Ozymandias 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Cull me to sleep with angels watching, I’ll watch civilization crumble in my dreams, As your empire collapses it eats all it sees, We’re on a boat that’s been sinking the water’s up to our knees, Woe is me my blood is curdling, All this rage I have felt it is begging to be free, Arm my joy end this sorrow and struggle for me, I will not stay down I will not tremble at your decrees, I do not believe in anything, I am Ozymandias king of kings, I am the songbird that no longer sings, I am Ozymandias king of kings, Plastic salts the sea birds fall from the trees, What will be left of the world in the wake of anthropocene, Seizing the means of production was never enough to save you and me, The endgame is destruction of all that the eye could ever see, I do not believe in anything, I am Ozymandias king of kings, I am the songbird that no longer sings, I am Ozymandias king of kings

Desert 02:49
lyrics

Maniacal laughter fills the halls of his abode, As she spoke to him in tongues of old, Bout stories that she never wrote and, We play musical chairs with forests and continents, Spreading tentacles so obstinate, Leaving deserts in our cursed footprint, Pillage the mother for her gold, Drain the black blood from her veins and know, In time we will return to the dirt out of which we’re born, Blot the sun out of the sky, Put all your chips in it’s do and die, The smoke will choke the mother so we can’t hear her cry, Leviathan will chew you up and spit you out, But how can you imagine how we could ever do without, We need to die just to survive this is unconscious suicide, I’ll see you in the desert cause we’re all out of time We’re all out of time, So unaware of the incoming storm, Just buy and sell a little more, Through atrocities that you ignore and, The clock is ticking and it rules your every breath, Leaving your life sterile and bereft, Of everything that gave it depth, Texture replaced with the cold, The winter replaced with the warm, It’s anybody’s guess what any of this was for, The mother sings her last goodbye, The gaia shuts her eyes and dies, The laughter’s so loud it drowns out the saddened sighs, Leviathan will chew you up and spit you out, But how can you imagine how we could ever do without, We need to die just to survive this is unconscious suicide, I’ll see you in the desert cause we’re all out of time We’re all out of time, You better learn how to swim if you want to survive, The sun feels hotter with the thinning clouds a sign of the times, The ghost before you begins to materialize, It’s staring you in the face but you can’t look it in the eye Oh why oh why The laughter stops in this now empty abode, The woman sings no more, Her tongue is slashed and torn, The tentacles begin to shrivel up and die, We have spread ourselves too far and wide, We’ve got nowhere left to hide, Leviathan will chew you up and spit you out, But how can you imagine how we could ever do without, We need to die just to survive this is unconscious suicide, I’ll see you in the desert cause we’re all out of time We’re all out of time

Lord 04:09
lyrics

I yearn and I long, To sing a new song, I know I deserve, No one to sing along, My mind searches for, Something worth staying for, Ooh lord, How can I ignore, What I’ve seen before, I doubt I’ll ever learn, Never dislodge this thorn, My mind searches for, Something worth staying for, Ooh lord, My hand reaches for, The locked frozen door, Ooh lord, Ooh lord, Fresh face without scorn, A new me is born, A soul once deformed, Innocence restored, Like I’m watching porn, Observe nothing more, Life becomes a chore, Never been adored, Betrayed by mentor, I’ve lost this quiet war, My mind searches for, Something worth staying for, Ooh lord, My hand reaches for, The locked frozen door, Ooh lord, Ooh lord,

Dawn 05:36
lyrics

Snow paints the rooftops white, Blinding me with it’s reflected light, Bouncing into my retinas but my brain can’t process this lie, So the world appears upside down for a time, My language has been reduced to a solemn pantomime, Will you give me a sign, But where were you when no one stood with me, Where were you when I was on my knees, I’ll be your eyes until dawn, And you’ll be glad when I’m gone, And I can’t change that, I can feel myself getting older constantly, Trudging my way through each damned day, Like a serf I slave away until Robin Hood saves me, The vultures circle, the birds of prey, They are all encompassing, Picking away at my flesh, Leaving the Earth the rest, But where were you when no one stood with me, Where were you when I was on my knees, I’ll be your eyes until dawn, And you’ll be glad when I’m gone, And I can’t change that, But where were you when no one stood with me, Where were you when I was on my knees, I’ll be your eyes until dawn, And you’ll be glad when I’m gone,

Lost 03:15
lyrics

The same old sky, I’ve known my whole life, The stars do not shine, Through the glow of the civilized, The same old sound, Crushed by the loud, It won’t be so profound, To behold with no one around, And I don’t believe in these solutions the real ones passed us by, And I don’t believe that this can last you know as well as I, And I think I’ve lost the strength to cry, This quiet night, Can’t calm my fright, I’m afraid to ask, Who hides behind that mask, This quiet day, Fleeting away, The summer keeps getting longer, I don’t want to die this way, But I don’t believe in these people they don’t care if we die, And I don’t believe a state or party will save us this time, And I don’t believe a new world can be built in time, And I think I’ve lost the strength to try

Dream 04:42

Can you see, Can you believe, That these things you’ve given no longer amuse me, Are you well, Can you tell, I am no longer under your spell, Do you see me, Do you believe me Call it a miracle you ever made it this far, Do you hear me, Do you fear me, Something spiritual in tearing you apart, When you dream, Do you dream of me, As you bleed tell me motherfucker what do you dream, Do you see, The souls of the deceased, Those who’ve starved in lack while you lived in excess and greed, Do you see me, Do you believe me Call it a miracle you ever made it this far, Do you hear me, Do you fear me, Something spiritual in tearing you apart, And your screams, Sound like singing, It’s music to my ears a symphony of fucking agony, My slate is clean, My stabbing arm it swings, No more mercy I’ll do unto you as you’ve done unto me, Do you see me, Do you believe me Call it a miracle you ever made it this far, Do you hear me, Do you fear me, Something spiritual in tearing you apart, No more screams, The deed is now complete, As the heat leaves your body I bask in victory, No more dreams, Just a silent sleep, You brought this on yourself you know exactly what you’ve done to me Do you see me, Do you believe me Call it a miracle you ever made it this far, Do you hear me, Do you fear me, Something spiritual in tearing you apart

