Sentience

Everyday strung out to dry
Night we’re getting high
Tracing the outlines
And we ask why
Can there be more to this
Or is this all there is
living just to die
Like Ozymandias
I’ve been walking inside my head
Asking myself again
Is this real or just a dream
Are we alive or dead
The loneliness that we all feel
Silence so defining
Is this the right path for us
Or have we been mislead
Just trying to maintain
A certain discipline
In this counterfeit
Permanence
Black wholes cast my gaze
In fear of the grave
A dance decadent
Evident
into the void
Swim against the current through
The river wide
Wicked flags we’re forced to fly
Under The boots solid grip crush
the claustrophobic hyper cube
Psychopaths don’t feel the shame
We just stand by
Swallow the lie just force it down through the pores into
That same same sound
That same same sound
The sky that’s falling
The bridge is burning
Another victim of the circumstance
To Die alone in towers of that State of mind
Can you handle it
Live not with regret
Can you handle it
So help me
Can you handle it
Live not with regret
Can you handle it

Eye in the sky
The watcher sees
The comings and goings of you and me
Fed into an algorithm beast
All To benefit society
Copy and paste
Future formulate
The watcher learns from past mistakes
Saving data extrapolate
The cipher of consciousness
State of mind
Creation
State of mind
The data mine
We give away
The watcher sees you every day
Habitual and ritual
The map of your soul
- ( little roll )-half riff
-
Eye in the sky
The watcher sees
The comings and goings of you and me
Fed into an algorithm beast
All To benefit society
Copy and paste
The future a waste
The watcher planning for your fate
In the digits feel the weight
The Dawning of sapience
State of mind
Creation
State of mind
Creation
State of mind
Creation

Intro 4( drum)
Prediction of mass movement
Crush decent endless amusement
The future is here and now
Racing towards the singularity
A technocratic autocracy

Why is it so hard to conceive
this man with his heart on his sleeve
crawls into you because he has to breath
counting days until its time to leave
Why this dream of
nonsense clouds our minds
falling behind just marking time
I like this this lie we swallow
force it down all through the pores
another round until we all
hear the same sound
like this
No time for retrospection
tonight
no time to close my eyes
standby watching as we grow so old
this is so real
I like this this lie we swallow
force it down all through the pores
another round until we all
hear the same sound
like this
Oooh same sound
I like this this lie we swallow
force it down all through the pores
another round until we all
hear the same sound
hear the same sound
hear the same sound
hear the same sound
same same sound

War Criminal

Busy man make the deal
Better think who turns the wheel
Parasite on the producer
White collar thug consumer
You think that it's all ok
Born and bread the American way
Everyman is just a mark
Broad strokes on the canvas so dark
Had enough of your conceit
Get your power off the weak
Think it's always going to be this way
Manipulate and have your say
Cut the mainstreams wicked tongue
Hell I do this just for fun
Gonna throw sand in the gears
Do you know the point of fear
War criminal
It's you
War criminal
It's you
Do anything for the cash
Kill the hounds that are on your tracks
Psychopaths don't feel the shame
Statice quo and it's always the same
Our backs up against the wall
Hell on earth you set up the fall
Cover up all the mass graves
Democide is the price we fucking pay
For our chains with solder blood
Stolen land it's never enough
State to bank revolving door
Don't you know you corporate whore
You sell out us and life itself
Skull and bones on the trophy shelf
Wicked flags we're forced to fly
Yet we just stand by
War criminal
War criminal
War criminal
