01. Silenced
Sticker this, censor this, ban this,
We've got something to say
Police this, condemn this, damn this
We'll be heard anyway
Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm
Silenced...
Listen here...
Is it a possibility?
That we're all just equal,
Slam the power down,
Abusing...
Does it piss you off to be beat at your own game
You lead us with false morals and shelter reality
No more...we're not buying the product
When you're selling
The words preaching silence
Insult me in my home,
When you were never invited
To live life on your curve,
Frustrating,
Throw sticks into the spokes,
To relieve insecurities,
Stifle all ascension and sticker our freedom
Of speech
Sticker this, censor this, ban this,
We've got something to say
Police this, condemn this, damn this
We'll be heard anyway
Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm
Silenced...
Don't tell me what I want,
Don't tell me what I need,
Don't tell me how I need to feel
I feel, goddamn nothing
Dig the eyes out of my face and I can still see right
Fuckin' through you,
Fuck you and everything you are,
I'm me, we're us and that's all
Closed mind with a forum to criticize,
Keep your policy and I've got mine
Exploit me, fabricate your lies,
We empower these cowards just to be left in
Silence
Listen here...
Stand on my soapbox,
And speak my own peace,
Whatever you may think,
It's real,
Prevail through what is me,
And step on your own beliefs
Thieving spineless sellouts, robbing our integrity
Bring it on!
Sticker this, censor this, ban this,
We've got something to say
Police this, condemn this, damn this
We'll be heard anyway
Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm...

02. Trapped In The Wake Of A Dream
Do I deserve these beatings?
Hating me, well then
Cut, cut the noose and let me fall away
I'm growing weak and tired,
Of you and your little shoving games,
Fucking, pushing me,
You pulled the trigger
Trapped in the wake of your...
Dream, you're all killers, always fuckin'
Pushing me, insulting me, I've overcome,
I have found the strength of Gods in me
Crashing, all unwilling, this is so
Un-stoppable,
Hard as nails, hook that holds, reach down
And find the strength of many in you
My sanctuary calling my name, so I run
Through, to the light, weeping through
A cloud
Darkened, by a tainted dream
Of me, being pummeled by the tide,
Crushing, killing me,
But I can't wake up,
Trapped in the wake of a...
Dream, you're all killers, always fuckin'
Pushing me, insulting me, I've overcome,
I have found the strength of Gods in me
Crashing, all unwilling, this is so
Un-stoppable,
Hard as nails, hook that holds, reach down
And find the strength of many in you
Call it, call it a truce, I'm believing, in it more
And more
Comfort, purge the truth, I'll believe it, I'm so
Weak and sore,
Shadowed, hide and seek but you never
Looked, I wait behind the door
Call out, bite the hand, that is feeding
Compassion no more
I hope I never wake up,
Dream sewing, filters, distort reality of what
Is mine through
Light this mind awakens
I draw the line from then and now,
Awake and dreaming,
Forgotten past future becomes mine.
Throw the chains, all away, take control,
Of your life, powers known,
This is mine
Dream, you're all killers, always fuckin'
Pushing me, insulting me, I've overcome,
I have found the strength of Gods in me
Crashing, all unwilling, this is so
Un-stoppable,
Hard as nails, hook that holds, reach down
And find the strength of many in you

03. Not Falling
Always, knowin in, all my time,
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize,
That all I need is to find the middle pillar
Path to sit like the sun by a
Star in the sky and just be
Sinners, casting stones at me
I...I stand, not crawling, not falling down
I...I bleed the demons that drag me down
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling
(The center), not falling down
(Of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(But myself). that pull me down
(For me and no one else)
Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, personalities, conflicting,
I don't need you, or anyone, but me,
I'll just be, living my own life,
I feel my glowing center grow, infecting
I feel alive,
Shovel dirt over lime,
Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under
Covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(By myself), not falling down
I...I bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(But myself) that drag me down
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(The center), not falling down
(Of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed (for no one), the demons,
(But myself), that pull me down
(For me and no one else)
Come play kill.
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stone cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow,
I'm fueled godless
Come play, come play
Kill
Just be, just be
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(By myself), not falling down
I...I bleed, (for no one), the demons,
(But myself) that drag me down
I...I stand, (for nothing), not crawling,
(The center), not falling down
(Of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed (for no one), the demons,
(But myself), that drag me down
(For me and no one else)