Wounds 03:55
lyrics

Feel like I’m trapped on the fire escape, The building behind me burning and the ladders breaking, Guess I don’t have much time to contemplate, Why everyone’s so consumed with hate, Blaming each other won’t get us nowhere, We know who’s on the throne how to end this nightmare, It’s gonna take some work but I’m glad to do my fair share, As long as I’m not alone when I get there, I’ll be glad to call you a friend, I’ll see this out with you to the end, Come with me and be alive, I won’t leave you this is ride or die, I’ll be the one who treats your wounds, Trade the old world for the new, And if one of us should die, I’ll be right here by your side, Shuffling around the same old politicians, It don’t make a difference state is superstition, Money is fake so why do we spend all our time, Chasing it at the expense of our lives, Digits on a screen and worthless bits of paper, When will you realize that it doesn’t matter, We already have everything we need to survive, We don’t need to fight to stay alive, I’ll be glad to call you a friend, I’ll see this out with you to the end, Come with me and be alive, I won’t leave you this is ride or die, I’ll be the one who treats your wounds, Trade the old world for the new, And if one of us should die, I’ll be right here by your side, What else is there to know, The time is now it’s time to go, We can make vacant the throne, Claim the whole world as your own, We can create whatever we’d like, Together we have the might, I’ll define what’s wrong and right, We take these fuckin streets tonight, I’ll be glad to call you a friend, I’ll see this out with you to the end, Come with me and be alive, I won’t leave you this is ride or die, I’ll be the one who treats your wounds, Trade the old world for the new, And if one of us should die, I’ll be right here by your side

Sing 05:02
lyrics

Last night I fell asleep with the lights on, Now I’m wondering how I slept for so long, Another day another chance to slave, The carrot on the stick laughs and dances away, So we sing into the night for nothing, No one hears us but we sing anyway, Who needs an audience when we have ourselves, Making heaven out of hell, We sing, We sing of jovial times, We dance into the night, And the words never rhyme, But we sing, For the rest of our lives, We have nowhere to run, We have nowhere to hide, So we sing I don’t say a word to no one, I feel unwelcome in the presence of anyone, I don’t deserve your attention, Keep your eyes of me keep me out of the question, I’m afraid of dying alone but, I’m more afraid of opening up, There’s only one place where I can be, Unafraid to be set free I sing, I sing of jovial times, I dance into the night, And the words never rhyme, But I sing, For the rest of my life, I have nowhere to run, I have nowhere to hide, So I sing, The world might be on fire, The seas might be rising, All we have is each other, A future worth designing, When I look in your eyes, All that matters is the here and now, When I look in your eyes, I see the whole world fading out, We sing, We sing of jovial times, We dance into the night, And the words never rhyme, But we sing, For the rest of our lives, We have nowhere to run, We have nowhere to hide, So we sing

Same 08:23

When you look in the mirror do you even recognize yourself, Or do your machine limbs give you a shit eating grin that transforms you into someone else, Did you sacrifice your mind and health to satisfy an audience of drones, But no matter how many of them see you you’re still all alone, When you look outside do you see the world you want to see, Or do you see the scars does it hurt your heart do you see what we are doing, What do you feel inside do you feel alive or do you feel what I feel, Like no matter what you do the drugs don’t fix you they just make the world less real, Every day is the same, Just keep playing the game, As your body wastes away, Chasing after the fame, Have you gone insane, Is this a symptom of decay, I can feel the judging eyes of everyone alive, I expose myself to this digital hell I indulge in this destructive vice, I crave the human touch it turns to greed and lust at the direction of our new kings, They’ve colonized my mind turned my attention to cash monetized my suffering, And still I scream into the night, Out of mind out of sight, Please show mercy mother, I swear to you I tried to make things right, X2 Every day is the same, Just keep playing the game, As your body wastes away, Chasing after the fame, Have you gone insane, Is this a symptom of decay, The quiet days, Keep fleeting away, The summer keeps getting longer, Don’t you dare look away As your empire collapses, You redraw all your maps as, The desert left in your cursed footprints spread, How do you ignore, What you have seen before, Will you ever learn, Will you ever dislodge this thorn But I’ll still be your eyes until the dawn of a new day, And you’ll be glad when I’m gone and you’ll be better off this way And still I scream into the night, Out of mind out of sight, Please show mercy mother, I swear to you I tried to make things right, Every day is the same, Just keep playing the game, As your body wastes away, Chasing after the fame, Have you gone insane, Is this a symptom of decay

Clockwise 02:55

Take me back to 1815, When raging against the machine, Was taken a little bit more literally, A million nooses tied per day, Wandering blind in disarray, Oblivious to what we’ve lost along the way, It’s alright, I promise you it’s alright, It’s alright, We’re gonna be alright, The ears they hear us everywhere, The eyes a never ending stare, If you don’t swim you’ll surely drown in your despair, Blank faces stare with empty eyes, Following crowds chasing highs, Marching clockwise towards the long goodbye, Those little voices make me cry, The screaming keeps me up at night, As the end becomes more reified, Waiting in my electric chair, For the last time I feel fear, It’s the only way that I have left to even care It’s alright, I promise you it’s alright, It’s alright, We’re gonna be alright
