To The End
01:04

I wish I could ignore it, the pull to the end
But my elders dictate I must keep it in the trend
And if I don't board this train of thought
Then I'll get left behind
I wish I could ignore it, the cycle that I'm in
But neurons keep on moving, don't need my intervention
But even if I was behind the steering wheel
I wouldn't know which direction to turn
I wish I could Ignore it, the pull to the end
But I've opened up the book and this is how it read
People dying everyday, to escape this hollow life
And I know it 'cause they told me
That this is the way it's supposed to be
Nothing to gain from looking in
So I'll just keep pushing to the end.

Two Minutes
02:12
|

We're here today to regulate emotional compost
We understand you pose a threat to our power and control
People today have a little too much floating on their minds
Give them an antidote and they'll fall right into line
The sirens of our occupation just won't do their jobs
We need a moral compass to push the people towards a cause
Maybe we should make it something you'll never see
Maybe we should broadcast it right through your TV
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES
Two minutes to find everything you're looking for
Two minutes to put some meaning to your life
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES.. of hate
Spread the static mindset 'til there's nothing left to cover
The party that you represent, there'll never be another
Let the people know that we're the victims of the land
We don't need your sympathy, just do anything you can
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES
Two minutes to find everything you're looking for
Two minutes to put some meaning to the strife
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES.. of..
Hate everything without reason or a limitation
Provoke your fellow man for causing all your pain
You're an individual who should answer to no one
And now that we have your attention, we finally hold the reins
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES
Two minutes to find everything you're looking for
Two minutes to put some meaning to your life
Two Minutes
TWO MINUTES.. of hate.

Catalyst
02:16
|

Everyone's on something that I can't describe
It'll take your search for time, and leave it behind
I don't know what they're saying, but they stare at me
Always so overwhelmed that nothing gets complete
Commitment.
Imprisonment.
IT'S ALL THE SAME EVERYDAY
Today is the day that I sell my soul
And tomorrow will be the same
Now I'm stuck on something that I should despise
It's like a shot of adrenaline shot straight into my eyes
A cruel, deserved voyeur, it stares at me
Dreams are just a synonym for codependency
Commitment.
Imprisonment.
IT'S ALL THE SAME EVERYDAY
Today is the day that I sell my soul
And tomorrow will be the same
Thinking of a time when I could be myself
So full of hope, but always asking for help
Just another useless tool that can't take the heat
Whose inner graveyard shift will never retreat
I'm stuck in this dilemma, and I can't explore
Waiting for the right words, but they don't visit anymore
At the altar another cog in the machine
My catalyst and I were always meant to be

Antiseptic
01:24
|

Open the door to this quiet room
There's something hidden deep within
An escape from all the dirt and grime
An escape from all the sin
The world outside is a bigger place
But it can't contain my fear
Of the dangerous minds that lurk outside
I don't know how they survive out there
ANTISEPTIC. And running out of time
ANTISEPTIC. Sinking further everyday
ANTISEPTIC. Afraid of the world outside
ANTISEPTIC. And I gotta get away
Set up from the start
No wonder I turned out a square
Straight lines, delivered on time
Without a free form anywhere
Dirt.
Toil.
The quest.
For health.
WONT YOU SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
ANTISEPTIC. And running out of time
ANTISEPTIC. Sinking further everyday
ANTISEPTIC. Afraid of the world outside
ANTISEPTIC. And I gotta get away

NEWSFLASH
We control the resources that you rightfully deserve
And the squalor that you're living in describes what you're worth
AND LIFE'S JUST NOT WORTH LIVING ANYMORE
NEWSFLASH
There's a life of fame and fortune that's right outside your door
If only you'd the tenacity to get up off the floor
Here's the story of someone who has
Thousands of channels streaming right toward you
Personality deriven from electron tubes
Ideas of the self are slowly fading away
The pill you're given is the pill you'll take
NEWSFLASH
The state of the world just gets worse everyday
The only thing left to do is kneel down and pray
THANK YOU WORLD FOR TUNING IN.

