The chaos has begun to spoil the gathering
(Spoiled it again)
The blood that's on our hands conducts the picture's shattering
(It happened again)
The familial facade is a promise you must uphold
(Must uphold)
One blank stare at the table and the label starts to unfold
(Starts to unfold)
How can this be
(46 Chromosomes)
This pattern plays on repeat
(46 Chromosomes)
These strangers think nothing like me
(46 Chromosomes)
I let my mind wander free
(46 Chromosomes)
Why'd she let her raw emotions take control
(Take control)
She invaded a mansion to rob a man of all of his gold
(Rob all his gold)
She went in for riches but ended up stealing his soul
(Stealing his soul)
When she crept up
Up from behind
And drove an axe into his skull
(Into his skull)
How can this be
(46 Chromosomes)
This pattern plays on repeat
(46 Chromosomes)
I'll always be the black sheep
(46 Chromosomes)
I let my mind wander free
(46 Chromosomes)

Living it up in the carport
(Can ya dig it)
Saving a spot for my friend
Left my Razr on the dashboard (with a ticket)
The opening act starts at ten
And it's eight forty nine
Eight forty nine
Eight forty nine
Well the concert goes with the weight of your clothes
And the way that you groove a compromising pose
(Is gonna take me down)
Well the guilt is a shame
When I'm faced with your name
On the tickets and the badges and the sparkling champagne
(Still I'll drink it down)
Well she doesn't really understand the band
She can't help but complain that
The speakers are loud
Sounds all the same
Can't really hear the low end of the bass
I saw your photograph with her
It was in the coliseum
I hope you had a splendid time
I got that inclination from the speed she left behind
I don't know what you want me to say
(What do you want)
I don't know what you want
I don't know what you want me to say
(What do you want)
I don't know what you want
Well an apology would be the best starting place
Well an apology would be the best starting place
Well an apology would be the best starting place
(Cut me some slack and get off my case)
Well an apology would be the best starting place
(Don't act so innocent you've done the same)
(Don't act so innocent you've done the same)

Confirmation Bias
03:23
|

|
Validation is your cherry on top
You love to demonstrate
How you can tie it in a knot
Elections hold the trial you've never caught
Lavish persuasions is the single you dropped
You've let it demonstrate
How the public's lost it's chops
Directions might close
And you aren't helping the odds
The less I wanna see of it
The more the confrontation is forming
The greater the lifespan
And it freaks me out
All the calculations
Faulty allegations summon a warning
The greater the lifespan
You better count me out
If I saw (Saw)
You as a friend (Friend)
Wouldn't I be prone to calling more often
If I saw (Saw)
You as a friend (Friend)
Wouldn't I be more engaging in conversation
If I saw anything at all
Wouldn't I be giving you more confirmation (Confirmation)
Confirmation (Confirmation)
Confirmation

Culture of Convenience

Convenience
Suffocates the motivated
Convenience
Forceful inhale
Free market equations
Choke-holding commerce invasions
Inconvenience
A gargoyle fills the eternal queue
With a lengthy question
Coalescing in the depths of a use
Recycling the medium of gluttony
The enemy will haunt
If you can't pick it's brain
Valor is shattered
Neurotic mistakes
The noose that cascades
(Is a vow you've taken)
To receive a response
To depend and rely
On expedient packages
Knotted with twine
From omniscient allies
(With the most zealous knife)
Culture of convenience
Culture of convenience
(Killed by the)
Culture of convenience
(Owned by the)
Culture of convenience
(Sold by the)
Culture of convenience
(Enamored by the)
Laying loading forced regression
Cultivating lost ambition
(If what you need is a priority
Would you trade it beneath a heavy contingency)
Loathing yawning appetite
Bottomless and asinine
(Buyer's fatigue is a sign of defeat
Lethargy will delete placid integrity)
Laying loading forced regression
Cultivating lost ambition
(If what you need is a priority
Would you trade it beneath a heavy contingency)
Loathing yawning appetite
Bottomless and asinine
Culture of convenience
These times
(We covet any choice)
To simplify a task
(To optimize our grasp)
Progression is impestuous
(If lessons lack the evidence)
That deconstruct the battlements
(That blind you from the catalyst)

