1. (deeperthanbefore)

[Instrumental]

2. Swallowing The Rabbit Whole

(Nowhere to run
Only one way down
Nowhere to go)

Thinners of the herd

It's even deeper than before
The hole has swallowed us
The prey are in control
I've seen the other side it's darker than it was
It stretches what I love until it falls apart
In the minutia and the nuance there's a cloud heavy above
Watching it inch closer - the blackest beam to take me up
I can see it couldn't touch it even from the highest rung
In this cell we call a full life - is it here I'm finally stuck

With the soldiers and all the suffering
All good men - but the smothering of what's undone
Runs
Like
Blood
A synesthesia filled needle pokes through the skin
How can I be so certain
That this was more than the sum of our urges

Down We Go

It felt so good to analyze and correct
But you never really know until the foot's on your neck
Where will I be when I've aged and I can't connect
With these little rat fuck kids and the pigs who sign the checks
When buzzing noise rots your ears and the breaths clog your chest
Or better yet what are you gonna do
When it comes your turn to pay time's debt

Like birds of prey spitting out the bone
Like watching my dreams come and go
You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole

You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole

You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole

3. In Fear

So now the writing is on the wall
But what's exposed won't be enough
And the thought is just too much
Of the digital knife's edge that cuts us all
Of stripping bare begging to crawl
Pleasure purposed targeted sold

In
Fear
Of a
Of a life in the box

You'd do anything at all
Saunter into the bedroom
Suck down into the floor
Will what you've done live and breathe
Long after you're gone?
I'd do anything at all

Just to cut the legs off
A man swallows his son
The son meets his boogeyman
You thought it was done
You've got it all wrong

In
Fear
Of a
Of a life in the box

In
Fear
Of no
End

You thought it was done
You've got it all wrong
You're gone

In
Fear
Of no
End

4. You And You Alone

You do well under control
You play your part, you know your role
You do best when you're controlled
Now it's on you and you alone

I love the way
You choose to forget our history
It's feeding me
Grooming me for what I need to be
The enemy
Shut your fucking mouth
Commiserate
In memory of self respect, of inner peace

You do well under control
You play your part, you know your role
You do best when you're controlled
Now it's on you and you alone

It's killing me
Every line that you scribble on the page
In trying to be
An amalgamation of everything you've seen
You want to be
Everybody's friend, that makes you weak
You go with flow
You're so in on the joke
So in the know

What you showed me
What you told me
With welled up eyes
What you showed me
It's all ammo
In your demise

Now it's on
On you and on you alone
Now it's on
On you and on you alone
Now it's on
On you and on you alone
Now it's on
On you and on you alone

You do well under control
You play your part, you know your role
You do best when you're controlled
Now it's on you and you alone

5. Who I Am

A broken recluse on the inside
Obsession is just the escape
You're beautiful on the inside
I'm filled with prismatic shame

My house of worship the blue light
So much simpler through the screen
Chromosome two X's and whY
It's not always what it seems?

You're so perfect from the outside
I stalked and studied away
You're marigold and I'm fluoride
At least that's what I'll portray

I wanna show you who I am

I wanna show you who I am
Swear you won't put me away
You'll be the best part of my plan
Swear you won't put me down

He knew she'd wipe the filth of life
But perception is a dangerous game
"The best of me September 12th"
He took that bet to his grave

I wanna show you who I am
Swear you won't put me away
You'll be the best part of my plan
Swear you won't put me down

Lock me up
Lock me up

Lock me up and throw away the key
I'll always find a way to prove
I'm not the enemy

Lock me up
(I wanna show you who I am)
Lock me up
(I wanna show you who I am)
Lock me up
(I wanna show you who I am)
Lock me up
(I wanna show you who I am)
Lock me up

6. Cold.Metal.Place

The rain and the thunder
It's dragging me under
But the hammer of judgement
Is crushing you

Into the cold.metal.place
Without a sound without a trace
An echo sound the fall from grace
Reflective glass and a butchered face