All-Seeing Eye
02:49
|
|||
Silently watching, a behemoth we cannot see
Our programming compels us to ignore it
Like a colony of ants, trying to find shade to cope
The whole of humanity under the microscope
It's the All-Seeing Eye
DECEIVING US ALL WITH IT'S MIGHT
Big eye in the sky, coming down from heaven
Wires, woven to drive out anything that's left
Grave and near, the march comes closer now
Souls full of depravity, wondering how
It's the All-Seeing Eye
THERE'S NO REDEMPTION IN SIGHT

Mass Appeal
01:12
|
|||
Existence defined my ownership.
The function doesn't matter much to me.
I'm slowly being consumed by the ever-growing compulsions
To possess to the point that it's giving me convulsions
BUT IT'S JUST NEVER ENOUGH
Lose the intelligence
It's not what's making the sale
Lose it all
We're just looking for the mass appeal.
What's the use of being independent?
When I just want you to sway me?
I'm beginning to realize judgement was the reason why
I'm destroyed by the looks of every passer-by
BUT THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
Lose the intelligence
It's not what's making the sale
Lose it all
We're just looking for the mass appeal.
Lose your persistence
It makes you look so pale
Lose it all
WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR THE MASS APPEAL

Here Comes Our Savior
02:19
|

Here comes our savior with his valor and might
Look up to him he's sure to know what is right
Here comes our savior, he's just like you and I
When asked for explanation he need not give a reason why
Here he comes
What do we do?
Accept him for his ignorance and the follow through?
Here he is
Turn him away
Before he takes our self control, and leads us all astray
Here comes our savior, turning water into lies
When faced with a conflict, he shall never compromise
Here comes our savior, an enigma to time
To his miracle production, let us dedicate our lives
Here he comes
What do we do?
Accept him for his ignorance and the follow through?
Here he is
Turn him away
Before he takes our self control and throws it all away
HERE.
NOW.
Coming down from heaven
To make sure we all come down as well
Here he comes
What do we do?
Accept him for his ignorance and the follow through?
Here he is
Turn him away
Before he takes our self control, and leads us all astray
HERE.
NOW.
COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN
TO MAKE SURE WE ALL COME DOWN AS WELL.

Reality
02:27
|
|||
All alone, and crumbled in this world
The plight continues for the common man
Unbeknownst, and growing introverted
A mind that's perfect for the master plan
Right in front of unsuspecting faces
Never to be seen..
REALITY
REALITY
So it goes, those left all alone
Take comfort in a world that is not at hand
So they search, and prostitute their souls
Just for something they can understand
Right in front of unsuspecting faces
Never to be seen
REALITY
REALITY
Past it's dawn and growing out of fashion
Never to be seen
REALITY
REALITY
Right in front of unsuspecting faces
Never to be seen
REALITY
REALITY
REALITY
REALITY

Look Elsewhere
01:30
|
|||
There's something in this world that's missing from today
A mass of minds willing to look their own way
What should I be thinking? I simply cannot choose
Would someone step out of the shadows and tell me what to do?
Everybody's searching, searching for a cause
Someone else to look up to or maybe just a god
I don't what you're looking for, but you won't find it here
The only advice I have for you is JUST LOOK ELSEWHERE
So many scrambling, looking for a purpose
With their news feeds to remind them that it's all fucking worthless
In a world full of culture, is it something to deplore?
I'll never tell cause I'm a culture whore
Everybody's searching, searching for a cause
Someone else to look up to, or maybe just a god
I don't know what you're looking for, but you won't find it here
THE ONLY ADVICE I HAVE FOR YOU IS JUST LOOK ELSEWHERE

The Truth
02:18
|
|||
Points of view are cascading all around
Any effort to compensate just lets me down
Tired of being deceived by the dismal lie
A lonely life of ignorance is no accomplice of mine
Every night I'm tormented by the bitter sleep
And the elephant in the room still won't reveal itself
Spent too many long nights staring in the mirror
Just trying to make this world look a little clearer
I know it's something that I'm probably never going to find
It takes so much effort just to pry those blinders off
But I'll probably keep on pressing on, like the ones who came before
The ones who met their maker in the search for something more
But it's just so easy to fail again
When searching for something so alien
And I know this is a little taboo
BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
