They'll say it's all for the country but then they prey on the weak
They'll say it's all for the hungry but then they read 'em and weep
So much for country
And so much for meek
They'll say it's all for the country but then they read 'em and weep
They'll say it's all for some relief but then they heighten the grief
They'll say it's all for their beliefs but then they ask for release
So much for beliefs
Just another mouthpiece
They'll say it's all for some relief but then they heighten the grief
They'll say it's all for some progress but then they go and oppress
They'll say it's all for our success but then they create an abscess
So much for progress
There's no caress
They'll say it's all for our success but then they go and oppress
I wanted more
You wanted more
Who wants some more?

Sleep Forever
04:34
|
|||
|
Watching the clock
Suffer to find
That I've got all the etiquette
Burned in my mind
Sleep forever and a day
Take all your medicine
Learn all the ways
Giving the answers
Stashing a roll
It's all for the greater good
Good for the soul
Sleep forever and a day
Thanks to the medicine
Paving the way
Creating the cause
Pursuing effect
It's all for our benefit
You can't object
Sleep forever in a haze
Injecting the medicine
Blurring the day
Feed me, watch me, know me
Teach me, wash me, clothe me
And we're burning out
We're all burning out
We're all burning now

They're gonna hide me
In plain sight
Just try to find me
Cuz here I wait
They're gonna hide me
In plain sight
But it takes too long to find me
Forces them away
They're gonna hide me
Well, whatcha gonna do
They'll always hide me
But it's all for you
Undermine me
Well, are ya gonna fake it too

Vapid Child
02:58
|
|||
|
Come with me and I'll show you
all the levels of a sin
Open up and see clear
How the lines draw in
On the road I know I could fail
On the road you'll judge
Like some vapid child
Follow me and I'll tempt you
with all the measures of a sin
Lighten up and be free
Inhibition caves in

So Plastic
00:57
|
|||
|
My thoughts are elastic
Yet everything's so plastic
You're fucking spastic
Consuming so much plastic
Feeling bombastic
From viewing so much plastic
Suffocate scholastics
With plastic tactics
So plastic

Initiation

Watch what you're doing and what it concerns
Watch what you're doing cause we'll feel it burn
I'll find the cause
Its sustenance
I'll starve the void
Break the body
Drink the blood
Break through confusion and incoherence
Break through confusion and interference
I'll grow it all
That's evident
I'll watch it heal
Watch what you're doing
Who does it serve
Watch what you're doing cuz it makes you learn
I've read the script
Now I'll write my own
To push against

Gotta Pay
02:21
|
|||
|
I've gotta pay
And better make it quick
Cause it's bleeding over
And creativity's slick
It takes forever
impulsive feeling, I'm sick
This long endeavor
The pressure's causing a tick
I've waited long enough but...
I've gotta pay
Because I'm never waiting long enough
I've gotta pay
But my intentions don't stick
So it'll take forever
The usury's like a brick
Around my neck
My vision's pulling a trick
That grip occult
Too late for all this to click
I've waited long enough but...
I've gotta pay
Never waited long enough so...
I've gotta pay
I've waited long enough

Shallow Water Blackout
02:33
|
|||
|
Sitting cross eyed
And cross legged too
Some savior calls to me but
It won't get through
Waiting
Wanting
Things to change
Waiting
Watching
Their deep state pressing on
Blue light blindness
Panic ensues
My savior calls to me but
Their lines confuse
Insert a resolution
I want some resolution
Maybe that's some revolution
Maybe through some evolution

Burnout
02:05
|
|||
|
Learn all their play
To subvert the genes
Feel the helplessness
Feel the beta soul
You've played the game
And you've played us all
But like some long lit cigarette
You'll burn out for good
Keep all the scars
Try for relief
By giving up on health
And giving into greed
Ignores the pleas
Tears at the core
Until you give it the keys
Until you shed your soul
Resists the pull for consciousness
They wanna give it the teeth
They wanna plague the soil
You've played the game
And you've played us all
But like some long lit cigarette
You'll burn out for good
Displayed the bait
You lead us on
But like some long lit cigarette
You'll burn out for good

Bad Habits
04:50
|
|||
|
Seems that all my wants never match my needs
As for all my needs, they never seem to cease
And it seems these wants can eclipse my needs
Losing sight of needs, always seems to please
They just pick away and it stunts my feet
It might seem so sweet but it's just deceit
That atomic speech, sets the motions deep
And their functions creep in an unconscious heap
When I cease my wants it's like eternal peace
But that peace does cease and those wants release
As for all my wants, they're amplified by need
And in disbelief I watch my impulses feed
Bad habits have taken over
