The Project 03:57
Living life in fear, So many people afraid of the homes they live in. Turning a blind eye to the reality of society. All attention to the worlds over publicized irrelevant problems, Making their minds vulnerable to the smallest negative. Digging into the minds of the ones who dwell. Screaming at the sun and falling to our brittle knees. It's all in our heads, constricting us. Free your heavy mind, Stop this overthinking. Release the pressure. Free your heavy mind. Free your fucking mind. Mentally creating false consequence, Unsound, delusional state of mind. Delusional state of mind. Screaming at the sun and falling to our brittle knees. It's all in our heads, constricting us.

Eclipse 04:15
We live in such a beautiful world, vivid and vibrant, culture and language. An ever expanding world of new ideas and exploration. Ridden of hatred and anguish. Peril and fear. Families preparing for the soldiers, with a rifle in hand. Vast landed countries, with no where to run. Ruled by false kings and conquered by false idols. A life of greed and currency driven egos. We live in such a disgusting world, putrid and vile, withered and damaged. Humans on earth like parasites on dead flesh. Eating away at the remains of vessel that used to harbour a life form. LIFEFORM Hatred building in the back of my head, ripping the tendons out the back of my neck. Not much more for this life of ignorance. Tie the noose tight and kick the bucket. A life we live to pay for living. A life we live to get us by until the day we die. A life we live to pay for living. A life we all live just to get us by. And only kings will say, when I die will my body be laid in something beautiful. When I die will my body be laid in something beautiful. This is life we live, watching the world burn. This is life we live, watching the world burn down.

Osology 06:02
Holding me down. Pulling me apart. Tearing off my skin, And digging like a dog in the dirt. Cut off my tongue and rip out my eyes, Don't mind the snakes in my head they wont bite. Life is so versatile and it makes us question If its all really worth while. I crawl to the edge and look down to see my reflection and bare the lifeless emotion. Lose my grip and fall head first into the great abyss. Solve the riddles and survive the fall. Rebuild my body after the impact and climb out of the crater. Toss in a jerry can and send that cenotaph to hell. Dance around my burning body and scream a lullaby. Wake me up, I'm drowning in the madness. Spike my drink and don't let me fall asleep again. Wake me up. There’s always a way out, but never an answer why. Be my Polaris and guide me back home. There’s always a way out, but never an answer why. Be my Polaris and guide me back home. Poor gasoline down my throat and send that cenotaph to hell. Dance around my burning body and scream a lullaby. They set me on fire. Ya just spit in my face and let me go insane. Put the gun to my neck and let me suffer in my head. My skin burned, it's wearing thin. Making an easier escape for the crows trapped in my back. Lifeless, a pile of ash and a statuesque shell of a rib cage. Thank god the vultures don't like their meat, well-done Chicago.

Track 5 06:40
My mind is engulfed in flames, and I cannot revise the decisions that I’ve made. DRINK UP! Just let it take over. DRINK UP! Just rage with me. The chemicals are coursing, through my withered veins. I’ve fed lies into my head, with the thought that I am dead. What doesn't kill me makes me wish it did. What doesn't kill me makes me wish it did. Raise your fist up in the air tonight if you feel lost, in this slowly decaying world. Our feet are punctured from the shards that shed from our bodies. May the reaper take over. A ditch ridden with holes and scars. A neck supported by the pressurized veins. A swollen throat from the vomit in a bowl. Another night spent on the bathroom floor. DRINK UP! Just let it take over. DRINK UP! Just rage with me. Waste away with me. Another night spent on the bathroom floor. Haunting me, terrors at night, they pull me down. And honestly, I'd rather die alone than watch my dreams burn down in front of me. Raise your fist up in the air tonight if you feel lost, in this slowly decaying world. Our feet are punctured from the shards that shed from our bodies. May the reaper take over. My skin is too tight, I want out of it. but the peeling never helps, it only makes me feel sick. I've lost everything I had left to loose, and in the end I'm just the pilot of a corpse. The thing that makes me stronger, enhances everything. It's taken everything away from me. Away from me. FUCK YOU! You said you'd always be there for me, but you just left me screaming. FUCK YOU! This was never the cure for me, this isn't what I needed.

Our Story 04:30
No time for regrets. The choice yours to be everything, you wanted and more. I can't believe it's come to this. The sun will rise and ya can't do shit, our heart and souls are like a bottomless pit. We can't believe that these dreams are real. cause' we're already in one, tonight. We dream of worlds so perfect, cause' this one can't be saved. If I die tonight, close my eyes. And fight to stay alive. Weightless, I'm drifting away. Only to find myself building and bending ideas that seem to be real. The war continues, we fight as one. The past is shattered, left in the dark. Time is the only thing keeping me alive. We dream of worlds so perfect, cause' this one can't be saved. If I die tonight, close my eyes. And keep the party strong.

Polaris 05:09
North star, have you led me astray? I am surrounded by empty space. North star, come back to me, Its so easy to lose our mind. Like drones, we follow false guidance. Into the dark, take my hand, don't stray too far, I'm scared to be let go. Ive seen my life passing by never expected an answer from beyond this world. We looked to the stars for a glimpse of creation that is limited from the sun. We feel like, we have to follow every path that's been paved. Don't follow, don't fear. I feel like, we have the power to carve our own way. Don't follow, don't fall. And again and again and again, you lead me so far from home. My faith is lost to the wind , Consumed by doubt. You were my anchor, But you sunk too low. Sunk too low. Lost, I'm suffocating, Swallowed and slowly fading. Lost, abandoned, broken, I'm right back where I stood before. Lost, abandoned, broken, I will find my own way home. I will find my own way home. The wolves surround me How could you fail me? The blood soaks into the snow As they're upon me. This blood is not my own. Just look up, I only see a light of lies. I will never look back up, the sky is as void as my fucking heart. We were meant for more. Than this song of song of sorrow. Lost, abandoned, broken, I will find my own way home.

We won't breathe the air that's left for us. And until we close our eyes, we aren't home. All these days, all these years have gone by so fast I can't remember, when was the last I was home again? You can love me, hate me I'm still packing my bags and leaving to a better place. Waiting for a place to call home, lost within the dark, unsheltered and alone. There is nothing that I can call home. Nothing to call home. These colours fade back to gray. The sun blocked out Welcome the dark again. And now all I think about is losing myself all over again. Fade back to gray. The sun blocked out Welcome the dark again. Free myself from these silver strings. I know that we're all sick, bleeding out from emptiness. Frozen solid from the sins of tossing all our coins away. Death by life and validations to the entrance of our graves. Kill the silence with the never ending need of dying days. All these days all these years have put me through such pain, at such an age that these scars will last forever Turn the lights out, turn the lights right out. Pull the plug, cut the chord off of me. I know that we're all sick, bleeding out from emptiness. Frozen solid from the sins of tossing all our coins away. Death by life and validations to the entrance of our graves. Kill the silence with the never ending need of dying days. Mum and dad are you happy now, that I've lived a short life? Trapped in fear, deep in thought. Vengeance travels down my spine all night.
