Everything that's on the internet's true
We'll step on anyone to reach the top
Tie around our necks, better to hang us with
I'm finding out
That nothing can save
This broken machine
With the corrosion set in
Wires frayed
It's ruined everything
Wicked wars, a crazed god
Monkey brains can't cope without hope
Screaming slient, gone to pot,
The apathy awards glamour head shot
Mangled angels, amazed disgrace,
Worship the gods of country and cash
Ameri-can't and it never could
U. S. isn't us, it stands for "u suck"
I'm finding out
That nothing can save
This broken machine
With the corrosion set in
Wires frayed
It's ruined everything
We need a doctor's note
To prove that we've been driven insane
We can't
Isolate these tears from the rain
We broke
The news and it can never be fixed
We know
The truth but we prefer the lies
We feel
Alone though we're connected always
We buy
Whatever the ad says we need
We want
What everyone else has but us
We fear
Everything and everyone
I'm finding out
That nothing can save
This broken machine
With the corrosion set in
Wires frayed
It's ruined everything
I'm finding out
That you can't repair
This damaged machine
When all our hope has dissolved
Sanity frayed
And ruined everything

Vaccine For Stupidity
04:19
|
|||
|
There's a plague infecting all the nations
Rotting minds all around the planet
It isn't caused by virus or bacteria
But it's multiplying faster than a rabbit
When will they make a vaccine for stupidity
If they do, how will we make them take it
The ones who need it most would never receive it
This pinhead pandemic will go on and on and on
What we need is a vaccine for stupidity
It might not succeed but it's worth a shot
People believe everything they read on Facebook
Neo neanderthal population's growing by a lot
When will they make a vaccine for stupidity
If they do, how will we make them take it
The ones who need it most would never receive it
This pinhead pandemic will go on and on and on
They work backwards from the latest conspiracy
Their earth keeps getting flatter by the day
Hating people who are different is standard practice
Small minds growing ever smaller, so I say
When will they make a vaccine for stupidity
If they do, how will we make them take it
The ones who need it most would never receive it
This pinhead pandemic will go on and on and on

Old Man's War
03:54
|
|||
|
They send us off to foreign lands
With a weapon in our hands
Sent to fight and kill and die
Based on money, power, and lies
They risk our lives to prove their point
Innocent yet they exploit
Never would they wield the gun
They just proxy our daughters and sons
Let's make them fight
The old man's war
We bleed for their battles
No more, no more
It just ain't right
The old man's war
Dying for their disaster
No more, no more
The old men clamor for the conflict
Keeps them powerful, keeps them rich
Defense contractors supply the toys
And don't care who they destroy
It's time for old rich men to enlist
Put rifles in their trembling fists
Let them die instead of us
Drag them from their mansions, throw them on the bus
Let's make them fight
The old man's war
We bleed for their battles
No more, no more
It just ain't right
The old man's war
Dying for their disaster
No more, no more
We'll see if they still talk so mean
When it's them drinking from canteens
And when they face bombs and grenades
They'll know the horror of what they've made
We'll see if they still talk so mean
When it's them drinking from canteens
And when they face bombs and grenades
They'll know the horror of what they've made
Let's make them fight
The old man's war
We bleed for their battles
No more, no more
It just ain't right
The old man's war
Dying for their disaster
No more, no more

Thoughts and Prayers
03:13
|
|||
|
Massacre headlines again
Met with total apathy
Leaving the children
Either terrified or dead
But we've got the answer
Forsaking all sacrifice
Heads bowed theatrically
The show must go on
Who needs real change
When we've got thoughts and prayers
The lord above
Has shown us he really cares
He's smiling down
On all our gleaming guns
We think and pray
That you know how to run
Make the sign of the cross
With the spray from an AR-15
Lord bless the bullets
Make holy the triggers we pull
Dead white men gave us the right
Our muskets and militias are fully automatic
We think and pray and then forget it
Rinse, repeat, over and over again
Who needs real change
When we've got thoughts and prayers
The lord above
Has shown us he really cares
He's smiling down
On all our gleaming guns
We think and pray
That you know how to run
Getting down on our knees
We're thinking, begging Jesus please
Take the Smith and Wessons from our hands
Cause we can't help but shoot a crowd again
Who needs real change
When we've got thoughts and prayers
The lord above
Has shown us he really cares
He's smiling down
On all our gleaming guns
We think and pray
That you know how to run
Who needs real change
When we've got thoughts and prayers
The lord above
Has shown us he really cares
He's smiling down
On all our gleaming guns
We think and pray
That you know how to run

