Lyrics


1. OBSOLESCENCE

Now your convictions you won't need them where you end up You will not need them.
Mark these words your story ends then you will understand That you get back what you Put in.
My birthmark, my waste of contrition, the wave might be Finite but so is the ocean.
I will not forget.


2. BILATERAL CONSEQUENCE

And time collapses around them.
And suddenly home won't feel like home anymore.
They are guilty of trying.
But it goes both ways.
For you, for me, it's the same.
I won't take part.
Say your prayers then forget them.
Discard your affection.
And in time you remember.
More to say.
More to live for.
Repeat the motions.
Refine your existence.
Understand what you've done. Become your excuses.
Consequence you remember.
More to be, more to die for.
And they won't recognize your face anymore.
They will forget you.
Your time is up. Your life is gone.


3. A THREAT, CONQUISTADOR

Now they move, unseen.
His name is truth, left for dead but he'll find his way Home.
Truth, back again to exact his revenge.
We have become what we have designed.


4. BACK INTO THE WOODWORK

Destroy the ones that matter to you.
And they come back for more. And they come back to you.
Hold a pillow over the face of your brother and he will Love you even more.
Walk backward. Disappear.


5. THE LAST NEIGHBORHOOD IN AMERICA

Set yourself ablaze for the last time you should know my Name by now.
Put this world to sleep for the first time your failure in Life will be taken to heart by the People who replace you.
And I'll take my place beside you. They heal you then eat You alive.
And time resolves space between us.
The captain is bound and will march off the plank while we Laugh and we jeer and we Spit and we find him guilty for The things that we've done.


6. WATCH THEM BECOME ANIMALS

Run with wolves. Breath in smoke.
Become your fear. He will become his fear.
They will find him. And they will ask him, what have you Worked for?
What have you obsessed over? What have you hurt yourself For?
He'll say in life I was an artist, a painter.
And we'll watch his face change as he realizes his ideals Go as far as his threshold for Pain.
And he'll say in life I was something, I was someone, I Had purpose, I had meaning, And they will all remember me.
They will keep a place for me in case I return.
Watch them become animals. Watch them feast.
Watch them break and dismantle themselves.


7. MANEATER

Now they say nothing. Their minds expire.
And love will fade as the days pass.
And they will soon forget. And age consumes you.
Convictions turn to muscle memory.
And they won't recognize your face anymore.
Now he sees. Now he finds you.


8. THE LUNGS OF THE OCEAN

(Instrumental)


9. KING SHAKE

We owe ourselves an apology.
But that's one debt that won't be paid.

10. THE FATE OF ARBOGAST

Farewell to all that's gone.
We died when we traded ourselves for a chance to live.
And you'll never see me again.
Here lies your pride, your truth, buried alive, frozen Solid in the shape of you.
Right now. For me.
