1. INCUBATION

(Instrumental)


2. SPURIOUS OVATION

You will regret all of this time
Wasted
Watching others living

Go stumbling
Numb suffering
Chosen monotony
Hollow devotion

Fragment of a whole
Float in the shallow end

Doesn’t it get old?
Aren’t you growing tired?
You’re getting old
I’m growing tired

You’re holding a severed line with an infant grip
Drip into yourself
Find a new subject
Pack it up, go home
You were born to observe
Inane approval is all you’re worth


3. PSEUDOASCENSION

What have I done?
Driven to ruin like never before
Maybe this time it's the end

Enter the labyrinth
Seeking release
Surrounded by stupidity
Sentinels watching
Biting my tongue
Incompetence is the disease

Staring at nothing
Bound in loathing and friction
No space to heal
Lie, escape with intention

Disrepair | Deepening despair | Now shut down

Wasting the light away
Sleeping my mind to pulp
There is a darkness worse
Than the hole that you’ve dug yourself
There is a darkness


4. HERE ON EARTH?

Why do they despise me so?
I created them.

Do you think God stays in Heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created? Here on Earth?


5. ANATHEMATIC

There does not exist enough blood to drown all of us out

They’re trained to nurse a borrowed grudge
From foreign shores, inheritance
They deny what can be proved
Raze the land, wipe out the youth
We will not soon succumb
Buried by ash
Punished in rot

We will rise from the dust
Not erased by torture
Those lost, those destroyed
Murdered not abandoned

There does not exist enough blood to drown all of us out


6. MIRROR VULTURE

Formed pure of heart
Born with no ill will
Blind to the truth
Fooled
Swallow the pill

Scavenger circling | Parasite festering

Simulate a new excuse
Symbiont bled dry no longer

I don’t care for this charade
Break the glass and walk away

Simulate a new excuse
Symbiont bled dry no longer