It's all gone and you'll try not to show it
The whole world is laughing but you don't even know it
Whispering souls they placate the herd
This fire burns down our 3D world

The rain and the thunder
It's dragging me under
But the hammer of judgement
Is crushing you

The rain and the thunder
It's dragging me under
But the hammer of judgement
Is crushing you

Into the cold.metal.place
Into the cold.metal.place

It's dragging me under
It's dragging me under
Into the cold.metal.place

It's dragging me under
It's dragging me under
But it's crushing you

7. Sulfur Surrounding

Let's take a good look at you

You wanna see it through my eyes
So I'm coming through
But I've never seen a ground so hollow
Haunted by a chemical compulsion
When I know that there are options
I wanna see it through God's eye
But hate brews in me so easy

I know you want it
You glued to me so easy
Sulfur surrounding
It puts you away

I had to see it through your eyes
So I'm coming back
To corrode the chords
That communicate the feeling
You wanna see it through my eyes
But your body is blue
It shouldn't be so easy

I know you want it
You glued to me so easy
Sulfur surrounding
It drags you through hell

You wanna see it through God's eye
So I'm coming
You wanna see it through God's eye
So I'm coming

Take me over
Take me over
Take me
Take me

I know you want it
You glued to me so
I know you want it
You glued to me so easy
But now you've got it
It proved to be so easy
Sulfur surrounding
Surrounding
Surrounding me

Sulfur surrounding
It puts you away

There's nowhere to run

8. The Easy Way

Deep down the most desired road
They see a golden son
You're not the only one
Dig out the soul but they see it the same
The quicker digestion
The easier way

Don't wanna know who you really are
Don't wanna know what you want, what you're begging for
The pheromones eating through your blood
Break down, break down
Break

Imitation of an imitation
Your reflection is just an animation of
Rite of passage forgotten now just labeled insane
But the door has been kicked open and they'll sloth through the frame
Open your eyes two needles wide
In the double speed age the truth is easy to hide
Just along for the broken ride
They've bought it, absorbed it, it's inside their DNA

Don't wanna know who you really are
Don't wanna know what you want, what you're begging for
The pheromones eating through your blood
Break down, break down

Don't wanna know who you really are
Don't wanna know what you want, what you're begging for
The pheromones eating through your blood
Break down, break down
Break

An imitation of my imagination
Of grinding through the dentin
A broken record in the basement
The old toy you used to play with

You lied
I've tried
To forgive
But it wants both of us now

Don't wanna know who you really are
Don't wanna know what you want, what you're begging for
The pheromones eating through your blood
Break down, break down

Don't wanna know who you really are
Break down, break down
Break

9. Erasure Scan

Caught staring at nothing at all
Rubrics brain born without a stain
But since then it's grown far more deranged
The tabula rasa has been harmed
Forgotten in the crowded technovision
Starved for some human recognition
Now I'm searching for something in these halls
The revenge of the nobody
Scattered.shamed.unorganized.decayed

Caught staring at nothing at all
Caught staring at nothing at all
Caught staring at nothing at all

Erasure scan it's all for naught
Erasure scan they all forgot

Look at me
I'm the fucking price that you pay for your comedy
I'm the swollen face that you shamed
So as you run away
Know that you were played by the puppets' sycophantic games
Know this wasn't easy for me

Erasure scan it's all for naught
Erasure scan they all forgot

I'd marinate in the pain
Pushing away parasitic hate
But the aquatic worm - it wants me drowning

Erasure scan it's all for naught
Erasure scan they all forgot

Three.brains.in.chains

The voice of remorse has been begging me to listen
But my soul is sold to triunal rigidity
The voice of the children asking god's ear for forgiveness
But that worm buried deep inside my head
I think it's talking to me

I think it's calling to me

(Erasure scan)
(Erasure scan)

10. Last Ones Left

Last ones left
Are they too stupid to see?
Last ones left
What we are destined to be

