Matter 02:53
Red eyes in the dead of night The sleeper awakes Seething with unearthly light There will be no more mistakes Stars collapse in space Force-fed with the fist of god It's time to bite down No questions, no waiting, No more pontificating The masses will hear the sound Oceans rise and burn And they will burn I won't grin and bear the pain And I won't ever genuflect again No I won't I won't swallow baited lines And I won't let them abrogate my time No I won't I won't live and die a slave And I won't listen when you say "behave," Because I can't abide a status quo Where I've been swallowed by the undertow And I will purge myself of this disease No more living on my knees Scream until you shatter... You no longer matter You no longer matter You no longer matter You don't fucking matter to me

Jericho 05:54
Sit down, you'll take it You'll bleed and you'll like it You'll suffer the arrows of misfortune The axeman comes chopping The other shoe is dropping You'll stumble, you'll crumble, and you'll feel Feel what I feel, hear what I hear Know what I know I know that you are nothing And like Karma, it's coming around Yes, the walls are falling down Falling down Inhale the plasma, The pestilent miasma That spews forth from the mouths and the lungs of the sickened Beneath the gavel, The avalanche of gravel, You'll stumble, and you'll crumble, and you'll feel Desperation oozing from your battered ego I know that you are failing And like Karma, it's coming around Yes, the walls are falling down

Only My Skin 04:43
The pain of knowing The sting I saw approaching Bogs me down in my shame The scourge resurgent Urgent reminder of all that's defective in me Shut me out Silence me Say it again - I am only my skin Half of a human Half of a much lesser beast Bastard born with no face The scourge resurgent Urgent reminder of everything broken in me Shut me out Silence me Say it again - I am only my skin
4.
Autonomic 02:11
I hate excuses I hate all the loose ends I hate the material lies Everybody's looking for a reason to love Everybody's caught between a push and a shove Everybody's looking for a ticket to ride Autonomic Fear is the judge and the jury and hangman Yes, fear is the grand scheme of things The motion of the ocean is the reason for corrosion And, atrociously, emotion is the source of the commotion Long live the goddamn king Autonomic

When you expect it least, When you’re not listening, When nothing troubles you, You will unravel With no one else around, Without a single sound, When all the stars align You will unravel Til all is lost again, The feeling’s gone again It’s everywhere you turn, This omnipresent dread, Harbinger of dismay, Lurking just out of eyeshot And do you even know? And do you even care? Wake up in a cold sweat, Are you unraveling now? You’ll never know the day It will arrive, it will arrive Into the back of your mind They are burrowing Into the passage of time They are burrowing Into your every pore They are burrowing Haven’t you felt it before? They are burrowing… Down The seeds are planted, the weeds are set to grow There’s no time left for panic There’s nowhere left to go The seeds are planted, the weeds are set to grow There’s no time left to panic Nowhere left to go Into the back of your mind They are burrowing Into the passage of time They are burrowing Into your every pore They are burrowing Haven’t you felt it before? They are burrowing You will unravel When you expect it least This was your warning

The possible dream Finale of seem The moment that some call eternal, That some call insane Now helmets on each head Awaiting the first lead The pageant is named the pencil rain The infantry stands And holds out its hands The marshal's binoculars focus And skyward they train They're searching the yonder blue They look out for number two The heraldry of the pencil rain And now hear the roar That none can ignore The thunderous clatter of splintering wood And the lives that are claimed And none who have seen it all Can think of a nobler cause Than perishing in the pencil rain
