1.	Nothing Left In the Aftermath 00:59	lyrics	buy track
I rest my heavy head Thickened fog on the ocean's skin It shrouds to bury our dead With orders to conquer and instill dread Pondering thoughts adrift in stench In their defeat all is left in doubt Burdened with traditional ideals intact without recourse, structures collapsed From our stigmatized victory We triumph in our aftermath...
2.	Perpetual Greed 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Old men in a wave of hive minded thought heinous motives constrict the center taut This dichotomy of the oppressed and the wicked Shows a balance shifted in favor of the rich and the twisted The standard is avaricious, in masks they trick the masses With deceptive power they categorize us into separate classes These decrepit vultures Amass their billions Slaves to their ambitions Cultivating our debt, we pay them in millions The wealthy above stand on the shoulders of us feebled below the blood spills deep stretching us thin to reap our homes! What they've taken from you and me will flat line the economy Perpetual greed roots through generations Instinct tells me this leads us to our extinction
3.	Chemically Silenced 01:20	lyrics	buy track
You've sat here in this room of malpractice Beholden to those who write the script Dependence is opportunistic The claim is that you’re sick Defined by this doctors guidance This pill will confine you in silence In a dreamless hibernation With no resolutions, your passions have muted Your mood at a level line, and heavy...the truth is... While we choose to ignore it The death toll is limitless Ah! Complacent, In a mindless, silent nation...
4.	Spiteful Tongues Condemn 01:57	lyrics	buy track
Humming melodies of discontent Rippling through our internet Through a superficial visceral connection Flesh less, mental states conform Mistakes made in words Summon tongues of swords The ouroboros stakes the claim That I'm the monster a permanent stain Rotting from contentious words in vain Broadcasting false claims Voices smothered muting all defenses Brainwashed bigots trick communal senses They claim to love yet demand perfection Step outside the policy line and it's public defamation Societal Condemnation Conforming human mental states We sync, submit, and cooperate What could've spawned a type one society lost all it progressed As the voice of the individual is quietly suppressed
5.	Cranial Abandonment 01:40	lyrics	buy track
You've borne it by hand and embraced its name You’ve been lost in this silence of it's corporate gain Mandated manufactured control This transience of life pays it's toll The mind's eye entranced in its totality Reverberating cries of family interventions Repeating fears for your absent motivation Cranial abandonment, empty, cold and numb There's comfort in this warmth pressed against your thumb You're lost Scrolling the grounds of the infinite (infinite!) Harvest of human cognizance (infinite!) Ignoring your trail of regression Infinite regression! The reaching grip of death Empowered by his scythe in hand His swing to claim With your shriek he maims A family attached to their screens As if they’ve forgotten you… I've forgotten you.
6.	Unleash the Beast 01:23	lyrics	buy track
An Animal inside society’s cage Controlled substances hold the key One drink of bottled fire Unleash the beast inside of me You may think I’m the man you know But that’s where you’d be wrong You may wonder when this part of me was born Oh, but I’ve been here all along Smashing your skull in My psychosis unstoppable Laughing, devouring Consume the unthinkable You kill and eat an animal - that makes you a man I kill and eat a man - what does that make me?
