CENTURY LYRICS

1. Lobotomy

Now watch your life come apart for someone else's entertainment.
Shoot everyone in your office building.
Drown your kids in the bathtub.
Burn your home to the ground.
Leave it behind. Leave it behind.
I was a baby-boomer's kid so you can all go fuck yourselves.
I saw three failed wars sponsored by corporate contracts,
So I'm not gonna shed a tear when this bitch falls.
Sacrifice yourself for a fucking idea and die for nothing.
Fly a plane into a building.
Now you've become your god and now you're gonna pay.
We're funding both sides of a war we can't win.
You wanna do something fiscally responsible?
Just kill yourself.

Welcome to Hell.
I'm counting down from ten with a knife in my head,
Like Rosemary Kennedy trying to recite the pledge.

Do you think this is fucking funny?
Do you even comprehend this bullshit?
Fuck you mother fucker
I will rip your head off
And fuck whats left of your esophagus
I wanna stab your eyes out
Eat shit you fucking bastard

Whoa Mike, calm the fuck down.
You don't have to yell and curse so much.
What are you so angry about?
You act like they've abandoned and sold you out.

Complacence and rapists and homophobes and war-mongers
And white supremacists and lobbyists and xenophobes and hypocrites
And every single seat in the U.S. House of Reps: Fuck you.

Walk through my spit, through your war-path.

2. Synapse

I was the brains behind this process.
The questions disappear and the logic is offset.
And how the fuck can you buy your own thoughts,
When they're sold to you by every bad idea you've fought?

And it won't always be this way.
By the time it goes to shit we'll be at heaven's gates.
But for now we indulge, for now we're ok.
While we ignore the consequence that our children have to pay.

Just make sure we stay terrified.
We need to sate our fucking fear and it's feeding time.
The homeland security system just went apeshit,
But I can't recall the code so I'll hide in my basement.

And it won't always be this way.
By the time it goes to shit we'll be at heaven's gates.

Everything we've ever discovered, everything we've accomplished,
Every disease we've cured, every family we've torn apart,
Every life we've created, every god we've ever feared,
Every phallic monument constructed: it's just a fraction of a millisecond.

In time the sun will expand and heat the earth until the oceans turn to barren land.
The sky will be red when our god is near,
And we'll burn the fuck away like we were never here.

And it will never again be this way.
And now we find ourselves standing in front of hell's gates.
But for now we indulge, for now we're ok.
While we ignore the consequence that our children have to pay.
Our children will pay.

3. Oak God

Commence your cryostate self-preservation,
While I waste away in the landfill you've claimed before my home.
I would blow out my brians, I would choke my own heart,
To clean your soaking dust from the soles of my boots.
And speaking of souls, how much is left of your spiritual side, you ungrateful fucks?
I know you'll be dead long before I'm gone,
But I'll spit on your grave with every single song.

You better do it if it pays the rent, dick.
Cause you don't even know what you consider sacred anymore.
We're called to duty by our weapons contracts,
And front the bills to be locked up in a jail cell.

In two hundred years they'll thaw me out,
Pack me up and ship me off so I can fight their war.
I'll catch a bullet in the neck and return to the states,
But not before they confiscate my fucking shoes at the airport.

From the wolves all seated adjacent.
Lights out.
Lights out, motherfucker.
Can you see me? I'm coming.
Lock your fucking doors cause I'm bringing hell.

I finally found the sun tonight,
But she died long before we burned away the sky.
And years will pass us by, our truth becomes our lie.
We were so wrong to believe at all.
But now we know.
She'll find her way back to the light.
Find her way back to the light, and quietly begin again.
She'll sing her song again.
And years will pass us by, our truth becomes our lie.
We were so wrong to believe at all.

I got one more for you,
Clean up that fucking mess that you made in the gulf.
You think I'm buying this shit for nothing?
I need to poison myself in that ocean.
We got a price on our heads, so thank god for the deficit.

4. My Lexicon

Your delusion is deafening so our whispers will go unheard.
You've lived in my head for what seems like years.
Sleep soundly.
Sleep soundly while the house burns down around you.

All of your secrets are pieced together from fragments of something better.
You've lived in my head for what seems like fucking years.
Open your eyes.
You think you've made a dent.
I'm just embarrassed for you.
You've become a parody of yourself.
You've become what you think you hate.
Where is the one that I looked up to?

You have nothing profound to express,
You have nothing to offer me.
No original thoughts,
Nothing to say worth hearing.
Stop trying so fucking hard and just embrace it.

5. Dry Bride

Surrounded by animals, you are the wolves outside.
I'm wasted, I'm leaving tracks, I know what you want.
You're too hot to be served alive,
But you can take me off everyone's hands for a little while.
I've been punishing everytone that I love just by fucking sanding there.
Don't you know what it's like to be a phantom to everyone that you'd rather see make it out?

I'll get mine, no matter what, you'll die by only my side.
We'll ge there, just trust me, I want to feel your insides.
Yeah you think you're smart just cause you clawed your way out to the yard.
But goddamn it, didn't you know there are miles between you and the life,
That could have been so much etter without them watching your every move?

