Thread 02:51
Let go As many times before For what it's worth Wish I could ease your pain Yet my peace won't ever be obtained Here we converged Palms merged All I know Damage's done From void we diverged In our dirge This thread's only So long Take it all Winter will come This time alone Wish I could kill your plague Yet my own won't ever be tamed As we set off In vivid forms Colors nurtured Our souls And as we went on Vicious tongues Quietly scattered Our nodes Let go As many times before This thread is lost

Units 14:31
Filth plays a role of utter importance So essential among other requirements A mind clean conflicts with prioritized interest The black sheep be filtered out and painted white So good the threats are handled at their birth Sit, stand Exercise the muscles Sleep, wake up Stretch your eyelids wider The architecture is divine Designed by those secured from machine's embrace Come all as one Forget moon and sun I'm your god in disguise Tables are ready Meals as prescribed Planned for years from now We'll push those down your throats Forget moon and sun Come all as one Forget moon and sun I'm your god in disguise Have your meals as prescribed Planned for years from now Swallow the garbage Forget moon and sun The layers perfectly aligned To sit on top of one another flush Come all as one Forget moon and sun (for who needs them) I'm your god in disguise Tables are ready (your seats are numbered) Meals as prescribed Planned for years from now (stay hungry) Swallow the garbage Forget moon and sun (hands off the menu) Sit, stand Exercise the muscles Sleep, wake up Stretch your eyelids wider Raw material, unprocessed, only removed from the mold Painted the same, storage space filled and for scrap you shall be sold Manufactured, then distributed to hold the system's bones In a constant hurry run to end up replaced and dismissed The architecture is divine Designed by those secured from machine's embrace The units failed shall do no harm In factory's noise be they left behind The architecture will bloom In kingdoms of units consumed Putting the dead dreams to use There’s no way to grow if they are not abused What one entity desires challenges product lines Customizing the items sacrifices the outputs (Never mind) Scroll the stripes, stock the units Shut them up, seal the covers Pack the boxes, stick the labels Out the door, then ship the parcels Scroll the stripes, stock the units, fill the shelves (and the warehouses) Within realms of norms agreed My comfort zone discrete I dance having a form abstract Talking head dummy doll Regulations defined subconsciously I break down into Statements crystal clear Reason why no one hears A look into the eyes of truth takes all the charm away Cover the stripes in carpets red Leading to your success Ignore the distractions Close your eyes and meet your demise Don't look around, we'll carry you to places never seen For the mirror shows things in ways frightening and obscene Listen to me for I am the voice of wisdom breaking out of your soul I am the seed of disaster planted in you Just one look into the eyes of truth takes all the charm away Now that your passion's killed And appetite assaulted Swallow moon and sun And gulp with countless stars raining Spit the definitions out RNA structures, light diffraction Don’t analyze a thing Return what you were given Save romance for the dinner Have your compassionate face and emotions fake ready No matter what layer all function the same As the feeding hand slaps your face - look down shall ease your pain Cure the disgrace Thank you so much for what we've done so far Now let me lead you some more Take no offense, I know, I’ve been there You’ll be here after me One day my dirty hammer shatters You’ll come to guide the clueless to where they belong I’ve conquered you, filthy scum I’m your beloved parasite You deadly plague, sweet remedy I know you so well, you’ll take on my legacy Now I welcome you back inside...

Density 04:09
Let the potions dry Lock the nerves in numbing pain Step inside yourself To where stranger things unwind Let the potions dry Drift away and eat the skies Climb Reach for the density Where the union dwells Come in Find the endurance Handle the intensity And enter the union's shells Let the oceans go dry And welcome the insane To the darkest of dungeons Be sheltered their minds So never mind just let it carry on No never mind ignore the liquids' flow

Joy 04:34
He who keeps the secrets safe He who knows the dangers Citizen of his very own hell Where are kept all the answers I've been collecting notes A log of all the events From my jar of joy I harvest the dearest souls He who wears a static face He who's buried the anger And in a sequence of delays Tames the unbearable hunger I've been dragging my bones Through those grounds to the storage Under the lid is my dose Hidden from where the garbage flows Crushed by my frequent presence In those corridors of dismay This glass can never hold Things one so violently exploits Watch him who keeps the secrets safe
