Testing 03:35
Cold cuts to the bone Crystals form on the skin exposed Muscles burn against the layered wool Sweat soaked, heaving breath with fingers froze Another mile more These limbs are tired, these limbs are slow Push against the frigid wind You're at the door, you're at the end This was the escape to trade the lull of the same shit for a new kind of shame I've never felt more alive or alone So unprepared So hopeless There's no turning back We have gone to far Life comes at a cost This is what you are owed Powder coated conversations with no meaning Choking smoke, keep reaching You may recognize the face The stupid joke or the old cliche But it's better than the old way Born to die in the same place I don't want to live forever I just want to see the world I don't want to live forever I just want to know there's more Peel away the perceived, the assumption Privilege you deny, set aside A choice to separate, this is a statement Folly for a fool, so hopeless There's no turning back We have gone to far Life come's at a cost This is what you deserve

Dark Runner 05:23
Clandestine curses, twisted verses Growing fear in idle minds The endless crisis, our devices They observe, the constant eye Tools of the unseen masters Willful slaves, useless bastards They smile as we tear ourselves apart Is it hard to believe? The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see We are born to obey We are sheep just trained to feed Further down the hole we go Time keeps ticking away, it's only getting worse Apathy is a cancer, just wait your turn We live, we serve, we reproduce We buy the myth that we choose Chained to our dated systems Blind to the true agenda We won't know until it's done You won't know until you're gone One by one they'll take us Stripped down in the street , torn from our homes Loaded up in cattle cars Cataloged and filed One by one Is it hard to believe? The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see We are born to obey We are sheep just trained to feed Further down the hole Further down we go One by one they'll take us one by one by one by one Born into enslavement Born to Serve They smile as we tear ourselves apart Is it hard to believe? The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see We are born to obey We are sheep just trained to feed

Drown me in the feeling I don't need to care at all There is no meaning in the void We're better off alone Tied off little nooses Into self induced confusion Wash away the old We're better off Self indulgent, spineless, righteous Well composed, burnt by both ends Carving out a name Digging the grave Peel back the skin, expose the rot We can hide in the shadows away from sun Eyes pried wide The terrifying sights we hide The horror of our own Catatonic repetition Beg for sleep, an intermission Just tie the knot We're better off God won't speak to me I am loathsome I am the end complete Peel back the skin, expose the rot We can hide in the shadows away from the sun.

Bare with me I've never had a one and only I've wasted a while or more It's a sorry excuse I know I'm coming apart at the seams The old facade of a misanthropic savant give ways to parallel existence The wordless moment Share with me the silence By your side Turn out the lights and hold me close We can sleep forever We've got the time We can sleep forever Turn out the lights I've done wrong I've been a cynic for far too long I've worn out the part I don't even know myself A fool enough to care for someone else I'm a sorry excuse you know But we grow together I'm better than the old me By your side in a new place The endearing, you endure me I'll probably ruin the moment You've seen the worst or more The endearing, you endure me I've taken my time I'm coming home
