We can see the red planet growing Our ship out of date Communications are all down The captain drinks like an open flood gate And his people skills leave a lot to be found We seem to have lost the antenna, sir I think we clipped a rock back in quadrant four Why are you in my cabin, boy This ship is perfection Just sit back and enjoy I would sir, but with the antenna gone I’m pretty sure our navigation systems are wrong Now we’re slowly drifting out of range To wait any longer would just be insane What, why the hell are you still here? I thought I heard a buzzing sound around my ear I’ve been flying these fucking things since you were in diapers I’ll tell you if there’s anything to cry about, spineless This is not how it was meant to be I think I want my money back I think this is just too real for me We’re here, get up Get your shit and get out It’s time to play your stupid game Stop fucking about I want you off my ship As soon as you can Cause I got plans with a lady friend And you're where you want to be Excuse me sir, but I think we’re not I was looking at the map And you see this dot? That is where we’re meant to be I can’t seem to find... Hey wait, don’t leave!

Welcome to my humble abode I got lots of entertainment Set in store for you all Just make your way down To the lavish hall You'll see the other guests Enjoying the ball Drinks are free And the girls are easy to talk to As they gesture with their fuck me eyes The weeds fruity And the LSD I used to spike you should be kicking in about this time Make your way to the dance floor Show us your stuff The bass resonating down your spine Now you've begun It's in your best interests Never to stop Unless of course you don't want to survive Dance Like the water bends with the earth Let your body contort with the sound Till it hurts Put your party hands up in praise of my work Lay your lives to rest because science comes first Yes, those poles are conductors Hooked to the floor I got this whole place electrified Something tells me You’re appalled Well you should perk up This is for science It is worth your life Let's see your tango Nut bush the Do Si Do You Macarena And Ill make you fry Feel the power of suggestion Fool you to the bitter end There was no danger It was all implied

Delinquent 02:59
A rōnin city Lends its toil, To rebuild our constructed disease And oversee all A synthesis of morbid ardor With delinquent overtones Despicable the system That relies on blood for gold We understate the massacre Relentless on our soul Our lives are laid out for us So make it all you know. I like the pretty lights The amber glows on the street signs Soft rain and a gentle tide Waves that crash against the night We’re off to see the wizard The wonderful wizard of emptiness The times have changed and everyone’s strange And now they’re addicted to fucking meth He holds the key to safety Or at least that what the poster said Don’t blame me if he’s angry When we find he’s just a giant head. The yellow brick road is stained with blood The blood of those killed in the rush To see the emerald city As it spirals to decline The tallest towers crumble And trap all those beneath The wizard lied And people died And now our heroes rest in pieces

Demons 04:01
All the details All the inhibitions Overwhelm Frighten the hell out of ourselves All spectators To all empires Insiders Not listening It's all repeating Can you not see them Smiling I see the demons The ones that should not be I see the demons Running everything At the end of the line we forget everything and Some things we should not have left behind Under the signs we fumble to attention And give away our precious Time The dust settles and the bones are on display And we act as if nothing is hidden away A constant struggle to protect a system built as a cage The repression dependent Led by deceit, followed by weak Just never speak of the stage We all play our part on
5.
Train 03:11
Wake alone Head like a rock Curse your nature And the birds chirping A rush of bile fills your gut Change location To the porcelain Late at night You drink more than a friend would dare Satisfied You’ve got yourself to blame again Another drink To give in to the ways of the world It’s as if you seek to bury your head Can you blame a wretch that has sought his worth And was found worthless in the world that we have Tried so hard to change our lives Tried to fix all of our shortcomings You came with invention to heal our sickness Now you realise The true extent of greed In the night They came and took your family Sacrificed Unless you ceased your noble deeds Another drink To give in to the scum of the earth Now you know they hold your life in their hands Another coward whispers his will to the servants And forever more he will claim what we have

Alone in the skies We fly with the breeze Ever fleeing the threat Of reality Silent through the night As if out of a dream A giant city Hovers over the trees We rub our eyes And shake our heads in disbelief This offers us no sanity A closer look is all agreed We glide around And with no signs of any danger We find a place to settle down And wait for light To show the mystery It glides around the friendless sky A haunted city Gently floating through the night Our presence echoes along stone walls Throughout the debris Our thoughts beyond control We can search for the meaning behind it We can live for the purpose that claimed their souls We can put the other world behind us We can start again devoted to change it all Now our path leads us down into the bowels Our leader gives his peppy speech Determination is now leading us blind To find the source that fuels this beast Breaking silence we hear the footsteps clear The hairs stand up upon our backs And the violence we fear Could boil all onto the surface Our lust for entertainment Won’t glorify fatality