This is love, you clean up your mess.

I see them, the deities, I'm fucking desperate out here.
I smell them, the families, I'll bring you all to hell.
I wait and I find so many others to die through.

6. Painting Leprosy

If death dances with broomsticks,
I'll sweep the floor until I fix the disease that haunts the halls of my high school.
Dumb brunette broomsticks.
Bite the dust and get their nails did with the blood of animals.

Didn't you hear the wind?
She told the dogs to hide from the smog clouds painting the leprosy sky.
Oh, I know we're dirty.
We're putting superheroes on the backs of currency.
I know that something's wrong.

And if greed swings from stripper poles,
We'll fight the war with the bones of marilyn monroe and anna nicole.
And with their femurs we'll carve the swords that break the mirrors of little girls,
Cause beauty's made with an airbrush.
Beauty's made with an airbrush.

Didn't you hear the wind?
She told the dogs to hide from the smog clouds painting the leprosy sky.
Oh, I know we're dirty.
We're putting superheroes on the backs of currency.
I know that something's wrong.

7. In Hell

We are the martyrs. We die for murderers.
We've been waiting for years for the hand of god.
Mercenaries travel in groups on the back of truck beds and pick our women at will,
And put the gun to their heads like they're just theirs for the taking.
While your sick god is too busy keeping the free market alive.
How could you ever make me bring a child in this world?
Just two searching eyes that just stare at me for answers.
But like a nation himself, he's divided in two by his own hopelessness and delusion.

You've been watching us swim in a sea of broken glass.
Yeah you've been watching us swim and we've got diamonds in our nails.
And no one knows it's me on the screen.
No one knows it's me at all.

Why couldn't I have just fucking died?
There's no room in hell for any of the shit you believe.

So just stare out into the west into the land of the bastards.
I don't think that you have enough money to keep yourselves at bay,
Even though somehow it seems you've collected it all.

You've been watching us swim in a sea of broken glass.
Yeah you've beeen watching us swim and we've got diamonds in our nails.
And no one knows it's me on the screen.
No one knows it's me at all.

8. Threats

You've been staring at me for my whole fucking life,
Muttering the same indifferent cliches about how we're just gonna get by.
Redirecting obsessions to the very thing that could have at least been considered formative,
In an endless dicussion that has compelled me to stare,
Longingly, at the front of a moving train car.
Entropy's open desire to end us, nothing of mine will I defend.
They're just standard ambitions, so you can take them from me.

And let them chew one antoher to death while I just waste away.
No chance to ever go back.

I look back in amazement.
We've got the same face, we've got the same voice,
And I can finally admit that I will be the very thing that takes you from this earth.
Helpless and alone,
Finally shut you up with just one turn of the wheel.
You know goddamn well I'm done.

And let them chew one antoher to death while I just waste away.

We've put good hours into alienating ouselves from one another,
So don't act like this is just purely the convergence of ideals that don't operate well together.
I want you to hurt for all the time that you wasted,
And I'm not fucking kidding, I'm not playing hurt dong.
I've forgiven enough mother fuckers in my life,
And I'm not ready to look back in myself as a vessel for shit habits.
Don't you fucking look at me.

9. Obelisk

So undeserving.
You've wasted it all.
You should have never had the chance.
Steady handed and desperate.
So undeserving.

Leave me behind.
And I had so much hope but now we've sealed our fate.
This is the end.
So just give up on yourself and become what you think you hate.

Remove your heart, erase your mind.
Consume yourself, become nothing.

We can see you from where you stand, and you do not look strong.
We've worked so hard to dismantle the heart of all your work.

And they all die the same but I'm still the man I never wanted to be.
I used to be the hand of god.

Leave me behind.
And I had so much hope but now we've sealed our fate.
This is the end.
So just give up on yourself and become what you think you hate.

Leave me behind.
And once we've shed our skin and forgotten our names.
This is the end.
Only then will we see we're all exctly the fucking same.

Remove your heart, erase your mind.
Consume yourself, become nothing.

10. Iconoclast

Your skull on a network broadcast.
Sweaty palms holding a bloody hall pass.
Show their faces so they keep on watching.
If silence shows up then just talk though it.
Endless echoes in a big old hallway we rot in.
We report and you die.
We even let you speak for us, you worthless piece fo shit.
Just shut up. Shut up. Just shut the fuck up.
You don't even know what you're saying.

I can't think while I'm staring at the screen.

Our lifeless trophy, fixated and unaware.
Blinded with pride, becoming the enemy.
While the amputee salutes and the lynch mob ties their noose.
We can't help but drown before the ship even starts to sink.

I can't think while I"m staring at the screen.

The days turn to weeks, maybe we'll find a way.
And I'm not getting sleep.
I'm not fucking sleeping.
I've ground down my teeth till they're dust.
But you need me, I'm telling you this.
We'll burn down our house together. Together.
We're fucked.
Every man for himself.
Our currency is ignorance.
And we've been doing just fine.
We'll keep rewarding ourselves for economic genocide.

I can't think while I'm staring at the screen.

The days turn to weeks.
Maybe we'll find a way.