Fun Dumb Mentalism
05:29
|
|||
|
There's a scourge on this nation
We can't seem to shake
And the rights that they bent
They were destined to break
Nominated, now they're hated,
Cause the Bible they swore on
Was upheld above the laws,
And they took us for morons
They wear black robes like the reaper
And its very apropos
Killing women and democracy,
What's next who really knows
They're well funded and their mental state's
In serious question
Fundamentalism drives them
In this backwards direction
They shame and they blame
It's not accidental
Never fun, always dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
Say amen
The hate they display
It ain't incidental
No fun, extremely dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
In the God of ancient times
they put all of their trust
I guess they never learned the lesson that
In gods we bust
They got that old time religion
And they just couldn't wait
To tear down the separation
Of the church and the state
Fascism is coming
Now to every womb
Intrauterine police state
And for women that spells doom
And soon they'll legislate
Where you can and cannot stick it
Fun-demented fundamentalists,
vile and insipid.
They shame and they blame
It's not accidental
Never fun, always dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
Say amen
The hate they display
It ain't incidental
No fun, extremely dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
Now hang their heads
Way down low
They crashed the party
And now they've gotta go
Now hang their heads
Way down low
They crashed the party
And now they've gotta go
They shame and they blame
It's not accidental
Never fun, always dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
Say amen
The hate they display
It ain't incidental
No fun, extremely dumb
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism
They got fundamentalism

Hey big shot business man
Did you ever close that deal
I bet you think that you are
Something special
Hey politician
Did you win your re-election
You must be riding pretty high
But take a look into the
Crater
That's all that's left of us
Is just a
Crater
No you, no me, no we,
Just a
Crater
A scar of what once was
There's just this
Crater
Galactic eye blinks and we are gone
Hey perfect family
Living your storybook lives
I bet you think that this will
Last forever
Hey flawless beauty
Thin and flaunting all your fashions
They say your good looks can't be marred
But take a look into the
Crater
That's all that's left of us
Is just a
Crater
No you, no me, no we,
Just a
Crater
A scar of what once was
There's just this
Crater
Galactic eye blinks and we are gone
There is an asteroid out there with your name on it
Currently it's floating weightless in the universe
One day we'll find that there's nothing but a crater where
We used to be but it's gone never to return again
Crater
That's all that's left of us
Is just a
Crater
No you, no me, no we,
Just a
Crater
A scar of what once was
There's just this
Crater
Galactic eye blinks and we are gone

The Narcissist

Perfect body and a perfect life
Got a perfect job, a perfect husband or wife
Click my pic and look at me some more
I'm a flawless object and I must be adored
Give me your heart and do it again
Continuous perfection with no obvious end
I'm leaving to imagination less and less
Join my private server if you want to see the rest
I am gorgeous and beautiful
Pure perfection, just look at me
Without flaw, I'm what you wish you could be
Follow my feed, I'm sure you'll agree
I was immaculate from the day I was born
I alone am your fantasy, alone am your porn
You can't escape me, I am your lone desire
I'm everywhere and your lust for me will never expire
I am your deity and I am your devil
My personalities are great, yeah, I've got several
Everything I do is noteworthy and incredible
You can't forget me cause I'm so unforgettable
I am gorgeous and beautiful
Pure perfection, just look at me
Without flaw, I'm what you wish you could be
Follow my feed, I'm sure you'll agree
Buy my poster and hang it on your wall
Watch all my videos and download them all
Obsessed with your obsession, my fix is your fixation
I just need you to need me to get my validation.
My world will crumble if I'm not center of your universe.
Who cares if it's illusion, I am increasingly truth averse.
I am gorgeous and beautiful
Pure perfection, just look at me
Without flaw, I'm what you wish you could be
Follow my feed, I'm sure you'll agree
I am gorgeous and beautiful
Pure perfection, just look at me
Without flaw, I'm what you wish you could be
Follow my feed, I'm sure you'll agree