Spit in their face and they'll react with a smile
Pick at the details and you'll find ripe denial
Fake kindness boot licking spreads like the plague
Just for a place at the emperor's feet
Is this what you lab rats wanted?
A bunch of nice guys playing friends to get paid
A bunch of cover acts rolling around on the floor
The heroes of old rolling deep in their graves

Last ones left
Are they too stupid to see?
Last ones left
What we are destined to be

It's the difference between reality
And parody slipping away
"Well the success is good for all of us"
They try to explain
So let's get it straight:

You are a clone a spy
A moment in time
A petulant child
A pitiful effigy of what we would never be
Less than nothing to me

Last ones left
Are they too stupid to see?
Last ones left
What we are destined to be

Last ones left
Are they too stupid to see?
Last ones left
What we are destined to be

You drain the life out of all that's pure
When you don't ignore
Desperate bribes for acceptance through guarantees
I am the last one left
The answer flows through me
You gave them life
But they can't pay for
All that we are:
The last ones

The last ones

11. Autumn And Carbine

A pile of shells and a pile of leaves
In my dreams green man looks like me
And failure falls just like autumn trees
My concrete comfort mezzanine

The smell of autumn and carbine
You'll never clean it up
I wanna let 'em all down
A letter goes out to your side
Something to mix it up
I wanna let 'em all down
The smell of autumn and carbine

They'll crack a window and let you feel the breeze
But was the juice ever really worth the squeeze?
It all looked so loud now we don't hear a peep
A distant rainbow reverie

Now you're a pile of pills and a pile of leaves
Boss man's posthumous hit factory
He sleeps in silk sheets while you rest in peace
Culture's black eye like the girls you beat

The smell of autumn and carbine
You'll never clean it up
I wanna let 'em all down
A letter goes out to your side
Something to mix it up
I wanna let 'em all down
The smell of autumn and carbine

Draining slowly
Finally at peace
Draining slowly
Draining slowly
Draining slowly
Finally fading away

The smell of autumn and carbine
You'll never clean it up
I wanna let 'em all down
A letter goes out to your side
Something to mix it up
I wanna let 'em all down
The smell of autumn and carbine

You'll never clean it up
You'll never leave it
No matter what they say
You never mattered much anyway

12. Back Inside The Glass

A twisted knife
A porcelain reflection
Where sorrys die
And my mind's the murder weapon
I know I could control it
But it's so consuming once it's in
A maniac in bilocation
Stretched in two different directions

Now I'm back inside the glass
And I know that the pain is coming
Now I'm back inside the glass
The regret has slithered into me
Now I'm back inside the glass
And I know that the pain is coming
Now I'm back inside the glass
Now I'm back to what I used to be

A manic in denial
A speculum injection
A parasite
It swims through my intestines
Outward appearance can be deceptive
In the process of dividing, designing
(Open the door)

Now I'm back inside the glass
And I know that the pain is coming
Now I'm back inside the glass
The regret has slithered into me
Now I'm back inside the glass
And I know that the pain is coming
Now I'm back inside the glass
Now I'm back

When the thing I tried to kill
In this redesign of self lives

Now I'm back inside the glass
And I know that the pain is coming
Now I'm back inside the glass
The regret has slithered into me

Slithering into me
Becoming designing
Slithering into me

Open up and let it back inside
Open up and let it back inside
Open up and let it back inside
Open up and let it back

Now I've got (refracting)
What I need (shimmering)
It's in me (suffering)

13. A Sliver

That morning when I woke up it seemed the world had changed
A school of cannon fodder. A church of elder states
But transience sets in and the memories erased
The world had took a deep white breath and went about their days

It's hard to see anything when you can see everything
If I can't have what they have I'll never be free
It's hard to see anything when you can see everything
If I can't have what they have what even is me?

Completely unheard. As much as you may have felt adored
A well prepared performance for an audience of 3 or 4
The devotees, the anons and the corporate directorate
And you if you believe your bullshit

It's hard to see anything when you can see everything
If I can't have what they have I'll never be free
It's hard to see anything when you can see everything
If I can't have what they have what even is me?

