In Motion 00:56
Everything went hell at once / there's no turning back, There's no changing the outcome / the time has come to react.
2.
Hivemind 03:01
Empty handed again / Lying naked and exposed Left with nothing again / The tank is empty, we’re all alone Refuse to accept our own solutions / Refuse to help ourselves We can't move forward / When we can't put one foot in front of the other. Once we've seen it, abandon hope / When what we can't see conquers concrete and bones Brothers we are no more / When selfishness implores The hate that we feel today / To extinguish all our flames When the coils tighten, try to breathe / If you can, if you will, if you have it inside you. No Time / No Breath / No Hope / No Rest Breathe / If / You / Can

When Fortune arrived at my door, one night, I said “speak quickly, I’ve got a lot of shit on my plate,” When Bad Luck kicked down my door, late one night, I embraced my old friend, "it’s been so long, are you alright?" She looked back, with a poisonous glance, “I’ve got some bad ideas if you’re willing to take a chance”, When all is said and done, it’s heads or tails / Will you lie on roses, or a bed of nails, Either way you end up in a box in the end, But the choices you make along the way are yours my friend, I won’t speak quickly, I won’t be shut out and ignored, I won’t speak quickly, I won’t be left out in the cold, *I heard a knock at the door, it was Fortune again, with gin on her breath and a knife clutched to her chest. Her eyes told me everything I needed to know, and I said goodbye as it slid home.* I’m drunk on the chances, I’m drunk on the rise and the decline, I’m drunk on the sadness, hung up on misfortunes that we find, I’m drunk on the madness, torn down by the pathways that we wind, I’m drunk on the chances, I’m drunk on the rise and the decline, You’re all that I wanted, I’m drunk on the chance to make you mine.

Warship 03:10
Tear off the mask / Kick down the doors / Rewrite the past / Destroy the source, The blade is / Serrated / Destroy the source, Bury it / Up to the hilt / Bury it up to the hilt / feel no remorse Winners write the history books / but survivors tell tall tales. Pondering, restless, wandering, breathless, searching for something real, Intangible travesty / the darkness of nightmares made real, Whispers you can't hold or touch / you always can feel. It's nightmare fuel, it's nightmare fuel, it's nightmare fuel. At the end of the path, insurmountable walls / Force the aftermath, predestined to fall. What will you find? When there's no place left to go. After searching for your whole life / you’ve found no home. When you've travelled so far, so far down a path paved with lies, Arrive at deceit's destination, wearing falsehood's disguise, All aboard the warship, ride it to the ground / And they will say, and they will say. "Believing what we've built, we'll have our day" / And we will surely say "While you were traveling blind, you were fucked by your own illusion. the knife in your back is your own / the knife in your back is your own."

Veins 03:42
I’ve become the fire. Burning behind my eyes, Hollowed out, but glowing in the night, burning, smoke rises in the skies, Am I consumed, or am I the one consuming? Once burned so brightly now there’s nothing left, nothing left to say I feel so wrong right now and I just can’t, I just can’t believe. Feel the anger climb up the walls, Once burned so brightly now there’s nothing left, nothing left to say I feel so wrong right now and I just can’t, I just can’t believe. I, don’t remember, when I felt alive / Rage, burns inside me, and claws its way outside Now, Let, It, Burn, Now, Let, It, Burn, To The Ground, Burn it to the Ground.
6.
How many miles have been walked in my shoes / Is this the path most traveled? Or is it the trail unused? / Where does the thread unravel? We can’t be bought / We can’t be sold / We can’t be taught / and we won’t be told, Confirm, Conform, Confirm, Conform, So many choices, so much consistency / Am I existence, or is existence me?
7.
It all started long ago, but where does it end, that’s what I need to know. What happens to me, my crew, my tribe? Our awareness is the blink of an eye / But can we expand, what’s the fate of our kind? Anti-matter entropy, stability declines. I’m gone, I’m long gone. From the tallest mountains to the smallest of the small The truth we can’t escape, we’re flying in freefall At the mercy of forces, more ancient than ourselves, Legends are forgotten, placed upon the shelves, Surrounded by everything, but still we find ourselves lost, Surrounded by nothing, but tatters of thoughts Ever more ambitious, guided by blinded eyes / How far must we explore, before we realize? The answers lie inside, The answers lie inside, I / idolize the sky / while we decline / we cannot survive / the test of time.
8.
Fragments 03:41
What once was true, is now a distant memory, Where an honest embrace, meets the chill of decay, and what we long for fades. Forgiveness is deserved, for those who yearn, To stitch back together, the snowflakes that burned. So little time, fate can open its arms, But we can’t rewrite the past, don’t be alarmed, When Fragments, scatter in the wind, Fragments, cast out from within, Betrayal, is salt for sowing / No greater wound, than knowing, We forgive but we don’t forget / Let the rains come, and the soil absorbs it.
9.
Underlying instability appears / Flaws in the system will now become severe. Our behavior will suddenly collapse / We model, we construct, elaborate, advance. Details emerge, changes come to light / Can’t avoid a spiral from motion so slight. We must not look back, we must go faster / frozen in conflict, this ends in disaster. We disagree / We ignore / We’re playing with fire.
10.
Apparitions 02:30
Better is one day now / than eternity with sustenance Bite the hand that feeds / and the nourishment ceases We’ve come too far / To make amends Take what you can / sow with your hand / only the end Do what you will / take what you want / it’s more than you need. But / but there is hope / for those with faith / We must not be / afraid to dream Of the impossible / The seemingly impossible can be reality / The impossible can be reality We’re a house of cards, in a hurricane. We’re a speeding train, on no track at all. We careen in the dark, thoughtless. This is our own will that we write, and we leave nothing behind. Apparitions of continuity teach us the truths that we choose to believe.
11.
Armor 03:06
I fear, doors that were once open are swinging shut My dear, things have gone well but now your time is up The next generation deserves a turn / And the world as you know it will burn Armor, won’t save you now / the cruel hand of fate will come down. Watching all my friends sink / destined to go extinct, Father, wrap me in armor / mother, I hope I don’t let you down too far. Follow me down the darkest path / we evolve and we don’t look back, No gold, can stay for too long / nothing can save you from where you belong / death Father, wrap me in armor / mother, I’ll be gone for the long haul, Sister, hold me like I’ll never fall / Brother, I don’t think I’ll be coming home. I fear, doors that were once open are swinging shut My dear, things have gone well but now your time is up The next generation deserves a turn / And the world as you know it will burn
12.
Inevitable 03:15
I know we’ve lost control. I’ve been told before / Everything I love will die Go back to where it was formed / Decay and return to the sky We’ve gone too far to turn back this time / We’ve lost control The hands are in motion / the fates will unfold Fear is the only freedom I have If it sounds like I’m leaving, I am / My time here is done, the end is at hand One voice among many is silent / but one voice alone can beg for a chance Our desperate pleas will go unheard.
13.
Live dying to be / anywhere but where you started, Die living to be / anything but empty-hearted Fill the void, left by the death / of what you dream of, with what you have left, Death is not the end, it’s just a part of it / Death is not the end, it’s just the start of it And when you turn the corner you find… Cold eyes speak, what a mouth can’t explain / Will you die in vain, will you die in pain? Or can you rebuild, when it falls apart/ Because death is the start, because death is the start. The ship is sinking, anchors are made of lead Wind blows through rotten sails, that only fill with dread / They only fill with dread The greatest loss / is what dies inside of us / when dreams get left behind.
14.
Endemic 00:44
Ten thousand trips around the sun / still want to destroy everyone, I’ll lie in wait and bide my time / but I can never be denied. Endemic