The messenger was shot for undisclosed reasons today
He misaligned his biases with the problems they conveyed
Don't shoot the messenger they say
No, don't shoot the messenger
No, don't shoot the messenger
No, don't shoot the messenger
Don't shoot the messenger
Don't shoot the messenger
The massacre was brought for undisclosed reasons today
The magnitude was unprecedented and the punishment has swayed
Don't shoot the messenger they say
No, don't shoot the messenger
No, don't shoot the messenger
No, don't shoot the messenger
Don't shoot the messenger
How could he win
Where were we wrong
What good could come of such a trivial case
Never could surrender to the scope of the law
Redacting statements that incriminate is wrong
Is wrong
Don't shoot the messenger
The messenger was shot for undisclosed reasons today
He misaligned his biases with the problems they conveyed
Don't shoot the messenger they say

Ephemeral Stroll
04:45
|

Let the terror breathe in the predicament
Let the fear flood the streets
Let the basin bang on the wicked jar
We all march to the beat
Don't get caught up in the fundamentals
Give it up to the ivory throne
The lion stalks it's prey in the wild jungle
Sinks it's teeth into the bone
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
(I thought we were past this)
(Thought we were past it)
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
(I thought we were past this)
(Thought we were past it)
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Burn the sages forfeiting prophecy
Give the alter a faltering eye
Crawl up to the summit of a pyramid
Where you will encounter a guide
Paint the tenements with ambiguity
Give it a nudge and the wink of your eye
Persuade the voices to cease all vibrations
Domination of all man kind
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
(I thought we were past this)
(Thought we were past it)
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Though we were on the mattress
From here where do we go
(I thought we were past this)
(Thought we were past it)
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll
Thought we were past the ephemeral stroll

Polymath
05:04
|

Innovation suffers from the selfish hands
That supervise your path
Folding stigmas under a heavy price
That weighs upon your craft
Nine A.M. to four you're just a cubicle
To host provocateurs
Bound by limitations
Implantations that were written by the board
Polymath
You paved the way over a senseless litigation
(You were hoping for a holiday but you left it at the station)
You played the game but lost the negotiation
Cause if you're really in a jam
Rely on supply and demand
Polymath
Put everything on hold to focus on your obligations
(You were hoping for a focus group and some backdoor infiltrations)
Returning to the fold through a company liquidation
Cause if you're really in a jam
Rely on supply and demand
Polymath

Surveillance Theater

Gone was the average family man
With the teeth crushed by his hands
We hope this sordid tale alludes
To the agents watching over you
Frozen by the innocent cool calm collected message of my child
She's got a lot nerve to stage such a grand escape
Captured by the insolent impertinent rebellious ghost of denial
The mirror reviles a face that i've grown to hate
Under the glass and mahogany frame
Tracking my daughter and how she behaves
Voyeuristic reconnaissance eye
Selling her privacy under a guise
Calculating the demise of some son of a bitch advocated by clemency
The serial prints and paints the hand
(Holding the wheel of a neighbor's van)
But it wasn't
It was just a lone predator
(Looking for game at the watering hole)
Violence captures the law of civilized man
(Hatches the scheme he gleans from Pan)
Nature is red in tooth and claw
(As they descend on the throat of the fawn)
Privacy's for sale
(Hoist the suspensors)
Agencies terrorizing the citizens
(Fasten restraints
Lower him down)
That they're infantilizing
(On the chevalet)
Data's (the) Holy Grail
(Bellowing sounds)
For companies subsidizing
(As you add the weights
Hear his affliction)
Subconscious media that they're sexualizing
(As you mutilate)

Wilson's Song
04:13
|

|
Small talk, little conversation
Living on the surface causes mass frustration
Feeling bored, turns to apathy
And apathy will soon turn to agony
Where does this lead to?
Where does this leave you?
What does this lead to?
Lead to
Take a breath (Take a breath)
Take a rest (Take a rest)
Take a breath (Take a breath)
Take a breath (Take a breath)
How can I make you understand?
How can I show you the world through my eyes?
People are pain but loneliness is misery
Life is a mystery
More doubt, more self-hatred
Every word spoken is another breath wasted
In childhood my problems seemed so little
Now all falls apart when it get too much to handle
Where does this lead to?
Where does this leave you?
What does this lead to?
Lead to
