01. Antisaint - Lyrics:

Visit again white elephant
Who sent you to loom?
Shall we sever everything?
Ponder this while we ponder why

He's starting to follow crows
And climbing the ladder somewhere out
To really begin to scare
And plotting to comb the grounds with a fine tooth

You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint

Nothing to say for the last time
Just want to sink his will
Like a predator's prey in the cold
Slowly starts to show

Assurance is what they need
Hold the lion until it's fed
It's still only morning
But the fly's surfaced

You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint

The stakes are too low
We may not need any
Course we never feared it
And if you couldn't tell
That the cleverest acting
Was the lying by you
Lying by you
Lying by you

You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint
You poor little anti-saint.

02. Brainiac - Lyrics:

Time holds us for a minute
It dries the wrists like penicillin
Each of these men holds a pentagram
So ease up on the slurs
They're pushing off the charts

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains
How 'bout I teach him to crawl
Lift up the head so proud
Imagine this one cell

He's gotten through the piss, so he can blame few
Slept off the chainsaw buzz, this passing eye-sore
These are the longest days, sits like a razor
How many found?

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains
How 'bout I teach him to crawl
Lift up the head so proud
Imagine this one cell

This defines him
So useless these rules
Tempting timing
I should use the same tools

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains
How 'bout I teach him to crawl
Lift up the head so proud
Imagine this one cell

Should've combined to save brains
How 'bout I teach him to crawl
Lift up the head so proud
Imagine this one cell

Imagine this
Imagine this
Imagine this
One.

03. Saferwaters - Lyrics:

This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows
Why he'd roll the eyes back
Why he'd roll those eyes, those heartless eyes

Well, I won't pretend to lie
Once more, protect my blinded sight
You'd say for I came from a fish
You mock the place where I exist and live

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us with that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters

Still learning what chaos kills
But whoever cares, nobody cares like you
Why we'd abandon time, just shut the door
Why we'd go to the wall, claim less is more

Well, I won't pretend to lie
Once more, protect my blinded sight
You'd say for I came from a fish
You mock the place where I exist and live

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us with that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us with that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters

This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows.

04. Well Enough Alone - Lyrics:

Walk down the realm
Hint to no one that this
Generic bond exists
Evil shows another side

And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal

Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame

So fed up, what's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
This pity wagon penetrates my skin
So sensitive, makes me sick

And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal

Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame

The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew what hit
The old and the aged
Pulled and never knew what hit

And like before, makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before, hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal

Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame.

05. Straight Jacket Fashion - Lyrics:

Don't stand around
So far it's empty
Just pull close these witnesses
That follow, so trusting
There they go

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

'Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin

Climb up your pedestal
To hang yourself from it
A cold day in hell's the phrase
I used when I never ever meant to change

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

'Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

His straight jacket fashion
Can't believe he could
But I'd crawl a mile
To say that he should

This straight jacket fashion
I can't believe he could
Starve ourselves just to say
You know that you should

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
Currently, you've spread yourself so thin
Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin.

06. The Fad - Lyrics:

Soon the men
Taste their own normalcy
Ends that day
Consumed by all
Irrational thoughts depend
Then shape their taste

Let's call it change
Let's call it change

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence

True to form
He's blind as his
Taste for cheap
Panther piss
He loves to live
Beyond the card
So count us in
To that Gucci clan The fat face

Let's call
The chase
I'll call it
A phase

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence

So sell your voodoo
And recognize this
Your last and only score
Got you hung up on your strut

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates it's
Hip to care
Hip to hate it

Once the fad
Once the fad
Once the fad
Once the fad
I bought it

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence.

07. Humanoid - Lyrics:

I paid you, squeaky wheel
Go try healing this too
That said, you're full of it
On a bend, beg to fail
Properly holding your grudge
That said, you're full of shit

Try accepting this
Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Last burned, well grab a pen
For the fourth and unknown
Hated work, loved the scene
The somber came juxtaposed
All the subtleness of a
Downed plane, retreat again if only the crying could heal

Try accepting this
Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

If only the crying could heal
I'd sell my left arm to buy passion
If only apologies worked
Well I could find some reasons
Why maybe you wouldn't be
So ill, so, ill, sorry your souls
So fucking shallow
It's creeping outside, outside of it's hole
It's trying to see, say it
Fake this reality

Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Why not face today?
Forever one to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Why not face today?
Why not face today?
Why not face today?
What I face

Why not face today?
Why not face today?
Why not face today?
Why not face today?