I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Getting covered by the haze
Just a sliver growing thinner
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day

Completely unheard
Your voice your choice just a worm in the dirt
Completely unheard
Engineered at the seance of real human yearn
Nomophobia stretches the want to a need
Until you can't feel a thing and are begging to breathe
If I'm not what you want then I'll never be free
If I'm not what you are then what even is me?

I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Getting covered by the haze
Just a sliver growing thinner
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day

I'm a sliver I'm a sliver growing thinner
I'm a sliver I'm a sliver growing thinner

14. Underneath

Under the black and inside the blue
A bone thick spell has washed away
It took some time but I realized
The obstacle is the only way
Under the black and inside the blue
A bone thick spell has washed away
It took some time but I realized
The obstacle is the only way

(The guinea pigs of a generation)
An experiment to be improved on
(A story for them all to tell)
A history of forced intrusion

They pricked me but I didn't bleed
They singed me just to test the smell
They cut me but I didn't feel
I was just too deep in to fail

You think you know what you want
Until you're inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you're drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you're under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you're under the skin

(The guinea pigs of a generation)
But now I'm in the lion's den
(A story for them all to tell)
Now I am at the precipice

I'm the one that has to end this
I'm the one that has to win
Bred to self-induced entrapment
I'm the one who lacked the discipline

You think you know what you want
Until you're inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you're drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you're under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you're under the skin

You think you know what you want
Until you're inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you're drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you're under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you're under the skin

Underneath retread aesthetic
Underneath your fake respect
Underneath the sales and figures
Will you quit when they don't react?
Underneath the costume changes
Underneath the acceptance
Underneath the online presence
Underneath the influence

(Underneath duress)
(Under the skin)

(Under the wave you've been waiting for)
(There's a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you're drowning...)

You think you know what you want
Until you're inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you're drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you're under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you're under the skin

You think you know what you want
(Underneath retread aesthetic)
Until you're inside the nest
(Underneath your fake respect)
You got it all figured out
(Underneath the sales and figures)
Until you're drowning in it
(Will you quit when they don't react)
You think you know who you are
(Underneath the virtue signal)
Until you're under duress
(Underneath the thinnest skin)
You got it all figured out
(Underneath collective conscience)
Until you're under the skin
(Underneath the consequence)

(Under the wave you've been waiting for)
(There's a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you're drowning in it)

(Under the wave you've been waiting for)
(There's a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you're drowning in it)

15. The Cutter

[Japanese Bonus Track]

You're standing up in the silence, doesn't mean anything at all
I think they see it, I bet they're reaching
They're never gonna be a star
Try not to place it deep inside and keep denying what you want
They're made to see it, they fucking need it
Their only instinct's to feed

Your night, your choice, your voice
You're just a speck in the dust
And free your scream, you must
You're just a speck in the dust
Your night, your choice, your voice
You're just a speck in the dust
Be free and scream your truth
Until The Cutter comes out

You built your prisons in real time to keep denying what you want
You swore you made it, don't wanna believe it
But when it shows up it comes through the door
You put your hands on the floor
You're begging "give me some more"
You are gonna get everything that you asked for
And when he breaks down the door
Severs the brain from the skull
And then he gives you some more
You better believe what you're preaching at, that's all

Your night, your choice, your voice
You're just a speck in the dust
And free your scream, you must
You're just a speck in the dust
Your night, your choice, your voice
You're just a speck in the dust
Be free and scream your truth
Until The Cutter comes out

I hear he's coming to platform
It's not a privilege, it's a right
I keep on bleeding, I can't delete it
It's not a body out of sight

You keep on running from me
You keep on running from me
You keep on running from me
What you keep running for
You keep on running from me
You keep on running from me
You keep on running from me
You can' t keep running

Cutter's out to take us all
Put you back where you belong
Fuck you-
Let's take a good look at you

Turning off
