1. Abrupt Legacy
Beauty and fear as the sky opens up
Panic subsides as you're forced to accept
Take what you can when nothing remains
Shed all your tears, they're doing the same
Plan and decide that it's time to destroy us
Welcome the end out of spite for your pain
Eradicate, commiserate, annihilate
This fucking world is over!
As if face to face with a god
I never thought I'd see the day
Flames erasing everything that we've done
I never thought I'd get away
Justice on earth just in case nothing follows
May the creatures you tortured deny you of flesh
Oceans and tides will swallow your goals
Compassion for few, contempt for the rest
They should have listened but soon they will see
It's how this life ends that makes each of us the common dead
Searching for years, it's right in your face
Driven by questions, teased by your fate
The meaning of life turns out to be... nothing!
2. Death Of Nostalgia
Careless loss of dreams
Dreams that never breathe
Moments in which I obsess
You don't know the things I'm thinking
Glimpses of yesterday
Throw them all away
Distractions that hold me back
You don't know the things I'm thinking
You don't know the things I'm thinking
You haven't got the slightest clue of who I am
You “think”, now hold that thought, think again!
Jealous bitterness
Once whole, now emptiness
Always surrounding me
You don't know the things I'm thinking
Deaf, blind, and dumb they all are
Fill me with righteous moods
Tempted to obliterate
Save your praises for another day
Nothing was achieved today
Victory is overrated
Holding on to memories as they fade
Watch yourself, you're too nostalgic
You might lose your goddamn mind!
I should know... I should know...
You might lose your goddamn mind!
3. Chronic Solitude
Nothing. No one. No love. Ever.
I tried to communicate
Try to affiliate
No love equals hate
Even amongst rejects, I'm a fucking reject
Grab on to desires
I am an anomaly
Crippling anxiety
Innocently watching all you take for granted
Changes never mattered
Cursed from the start with nothing
No one
No love
Ever
Fuck you!
Chronic, this solitude is chronic!
I torture myself every day and night
Over what I can't have
Insanity
No love
No one
Ever.
4. Guarantee Of Certain Doom
No belief in fate, falling further away
Tempting thoughts are surreal
Time erases not all wounds, I'm walking proof
You don't always reap what you sow!
Nothing to see, no one to hold
Can't ever be with you
No one better push me lest you're ready die
And now I'm willing to die
That means you too
Spent my whole life preparing for death
In wastelands of hatred when I am denied
To change the way I think about you
Can't change the way I feel these days
I've changed by guarantee of certain doom
Slay the want to feel, falling further away
Disconnected, I'm cold
Time erases not all wounds, I'm walking proof
You don't always reap what you sow!
Attitudes change, morphing by certitude
Yet people remain the same
Every day they say I ought to be more responsible
Be more responsible?
Well what about you?
Don't test me now
There is no going back
Yeah sure, I'm irresponsible
Not you, right?
5. Music That Kills
This obsession I cannot hide
Cannot hide misdirected hatred
And I can't help but override
Override considered consciousness
If you stay here, I might kill ya'
I might kill ya
Physically or otherwise, blatant aggression,
I know it's cliche
But just go Take with you what you can
If you don't wanna see yourself thrashed
Take with you what you can
And the fuck right outta' here
I am constantly criticized
Criticized behind my back, I know
Don't you act like you're so surprised
So surprised if I got a bone to pick
Lashing out at everyone
Everyone who's with or without me
Let me play the song, I know it's cliche
But just go
Back down, stay back
Take comfort in the fact there is death
(I will fuck you up! 2, 3, 4)
I love blasting the sound of my raw despise
I could have the world and still have this hate
Give me the music that kills
It's the only thing keeping me
From killing you motherfuckers physically
When all else seems to fail
Give me the music that kills!
6. Pain Is All We Share
I hold another vigil for myself
When all they see sunlight, I see fire and rain
All my possible prospects have turned out false
I feel like I'm dying and yet somehow I feel alright
Who's to say? All we lost and won?
Who's to say?
Who's to blame for these times?
A narcissistic voyage, life reviewed
To try to make sense of it, what's the use?
I keep on flirting with death, crawling back just in time
I know it's on me to reach out, but at some point, someone must take my hand
Who's to say? Who's to blame?
All we lost and won
Who's to say? Who's to blame?
Pain is all we share
I picked a fight with myself
And my face ended up in the mud
Nothing makes sense anymore
Quite honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
My quest for solace subsides
My old desires have died
This sick place wants to train me: happiness is not for me
Despite my lies, I tried
Where did I go wrong?
I've stuck around long enough
Why not wait?
Matured, broken, sensitive, but never weak
When will I really stop caring
And just set your world on fire?
7. Savage Rivalry
Oh shit! Bodies rising! Climates clashing!
Everyone is broke!
Watch them all freak out! Leap out windows!
Trained for years to compete for garbage!
I can't wait for the day you see
You've been wasting your time with this pursuit
You think you're so smart but you don't know shit
Only greed, you will get what you deserve
Fine! You wanted to compete?
Well this is me competing
I'm well aware
It's me against the world!
You wanted to compete?
Well this is me competing
I'm well aware
It's me against the
"World's gonna die, world's gonna die, world's gonna die" STOP
"World's gonna die, world's gonna die, world's gonna die"
Fuck this place
I am one of many but I don't have a team
So I scream and make songs by myself
I cannot compete civilly so I freak out
Time to time, maybe bomb a fucking place
There's no difference between them
Bitches lie, assholes cheat, and they all just want a piece
Fuck them, kill them, watch them die, take my life
I don't care, I'm a victim, you're a victim, too!
It's me against the world!
Bring it, bitch!
Same shit, day to day
Man, I hate this fucking place
Lies, fakes, and deceit
It's a savage rivalry
Life? It's a savage rivalry!
8. Qualmsphere
Neurotic psychosis, forging alternatives
My life and failures become your problem
When I embrace calamity
Follow examples of rivals before me
With them I identify
Another of many
Yet nobody's with me
And I'm alone here
Deviating
Within the siren of fear
Burned from lights you never saw
Lost your voice and lost your mind
Bleed
I've made a deal with no one
Bleed
I'm too wise for my own good
Bleed
It's all they want me to do is
Bleed
And now you're going to suffer
Suffer me
No control but still in pain
Fear exists but not like yours
Scarred for life and never right
Hear the voice I cannot find...
9. Burn In The Gut
The future fades
The past is all that's left
Clutching a perfect knife
I push them away
Say things I might regret
To change my fucking life
The pull in my chest
That damn burn in my gut
Regret, nervousness
Is this all I know?
How can one person in the crowd be alone?
Feeble ones pass by, delicate and dead
I once knew myself
I once knew happiness
Was that just my youth? Were things never true?
The pull in my chest
That damn burn in my gut
Regret, nervousness
Is this all I know?
Our experience lives mainly through our screens
So that we can breathe and not really live
How can one person be the crowd all alone?
Building our demise
Fucking up our lives
Machines have the say? Machines have the say?
No... fuck them all!
Our revival coming not from above
Screaming within
Our revival won't come!
