BREED TO BREATHE

Divorced humanity
Science strays
Walk the path of servitude
Grown unknown malignant code
Misconcieved the passion whole

Misconcieved the passion whole

Born against the innocent
Amongs us issues preset
Determined goals which are set
Love: a crime of severance

Are we free to feel?
Do we hurt to heel?

Breed to Breathe

Awareness falls the public eye
Primate morals sell the lie
2.2 - szmbolic bait
A process - bound genetic fate
The selfish feed - breed to breathe

BIRTH IN REGRESS

Feast your eyes on
It reflects on
Can't pertain to
Can't belong to
Vicious circle
Faultness conflict
Self - preserving
Birth in Regress

In the midst of confusion
The warm sound of shelter
Shelve the plans of expansion
The warm sound of shelter

Promising all
Deliver nothing
Dependtly reassuring
Come to terms with
Serves no purpose
Self preserving
Birth in regress

Sabotage the birth in regress

The subdue the calm before the storm
In it's stillness, In it's stillness
The subdue the calm before the storm
In it's stillness - desperate measures

To feel so unworthy
To see the apathy
To turn the cold shoulders and stoo to desperate measures
Any way, shape or form

Reversing in circles
A thought unappeling
How long can you maintain enthusiastic faces?
Any way, shape or form

SECTION

Spit out the poison
That plastic motive
The soothing pain that feeds the hole
A carnage path of one-time friends
A stepping stone to personal ends

A line that piles high
An art of trend
Champagne delusions
Controls and bends
The seething mass which consumes deceit
The frozen glance
Burn obsolete

All we are is one section
Striggling blindly through deception

REFLECT ON CONFLICT

Something to prove, something to say
Feeking secure, a false portrait
Forging alone the facts unknown
Hiding the truth to drag us on

Trapping the standpoint
Focal disjoint
More to protect than to reject
Reflect the conflict inside

Punish the core, the more unsecure
Testing the strength of us once more
Peeling away the scab to bleed
Feeling again a growing need

Accept the consequences
Unite our differences

Shameless and painless - reflect on conflict
Hateful, resentful - reflect on conflict

DOWN IN THE ZERO

Burning - feel the pain sear
Pathless - animation nears
Download deliquent fears
Sit back - enjoy the rot!

Down in the zero

Dilemma trebles
To balance - erratic stance
Benign eyes hide a fascist prance

Down in the zero
Now we perish as we bury
Down in the zero

Beyond the point of breaking
Down on level zero
Vexed - the reason
Unheard like a muted scream

Forced in to an action
Trauma - faked perception
Blindly - placed afflection
Strange - I faced deception
There's nothing for no-one

INSIDE THE TORN APART

Inside the torn apart
Feeding on the lies
Lair of sedition
Perverse incubation

Live through this
Love through this...hate this!
Learn from this
Break from this...hate this!

Crisis spawning decadence
Trial of tribulation
Grotesque imitations
Bleed the rumours dry

IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST

Fate has brought us here
Picture getting clear
See right through you
I see right through you
I feel for no-one
Where have my feelings gone?

All too powerful
Witness this as I stand the rest of time
In eternal sleep
You gave me your word
More than life itself

I breathe new life

Help save me from life-talking actions which will destroy myself
I can't destroy myself

There is no defence like this confidence
Ideas dawn upon, seeking relevance
There's no turning back
There's no turning back

PRELUDE

Last chance to escape
Shall I forsake all that I can take to carry on

Insanity slips away
Greetings the new day

Believing is kneeling
Ignore what I'm feeling
The pressure of living is taking its toll

Regrets that I'm thinking
The love that I'm losing
The hope that we're sharing is a lose cause

Mishappen
Thought I'd lost
Caressing chaos drops

Prelude to a drowning, burning vision
Pointless, selfish
Half the time I can't remember any of the childish lies

INDISPOSE

Do you think you can trust?
Your mind made up of the things that cause you to live your life

Displaced
Dispose

Give in
You've got the best of me
Wear thin
Resisting qualities

I had no choice
You've got the best of me
Force me the voice
Resisting qualities

They blame you
Beat you
Drain you of remaining morsels
As you tramble

Shattered
Scattered now before you
They wipe your face in disgust

Indispose

Despite the fact
Accept the fact
You gave your best
Famous last words

PURIST REALIST

Purist-realist manipulates
Purist-realist segregates
Purist-realist - on their ow nterms
Purist-realist - you never learn

Inner loathing - the mounting hate
Harping on some forgotten war

The shadow former self

Two-faced preacher - denied yourself
Purist-realist - a rotting state of grace

Cannot be me

Cannot see the once-treasured
Depleting life it shows in
Your weakness, impotence
Inability to have spoken
Summarizing that teasing
That non-restricted feeling set in a moment
In dealing
Return to the source of regret

LOWPOINT

Banish the emotion
Severing the ties
Mutual aggressions
Multiply unwind

Reason lost in reason gained
Reluctance seeping through the rage
Acceptance changing on all fronts
Phase me out...I've reached my lowpoint

Taranished with the notion
Voids in which we hide
Excuse pales from pressure
Desperate thoughts collide

Confessions, protection - the facts distort
Frenetic, eccentric - acts are caught

Phase me out

Relentless, contagion - a single choice
Dissecting, mutating - the single voice

THE LIFELESS ALARM

Tearing me down
Bringing me around
When do we stop!
Nobody knows
