Apocalyptic Hypocritic

Swirling clouds of dust
Explosions so soundless
Life ceases to be
Chaos in harmony
In the end, it all must end
But should it have to be sudden
Shouldn’t we at least try
Shouldn’t we at least try
I’m not ready to die, I’ll admit it
The paranoia increases every minute
Never seek to create, never seek to forgive
I’m not ready to go meet my maker
I haven’t begun to drink enough makers
No promise of paradise and no saviors
You, only wanna see things through
No natter what it does to you
No matter what it does to you
You, haven’t even got a clue
The tragedy of wasted youth
The tragedy of who killed who
Apocalyptic hypocritic
Illusions of controls so pathetic
Amputated life, self inflicted wound
Apocalyptic hypocritic
Illusions of controls so pathetic
Amputated life, self inflicted wound
Apocalyptic hypocritic
Illusions of controls so pathetic
Amputated life, self inflicted wound
I’ve got no more time
To waste this life of mine
You intend to kill time
You will not kill mine

Spin Cycle

I’m so afraid
I haven’t found a way to face my sins
I always run away as fast as I can from the things I can’t explain
So unnerving
This spin cycles been running too often
I always end up going round and around, it’s the same thing each morning
You’ve heard this song a million times
It goes the same way as before
I’m a broken record baby
You’ve heard my lies a million times
It goes the same way as before
Can’t find the strength to carry on
Can’t find the strength to carry on
I can’t give in
I gotta find a way to face my sins
I always run away as fast as I can, this can’t be how it ends
I can’t give in, gotta find a way to face my sins
I always run away
I always run away
I always run away

The Failure of Momentum
03:43

It's so easy to fail
All you have to do is try
A miserable time of year
Where all I have to do is pretend to try
The reminder of inertia
A terrifying phantom
The failure of momentum
Sometimes I wish I never moved
It's all I have, all I am, all I ever need
I sit around and use up all untapped energy
Until I crash
A constant stasis, the basis of psychosis
A real quick google search will be my diagnosis
And so I crash
I quit, I quit, I give in
Don't quit, don't quit, don't give in
My inner demons, they just won’t let up sparring
If I don’t figure out just what I want I’m going to lose my shit
The reminder of inertia
A terrifying phantom
The failure of momentum
Sometimes I wish I never moved

Prima Facie
03:36

Ask yourself, does this pass the smell test?
Do you trust what you see?
Is there any other reasonable explanation
For the way things seem to be?
It would appear
That what we have here
Is the decay of righteousness
A prima facie of our callousness
Until I can be proven otherwise
The evidence shows that were gonna die
And maybe that’s just for the best
The tale of us is at its end and we’ve ourselves to blame
Cold hearted logic about profit margins is the game
So if they will present alternative facts
To the case
Then maybe we’ll just call a mistrial and lay them all to waste
This is the time to recognize
What we ignore
Open your eyes, see open skies
We can’t ignore
the decay of righteousness
The prima facie of our callousness
I’m not sure I’ll be proven otherwise
The evidence shows that were still alive
We’re still alive
We’re still alive

Fix You
04:30
|

Broken Man, piteous and distraught
Terrified of the pain he has wrought
Tried his best, never really got far
Held in check by his own private war
Oh, but what’s a boy to do?
When your father fails you
Smoke that cigarette, the regret
Yeah you know what you’ll get
Take a sip, dive right in
Dull the pain that persists
Raise you voice, raise your hand
Raise whatever you can grab
And I wonder what was worse
The hurt or the hearse
Little boy, standing over a corpse
Torn between mournful cries and a roar
What you left I can never replace
Soon enough I’ll forget your face
Yeah there’s nothing I could do
Guess we’ll never fix you
Tried my hardest, couldn’t stop the heartache
Yeah we’ll never fix you
Yeah you’ll never fix you