04. (Per)Version Of A Truth
When everything is lost (peel it away)
Hauting us with questions (asking) will we
Ever find the smile inside (no)
Is it hidden behind the sweating eyes (bleeding)
Dead inside a scream that's pouring from me
I'm planted in this skin (constricting and pulling me)
This dirty filthy skin (rancid and stinging me)
I burn behind the walls (that have become my world)
The bearer of a gift, fuck your gift
Truth does not exist
But the lies do...
Truth does not exist
But the lies do...
They're buried in the skin
Evolved
Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck here
(Inside of lies buried in me, why) alone
Born into a world, never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)
Always inside atragedy (things never seem to go away)
A room that i remember (portraits I carry)
Try letting go of this space (bad habits can't kick me)
The fool that fell from heaven, heaven!
Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck here
(Inside of lies buried in me, why) alone
Born into a world, never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)
(It doesn't exist, doesn't exist) truth!
(It doesn't exist, doesn't exist) truth!
(It doesn't exist, doesn't exist) truth!
(It doesn't exist, doesn't exist) truth!
(It doesn't exist, doesn't exist) truth!
Maybe we're all the children of a star
Misguided in direction, our misdirection
Pardon me while I pray for
Light!
I'm not the only one
That walks between the rain, there are many
I'm not the only one
When everything is lost that doesn't surrender
Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck here
(Inside of lies buried in me, why) alone
Born into a world, never asked to be here
Your versions of the truth
I'm not the only one!

05. Mercy Severity
We've come here from so far away
I can save you if you leave it all behind
This sufferings been far too long
Would you take a trip with me on the back of a star
I feel like earth's gravity
Is just here to pull us down
Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world, carry them away
Darkness, negative, receptive
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls strap me down and sent the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts pour form and reshape
This dark womb wraps and covets me
Redefining understanding if you open up the heart
Nurturing this phenomenon
We can carry you on our wings
Our wings through the dark
Lightning flashes of insight
Into the mirth of a dark sky
Pain of division is nothing
Joy of dissolution is everything
Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world, carry them away
Darkness, negative, receptive
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls strap me down and sent the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts pour form and reshape
Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of Yin's severity, rewards understanding
Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of Yin's severity, rewards understanding
Blackness consumes
Body comforts core of nothing
Blackness consumes
Body comforts core of nothing
Mother I can remember
A vault of security
Can you take me away
Would you take me away
Won't you take me away
Away!
Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world, carry them away
Darkness, negative, receptive
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls strap me down and sent the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts pour form and reshape

06. World So Cold
When passion's lost and all the trust is gone
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected
Only in a world so cold, only in a world this cold
Hold the hand of your best friend
Look into their eyes, then watch them drift away
Some might say we've done the wrong things
For way too long, for way too long
Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the name (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through
Mending out the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
Circumstances of a world
So cold...
Burning whispers remind me of the days
I was left alone in a world this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause
I've left alone in a world so cold
Fever inside the storm
So I'm turning away
Away from the names (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through
Mending out the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
Circumstances of a world
So cold...
I'm flying, I'm flying away...
Away from the names (calling your names)
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Circumstances of a world
So cold!
Why does everyone feel like my enemy
Don't want any part of depression or darkness
I've had enough, sick and tired
Bring the sun, or I'm gone, or I'm gone
I'm backing out, I'm no pawn
No motherfucking slave of this
Never lied, never left
Never lived, never loved
Never lost, never hurt
Never worry about being me
Or anyone else, not a care
No concern, don't give a shit about
Anything
I'm backing out, I'm no pawn
No motherfucking slave of this
Never lied, never left
Never lived, never loved
Never lost, never hurt
Never worry about being me
Or anyone else, not a care
No concern, don't give a shit about
Anything
I need to find a darkened corner
A lightless corner
Where it's safer and calmer
I'm turning away
Away from the name (calling your names)
Away from the stones (throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through
Mending out the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
I'm running away
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Away from the space (hate this head space)
Circumstances of a world
So cold
I'm flying, I'm flying away!
Away from the names (calling your names)
Away from the games (fucking head games)
Circumstances of a world
So cold!

07. The Patient Mental
Patient
Just as I am
As always
Watch the time go by
Nothing left to pass by
The minutes follow me
Drunken little people
Work away in me
Why, wont the leave me, leave me alone
When I don't even want me, want me
I have to
Kill the words
Before they
Form a sentence
A sentence that is me
Judged by those that carry
The patient sits in cradled arms
That comfort me by strangeling
Why, wont the leave me, leave me alone
When I don't even want me, want me
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty, screaming
Staring back
Why won't they leave him, leave him alone
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our warship, the hate driven envy
They have to kill the meal
Before they can consume
Consume my inner peace
With out the understanding
Trapped inside the works
The hands are moving me
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty, screaming
Staring back
Why won't they leave him, leave him alone
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our warship, the hate driven envy
Release me
Let me go
Why do they observe me?
There's nothing here to cure
I can see the silhouettes
That sit behind the mirror
I'm just like a clock upon the wall
Always moving but never going anywhere
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty, screaming
Staring back
Why won't they leave him, leave him alone
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty, screaming
Staring back
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our warship, the hate driven envy

