01 BOURGEOIS LYRICS: You and I shared a moment of bliss Followed swiftly by a bout of fright In the end, we were wayward warships Dirty-dancing in the dead of night Our time was all hit-or-miss Competitions of fight-or-flight We were both so damn self-righteous But only one of us was right I want to Make you feel the torment You have set upon my heart I want you Begging for the end Before we ever reach the start I want you buried alive I want to feel the inside of your festering mind I hate to say that I told you so But I'm a psychic when it comes to bullshit And all the forked tongues and snake oils in the world Couldn't convince me to take another bite of that bullet I'm throwing love out the window tonight And now I cast myself to rage My mind is acting on an impulse This monster has escaped his cage I don't give a fuck anymore You threw me to the wolves and I returned With bloodstains on my new fur boots When this is over I'll be deep inside my mind Painting every memory I have of you With substituted attributes Self-induced therapy As always better than Compelled medication Oh!

06 SOLITAIRE LYRICS:
Ominous clouds ellipse
Like vultures above my head
These walls encasing me
Are splintering, grey and dead
It would seem that fate
Has bounded me to tragedy
A walking, talking demonstration
Of human agony
I feel no purpose here
Now these popular thoughts
Begin to flood back inside
Accumulating their cancers
On my broken pride
My tears shine bright in the sun
A saline badge of defeat
To everybody who has
Left me somatically beat
I have never felt so unimportant
Just where the fuck (where the fuck)
Where exactly are the people
Who pretended to love me
Back when I had value
I called my friends
The phones just rang
And rang and rang and rang
I called my friends
I called them all
But no one fucking came
Nobody fucking came
Now these popular thoughts
Begin to flood back inside
Accumulating their cancers
On my broken pride
My tears shine bright in the sun
A saline badge of defeat
A vantage point to watch my mind
Fall victim to your deceit
I have decided to take back
What you've stolen from me
I have relented to claim
My rightful destiny
And with a thousand screaming
Arrows of unwavering will at my back
My life will once again belong to me
With a knowledge of night
I arm myself for day
I called to karma
But karma turned its back away
Exasperated and spent
I must remember to breathe
And pray the lacerations
Will vanquish my insanity
Now these popular thoughts
Begin to flood back inside
I find I don't chase the goal
When I'm afraid of the ride
Now the popular ghosts
Begin to haunt me again
This is exactly why I'm terrified
To make a friend
Now I am a ghost
Ghost of my mistakes
Haunting every step
I will ever take
Specter of my mind
Demon in my head
Voices in my soul will only
Stop when I am dead
Bandit of my hope
Reaper of my peace
Secretary of my
Subjugated sanity
Now these popular thoughts
Begin to flood back inside
I find I don't chase the goal
When I'm afraid of the ride
Now the popular ghosts
Begin to haunt me again
This is exactly why I'm terrified
To make a friend
01 BOURGEOIS LYRICS:
You and I shared a moment of bliss
Followed swiftly by a bout of fright
In the end, we were wayward warships
Dirty-dancing in the dead of night
Our time was all hit-or-miss
Competitions of fight-or-flight
We were both so damn self-righteous
But only one of us was right
I want to
Make you feel the torment
You have set upon my heart
I want you
Begging for the end
Before we ever reach the start
I want you buried alive
I want to feel the inside of your festering mind
I hate to say that I told you so
But I'm a psychic when it comes to bullshit
And all the forked tongues and snake oils in the world
Couldn't convince me to take another bite of that bullet
I'm throwing love out the window tonight
And now I cast myself to rage
My mind is acting on an impulse
This monster has escaped his cage
I don't give a fuck anymore
You threw me to the wolves and I returned
With bloodstains on my new fur boots
When this is over
I'll be deep inside my mind
Painting every memory I have of you
With substituted attributes
Self-induced therapy
As always better than
Compelled medication
Oh!
How I mourn at the cramps in my feet
As I dance upon the grave of your memory
I'm salivating at this realm of new potential
That has introduced itself to me
Endless possibility
Self-induced therapy
As always better than
Compelled medication
And now I yearn to be sober of you
I want to leave every ounce of you in my wake
I am floating on a cloud of awe
Because luck has struck
And freed me from your bourgeois
Don't ever let me catch
Your crooked grin around again
I am not your fucking friend
My only lasting regret
Is that I won't be there
To witness your death
Content to daydream to
The music of your last breath
03 ADRENALINE LYRICS:
I have fallen, I have fallen
For your constant appearance in all of my dreams
I have fallen for your sensible silence
And your effervescent personality
This charm you radiate is violently addictive
I depend on it; it's keeping me submissive
I am putty, at the mold of your directives
So send me off and let me burden your objectives
You are my queen; you command my sword and shield
You have my loyalty upon this battlefield
Your voice is power, and I love it when you use it
And how it tears apart my soul when you abuse it
And how it eats away my sanity when you leave
And all the dead men in your wake, for whom you don't grieve
I am ensnared by all these tangled webs that you weave
I beg of you, please cut me open and consume me
I am too far in to ever notice
All these tattered holes you left in my heart
I am far too brainwashed to ever see
How you've fabricated this from the start
Whore!
