I feel the same old sickness coming back again My stomach acid digesting all that's left inside Even my death wants me to suffer That's why it's keeping me alive Let's say a long prayer for our schizophrenic sides God of destruction or goddess of demise Why continue if this is all we get? You should slit your wrists to this This stagnation is taking it's toll We can no longer bear the load I can't remember how it used to go So quick, so much easier than this Now it only bores a hole The only thing constant is change Futile existence. A temporary world Spiraling toxically out of control Obliterating our souls There's a funeral going on A wedding. A birth A moonlight mass of death and flesh Awake from this moving coma everyday to witness the mindfuck, baby!

Wipe You Out 03:28
I don't think there is another way All of these fucking hand grenades Don't even flinch or blink an eye All it is is one more dead guy Kill! Kill! Make him disappear Missiles and bullets fill the air Good. Eradicate. Destroy Population down. Problem solved Legions brought down By the hand of man claimed God Believe! Believe in the violent sounds We can wipe you out We can take you down We can wipe you out We can break you down No doubt Need to conjure up the hatred from within Need to conjure up dirty bomb conspiracies Arsenals of anything that kills Knives and tanks and poison gas Things that destroy entire cultures Things that wipe out this fucking world I don't think there is another way All of these fucking hand grenades Don't even flinch or blink an eye All it is is one more dead guy Legions brought down By the hand of man claimed God Believe! Believe! We can wipe you out Good. Eradicate. Destroy Population down. Problem solved

Napalm 08:49
Napalm Black heart. Forever gray soul Take me Deeper in darkness we go It hurts so bad to say goodbye Every time I think of you, I die A little more inside Forever lacking the calm of resolve Napalm Black heart. Forever gray soul Take me Deeper in darkness we go Cold. Distant. Disconnected A chaosphere of thought & feeling I know why we’re crying We don’t have to talk about it Even after all this time has passed All I feel is broken glass Fire & blood on an empty page Fill it up with ink & rage Bandages and tourniquets Try to cope. Deal with it Once I passed the hardest part Swung full circle back to start Even after all this time has passed All I feel, broken glass Fire & blood, empty page Fill it up, ink & rage Can't maintain all this pain Suffering Let us pray Through the static of space and time I feel your heart die perfectly with mine And as the letters fade away I’m embracing a deeper shade of gray Napalm

Backfill 02:32
Chipping away at the foundation of self The architecture was by somebody else Break through the surface of the perfect disguise Corpses of regret and a lifetime of spite Chipping away at the shrine of pride Backfill in the source of demise Lies. Alibis. Who am I? Everytime I fill the hole The sides erode Since the dawn of time I have watched you cross every line All your thoughts and visions. Empty prayers I want you to forget everything you are Your hopes and dreams mean nothing to me Vendetta ain’t worth my time But I’ll participate anyway Help you redefine Cold and dark embrace Help to ease your mind Of all the love inside I can tell you anything Before this wrath I bring

Retribution 03:48
Disintegration from a timeless strain Can’t sleep ‘cause the grip has been slipping again Retrogressive dreams and treacherous sins Relax! We can watch 'em over and over again Everything that's meaningful in your life will be destroyed Beyond the shadow of a doubt There is no easy way out I'd tear myself from life and limb To start it all over again But in a world of choices made The consequence remains the same And retribution will be paid Long after the grave Annihilation lingers in the air Choking all the beauty from our lives There is no way that we can go on like this We can't keep testing the line Everything that's meaningful in your life will be destroyed Beyond the shadow of a doubt There is no easy way out I'd tear myself from life and limb To start it all over again But in a world of choices made The consequence remains the same And retribution will be paid Long after the grave It don't matter What's the point? I can't feel you Compassion is left for dead Like disease, we fall apart From decay Scourge of a stoic heart This is nothing It gets worse The bottom is still so far Let's keep it going Linger by death Grip the thread Retribution It takes everything I have Not to disconnect Jump into my car Drive into the ocean Drown myself to meet God "What the fuck is wrong with you? Look at what you've done What are we supposed to do?"

Adrift 08:15
The infinite symphony of dread Lost in a sea of discontent Can you tell me what it's worth To be born unto this Earth Tangled in uncertainty Self rejection and disbelief Doubt reigns down through the air Sought faith that wasn't there I still feel nothing The infinite symphony of dread Lost in a sea of discontent Can you tell me what it's worth To be born unto this Earth I could stop the world for you Show you my solitude What else could we do? Cast our souls back to the sea Conspire against ourselves The structure's wrought with flaws Bring it down around us We bring it down around us all Truth be told I'm tired Of unspoken words pushed aside Drowning in this atmosphere And choking on it's disdain While broken hope washes up with the waves I have lost my way

Eternal Sleep Lord Crusher of the underworld Give it every prayer but it still seems that there's... No place to hide from your doom. Nowhere to run Once you become an enemy of the sun No place to hide from your doom. Nowhere to run I have become the enemy of the sun Violent amounts of stress Surfacing through my chest like the apocalypse It’s painful, isn’t it? When everything falls apart and there’s an emptiness Consuming the bright eyes and sky The vortex of desolation No place to hide from your doom. Nowhere to run Once you become an enemy of the sun No place to hide from your doom. Nowhere to run I have become the enemy of the sun Let it go Misery lives there Unleash the wolves of static to devour the suffering Look your fate right in the fucking eye Realize your limitations Don’t you fucking lie Open up the closets Pull the skeletons out Put them in their coffins Put them in their coffins