08. Skrying
This puzzle's dead inside
Missing pieces, growing eyes
Mystery
Little girls severity
Little boys begging mercy
Sticks break on me
Cost of life at 23
Price of pain a golden ring
All crimson
Melting body rubber world
Battle axe with locks of curls
Introverted
My cost, the price of a broken doll
Can you remember that place
The place you would go to
Make things okay?
1000 points for insects stings
Glue my spirit, break my wings
Misery
Libido steams infectious whore
Cauterize and forge the sword
Remember killing
Children, learning the secret knock
A nickel to enter that place
The place you would go to
Make things okay
My cost, the price of a broken doll
Can you remember that place
The place you would go to
Take pain away?
Games of passion taste so sweet
Cut his throat and slaughter meat
My secrets
Seven heads for seven seas
Darkened voices plead disease
Dismembering me
Children, wrestle to seal the bag
Storing it deep in that place
The place you would go and
Try to escape
Children, learning the secret knock
A nickel to enter that place
The place you would go to
Make things okay
My cost, the price of a broken doll
Can you remember that place
The place you would go to
Take pain away
Skrying through reflections in a pool
I see death coming, moving down
Do you remember the bedroom?
Was it your cell or was it your tomb?
Skrying through reflections in a pool!
I see death coming, moving down!
Do you remember the bedroom?
Was it your cell or was it your tomb?
You're living through my hell
You're living through my hell
Children, learning the secret knock
A nickel to enter that place
The place you would go to
Make things okay
My cost, the price of a broken doll
Can you remember that place
The place you would go to
Take pain away?

09. Solve Et Coagula
Fire!
Fire!
I dissolve and solidify
Destroy to recreate
Disassemble to assemble something pure
Our rubric, solve et coagula
Kill to be born again
Cycled a thousand times
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire, rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire!
I construct a new institution
Not out of bricks, iron, cement
Concrete or steel
Our rubric, solve et coagula
Distill to purify
We've done it a thousand times
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire, rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire!
Burn!
Bleed all the lives of life, ascend to the sky
Burn!
All the martyrs
Burn!
Bleed all the lives of life, ascend to the sky
Fire, planetary alchemy
Fire, the time is here now
Fire, four corners to rise
Fire, rise!
Fire, there's always loss within
Fire, the cleansing it's time
Fire, shooting arrows to the sky
Fire!

10. Shadow Of A Man
Mirror, mirror upon the wall, I'm asking you
Who is the most confused of them all?
Mirror, mirror, subservient twin screams back at me, you
You sick, flawless mime, I wanna break you!
Yeah, you're a clever one
Do you reflect me or do I reflect you
Are you inside of another world
I want to break through
Yeah, you're a clever one
Is this a tool, can I step through
To find another plane
Or just a shadow of a man
A superficial tool to support the vanity
Of weak, when you don't love yourself
If life's as painful on your side
I'll break your existence and cut through mine
Yeah, you're a clever one
Are you a tool, can I step through
To find another plane
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother, you look like me
Trapped inside another world, my lost twin
Just a superficial tool to support the vanity
Of weak, when you don't love yourself
Mirror, upon the wall
Am I a reflection of you?
Mirror, upon the wall
Are you staring back through
Understanding has no place within my world
On your side
Are you a tool, can I step through
To find another plane
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother, you look like me
Trapped inside another world, my lost twin
Are you a tool, can I step through
To find another plane
I'm just a shadow of a man
Just a superficial tool to support the vanity
Of weak, when you don't love yourself

12. The End Of All Things To Come
All over with
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strenghten within yourself
All over with
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
I'm killing every fucking thing
Until somebody gets the fucking point, the point I'm trying to make
I lead the mice on parade
Down to the river of Kool Aid, and open up the flood gates
I need a barrel of Cyanide; a pile of Strychnine
Until the whole damn world is dead, start over again
All over with
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
Stop talking, negotiating
Your feeble attempts towards world peace
Give me a fucking break
Need world-wide genocide, planetary suicide
And when the whole damn world is fucking dead
There's your fucking peace
All over with
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strenghten within yourself
All over with
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
Oxygen wasters...
Come on!
We've come... to save you
To save you from yourselfs
Kill or be killed
All over with
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strenghten within yourself
All over with
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces

13. A Key To Nothing
No more doors
No more locks
No more windows
No more box
No more, no less
No more guiltyness
No more six foot digs
No more hypocrities
No more emptiness
No more consequence
No more puppet strings
No more disease
No more growing up
No more happiness
No more lying down
No more complacecence
I have, I hold the key to nothing, it's a small killing
Murder, murders in the hands of motion, as it seems to be
No more nothing
No more anything
No more you
No more me
No more posturing victories
No more nations to defeat
No more speaking truth
No more deceit
No more holding down
No more pushing me
No more new world order
No more anarchy
I have, I hold the key to nothing, it's a small killing
Murder, murders in the hands of motion, as it seems to be
I'm washing my hands of the whole thing...
I'm washing my hands of the whole thing...
I'm washing my hands of the whole thing
Of the whole thing
I want no more nothing
I want no more nothing
I want no more nothing
I want no more nothing
I have, I hold the key to nothing, it's a small killing
Murder, murders in the hands of motion, as it seems to be
I'm washing my hands of everything
Of everything we are
