THE ONLY WAY THAT I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN SLEEPING
IS WHEN I AWAKEN TO THE TASTE OF BROKEN TEETH
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BREAK THIS CYCLE
THE VOID GROWS WIDER EVERY DAY
I DON'T EAT I DON'T SPEAK
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KEEPS ME GOING
THEN I FIND MYSELF
SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE THAT I DON'T TRUST
AGORAPHOBIC TENDENCIES BROUGHT ON BY SNAKES AND COWARDS
THERE'S NO ONE TO BLAME
IT'S JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
BETTER GET USED TO IT
CANT HIDE THE DISAPPOINTMENT ON MY FACE
OR IGNORE THE SINKING IN MY CHEST
LET DOWN AND LIED TO BY PEOPLE I TRUSTED
GRITTING MY TEETH ISN'T ENOUGH
WHEN THE ONLY WAY
I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN SLEEPING
IS WHEN I WAKEN TO
THE TASTE OF BROKEN TEETH
NOW MY MINDS A MESS
THE GLASS IS LESS THAN HALF EMPTY
THE PILLS ARE MORE THAN HALF GONE
AND I DON'T FEEL ANY BETTER

PEOPLE DROWN
IN TRADITION IF IT FAVOURS THEM
CLING TO YOUR BANNERS
FUCK THE REST
CUT OUT THE SILHOUETTES
CUT OUT THE SILHOUETTES THAT DON'T MATCH
AND IN SPITE OF IMPLIED PROGRESS
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A DARKER AGE
VILIFY YOUR FUCKING NEIGHBOURS
JUST CAUSE THEY DON'T LOOK THE SAME
CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT
YOU'RE STILL RACIST SCUM
XENOPHOBIA DISGUISED AS CULTURE
FUCK EVERY NATIONALIST.

SIN
WE PROTECT A PALACE THAT WAS BUILT ON RUINED LIVES
CRUSADES AND MOLESTATION
IMPLORE THE POOR AND ROB THEM BLIND
DON'T MAKE THEM PAY TAXES LET THEM FUCK OUR CHILDREN'S MINDS
WELL I HAVE A FREIND, THAT THEY DON'T LIKE
OH I HAVE A FRIEND THAT THEY DON'T LIKE
BENEATH THE HATEFUL GAZE OF THE PIOUS
THEY LOOKED AT HER WITH FEAR AND SAID
THAT SHE'LL DESTROY THE WORLD
SHRIEKING ABOUT SIN AND SHAME
QUOTING EVERY WORD
TIE HER TO A CROSS AND LIGHT A FIRE BENEATH HER FEET
BREAK THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
CANT FORGIVE SEXUALITY
OH I HAVE A FRIEND THAT THEY DON'T LIKE
SIN
SHAME
REPENT
REPEAT
WHEN LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES
THE RIGHTEOUS BECAME SCUM
ONLY HEATHENS CAN SAVE US.

VOLUNTARY EXTINCTION

I WENT TO SCHOOL
I GOT A JOB
I MET A GIRL
I WATCHED TV
I THOUGHT ABOUT MY LIFE
I STILL WANT TO KILL MYSELF
DEATH TO THE EVERYMAN
SELF FULFILLING WASTE OF SPACE
SPEW FORTH ANOTHER FUCKING CHILD
THAT THE WORLD NEVER WANTED
STOP BREEDING
AND SO EACH DAY BLENDS INTO THE NEXT
AS EVERYBODY BLENDS IN TO EACH OTHER
IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO FIND MEANING
THAT COULDN'T HAVE AMOUNTED TO LESS
KEEP KILLING EACH OTHER
KEEP DESTROYING THE EARTH
KEEP MULTIPLYING
YOU MAKE ME FUCKING SICK
I WAS BORN
I WASTED TIME
I MADE NO DIFFERENCE
I LIVED I GUESS
I THOUGHT ABOUT MY LIFE
I STILL WANT TO KILL MYSELF
STOP BREEDING.

GOD KNOWS I DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS
WE EXCHANGE SMILES
BUT THE CONNECTION THAT YOU FEEL IS JUST A COPING MECHANISM
JUST CAMOUFLAGE THAT THREW YOU OFF
AND IT'S NOT YOU IT'S THAT
I'M NOT HUMAN
EVERY DAY WEIGHS HEAVY ON MY SHOULDERS
AND NEW HANDS FEEL COLDER THAN I REMEMBER
DOWNWARD SPIRAL IS TOO LIGHT OF A TERM
IM FALLING LIKE A FUCKING BRICK
AND IM SORRY I DIDN'T RESPOND TO YOUR CALLS
BUT SEE THE THING IS
I'M TOO DETACHED TO FUCKING CARE
GOD KNOWS I DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS
YOU WANT TO HELP BUT I KNOW I'LL LET YOU DOWN
IM TOO DETACHED TO FUCKING CARE.

HOPE AGAINST HOPE
02:06

I'M SNKING, I'M WORTHLESS, AIMLESS AND FLAILING
A BITTER CONFUSED WASTE OF SPACE
STUMBLING FORWARD OUT OF HABIT AND SEARCHING
FOR MOTIVATION THAT JUST ISN'T THERE
I CAN'T SHAKE
FEELING NOTHING
WELL THE DAYS THEY STILL PASS
AND THEY STILL MOCK ME
WITH THE NOTHING THAT I'LL DO
I'M ANGRY AND WORN OUT, SOME CYCLES ARE ENDLESS
I KNOW THAT I JUST MAKE IT WORSE
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WELL THE DAY FUCKING ENDS AND IT'S EASIER JUST TO FORGET
SO HEAD DOWN AND ONWARDS AND HOPE AGAINST HOPE THAT THIS NIGHTMARE WILL STOP ON ITS OWN
THE VOICES IN MY HEAD AND THE GHOSTS IN MY PAST SHOW NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
SO WHAT IS THE POINT I FIND MYSELF ASKING AS ANSWERS REMAIN IN THE DARK
BUT TRYING'S A HABIT NOT EASILY BROKEN I'LL FIGURE IT OUT IN THE END
I CAN'T SHAKE
FEELING NOTHING
SO WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE
BUT TO SEE WHERE THIS ROAD TAKES ME
AND HOPE FOR QUIET
AND HOPE FOR ANYTHING
ANYTHING ELSE.

