(Instrumental)

Lie Awake
It's all give and take
Wretched place that you've never known
As you've made your way
Through the cemetery
Of mistakes that you've never made
Debts that you've never paid

Most precious waste
You could never throw away
Just one more taste
And you're never gonna stray

Welcome to your fix
When you thought you had kicked
Some things just never go away
Ingrained though hazy as memories fade
Save those ones that you've never made

Most precious waste
You could never throw away
Just one more taste
And you're never gonna stray

We are what you have made
The world engulfed in flames
And I'm no modern man
This is no modern land

Give me your process
Your pathetic progress
Bury me in the ultimate tomb
Give me your process
Your pathetic progress
A posthumous prosthetic womb

Not a second too late
As you storm the gates
With the force of a thousand
Blood rush to your head
Gives you strength
That you've never had

Most precious waste
You could never throw away
Just one more taste
And you're never gonna stray

We are what you have made
The world engulfed in flames
And I'm no modern man
This is no modern land

Says the feral instinctual side,
"The thrill of the hunt."
Says the prophet of all that's been said and done,
"Savor the kill"

Unsettled severance un-done
A non living presence will never grow
Until you fall overblown
Transcend to the beat
Separate from the world of thought
The world of belief
I don't show what you already know
I'm plagued with relief
Out in plain view for all to see
They'd never believe
Compelled to separate the needs
From all you've wanted the world to see

I'm no better than the animal in everybody
Changing your mind
Keeping your life in the wild
Have you ever noticed
Everyone who thinks they know the answer is wrong
A vision a saying a song

You are the fall
No master of your domain
There is no law

I'm no better than the animal in everybody
Changing your mind
Keeping your life in the wild

Go out into the cold dark night
Show your survival your progress your plight
I'm no better than
I'm no better than
I'm no better than the animal

Breathe your every breath
Self obsessed
A sensational place
Your winning hand
Cripples this impoverished state
Your business here
I don't care
You're not welcome to feed yourself to death
It's just not ever gonna be enough

So chemical
Every scent you wear
A bath in shit
All flesh and hair
Among the squeals and the selfish prayers
I never knew you were never there

Need you think you need
So you live so lustfully
Peel the skin away
We're all the same
Until you taste yourself
But all you want is more
An insatiable breed
And you will know the slaughterhouse
The happy home

Pigs
They think they own you
Every pig can smell where you've been
Everybody knows a pig
That wants to reform you
All those pigs
They're all soulless beasts

A subtle mount
A ripe affair
I'll be your accomplice anywhere
And I don't know if you even care
A cloven hoof in the mouth
Beware

And I've never known the difference
Between man and swine
Of rabid sex
So self-aware
It happens all the time
I want you sick and slovenly
I want you all the time
No common lines to hide behind
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time

And with the presence of power
Comes the rebellion of innocence
We're in this all for each other
Lifetime reversal in decline
Commencing countdown
The times has come
Battle lines are drawn
Commit the ashes back to the earth
Lifetime no decline or falling back
To the end of the line

You've known the secret all along
Never stayed where you belong
A battleground that you adore
A heavy heart in a savage world

This is a war
With love as a weapon
When all that you've lived for is gone
Heavily armed
Stay ready for anything
I don't believe the innocent night or day
I'm at the mercy of all I say
I don't give anything away
I don't give anything away

You've known the secret all along
Never stayed where you belong
A battleground that you adore
A heavy heart in a savage world
And its a savage world

One that I've never known
Out of the safety of your home

This is a war
With love as a weapon
When all that you've lived for is gone
Heavily armed
Stay ready for anything
I don't believe the innocent night or day
I'm at the mercy of all I say
I don't give anything away

I can't feel anything
I don't respond to pleasure or pain
A vapid void, neglected toy
Saturate in shame
Is it better than, better than the rest
Or does this end with abruptness
shallow at best
I don't know anyone
I don't know anything but this
Met with either the calm or massive resistance
And at the end of your everyday disaster
Does it keep getting faster

Awaiting patiently as the circle completes
It's finally coming around
But when the smoke has cleared it's been another year
Of wasting and running around

I don't know anyone
I don't know anything but this
Met with either the calm or massive resistance
And at the end of your everyday disaster
Does it keep getting faster

Awaiting patiently as the circle completes
It's finally coming around
But when the smoke has cleared it's been another year
Of wasting and running and finally coming around

Oh you're in the cross hairs
Did you ever know
You're in the process of phasing out
War for peace every
Treaty written in blood
Struck down with disease

Get away
Give up the prospects of better days
They're over
You're washed up

Against your own kind
The animal
Cannibalistic inseparable
War for peace
Every treaty written in blood
Struck down with disease