Hello Mister Radio

Hello Mister Radio
Fancy meeting you here
You're getting old and dusty
And your signal's not so clear
Can't believe you're still playing the same old songs
That you played before
Contractually obligated popular pablum
Has become quite the bore
They still put you in our vehicles
Still play you in the waiting room
But as the months and years fly past
We hunger for something new
Hello Mister Radio
Where are you today
Web based dreams and digital streams
Are taking you away
Hello Mister Radio
You were playing in the car
I don't know where we're headed
But it can't be very far
The road is steep and winding
And right around the bend
Your signal quickly fading out
And soon we'll reach the end
I won't forget the times we've had
And everything you've shown
The soundtrack of a lifetime
Will never be outgrown
Hello Mister Radio
Where are you today
Web based dreams and digital streams
Are taking you away
Hello Mister Radio
Where are you today
Web based dreams and digital streams
Are taking you away
Farewell Mister Radio
And thanks for the good times
When you would play that rock n roll
It always blew our minds

Sermon on the Dismount
04:37
|
|||
|
Blessed are the peacemakers
I still haven't found 'em
Even checked the tapes
But they were blank when I rewound them
In this vile domicile
Suicidal, no reprisal
The world is just a wasteland
Little hope for a revival
Still they smile, but we know
They are empty inside
Just a funeral procession
For a planet that died
This is music for an exit
Curtain calling my name
One last time behind my pulpit
Till it all goes up in flames
Listen closely,
Cause I've got a word for the earth
I've been rejected
Discarded till now from my birth
This planet has no future
Now I really think I want out
I'll leave you squirmin'
It's my sermon on the dismount
Don't do unto others
What they've done unto me
Super toxic catastrophic
Throw them in the lava sea
Let em burn, vaporize
Nothing left but the ash
If they were the car
They could call me the crash
Or the flames from the rocket
I'll ride into the sky
Gotta find another planet
And leave this one to die
Already halfway there
Full of diseases and wars
And selfish suck cesspools
That I've come to abhor
Listen closely,
Cause I've got a word for the earth
I've been rejected
Discarded till now from my birth
This planet has no future
Now I really think I want out
I'll leave you squirmin'
It's my sermon on the dismount
Woe to the liars
And woe to the fake
Woe to the capitalists
Who slither like snakes
Woe to the ignorant
And woe to the self-righteous
Woe to conservatives
The cause of our crisis
Woe to the heartless
And woe to the callous
Woe to those with hearts
Full of pride and malice
Woe to the selfish
And woe to the greedy
Woe to those with wealth
Hoarded from the poor and needy
Fuck you all
Listen closely,
Cause I've got a word for the earth
I've been rejected
Discarded till now from my birth
This planet has no future
Now I really think I want out
I'll leave you squirmin'
It's my sermon on the dismount
Listen closely,
Cause I've got a word for the earth
I've been rejected
Discarded till now from my birth
This planet has no future
Now I really think I want out
I'll leave you squirmin
It's my sermon on the dismount