Succubus of the night
You are the cull of silence before the gunfight
Succubus of the night
You are the darkness before the break of sunlight
I am lost to the point of oblivion
Your crooked grin has been engraved into the back of my mind
I am lost to the point of obscurity
This ultimatum of my own insecurity
I'm barely living off the graces of your medicine
You are the nightmare persisting my adrenaline
You are a fantasy, the ghost of a maiden fair
They call you hope, but your true name is despair
02 PANDORA LYRICS:
I see despair within the faces of man
I see the fear begin to flourish again
I know a world where information is free
A paradise of logic that this world could never be
I can give you hope, but I need your commitment
I can lead you safely from the path to perdition
Within my sentiment, your questions are answered
I give you weapons to fight this cancer
Death to logic
I walk amongst you in corporeal form
Serving as a martyr for the foolish and blind
I have handed you Eden, and presented the apple
As a hollow promise for more than just the rind
I offer compassion
In a place where everybody wants to tear you down
I want to bring you to the top again
I want to show you what it means to have a friend
I hate to see you so pathetically weak
I want to give you all this knowledge you seek
I want to be the one you seek for advice
I want you to dissect me and see what's inside
Open me up and see me
Within this perilous life, ensnared to secular chains
You were so desperate for someone to captain the reins
You traded wisdom for a life of convenience
You sold the hour to a cult of Holy demons
You have not been told the whole truth
Because the truth would free your mind
You have merely learned what we put over your eyes
This thinly-veiled disguise
This camouflage of demise
Knowledge can save you
04 CHAMBER YOUR CARBINES LYRICS:
It seems to be my fate to dissipate again
I'm always left to rot in this ruined domain
I am contorted by this poisonous mindset
It's only me and my casket-shaped silhouette
I dragged myself through Hell and now I've come to find
Heaven is a prison cell, a thorn in my mind
I fail to find relief in clawing away at the skin
A desperate ploy to exorcise this demon within
I have cancer of the psyche and stigmata of the soul
I am a never-healing tumor with an ever-bleeding hole
And I will always be a self-appointed glutton for pain
So draw a target on my forehead and fire away
I shall be mortal no more, I decree
This life has taken all I had in me
I find no pleasure left, so lay me to sleep
Let me finally experience peace
I relent my mind, my eternal soul
To the earth that has taken everything
No longer shall I define my life
With these assimilated scars on me
I relent my mind, my eternal soul
To the blackened sky, suffocating light
No longer shall I search for sunbeams
In a world that only offers me night
I have cancer of the psyche and stigmata of the soul
I am a never-healing tumor with an ever-bleeding hole
And I will always be a self-appointed glutton for pain
So chamber your carbines and fire away
This life has turned to shit, and I have learned to see
The glaring truth of life's dramatic sense of irony
No fancy metaphors, no dreams of subtlety
My life begins when I extinguish my reality
Tonight I finally showed the world
This life has nothing left for me
So next time I come to your mind
This is how you can remember me
A blister, a blood-red blemish
On the backdrop of infinity
A shadow, a ghost on a rope
Suspended in eternity
07 UTOPIA LYRICS:
Mining through these empty words
For the diamonds within the coal
This venomous tongue
It only serves
To toxify my soul
Have I not noticed?
Have I not heard your despair?
Have I not learned
That respect is earned
By actually being there?
I curse life over lemons
And choke upon the peel
I'm wasting days
Devoting rage
To shit that isn't even real
One day I hope to see
The change in my appeal
One day I hope
I start to cope
I must remember how to feel
I build up walls because I have
A fetish for demolition as an exhibition
So damn easy to never give and always take
So damn easy to build the walls I want to break
When I was young, I was warped
I dreamt of power and greed
I burnt down every bridge
So only I could proceed
That villain in me is gone
But all my ghosts won't move on
So now I spend my days behind
This mask called Made In Taiwan
I wish that I could fly
Away from all this shame
But when I fall again
I'll be the one to blame
Because my only power
Is being a fucking coward
And now the hours of my life
Have grown foreboding and sour
I wish that I had a spell
To make me disappear
So I could slither away
To any place but here
I wear the shackles of fate
Entwining me to my hate
I will destroy everything
Everything I create
I build up walls because I have
A fetish for demolition as an exhibition
So damn easy to never give and always take
So damn easy to build the walls I want to break
I always build but I never learn
I just pretend I don't want to see utopia burn
So damn easy to hide the flaws from my own view
So damn easy to wear the masks I hate on you
I have given nothing
And taken everything
I don't deserve all your love and your hope
The failures I left at the end of the rope
All your unbiased compassion and grace
I'm just a fucking disgrace in this place
Leave me
In the comfort of knowing
That this cross is mine to bear
Don't let it eat you away
Go and I'll stay
I swear it's not you that still ruins me
I just can't find peace in me
Just pieces of who I used to be