MY DOCTOR ONCE ASKED ME
WHAT I THOUGH ABOUT MYSELF
AND I LAUGH ABOUT IT STILL
CAUSE IF THE ANSWER WASN'T SCUM
WOULD I BE HERE DEMANDING PILLS?
I USED TO FEEL IMPORTANT
I USED TO HAVE IDEALS
I USED TO ACT WITH PURPOSE
I USED TO BE SOMEONE

COMMON CREATURES
BURDENED BY LIFE
DROWNING IN WALLS THAT THEY FOUGHT TO BUILD
IN A PIT THAT THEY DUG FOR THEMSELVES
THEY'LL CRUSH EACH OTHER TRYING TO CLIMB OUT
THERE'S NO GETTING OUT
I ENVY HARD WORKERS
DRONES AND THE FULLS
BRIGHT EYED WASTES OF BONES
HOPEFUL AND AMBITIOUS
WHO EXIST WITHOUT CONSCIENCE
BEYOND VAGUE MORAL TROPES
BUT FOR THOSE OF US
WHO EXIST IN THE WAKE OF GOOD INTENTIONS
WHAT MOTIVATES US
WHAT MOTIVATES THE NIHILISTS THE CYNICS AND THE MONSTERS
THE MONSTERS YOU PAINTED US AS
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR WORLD
I BARELY CARE ABOUT MY OWN
I'VE GOT A BAD ATTITUDE?
WELL YOU HAVE TOXIC IDEAS
AND THE POWER TO SEE THEM REALISED
AND I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITH THAT
I'M DIRECTIONLESS AND DRIFTING?
YOU'RE THE ONE MOVING WITH THE TIDE WHILE I DRAG MY FEET
YOU'RE THE EMBODIMENT OF THE NIGHTMARE WE'RE ALL HEADED FOR
YOU'RE THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

WE WERE BORN LOW
SCOWLS AND DISTRUST
BRED INTO US
AND ALREADY IN THE SHADOW
OF THE NOTHING THAT WE'LL BECOME
AND ALL THE PLACES WE CAN'T REACH
I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE IT DOESN'T GET BETTER
I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE WHERE IT'S HEADED WE DON'T FIT
SO IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING ODDS AGAINST US
AS COMMON PEOPLE
AS COMMON FUCKING PEOPLE
HOW DO WE PERSIST?
SO WHERE THE FUCK DO WE GO FROM HERE
SEVEN BILLION OF US THAT DON'T MEASURE UP
THEY DREW THE DIVIDES IN TRIPLICATE
YOU DIDN'T SIGN BUT CONSENT WAS IMPLIED
AND YOU'VE GOT DIRTY BLOOD
THIS IS A FAMILY BUSINESS
AND WE'RE NOT THEM
AND THEY'RE NOT US
NO THEY'RE NOT US
WOULDN'T SAY IM OPTIMISTIC
DOESN'T MEAN I'VE GIVEN UP
WOULDN'T SAY IM OPTIMISTIC
THAT'S NEVER STOPPED ME BEFORE.

I WRECKED MY OWN HOME WITH LACK OF CONSIDERATION
I WRECKED MY OWN HOME WITH LACK OF INTEREST AND ATTENTION
A POORLY WRITTEN SCRIPT
PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS
MADE UP OF GOOD INTENTIONS
THAT NEITHER OF US FELT
ALL FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
AND ALL THE INSECURITIES WE WILL NEVER FACE
WELL IT ALL EQUATES TO LIVING HELL
TRAPPED IN MEDIOCRITY TOO SAFE TO BREAK AWAY FROM
A DANCE WITH STEPS THAT NEVER CHANGE
A HORID BLEND OF DAYS THAT STRETCH INTO THE INFINITE
POORLY WRITTEN SCRIPT
PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS
INHERITED SURVIVORS GUILT
TO TRAP US IN EXISTANCE
ALL FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
I WRECKED MY OWN HOME
IT WAS NOTHING I'D EVER WANTED.

LIGHT BREAKS
ON HANGING HEADS
EVERY MOMENT CONSCIOUS
IS A HELL I CANT ESCAPE
I'VE BURIED DEEP SHIT I CAN'T FACE
DROWNED IT WITH DRUGS AND I'VE LOCKED IT AWAY
EACH TIME I RELAPSE THE VOICES GET LOUDER
AND I START BELIEVING THE SHIT THAT THEY SAY
TIME SPENT ON REFLECTION BECOMES HARDER TO BARE
I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME
THIS GAME OF PRESERVATION
MY WHOLE LIFE
I'VE BURIED DEEP SHIT I CAN'T FACE
RUN FROM THE TRUTH AND LET FEAR CONTROL ME
AND IN SPITE OF MY EFFORTS
ALL MY THOUGHTS ARE POISON
HOPE HAS LEFT ME FOR DEAD
BEHIND THESE RIBS
THERE'S NOTHING
BUT THE CRUSHING WEIGHT
OF FAILURE
AND REGRET
BEHIND THESE RIBS THERE'S NOTHING.