Breach of Insecurity
05:08
|
|||
|
Driving fast through the infinity trees
Without a compass, can't be a promise
With hope in your heart and trust in your backbone
Will this be the grail or another black boulder
Don't wish for sparkles, wish for a spark
That's burns it all in the end
With wings of wax you're far from the angel
The cash that you saved only pays for your grave
Going down and I
Start to drown in this
Breach of my insecurity
Reckless spiraling
Damn their smiles, a
Breach of my insecurity
A broken thread that I cling to violently
Slim, faint hope watch it vanishing silently
Levee's crack, waves of truth crashing in
No escaping the toxin of this medicine
Watching the trees as they all pass me by
A wildfire burns in a daydream
Rooted in sand as the seconds advance
A child laughs and cries all the same
It's fading away
What else can you say
It all was in vain
Darkness hides the stain
Stashed it all in a hollow stone
Garbed full and invisible
Broken the only rule
There's no jury left to hang
It's still calling
Hellhounds howling
Mind can't fathom
Bombs like atoms
Sliced and severed
Feeling never
Expands and contracts
This attack
Breach of insecurity
Total destruction, beast and famine
Breach of insecurity
Running red, load the cannon

Existence Is Futile
06:08
|
|||
|
I sit here in this little room
Staring at these walls
I sit here in my living tomb
Doomed to this fall
Where'd it all go wrong, this broken song,
Reflects what I've become
The more I gave, digging this grave,
It all just leaves me numb
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
Fallen so hard the blood's on the floor
I feel like this world, and that is crucial
I'm finding out existence is futile
I sit within my lonely mind, searching to find
Enough reasons to persevere
But I'm beaten raw, exposed these flaws
And my ambition disappears
Apathy all that's left, hidden in this mess
I've deadened every last nerve
It all feels so fake, looking for every escape
Maybe it is deserved
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
Fallen so hard the blood's on the floor
I feel like this world, and that is crucial
I'm finding out existence is futile
It is so easy to forget just who you are when you're
Not shiny new and sparkling you'll smolder and then you're
Just like a candle on a cake you get blown out and it's
Somebody's birthday but you didn't get invited so you
Just stay at home and imagine being there with a
Full book of matches and a can of gasoline and so it
Burns very brightly you can almost hear the screams over the
Wail of the sirens and the smoke smells like a campfire and you're
Still nothing, still no one
Still a dying bag of flesh and bone
Still nothing, still no one
Still a future corpse of this world
Still nothing, still no one
Still a dying bag of flesh and bone
Still nothing, still no one
Still a future corpse of this world

Irreversible Damage
04:47
|
|||
|
They didn't think I'd ever figure it out
They didn't think I'd smell it on their breath
The acrid fumes of lies and deception
Sulphuric vapor of betrayal and duplicity
They never truly believed in this I know
Never believed in anything
Wouldn't be the first knife in my back
Safe to say it won't be the last
This is irreversible damage
These sins cannot be pardoned
I'll be wearing these scars
To eternity
This is irreversible damage
The lies can never be untold
Now this rage consumes within
Until the end of me
I don't forgive and I never forget
Each new betrayal builds a tower of treachery
And reliance is the cardinal mistake
Yet I keep going back to the well
I let them have my back, I know
To stab over and over and again
I feel like I could throw this all away
My creation and my self up in flames
This is irreversible damage
These sins cannot be pardoned
I'll be wearing these scars
To eternity
This is irreversible damage
The lies can never be untold
Now this rage consumes within
Until the end of me
Keep them all fooled and fed with bullshit
Factory of fakeness churning day and night
The lies erode the goodwill of creation
One by one they all fall prey
This is irreversible damage
These sins cannot be pardoned
I'll be wearing these scars
To eternity
This is irreversible damage
The lies can never be untold
Now this rage consumes within
Until the end of me
This is irreversible damage
These sins cannot be pardoned
I'll be wearing these scars
To eternity
This is irreversible damage
The lies can never be untold
Now this rage consumes within
Until the end of me

