THE ACACIA STRAIN LYRICS

1. Cable Ready Techno Slut

If I ever had a mind of my own,
I'd cut myself a new mouth and bleed you a smile from ear to ear.
Ear to ear, to ear.
A smile from ear to ear.

You're welcome to the real world
Beta version 1.5.
Welcome to the real world.
Beta version 1.5.
Welcome to the real world.
Beta version 1.5.

"He's more a machine, uh, than man?"

Raised on antiques passed for reality.
Spatial incarnate painted with blood.
Dredged from the ocean.
Never to see daylight again.

Our fate is something lesser than life.

I saw it in the eyes of the ocean,
We say,
"We've always been here and we'll never leave."
We will never leave.
We will never leave.

Deprogram programmable programming programs.
Deprogram programmable programming programs.
Deprogram programmable programming programs.
Deprogram programmable programming programs.

Deprogram programmable ...

2. ...And Life Is Very Long

[Instrumental]

3. Roadhead Road

Expose the wires.
Expose the veins.
Expose the wires.
Expose the veins.

Show them what is made by machine.
Tools of the tools of the masters design.
When you wake up, you will all be slaved.
When you wake up, you will all be dead.
Tools of the tools of the masters design.
When you wake up, you will all be dead.
Tools of the tools of the masters design.
When you wake up, you will all be dead.

Weapons of the weapons of mass destruction.
Brilliant minds built by resilient minds.
Weapons of the weapons.

Refurbishing the fact that the future is futuristic and the future is now.
Refurbishing the fact that the future is futuristic and the future is now.
Refurbishing
Refurbishing the fact that the future is futuristic and the future is now.

Model a life, fate is real, fate is you, fate is built.
Model a life, fate is real, fate is you, fate is built.
Fate is built.

And no one thought it would come to this.
No one thought it would come to this.
No one ever thought it would come to this.

Deconstruct
Deconstruct
Deconstruct
Deconstruct.

4. The Widowmaker

And they screamed on the way down.

The best thing since sliced bread has destroyed everything you've ever known.
Everything you've ever known.

Their morning is their iron lung.

5. All She Wrote

It never stopped raining!
With daggers
sewn through her heart, she cries.

She cries.
She cries.
Filled with confusion,
she cries.
She cries.
She cries.
Filled with confusion, she cries.

No one can help me!
No one can help me, can't help myself!
I can't help myself!
I can't help myself!

Frozen throughout
Exposing broken skin.
Frozen throughout
Exposing
Broken
Skin.

One week!
One week, one more week!
One week,
one more week!
One week,
one more week!
One week,
one more...
Week!

Anymore
Burning in her mind.
Take anymore
Burning in her mind.
Take anymore
Burning in her mind.
Take anymore
Burning in her mind.

Why
Can't I
Sever your head?
Why can't I sever
your memory?
Why can't I sever your head?
(Why) Can't I sever your memory?
Memory!

The image
Burned through her
eyes
Has made it
on to the mirror.
Broken glass
Reflecting on
shards of the
past.
Broken glass
Reflecting
on!

Force-fed
Memories
Walking
On tacks.
Please
Pull the knife
Out of my back.
Force-fed
Memories
Walking
On tacks.
Please
Pull the knife
Out of my back.
And I'll pull the knife out of yours,
And I'll pull the knife out of yours!

You can't stop the rain!
You can't stop the rain!
You
Can't stop
The
Rain!

6. Why Is A Raven Like A Writing Desk

Combining the creative efforts that focused on the assassination attempts made upon all presidents
with the main ideals of capitalism and fears of environmental degeneration.
The ozone depletion is a lie.
A farce concocted by geniuses to cover up the tracks of wheels long set in motion.

We are the seekers of sight.
The sightseers seeing what no others have seen.
We are the seekers of sight.
The sightseers.

Stop all production

Dumb down and unlearn.
Why lie, why deceive?
Corruption is easier when the corrupted are corrupt

To relearn is death, but the dead have been walking the earth for years.

7. Killing On Empty

And I dream in black and white and red.

The last time I saw you, your head was on a spike, still screaming her name.
Still cursing the day that I was born.
Yet nothing has changed.

Or do I still ask you for help? No.
Then stop asking me for forgiveness.

I cannot bleed until my dreams come true.

8. Noah Will Be Your Grave

There is no such thing as fire and brimstone.
When the rains come, so will the floods and Noah will be your grave.
Help promote the de-evolution of the human race.
Continue the search because we are not ownable, we are not programmable, we cannot be controlled.
Search manufacture or remanufacture.
I've lost my train of thought again, can't remember yesterday from the back of my hand.
But I can see your future and it does not contain me.
When the world ends, we will all relive our childhoods, and our rebirth will begin.

9. Doppleganger

Revert. Revert into the sullen dogs you once were.
As poison replaces blood.
Everyone used to think humanity was you, slowly and surely you're more machine than men.
Gears and cogs clog your system.
Surely you're more machine than men.
Overload.

Poison replaces blood.

Always running in circles.
Tie me up, light me up, tear me down.

As the paint runs down your face and into your eyes, think of me.
I want to be remembered as pain.

10. Sloth Loves Chunk

It's more a lifetime you left.
A lifetime of lifelines shouting from rooftops with no one to hear but us.
I'm not going to lie, I never did, I never will; but I loved that life.
I lived that life, so does that mean I'm dead?

Time has passed since our last goodbyes and the taste of that letter still stands on my lips.
Honey mixed with vinegar.
And life is very long.

You know I would set this world on fire just to see the look on your face
Because silence is sweet, but not as sweet as revenge
I would set this world on fire just to see your face
But not as sweet as revenge.
