1. STRIFE

Watching closely
Feeling helpless
In seconds
All unravels
Burning
Scathing
Suffering from the blowback
Exhausting all my efforts
Aching
Struggling
Just to watch the clock hands
Spinning in reverse
In reverse

Once again at zero
Trying to chase down the truth
Finding relevance
In all which you case aside
Redefining sacred
Filtering the conscious stream
Grasping the vitality
Your ignorance would drown

Sightless
Witless
Let it all slip through your fingers
Drained until there’s nothing left
Reckless
Thoughtless
Never understanding
It was hidden in plain sight


2. CAPTURED REPETITION

Every waking moment replays itself
In a cascade of grainy static
Pre-determined motion and scripted lines
Plastic scenario looped end-on-end

Existential
Paranoia
Overflowing

Core disruption
Broken balance
Mocked existence

Breathless and timeless
Running through identical corridors
Of artificial memories
To end up at the origin once again


3. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST US

The Odds Are Against Us !!!


4. IKARI

Years of grief and sorrow
Locked behind eyelids
Thoughts repressed so fucking long
Festering in the open wound

A door once sealed torn down again
Forced to confront the naked truth
I mustn't run away


5. SELF ENGINEERED EXTINCTION

Take it all in
Take a long look
Take it into account
Because you can’t take it back

Starved, scarred, sucked dry
What’s left of wasted empires
Last human harvest
Primed for the reaping
Blind lead the blind lead the blind
Down the road paved by good intentions


6. TIME BETRAYS ALL

Resign yourself to vacancy
Cast aside all purpose
Switch off,
Don’t breathe
As you’re crushed beneath
The wheel of progress
Stagnate
Slow down
Break away
Fall apart
In decay
In despair
Out of time
We collapse


7. ENSLAVED BY MACHINERY

Science advances to benefit man.
Opportunists abuse it to take what they can.
Transformed to a nation of dependence and sloth.
A mindless flock incapable of thought.
Reliant on hand outs, unable to provide for themselves.
Lethargy.
Indolence.
A heard of sheep, waiting to be led.
Used to being bottle-fed.
Fuck the internet, fuck tv, or anything that uses electricity.
