My chains are paper thin, and they're welded with ink
Sealed inside a legal trap, so tight blood don't leak A contract with a devil, for a life of disdain See me in the limelight, an indentured slave! I blame myself God, help me pour this gas on me I need to drown in flames to be free Help me pour this gas on me Help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me Chock another product for the mass to consume The flocks of mindless sheep that have corporately groomed Ignorance through apathy, like drones in the hive A slave on the prayer wheel in conformed disguise I blame myself God, help me pour this gas on me I need to drown in flames to be free Help me pour this gas on me Help me pour this gas on me I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul I sold my soul God, help me pour this gas on me I need to drown in flames to be free Help me pour this gas on me Help me pour, this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me God help me pour this gas on me 02. Cyberwaste
Nothing you say matters to us
Nothing you say matters to us Fuck you Speak your worthless point of view A cog in the machine Your damn words are straight up lies Continue to deceive Nothing you say matters to us Nothing you say matters to us You are a virus spreading disease Your life is so sad spreading lies of me Nothing you say matters to us Nothing you say matters to us Fuck you Sow your seeds of ignorance You cyberparasite Seems you'll, say most anything to stab Me with your lies You are a virus spreading disease Your life is so sad spreading lies of me Reap what you sow Your words are shit You are a virus spreading disease Your life is so sad spreading lies of me Assume that you know my thoughts (All I want to do is see) Infect me with your disease (Tapping away on the keys) Change your face in front of me (Safe behind the cyberscreen) Wishing that you knew the truth (All I know is what I read) Nothing you say matters to us 03. Act Of God
In my eyes stagnation surrounds
Blood that life beaten and bound An act of mercy, a scene pain There is no difference It's all in your name This act of god Lights of fate brighten my eyes Fires of hate scourge through the sky Lost in your darkness, burned by your flame Forced to believe it's all in your name This act of god Honesty's heresy in this holy war Contradiction and affliction hardening my heart My heart.. Life conflicts with open decay Death restricts enlightenment Love is paradise hate is insane There is no difference it's all in your name This act of god Honesty's heresy in this holy war Contradiction and affliction hardening my heart My heart.. This act of god This act of god Holy war Holy war Honesty's heresy in this holy war Contradiction and affliction hardening my heart My heart.. 04. Default Judgement
Discrimination
Your intention to scar me Discrimination Your a suspect penalty I suffer! Spiteful resolution By your sentence we must fall Spiteful resolution Bitter thoughts destroy us all We suffer! Suffer! Your final judgement stands Made by your will I never had a chance I never will! By your default judgement Everyone has suffered Your pointless judgement Caused everyone to...suffer! Suffer! Your final judgement stands Made by your will I never had a chance I never will! Day in which god Judged humankind Day in which god Judged humankind Day in which god Judged humankind Day in which god Judged humankind Day in which god Judged humankind Day in which god Judged humankind Mankind Mankind Your final judgement stands Made by your will I never had a chance I never will! Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never 05. Corporate Cloning

You must never forget
The essence of your spark All of that which defines you Is the essence of your blood The infection has been removed The soul of this machine has improved The infection has been removed The soul of this machine has improved Look into my eyes And tell me what you see Someone real This is real What you wish to be You must never forget To modernize performance Malignancies on the system Will handicap slow up and rust The infection has been removed The soul of this machine has improved The infection has been removed The soul of this machine has improved Look into my eyes And tell me what you see Someone real This is real What you wish to be Fuck! Can you see Can you see Look into my eyes And tell me what you see Someone real This is real What you wish to be Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) 07. Drones
You waste away
A spinning cage Rats blinded by the sun You spend your days Stuck in that race And life has just begun In paradise there's ill neglect And lives are lost in full distress The wage of sin is money spent Your life undone full of regret We are lost in the maze Falling away And now your life Amounts to nothing The fortune has a price 'Cause in the end All humans die A dead drone in the hive In paradise there's ill neglect And lives are lost in full distress The weight of sin is memory spent Your life undone full of regret We are lost in the maze Falling away Falling away again... Falling away again... Falling away again... Falling away again... (again) Lost in the maze, Falling away Falling away again Falling away again Falling away again Falling away again 08. Bite The Hand That Bleeds...
I watch you tap the blood in my vein
My heart you feed on to keep you sustained A parasite that leaves me cold and drained I'm in shock and you leave me paralyzed And the saddest part I realize The absence of truth behind your eyes I feel you tapping my soul from my vein I feel you tapping again on my vein I feel my life slipping away One more drop of blood I spill One more drop you take One more drop and I will spite And bite the hand that bleeds... I see you have two faces turning Changing face to keep me guessing You have mastered the art of deceiving Now I know no one trusts you Now I know not even you do And I think, your salt in my wounds Now I know no one trusts you Now I know no one trust you Now I know your salt in my wounds One more drop of blood I spill One more drop you take One more drop and I will spite And bite the hand that bleeds Bite the hand that bleeds you One more drop of blood I spill One more drop you take One more drop and I will spite And bite the hand that bleeds Bite the hand that bleeds you You... 09. Bonescraper
There is no future for us to suture
Your life ill fated, beat down and hated Shot in the head, walking undead Numb to the world, around your head Rip my skin from my bones, I won't bleed Rip my heart from my chest , I won't scream Hide in the shadows, deep black, and hollow Empty void of light cuts lean, like a knife Damaged and torn, punctured by thorns I've felt nothing since I was born Rip my skin from my bones, I won't bleed Rip my heart from my chest , I won't scream My Flesh - You Flesh You Eyes - My Sight My Pain - Your Shame We are the same... Rip my skin from my bones, I won't bleed Rip my heart from my chest , I won't scream Rip my skin... 10. Undercurrent
Lies are all that we hear
Death your undertones of fear Lies are what causes fear Death you and all that I hear This in your eyes So clear your eyes Undercurrents We cannot believe Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Face me Look in my eye Hate me I see through your mind Face me You still cannot Hate me Drowning in lies Your lies can't hide So clear your mind Undercurrents We cannot believe Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Drown! Haha! Undercurrents We cannot believe Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Undercurrents Slowly drowning me Undercurrents Slowly drowning 11. Human Shields
So much violence in our name
A life, a silence masked in shame Children running in the streets Soldier boots are on their feet Mothers bare the burdens of our defeats Fathers are on their knees praying for mercy So much violence in our name Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield So much violence in our name A life, a silence masked in shame No more, no more, no more (no more) No more, no more, no more (no more) No more, no more, no more (no more) No more, no more, no more (no more) Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield No more violence in our name No more violence in our name No more, no more, no more 12.