Disfigured Beauty
04:43
|
|||
|
This world is hard and cold and
They want to see you fall
The masses buy their tickets
To see the failure of the week
They make their popcorn and gather
Around the neon screen
As soon as there's blood in the water
Feeding frenzy begins again
I wanted there to be a heart
Beneath the rotting flesh
I keep hoping there's a smile
Around it's twisted decaying teeth
I've been trying to believe
There's something more than I can see
I'm still searching to see more
Than disfigured beauty
We know deep down it's wrong
But we can't stop the depravity
Conditioned to exploit
We just wanna see the sideshow
We're all bearded ladies
All of us are siamese freaks
The world is our Odditorium
Are we the audience or the attraction
I wanted there to be a heart
Beneath the rotting flesh
I keep hoping there's a smile
Around it's twisted decaying teeth
I've been trying to believe
There's something more than I can see
I'm still searching to see more
Than disfigured beauty
This world is an ugly place
We are its hideous face
We are the mangled wreckage of our ignorance
The casualty of our intolerant minds
We've been deformed by disinformation
Unfounded hatred has left us horrid
Bearing the scars of a life of lies
Nasty necrosis of this tainted toxicity
I wanted there to be a heart
Beneath the rotting flesh
I keep hoping there's a smile
Around it's twisted decaying teeth
I've been trying to believe
There's something more than I can see
I'm still searching to see more
Than disfigured beauty

Never Forget
07:06
|
|||
|
Few things are sadder in this world
Than someone thinking they're the center of it all
They have forgotten who they are
Another piece of excrement in the toilet bowl of life
Keep your head down, hide that shame
Don't let your ego grow - it only leads to pain
If you don't get high, you will never fall back down
Sit back and watch the fools, crashing down around you
Never forget
That you are nothing more than shit
Because those who do
Resemble most a backside split
If you go up
There's no where left to go but down
When you're their star
Someday soon you'll be nothing but their clown
If you are riding high today
You'll soon be knocked off, and trampled in the dirt
It can be tempting to believe
That you have got significance or worth
Don't you give in, don't be deceived
There's no royalty in this garbage kingdom
The ones that think they're huge and mighty
Just have the biggest targets on their backs
Never forget
That you are nothing more than shit
Because those who do
Resemble most a backside split
If you go up
There's no where left to go but down
When you're their star
Someday soon you'll be nothing but their clown
Don't waste your time, another day
Deep down you know that nothing's real
We're futureless, tomorrow's fucked
Protect your heart, protect your soul
Don't believe them when they tell you
You're something more than what you are
We are all shit, that much we know
You only matter to yourself
You only matter to yourself
You only matter to yourself
You only matter to yourself
You only matter to yourself

Into Smithereens
03:50
|
|||
|
Judgement falls on a guilty planet
Much was given, much was squandered away
Life entrusted to the smartest monkeys
We flung like shit and now it's time to pay
We find new ways to hate each other
And keep inventing ridiculous things to believe
We share diseases but hoard our resources
Full of rage it makes me want to scream
Blow it up
It's all over now
Blow it up
Time to take a final bow
Blow it up
It really doesn't matter how
Blow it up
Into smithereens
We turned hard right down a dead end street
Nothing that way but a goddamned cul-de-sac
Going in circles into deeper depravity
And it seems like there is no coming back
Revanchism is the deadliest cancer
Metastasizing and leaves no chance to survive
The bad old days are never coming back
The ones selling it pump you full of lies
Blow it up
It's all over now
Blow it up
Time to take a final bow
Blow it up
It really doesn't matter how
Blow it up
Into smithereens
No longer a point to this charade
There is a debt that must be paid
Humanity has lost its grip
This is the fall after the slip
Might as well blow it all up big
There is no blood left in the pig
We've made this failure, this disgrace
Nothing but shame on the human race
Blow it up
It's all over now
Blow it up
Time to take a final bow
Blow it up
It really doesn't matter how
Blow it up
Into smithereens
Blow it up
It's all over now
Blow it up
Time to take a final bow
Blow it up
It really doesn't matter how
Blow it up
Into smithereens
Blow it up
It's all over now
Blow it up
Time to take a final bow
Blow it up
It really doesn't matter how
Blow it up
Into smithereens
Into smithereens
Into smithereens
