Signs 02:30

Awake – Daybreak on our lives Undrape the exposing light Espousing a lifetime lie Ignoring the warning signs Breeding error, they’re bleeding Exceeding pleasure - feeding Stiff breath, spent in thoughts of freeing Fiending, but not receiving <SOLO> (Awake!) (Right now) (See the signs) Right now! Throw it on the ground Your life is in your hands now Content without control You bought it An all-inclusive hole to rot in Prescribed dependency No empathy You see the signs? You see the… Signs!

Truth Hurts 05:16
lyrics

First do no harm That’s what you said Was that a vow or just a line you read? Are you feeling well? So sorry to wake you Maybe there’s something wrong with my head No skin off your back No sweat You’re guaranteed a check While I’m up to my neck in debt! By the time you show up I may already be dead That said… Why can’t you See the pain you’ve caused? At what cost? I’m lost… Truth hurts You’ll see that it was all a lie In time… You fucked up our youth Will you ever get it? No! You’re not repentant You never meant it All non-players afraid to die Their hidden faces eager to comply We don’t believe you anymore! Coward, traitor! Well paid grave maker Helping yourselves, forsaking souls A hypocritic oath You all swore! Why can’t you See the pain you’ve caused? At what cost? I’m lost… Truth hurts You’re living in a fantasy Your life… Is not your own <INSTRUMENTAL> God bless Your Self-absorbance! <SOLO> I can’t slip silently into the fold Unnoticed A beating heart is audible It won’t go quietly to the tune of surrender First do no harm That’s what you said!

Well good for you You’ve found a way to Disassociate every day Your broken psyche Brought upon by Unadulterated self-absorbance God bless your patronage Rinse and repeat <INSTRUMENTAL> Are your wrists and thumbs sore yet? <INSTRUMENTAL> Do you like the view? Looking down Detached from the world around You're lost! <INSTRUMENTAL> Left in your hands Only your fans <INSTRUMENTAL> Life Is more Than a scene Played out on a screen We can’t survive like this <INSTRUMENTAL> And don’t forget To like and subscribe Share this with your friends And ring that fucking bell For your god!

[“Speakeasy chatter…”] (He was never here…) Whispered rep. (Didn’t you hear?) Whispered in the middle (He was never here…) Whispered rep. There’s no such thing as no and yes is quite impressed By shiny coins that toss and bed high upon my chest Once comfort meets with me In truth – you’ve lied with less You’ll beg to pay for more One’s home becomes my flesh Bigger than most But not big enough to matter Nicer for those Who have coin to make them matter Cutting it close But no further up the ladder Quiet enough But not quite, enough <INSTRUMENTAL> The definitive limited dividend Of every citizen Unaware of the horrible situation That they’re living in Come and consummate In the tainted virginity of a saint Drink it all away It’s all included in your stay We’ll be your host But we’ll make you even sadder Hip ‘cause we chatter Come join us and get fatter Mad as a hatter If you think this all sounds queer Name sake doesn’t matter ‘Cause he was never here He was never here <INSTRUMENTAL> Bigger than most Nicer for those Cutting it close But not quite, enough We’ll be your host Hip ‘cause we chatter Mad as a hatter Name sake doesn’t matter ‘Cause he was never…
