So Alone 02:31
Sentenced Outcast Ants, crushed by Love Onward, they march, feeling Nothing, but Enmity
2.
White walls Windowless Losing Our right to Justice Give us our Poison Then send us away My whole existence Is to better you My only purpose To forget the truth The blood has been shed Our hope is now dead The Smokestacks and the Noose You taught us to tie the knot That we are hanging in Now we are falling into a deeper sleep We are falling into Deeper sleep We are the machine
3.
Closed Casket (free) 02:45
Entry through the portal shards of glass through skin, mortal ending the endlessness torn between truth disrobes this vessel this hole phantom anchor, usurpation so far below my expectations extenuation, what killed it all where honesty dies, there love falls and deep down i knew i always fought it lies suppressing the truth you always bought it i never wanted to end this i never wanted i never wanted to end this i always fought it
4.
She pervades the air With a softened glow She saturates my existence With one hello Lens focused in Nothing to distract All becomes one Complete In this abstract She moves slowly Breathes Takes me so far away From everything I am I become nothing But then she turns to leave, She says it’s fate, she has to go And I reach for her dress As she runs out the door Oh, let go Say goodbye The last time I the hungry She the provider I the poor She the giver I the broken She the mender I the lonely She the comforter I the instigator She the parasite I the ship-wrecked She the great white I the weak She the virulent I the defeated She’s the victor in the end Oh, let go Say good bye The last time Why can’t I forget you?

Capacitance 05:17

Evenire (free) 04:38
Cannons pierce our ears As they tear through the ship We rested through the night Carried here by the wind Slowly sinking, I watch it all drift away As we We fall to The bottom Of the sea No one controls the sea The clashing of waves Our will, the tides do not obey And they brought us here today We knew this was bound to happen And we waited in suspense Trying to gain control But this event was always imminent Arise We wipe the sleep from our eyes Surprise So many men, We dwell in foolish pride In vain we think we can, In vain we try To calm the raging winds, Seize the crashing waves, Direct the ebb and flow, Control our certain fate Slowly sinking, I watch it all drift away As we We fall to The bottom Of the sea
7.
Melancholy (free) 03:57
this bane, sufferring torment agony and pain complicated by bliss and ecstacy creating my bittersweet memory all emotions are exposed the true colors are shown the entire spectrum of light on display in this dark night waves of all emotions against me kaleidoscopic tides of memories i'm stranded bittersweet lost at sea scratching at me from within black bile complex decision I feel too much I feel too much of everything and it overwhelms I don't know what to feel when you take me over You grab me from grab me from the inside seething, seeking in my veins someone, someone save me, save me
8.
Lethe 04:30
Another day, Another disguise Of charming demeanor, Past pretenses behind We all fell for your change in conscience Until the real you came bleeding through You bleach stains with your words Believing that your schemes No one will ever know But I dug deeper and discerned Your lies Yes, sirrah, I know Pull me down in the murk I lurk To find The truth and the salient reason Why Why I Let you lead me here I know you know everything I know you are so much better than me I know that you feel so right When you prey on the weak And lead me On another Long, winding trail To the waters of To the waters of Lethe Hardened hands push me down to the brink To drink, To forget, To repress this memory And I see the sweet water flow And you push me forward to Drown and drink… Tender hands Save me from drowning My sweet friend pulls me to shore Now, all I see All I know Is your Caring soul Now, all I see All I know Is your Caring soul
9.
The Age of Machines (free) 03:10
Behind that smile and those glimmering eyes, Behind the shining, white teeth Is a sword of malice, A sword of lies You marched right on in And pronounced us all dead Your charm could not mask The real you and your dark evil depths One by one March down the line Conveyor belt To our demise No movements No breathing Just metal casings with No feelings One by one Remove our brains Our greatest loss Is society’s gain And our hearts, Mere batteries Nothing more Could we ever dream to be We all are no longer human We are but machines You take, take, take, take, And break us With every word you speak Conformity is all we desire But it’s only a fragile toy When we refuse your lies, Your cords, Your batteries, We find true joy One by one March down the line Conveyor belt To our demise No movements No breathing Just metal casings with No feelings One by one Remove our brains Our greatest loss Is society’s gain And our hearts, Mere batteries Nothing more Could we ever dream to be You, I will never be I will never, even follow you blindly I cannot give in To your lies and deceit So ever present in The age of machines
10.
The Cycle 04:29
Again The cycle begins Again Initiated by ruins Again I have no sight of the end Again I give up, I give in With every battle, Every cycle, I lose more of my strength This time I truly have nothing left Every day a drain of My everything Everything in vain, Broken Glued together with pain Hold me steady After the fall And tell me What I know is false But it’s not over It’s not over I feel it pulling me back I fight I fail I fight I fail

Last Hope 02:02
12.
Resistor 03:54
13.
Silhouettes Dancing in my head Reaching out for me to join them Again I accede Captivated by their presence And their love for the dance All else fades away All else fades away Swaying figures All I see In this one, short moment All I fathom To be With dreams I rest At ease Black and paper thin Is all we could ever be A few seconds of pleasure Will suffice There is no eternity And when it’s over We’ll rest and start again Going through the motions Just to reach the end We’re all searching We’re all hurting We’re all yearning We’re all burning For something more than this For something more than this Forgetting all we seek We embrace our futility I am a silhouette I am dancing I am empty I am empty

With all our hopes And all our fears And all our joys And all our tears And all our dreams Our choices Our miseries How can we be Merely machine? Yet they say This is all we are We can’t be what we are They won’t allow it And we can’t disregard Their mass of weapons You and me, we can’t be You and me, we can’t be Waves of iron and steel Waves of smoke and cancer Enter our lungs As their Injection yields our infection We can’t all be the same But the disparate Are thrown away Because they won’t Do whatever you say We forget what we were When they tell us what we now shall be And now we tread In a sea of conformity Forced to feed the machine Their reason lives on Our hearts give in and die We all succumb to their will Emotion and I, our sacrifice A sacrifice in vain Such a shame We could’ve been so much more We weren’t mean for this Individuality is dead Sincerity has been hanged Nature lies slaughtered Our new world is man made We can’t be what we are They won’t allow it And we can’t disregard Their mass of weapons You and me, we can’t be You and me, we can’t be
