Corruption

Verse 1
She comes into a darkened room
Too late for her you must assume
Corrupted, broken yellow skin
Too long the poison lies within
Chorus
I’ll trade it all (I’ll trade it all)
I’ll trade it all (I’ll trade it all)
Not to live this way
Verse 2
So long you’ve lived this life of sin
Allow the toxins to creep in
Corrupted, broken by your lies
A life you surely must despise
Chorus
I’ll trade it all (I’ll trade it all)
I’ll trade it all (I’ll trade it all)
Not to live this way

Dying
05:08
|
|
||
Verse 1
Existing
I barely move but I can’t stand to lift a finger
Smiling
My lips they move but inwardly I am screaming
Chorus
This is not the way to be now
I won’t let failure drag me down
Verse 2
Bleeding
The blood pumps out
But my black heart just keeps on beating
Dying
One last glimpse, this earthly life is merely fleeting
Chorus
This is not the way to be now
I won’t let failure drag me down

Alone
05:57
|
|
||
Verse 1
It's like me to forget
the reason I stayed away
The stress of interference
dragging me down day by day
The hills alive with treason
you don't believe what you say
I've got to do my duty
then we all must go our way
Chorus
Alone x 4
(I want you to need me)
Verse 2
To see you sitting there
I know I must not interfere
The lust of other members
Already is far too clear
With hindsight I should
Just have killed him on that day
To save betrayal
and a debt I cannot repay.
Chorus
Alone x 4
(I want you to need me)

You Waste My Time
05:05
|
|
||
Verse 1
Never know just what you think.
So out of touch it made me sick.
Your lack of time your lack of care.
You never saw the distance there.
Verse 2
Do you ever stop and think?
The situations you create.
I've wasted too much time on you.
Nothing you say ever rings true.
Verse 3
Your lies have become more ornate.
Turning loyalty to hate.
Alienate the ones who care.
You'll turn around and find no one there.
You think you’re something special Yet we’re trapped in this cage You act like you’re entitled I stand here screaming with rage.
You sit and watch your life pass, while others fight in vain, you waste my time in this hell in which we’re detained.

Myopic
05:04
|
|
||
Verse 1
Myopic rendering of lies
A whole life-time has passed you by
Let down the ones you love again
An old age slave for short term gain
Chorus
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so long
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so…
Verse 2
And how did you sink so low
And was there nowhere else to go
A lifetime’s lies have led you here
Life’s twilight intermingled fear
Chorus
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so long
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so…
Chorus
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so long
I know what you wanted to be
I know what you’ve taken from me so…

Failed Light
10:03
|
|
||
Verse 1
Failed light
No sleep till dawn
Dark night
Ghosts time to haunt
Slow dive
Sink deeper still
Out of sight
Until I am gone
Verse 2
Frost bite
Left out alone
black light
Lost in the drone
Haze clears
One remains near
Return
Hope lingers here
I've waited for this moment too long x 2
I've waited for this moment too long x 2

Spider Feet
05:55
|
|
||
Verse 1
We're all in it now, no hiding in the darkened ages
If you're not there then you don't exist
Bridge
Feel safe stay away (second time round)
Verse 2
These lines of communication, more open than before
Bewilder the outdated
Bridge
Fear of missing out
Can't keep ignoring change
Chorus
I can't keep up I'm all at sea
Held back by casual urgency
This creeping thread runs rings around everything
Verse 3
Exponential progress leaves us exposed,
To the dark arts of entertainment
The illusion drags us in
Bridge
Fear of missing out
Fear overload and change
Chorus
I can't keep up I'm all at sea
Held back by casual urgency
This creeping thread runs rings around everything

Lost Hope
06:34
|
|
||
Verse 1
When did I start to feel this old?
Like my future was long since sold.
Stretch away from me
A path I cannot see
I don't know the face that stares at me
Perhaps I've spent too long in fantasy.
The dreams are growing thin
Washed out from within
Chorus
I never meant to end up this way
I don't know that I have much left to say
Verse 2
Relevance is a fleeting thing
We missed our chance at fitting in.
What colour will I bleed?
As night descends on me?
The failure weighs hard with me
And no one else seems to see
I’ve pulled this weight too long,
I never did belong.
Chorus
We're lost in unfamiliar seas
Where virtual worlds dictate whom we should be.
(I've lost hope x 3)

Moths to the Flame
05:34
|
|
||
Verse 1
Cut off your tongue
Cut off your tongue that taints the hive
Must stop the words
Must stop the cartoon fetish outrage
Don't give them credence, sever all your natural instinct from the hive mind
Chorus
It's not the poison in the pen
Or even pity on the quiet tide
It's the attention that increases all the time
Verse 2
Cut off your tongue
Cut off that tongue that taints the hive
Cut off those fingers
Cut off those fingers that defy
Kill off the source, sensationalist devotees
They hide behind
Chorus
It's not the poison in the pen
Or even pity on the quiet tide
It's the attention that increases all the time
Obese contempt and self-importance we don't need
It's not the poison in the pen
Or even pity on the quiet tide
It's the attention that increases all the time
Obese contempt and self-importance we don't need
Moths to the Flame, moths to the flame
Can't we put it out somehow?
Moths to the Flame, moths to the flame
Ignite a larger fire for now
Moths to the Flame, moths to the flame
Can't we put it out somehow?
Moths to the Flame, moths to the flame
Ignite a larger fire for now

In Silent Reproach
04:49
|
|
||
Verse 1
In silent reproach I sit
and watch my dreams all torn down
a life controlled from outside
my choices all denied
Chorus
I trusted you to save me
I trusted you to believe
I trusted you to save me
I trusted you to believe in me
Verse 2
I was too easily cowed
I should have held on to myself
the years I spent in turmoil
stripped of all self-belief
Chorus
I trusted you to save me
I trusted you to believe
I trusted you to save me
I trusted you to believe in me

Alienation
06:19
|
|
||
Verse 1
Never found a way to be
They tear chunks right out of me
Held up high on public show
No one really wants to know
Verse 2
Don't you see they wanted this?
And this isn't one to miss.
I can't hold my grasp you see
I guess nothing's ever free
Verse 3
I can't look myself in the eye
I don't even want to try
Compromised and set aside
Can it really be set right.
