Encircles 05:31
Roping your mind With all they eyes We're never free From the binds And wrong way signs That circle me. Keep falling back Encircles. We're finding black Encircles. And falling all around us in circles. Programmed right inside us in circles. Entropy is walking us in circles. It's such a shame To live this way Incoming nothing. We replicate Our human waste In cycles. Keep falling back Encircles. Keep losing slack Encircles. And falling all around us in circles. Programmed right inside us in circles. Entropy is walking us in circles. Well I don't know where I am no more. I'll lead you all back home. I'll lead you all down this road Back to your home. In circles. You're not alone In circles. Just follow me home I'll bring you back In circles. I'll lead you all back home. I'll lead you all down this road Back to your home. In circles. You're not alone In circles. Just follow me home I'll bring you back In circles.

I used to be on fire; Rising up like limbs. I used to toe the wire; Slice me up again. Incinerate, The flames medicate. Gut me upside down And carve a new face out. I used to feel the fire; Now it's just malaise. I used to fear the end; You don't know where I've been. Incinerate, The flames medicate. Gut me upside down And carve a new face out. Blades crack the ice That's frozen me inside. Acid rain and razor winds Shearing off my skin. Obliterate, The dark permeates. Shadows on the ground. Vultures bearing down. Blades crack the ice That's frozen me inside. Acid rain and razor winds Shearing off my skin. Wasted mind; you've stolen mine. . .

No More 03:36
I'm checking out for the last time. I'm checking out for the last time. Don't come back no more. I'm not coming back anymore. Cause I don't care at all anymore. Cause I don't care at all anymore. You stole it all from inside me. You stole it all from inside me. Cause I don't care at all anymore. Cause I don't care at all anymore. I'm checking out for the last time.

Was outside today; The trees all gave way. I walked through the maze And passed through the gates. I chased back the shade, To gather up the rays. And fall; a surrogate. Stand tall in the thick of it. Don't fall; a surrogate. We're all gonna lose it again. I rise through the fog; Weightless and strong. And fall; a surrogate. Stand tall in the thick of it. Don't fall; a surrogate. We're all gonna lose it again. Strung along. . . again.

Lie in wait 05:30
Come to with the sound of the bell Another day in your personal hell. Robotic legs take you to your job Where the drone of the day turns into a throb. Pain awakens around midday Nothing that a drink won't take away. This is how the normals do Living just like the flies do. Well you know I haven't been well Oh, the stories the shadows can tell. Everyone's a comedian Until the snake comes to strike at them. This is how the normal's do Living just like the flies do. I am the snake That lies in wait. I am the snake I hope you're awake. It's waiting for you. Don't forget the truth. I am the snake That lies in wait. I am the snake I hope you're awake. It's waiting for you. Don't forget the truth. It's waiting for you. Don't forget the truth

Let's start here Can you read between the lines? And see clear Through your abiotic eyes? Let's be clear And say just what we mean For once in life Can we do without the sheen? But hear me out I think I can explain That you're haunting my soul And possessing my brain. I'm feeling your eyes Burning holes in my frame While you scrutinize Every mistake A mutation Inserted in the lines Radiation This bubbling flesh of mine. You spread fear Through the cable lines. And commandeer All their vacant minds. But hear me out I think I can explain That you're haunting my soul And possessing my brain. I'm feeling your eyes Burning holes in my frame While you scrutinize Every mistake But hear me out I think I can explain That you're haunting my soul And possessing my brain. I'm feeling your eyes Burning holes in my frame While you scrutinize Every mistake that I make.

Before 06:09
You're lodged inside my brain. Move like sludge down the drain. Stuck to the gears that move My world and everything I do. Now we're to the point of letting go. Now the world won't touch you anymore. Before the world I loved your soul. Before the world you used to glow. You're the lions that swallow me whole. I'm the fodder to your cattle. She's the straw that breaks my back. I'm just waiting for the final slap. Now we're to the point of letting go. Now the world won't touch you anymore. Before the world I loved your soul. Before the world you used to glow.

Astray 03:55
Dawn of the second day... New eyes; refreshed, awake. Can't help but supplicate. The prettiest face is fake. This bed of nails Underneath Never fails To please. Rise up and stop the rain. I'll head south and change my name. You're being led astray. My life can't be washed away. This bed of nails Underneath Never fails To please. In a daze they keep us. I'll never let them reach us. You will never be Anything but meat.

Slackjaw 04:11
With all the up and down And back and forth It seems more trouble than it's really worth. In all the sunken eyes That I see I know you're laughing, making a fool of me. But it's okay with me. Let's stare at the slackjaw He's lost control. Let's stare at the slackjaw Gravel throat. After all the lions have stripped my bones Maybe my father can save my soul. But it's okay with me. Let's stare at the slackjaw He's lost control. Let's stare at the slackjaw Gravel throat. Without the pain I'm free. Let's stare at the slackjaw He's lost control. Let's stare at the slackjaw Gravel throat. Without the pain I'm free.

Nothing 04:16
Kick the can down the road As far as can go. Ascribe a false sense of hope. Measure out a length of rope. Cause I feel nothing at all And I can't be here anymore. And I feel nothing today There is nothing in my way. Drop a line into the well Where's the bottom, can you tell? Drop a coin into the black It goes for miles but still no splash. And I feel nothing at all And I can't be here anymore. The taste of blood can bring you back I still don't know how to act. The weight has dawned on me.

Sayonara 06:15
I guess I got bit Well, so long my friend. This will destroy us Or be heaven. Got stuck on this shit I'm a weak man like that. You saw it in me And laid out a trap. I need to leave Out the backdoor. Leave all these useless things I bled so much for. I need to leave From this shit storm Before you drag me back Through the hell that lives in my heart. So say sayonara To what might have been. A chance like this Might not come again. There's a layer of dirt That covers my skin And no matter how hard I scrub I can't get clean again. I need to leave Out the backdoor. Leave all these useless things I bled so much for. I need to leave From this shit storm Before you drag me back Through the hell that lives in my heart.
