Consume & Mutate
02:22
|
|||
|
Decimation of a family line
Grab the children and run for your life
They arrive, smothering my homestead with death.
I know that I am being watched.
I feel that they are closing in.
I can’t stand this fucking hive mind surrounding me as I fall amongst the woodland.
Now I am less of a man, now I am just a fucking fool.
But I can save this, this fallen tree, give me its roots, I need this.
To solve this paradox – I didn’t ever want to be right.
I didn’t want, forgiveness. I didn’t need to be right.
All that’s left is to consume and mutate.

Truth Unwinds
03:05
|
|||
|
I’ve gone to where it all runs dry
I’ve seen the barren wastes we walk
Consolidating all of my thoughts together
Its where all lies come untwined
And where all truth eventually unwinds
Its where all lies come untwined
And where all truth unwinds
History is spoken in earnest, but we’ve fallen prey to our ego
I know we’re not fucking perfect, but we can be better
I’ll chase the sunset screaming
No time for normal now
Maybe when everything’s over, when the dust has settled.
Can you conceive the truth yet?
Can we all stand together?
No one else can comprehend the things that I’ve seen
These broken fingertips carry the weight of a useless life
Ten feet deep
It’s all just a sham
Destroy, repent, evolve
This is impossible
I can’t focus on anything.
Every day it gets a little easier.
Destroy, repent, evolve
This is impossible.

Binary Thoughts
01:23
|
|||
|
Pins of every colour
Track them through the line
We wait, hiding in plain sight
The crime machine, nobodies clean.
Binary thoughts that learn from the past
What used to be a secret is there for us to see
Study the code, predict the future
Normalized
The crime machine, nobodies clean.
Contempt by association becoming segregation

Deserter House
02:15
|
|||
|
I feel the levees are crumbling
They taste of salt and ash
No warning,
We’re mutating to dust and ash
We are changing without the times
No warning for us
We father,
We break down,
We hit the ground patiently
And we’ll decide which one is worse
I see the levees have broken
We’ll all be washed away
To be with the sinners
I’ve tried but it’s gone too far
We’re breaking the habit,
We’ve gone too far
Oh Mother
Help me crawl my way back
No further
There is no way back
No further
There is no way back home
No further
There is no way back

Better Get Better
01:47

Cursed and left to die just so you can pay
Your fucking way, well fuck it, destroy all that’s left
And fuck up our fate
Lying and twisting and crawling over the floor
That’s just the price that we pay
And it better get better, time to change all our lives
Better get better.
By the end of my sordid life
I’d like to see a change, a reliable change of life,
And times, and growth, and death and all that’s between
In between the between
It better get better, time to change all our lives
Life in the desert
Better get better, time to change all our lives
Life in the desert
Time to change all our lives
Possible contradictions
Impossible situations
Black Flag

Painted
03:06
|
|||
|
We painted and painted and waited for the colours to bleed into one.
We’re chasing the feeling that brings us closer to touching our god.
I’ve faked all my faith and fucked all my life.
For a piece of his garden, just a slither of hope.
But I can’t fake this anymore. Goodbye.
A childish feat and a childish thought.
Just so you could be the one, the one with the cross.
I stand on the shoulders of my failures.
Faces blend together in this familiar blackened swamp.
What lives in the shadows? God.
I’d rather live in my memories where everything used to feel real.
Live in realities that we choose.
Be brave as the walls close in.
Save face as your walls cave in.
Burn your priceless trinkets and say grace.

The Mountain
02:00
|

Complete surprise
Completely surprised to see you
I was told to be here but I can’t remember your name
At the end of the day, at the end of my arm
Today we paint a mountain, and then we sing a song
Because nothing ever tastes the way it’s meant to.
Here’s what a simultaneous break will do to us.

The Trees

Life rift, that you’re sure to believe,
Cos it’s like seeing a likeness, that shit can’t be unseen
Get out before the cops surround the house
Or was that just me that heard it?
I swear I can see so clearly now
I can hear them creeping in the bushes
Comedown, no this feelings to great,
But it’s a feeling of crisis, one that I can’t escape
They exist to bring forth another,
To reanimate and metastasize.
Stay here to protect your faith
Why can’t I see the creatures creep beneath me?
Comedown, no this feelings to great
Cos it’s like seeing a likeness,
One that I can’t escape
Life rift that you’re sure to believe
Cos it’s like seeing a likeness, that shit can’t be unseen.
Brace yourself for impact
Brace, brace, brace for impact.
Pulling feelings that seep into my brain
And out through my mouth.
Everything else
This fear that breeds inside me
It rots, all the trees here have fallen
This fear that live inside me
It rots, everything else is dead.
This fear that breeds inside me
It rots, all the trees here have fallen.

Brand New Working Man
03:01
|
|||
|
There’s a lie inside myself and I can’t think straight
Plagiarising empty headed thoughts
And melodies and everything between
What is right is not the answer
The creative process slowly becomes unfamiliar
Convoluted
The reason that you don’t is why
You’re convoluted,
You think your passion’s peaked, that’s fine
Working hands, blood from a stone
Pulling from an open wound
Look at yourself and breathe it deep
Brand new working god
Convoluted
The reason that you don’t is why
You’re convoluted,
You think your passion’s peaked, that’s fine.
