When I Leave
04:12
|

the wires that keep you close to me
your screams, your desperate little pleas
those hopes sneaking through your mind
I'll teach you to leave those all behind
that fear you're feeling is real
that's part of the appeal
you can never follow me
you'll still be here when I leave
love, if only you could see
well don't you know your dreams belong to me
you're just a picture that I made
so sit down, get back in your cage
I will rip this place apart
unplug your dirty little heart
believe what you want to believe
but you'll still be here when I leave

We've Been Here Before
04:05
|
|||
|
as I was walking down the highway
in the sea of burned out cars
in seats just blackened skeletons
empty eyes and screaming jaws
the planets hung suspended
in the sky, a violent red
and in the stillness there I heard
the chorus of the dead
rust
blood
feels so fucking good
lust
feed
you cannot succeed
well I'll burn the sun and I'll drown the moon
I'll profane the temple and I'll shine my spoon
I'll dig the mountains and dam the streams
I'll do all the things best left in dreams
I'll ride the lions bewitch the crows
they'll tell me where your secrets go
I'll drink the ocean salt the fields
and you will see my truth revealed

Hitchhiker Effect
03:52
|
|||
|
voices come from the debris
and dying isn't what it seems
there's layers inside of layers inside
where the wounded creatures bleed
my aether-mouth is calling out
from places you have failed to hide
it's burrowed deep inside of me
I fear it now compels my mind
something came back
something came back
something came back
in me
can't let it go
can't let it go
can't let it go
it feeds
raised to lead you royal pig
while jelly-sticky walls enclosed
the matter pink and slick with greed
what it wants, it gets, we know
helpless to defend ourselves
our ships wrecked onto distant shores
let the truth envelop you
'til nothing matters anymore

κανείς δεν σε σώζει
kaneís den se sózei
no one can save you
το τέλος είναι εδώ
to télos eínai edó
the end is here
μιλάς αληθινά
milás alithiná
you speak truly
οι φωτιές καίνε
oi fotiés kaíne
the fires are burning
always in your mind

Allesthesia
03:27
|
|||
|
when you stroll
in the evening
do you think the world's spinning
to move you
to where
you wanted to be
and are you
alone in
that dead-end alley
or is that
the sound
of a thousand small teeth
ah
allesthesia
I touched you
you saw me
moving discretely
smiling
politely
beneath the white sheet
your senses
unfolding
reality unfurling
the voice is
inside of
the mouth when it speaks
who was that
singing
her hands they were bleeding
deceived
by ennui
she washes your feet
the tides
they have risen
I'm granted a vision
the sun
will devour
with tempestuous heat

Rising of the Lights
04:12
|
|||
|
as I walked along the marble palace
faces turned to me contorted
egos broken and distorted
lives were given and were taken
breaking down
want to kill me
disengage
can't escape it
I gave up
gave up
I gave up
gave up
in places where the stars collided
the spirals there they dance and glow
society's a mid-way-station
offices our living tombs

Transcendental Circuitry
04:09
|
|||
|
this is where I make my machines
and everyone means something to me
I hope someday that you will understand
and come to see the beauty in all my plans
I can perfect your soul
burn the neurons make you whole
open up your inner eye
wires neatly tucked inside
wither old morality
we're beyond that, now we're free
listen as the pistons hiss
transcendental metal bliss
there was something locked inside my brain
an endlessly repeating loop of psychic pain
well I have found my means of escape
where everything's eternal, nothing left to break
flesh it cracks and turns to dust
I'd rather bathe in oil and rust
distributed in sleek arrays
every single node ablaze
I'm not one but many now
hear us screaming with no mouth
a brand new cyber deity
transcendental circuitry

Cold Eyes
05:13
|
|||
|
always your turn
follow your lead
who to trust
who to breed
cold eyes
watched you from the shore
I saw it crashing
burning bright
oh the faces
oh the fright
memories
I'll leave you those
last departure
last repose
cold eyes
watched you from the shore
I saw it crashing
burning bright
oh the faces
oh the fright

It Wants You
04:00
|
|||
|
something you once said to me is sticking in my mind
"don't you follow after me you won't like what you find"
everything's restricted here, these mysteries are mine
you want to know the truth well I just want to keep you blind
it wants you
cede your sin
it wants you
breathe it in
picking up the pieces you left broken on the floor
you were such a precious thing you knew what was in store
and now you're begging to go back to how it was before
all the money that you stole can't save you anymore
it wants you
cede your sin
it wants you
breathe it in

The Sacrifice
04:58
|
|||
|
we met on then sacred land
feeling something close at hand
prophets demand sacrifice
made our children pay that price
what is happening to us
I can't take it, it's too much
please just make this go away
we were faithful, we obeyed
for want of space we burned the trees
we had banks, we had TVs
pestilence was the refrain
rats were fed on rotten grain
you can never trust your gods
they just covet what you've got
bathe your masters' swollen feet
burn their homes while they're asleep
|

serfs stood watching as the fires burned
fancy party cut short, lessons learned
one side taking what the other earned
let us free you from your worldly concerns
this is what you get
for all your avarice
don't you forget
you all asked for this
you keep on taking
while we get broken and cold
no more second chances
no excuses heads must be rolled
our children dancing where we keep you all confined confined
our palettes unfit, and our thoughts so unrefined
you all shrieking, thinking that this can't be real
your absolution only comes from shafts of steel
this is what you get
for all your avarice
don't you forget
you all asked for this
you keep on taking
while we get broken and cold
no more second chances
no excuses heads must be rolled

self-taught man
he's on "X" today
and I exist in a single way
and Annie wrote
but she won't call
'cause I got something wrong
inside of my skull
the city's nice
when church lets out
the meat street strollers
look so devout
but my hands they tremble
my pen falls
'cause I got something wrong
inside of my skull
they could lock me up
give me a pill
that will the whole damn world start standing still
will you take me to the harbor, oh, John Paul
'cause I got something wrong
inside of my skull
