Consequence
01:23

Gotta be so low
That a contraband makes you the man
Oh, oh
They say we outta know
That it's consequence of all our sins
Oh, oh
But they let the poison flow
Take the pain away don't hesitate
Oh, oh
So where you gonna go
When another fix won't do the trick
Oh, oh

Highly Functioning Mind
03:28
|

Frantic pacing, going back and forth
Mind is aching I need some more
Hesitation the enemy
Suffocation or ecstasy
Drowning my pain, take me away
Sell me a cure
Could it be, the mystery, the recipe, a potion
Come and take me oh so high
Elevation, illumination, fabrication of a
Highly functioning mind
Back to back again they'd always say
Money in hand, yeah we making a band, yeah we taking it all the way
This and that and this is what ya pay
Enslaving the credit, they aid and abet it, they're making it hard to play
This sensation, yeah
Preservation, yeah
It's a hollow dream
I can't make you see
Bottles and pills, fanning the flame
Til nothing remains
Could it be, the mystery, the recipe, a potion
Come and take me oh so high
Elevation, illumination, fabrication of a
Highly functioning mind
Gotta be so low, that a contraband makes you the man, oh, oh
They say we outta know, that it's consequence of all our sins, oh, oh
Could it be, the mystery, the recipe, a potion
Come and take me oh so high
Elevation, illumination, fabrication of a
Highly functioning mind
I'd trade my bliss to function
This path of self destruction
Has only left me wanting more
It's only left me wanting

Break The Simulation
03:24
|

Yeah
Im at the base of the hill
While all the people at the top are busy living for thrills
Yeah
It ain't a matter of skill
It's only well connected people paying their bills
Breeding envy
Don't you wanna see
Don't you wanna be
Think this shit is free
At least
I can be complete
See you in the streets
I can make you bleed
Take it away and they'll make you feel pain
Confusion, seclusion, infecting your brain
Disgrace to the state if you don't pull your weight
You're blinded to start so you don't see the game
Division
Can't live without it
One vision
Forget about it
How funny
You want it, want it
Blood money
You got it, got it
Ah-ah-ah
Run from the desperation
Ah-ah-ah
Break from the simulation
In time you'll find that my mind has been redesigned to ignore the signs
It tries to flatline the signs of decline, it tells me I'm fine, to push it aside
This is the part, a Machiavellian mind to keep betraying your kind
Rip out their heart, they try to tell you it's fine but now you know it's a lie
Take to the stage while they're looking away
Drowning in rage while they're breaking your face
We simmer in pain trickled down from the hate
A worldview for one that the rest can't negate
Division
Can't live without it
One vision
Forget about it
How funny
You want it, want it
Blood money
You got it, got it
Ah-ah-ah
Run from the desperation
Ah-ah-ah
Break from the simulation
"Oh won't you do it again"
She said, or this will come to end
Stagnant, I'd rather be dead
Inside your head again, again, again, again
Forget the ones who we bled
Don't hear the words that we've said
Soon as you're head's on a cloud, you won't look down
Sunshine is all that you see
As you forget how to read
Into the lies that we feed you
Division
Can't live without it
One vision
Forget about it
How funny
You want it, want it
Blood money
You got it, got it
Ah-ah-ah
Run from the desperation
Ah-ah-ah
Break from the simulation
Ah-ah-ah
Unseen manipulation
Ah-ah-ah
It's time for liberation

Peace Of Mind
03:24
|

Hey
I'm gonna take my time
Get me that peace of mind
Want you to read the signs
I need a moment
Hey
You want an explanation
But I ain't got the patience
So kill the conversation
And in my mind I know
I gotta let this go
Take the time to be complete, to be the me I feel I always want to be
Hey
I'm gonna take my time
Get me that peace of mind
Want you to read the signs
I need a moment
Hey
Want you to step it back
Don't need no heart-attack
I know you think I'm doing fine
I need a moment
What
Hey
Why can't you read my mind
Don't wanna be unkind
But you just waste my time away into another day so why
What am I to say
I know this ain't the play
And when you turn to me I find I'd like another moment
Always near
Live in fear
I wanna disappear
Words come out
Expression
Of your mouth
Can't help it
Hate the sound
So selfish
Drown you out
Words come out
Expression
Of your mouth
Can't help it
Hate the sound
So selfish
Drown you out

Apparition
03:11
|

Hold on
To your seat
Cuz I'm wired like a battery
Yeah I'm on
On my feet
Lookin like something's the matter with me
More shots
On repeat
Like my self destruction bittersweet
I'm too lost
To redeem
You'd be up all night if these walls could speak
Sins still unforgiven
Guilty apparition
All of me still bitter
What could have been, what shoulda been, it keeps on
Calling me so bitter
None of me will ever be complete if
History's repeating
A bitter pill to self-fulfill my endless misery
Not gonna hesitate, run away or back down
Slip into a vegetal state
Bury my nose into the screen
Distracted but I can't escape
Nobody around to intervene
Swimming in fluorescent light
Soaking the walls like kerosene
Nodding off is gonna ignite my unsound mind
Still refuse to listen
Locked inside my prison
Deadly apparitions
Don't need no permission
All of me still bitter
What could have been, what shoulda been, it keeps on
Calling me so bitter
None of me will ever be complete if
History's repeating
A bitter pill to self-fulfill my endless misery
Not gonna hesitate, run away or back down
They said it's all in my head
No going back, I've tried it
Drowning in words left unsaid
I cannot stand the silence
All of me still bitter
What could have been, what shoulda been, it keeps on
Calling me so bitter
None of me will ever be complete if
History's repeating
A bitter pill to self-fulfill my endless misery
Not gonna hesitate, run away or back down

The look on your face
Your horrible taste
I really don't fuck with you
You say that you're fine
I know it's a lie
Your stuck in some point of view
Where everything around you is a problem
But you ain't doing shit to really solve them
You just sit around and wait for something good to come your way
What a waste of space
You've got a way with words, you know you really do
Puffing out your chest but there's no follow through
And then you hide away, can't look me in the eye
Being seen with you is social suicide
I can't take this
Can't stand this pain
So much to say
You turn away
Can't stand this silent treatment
Won't play your games
I've learned to hate
Your every way
Cause you and me we're not the same
Can stand your vibe, your just a parasite
Call yourself a man, can't look me in the eye
I'll mow you down if you're in front of me
I've seen your face, so what's it gonna be
Let's go, fight me
Can't stand this pain
So much to say
You turn away
Can't stand this silent treatment
Won't play your games
I've learned to hate
Your every way
Cause you and me we're not the same
I'm feeling my vibe
I hope that you mind
I really don't fuck with you
Keep talking your shit
I know that you will
Love that I'm on your mind
Yeah you always go around creating problems
You never even try to fucking solve them
All you ever do is interrupt my life to drain away all my energy
Can't stand this pain
So much to say
You turn away
Can't stand this silent treatment
Won't play your games
I've learned to hate
Your every way
Cause you and me we're not the same