Innovations of warring clans
Sacrificial the contracts of man
Devoid of purpose or precedence
A selfish existence
Violent by nature

Get away
Give up the prospects of better days
They're over you're washed up

I'm a masochistic machine
I shit where I fuck where I eat
So don't ever listen to anything I say
'Cause I just don't believe
Anything anymore
And I've lied to myself
And I've stolen so much more

But all I need is something that's new
All that I've made I can't undo
All I need is someone like you
You're never lost
I'm not confused

Fates lie to me
Lie to the faces
Of all that believe in faith
The price of virtue
Paid in full
Is it all that you've worked for

I'm out of balance with the earth
Out of rhythm with the moon
Just a savage primal being
To the modern world
Immune
To the modern world
Immune

There is no solace this way
I know you want me as an enemy
I know you want all you can never see
But we're all living in purgatory

Damned
It's all a part of the plan
Wherever you walk
And everywhere that you stand
You stand in the way

Another cycle ends too soon
Another season of monsoons
Just a savage primal being
To the modern world
Immune

There is no solace this way
I know you want me as an enemy
I know you want all you can never see
But we're all living in purgatory

Ascendance
Pretending
Immortal wandering
Look to the skies
Look to the heavens
For guidance or lies

And through the depths of oblivion
Lies your living salvation

I'm out of balance with the earth
Out of rhythm with the moon
Just a savage primal being

And now it's over
And there's no way to find the solace today
I know you want me as enemy
I know you want all you can never see
We're all living in purgatory
It's so ordinary
Human oratory
We're all living in purgatory

Severed into separates
We are
Segmentary habitats
All that we know
Never has the structure
Gotten through
Place everyone into a maze
Watch them run around the race

Work your life away
End up in the streets
Oh the price you'll pay
Never be at ease
The need to be together
Or put in your place
Muzzled bound and tethered
A compromise you make

Involuntary crime
Flares up
A solitary life
Masks the mass hysteria
And you should know
This is no area to be alone

So work your life away
End up in the streets
Oh the price you'll pay
To never be at ease
The need to be together
Or put in your place
Muzzled bound and tethered
A compromise you make

Your process leads you
Where your thoughts misread you
A peasant once removed
Brand new set of rules
They'll never leave you
Once you shelter and feed them
Supplemented and synchronized

Work your life away
End up in the streets
Oh the price you'll pay
Never be at ease
The need to be together
Or put in your place
Muzzled bound and tethered
A compromise you make

This strategy won't change
It's over when never do you gain
And always you win
And tragedy remains
Though we're given every chance to change
We don't listen
Just pass the blame

Sing over decay
Blood flowing the wrong way
A constant state of refusal
Now it's too late

When you're ready you will see
The maker's always been within your hands
Destroyer at your feet

Save every resolution you never could create

When your way is the only way
You can't look at yourself and say "I was wrong"
You've got the head of the king
On the body of a pawn

The passion of a storm
The contemplation in the eye
Of a separatist within our midst
A loyalist divide

When your way is the only way
You can't look at yourself and say "I was wrong"
You've got the head of a king
On the body of a pawn

When it's not the life you want
What answers do you need
Want everything up front
Prepare to meet defeat
When it's not the life you want
What answers do you need
Want everything up front

Such turbulence
Such turbulence won't go away
Silence never stays
Such sympathies
Such sympathies will never fade
Some are never made
Never made

All living is all knowing
Or so you thought
But it's never been the same

When your way is the only way
You can't look at yourself and say 'I was wrong'
You've got the head of a king
On the body of a pawn
Is this all the result of conflict

You know that we're not all so different
We share the same space
Or find a better place
And I'd give
I'd give anything
If this would all stop
Let me walk away

(Instrumental)

I'm that face you think you recognized
Saw you in a dream
Saw your life flash by
Hallucinating
Looking through the crooked glass prison Within
A prism like existence

We'll never know the truth
We'll never get a chance
To undo or relive our youth

Put ever sacred place in a state of stasis
Nonentities
And I'm the bitter release
I'm the better disease
Come down with me

A secondary life
To precede visions from your past
Feeling that you've saved the worst for last
you're on the path prepared to misstep
It's never where you go
It's who you've seen
And the impressions that you leave

We'll never know the truth
We'll never get a chance to undo
Or relive our youth

Put every sacred place in a state of stasis
Nonentities
And I'm the bitter release
I'm the better disease
Come down with me
Come down with me
Come down with me

Your life in control
Separated
What we know and who we are

Put every sacred place in a state of stasis
Nonentities
And I'm the bitter release
I'm the better disease
Come down with me

Beyond the life you
The life you know
As a phantom
As a phantom