08. Paint The Seconds - Lyrics:

I'm about to give rise
Like the sun never could
More often not we belong
Albeit with

A little taste of regret

See these streams of color
They threatened it's too magical
That you still need to grow

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll blend
Ease into another
Endless abyss

We stopped time
To chase these truths

Tell it to move
Feel like climbing the walls
Useless messengers haste
Rushing to arrive

See these streams of color
They threatened it's too magical
That you still need to grow

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll blend
Ease into another
Endless abyss

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll blend
Ease into another
Endless abyss

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll
Ease into another
Endless abyss

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll
Ease into another
Endless abyss

The sooner we enter
The sooner we'll blend
Leads into another
Endless abyss.

09. Midnight To Midnight - Lyrics:

Sleep will carry us
After mentioned having a lesson
It's the least discerning place
We could dive to

We both shouldn't last another day
Another failed invention straight to nowhere
One more you say, what causes these
It's all the better your greed seems to carry you well
We couldn't dive
Too far

We toss our failures at the earth
Connected to a cause
Stripped away another fool
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under

So shy crossed my heart I sinned
With images too far apart to tell
What don't we know?
What should we know?
Slipping under is just the beginning of thirst
Could we dive too
Too far

We toss our failures at the earth
Connected to a cause
Stripped away another fool
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under

We so forgot to mention
A waste upon the hours
We so forgot to mention
The hook that is the chorus

We so forgot to mention
A waste upon the hours
We so forgot to mention
The hook that is the chorus

We toss our failures at the earth
Connected to a cause
Stripped away another fool
Blame it all because
We toss our failures at the earth
Stripped away from under.

10. I Get It - Lyrics:

So you say you're ignored
As it is
Well, give us your sad, sad trip

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Assumed it's whether
We're right, or wrong
We're doomed, and there's plenty for all

How dare you catch me counting
How dare you call at all
How dare you call this suffering
How dare you call at all

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Press on these tannins
They double in time
The touch of life, once failed to mention so far

Of course the law is fountains
Of face to face remorse
Of fast and restless blackmail
Like pent up fetish force

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life

Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Takes a man to see
Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Do you want it or not?

You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life, life, life, life.

11. Saturdays - Lyrics:

We've lost the minds
We came to know
Like cattle out in the cold
We begged for months
We begged to know
Show kindness never found

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth
Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so alien

We rise and fall
For pride and gain
Just defending ours, always defending ours
Well we must relate, no well we can't relate
We must relate, no well we can't relate

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth

Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so alien

Live in chaos
Now swinging claws
Closer, closer, let's see something new
Something new
Something new
Something new

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth
Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so alien

Now we all
Now we all
Now we all
Now we all belong.

12. Sleep Walking Elite - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]

Rushed and told
Their bred to continually
Be at their marks
But some withhold
And wont be held
Under the spell

Bribes when tried
They focused on the balling
Of the men to know
God left inside underbelly's choke

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

Behold rest assured
The sleep walking elite
When their days
Are numbered like the shallow
When they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees
As they sit
On their knees
On their knees
On their knees

And you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under cloaks

The Cloaks

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under

When you assumed
At least they'll call us
Men again
For those shadows
Lets keep on crawling
Out from under...

13. Delivery - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]

Girl had a baby
And she gave it to the world
World didn't want to take
The baby from the girl

Flowed on the waterway
Your time
It never change your heart
Your life
Around again
You'll fly far away

Time - Will never destroy your heart
Time - Will never destroy your heart

So in the reeds
Beside the river
Where she lay
Give it to the river
Let the water show the way

Flowed on the waterway
Your time
It never change your heart
Your life
Around again
You'll fly far away

Time - Will never destroy your heart
Time - Will never destroy your heart

Flowed on the waterway
Your time
Never change your life
Your life around again
You'll fly far away

Time - Will never destroy your heart
Time - Will never destroy your heart
Time - Will never destroy your heart
Time - Will never destroy your heart.
