Superego 02:01
Born unto paradox out of the womb Oozing hero complex, didn't know to expect You to rob paradise out of the room Noblesse oblige concept, little to no respect Nothing makes me exception to the rule Beyond reproach and uninterested Nothing makes me exception to the rule Problems to which I'm contributing Cloning the poignancy out of jejune Noting the disconnect, object to the subject Whereupon clairvoyance seeing you through Hence all the impudence, under the threat of death Nothing makes me exception to the rule Willing to give up the privilege Nothing makes me exception to the rule You built the zoo now you'll live in it

Fear 03:18
Kneeling down at her creepers in the street Why must I codepend? Fly in the ointment to plying the trade Is it so obvious? Kept all your edges and lost the receipt Why so quick to condemn? Put yourself out there, imprison a name Where is the audience? Fear (situational) Fear (so insatiable) Fear (any social ill) Fear (of the worried well) Thought him the type to despise all he sees How are you too content? Zealous to jealous in bedfellow pangs Can I abandon it? Happy for you and the bug that bit me Should there be consequence? Glut of your guesswork all rife with mistakes What is there to defend? Fear (situational) Fear (so insatiable) Fear (any social ill) Fear (of the worried well)

Infiltraitor 02:41
Exploit anonymity Internalize your thoughts They spiral inside yourself forever on So nondescript I know, is your talent commodity fading? The hybrid that you opposed Is there no other malady? Self-taught by discipline and dissonance inside you Not that much you decide in spite Adroit equanimity Rationalize ersatz The viral divides your twelfth endeavor yon So nondescript I know, is your talent commodity fading? The hybrid that you opposed Is there no other malady? Self-taught by discipline and dissonance inside you Not that much you decide in spite

Rags 02:32
You wanna end at the beginning Ragging on your clothes You been courting with failure so long, you're engaged to it Overachievement's an oxymoron No idle time Oh the tedium of pennies Not enough to say no You wanna end at the beginning Ragging on your clothes You been flirting with danger so long, it's an arrangement As underwhelming the first of the month Your vital sign Oh the tedium of pennies Not enough to say no You wanna end at the beginning Ragging on your clothes Sack another worker They're an afterthought a person You can track another version Through the factories you own Oh the tedium of pennies Not enough to say no You wanna end at the beginning Ragging on your clothes
5.
Bones 03:10
I mixed the metaphor, you preyed upon the weak The squalor of your sleep, but how could you? Too vague a touch before, I found a new motif Your harrowing is chic when they want you... You made up lies My marrow knows They'll gnaw in time Your narrow bones Refused to wait, reduced to ashes You thought it crueler to be kind The Valkyrie who vaporized Undo, create, remove the axis They prop it up with pantomime The company condoned the crime You made up lies My marrow knows They'll gnaw in time Your narrow bones Wasn't making you happy For the time you put in You're withholding a grin You better wake up
6.
Entropy 01:15
Rust to the iron, dust to the fire Have you got it yet? You set upon an action, options spinning out of your grasp The death to the life you left the lime you tried to fail to emulate a hero Sad not evil evens apace
7.
Real Fake 02:22
Incapable to mutate, and unwilling to change 'Cause all I wanna do is everyone of you in Fake it when you're unaware Incapable to mutate, and unwilling to change I wanna be a product of decay They're running out of reasoning The reaches of the leaders Held the ceiling for the cheaters Who delete another day Can you see the antecedent here to be the real fake? Been all too possible to Appear I'm down around you When anytime your patience met a look so vacant Blue, and I'm en solitaire They're running out of reasoning The reaches of the leaders Held the ceiling for the cheaters Who delete another day Can you see the antecedent here to be the real fake? You soapbox, the rally yays The full-stop finale nays The full-stop finale I'll be the smudger of the oil and unction Through the assumption You'll be the lover at arm's length They're running out of reasoning The reaches of the leaders Held the ceiling for the cheaters Who delete another day Can you see the antecedent here to be the real fake?

Nix 04:09
Walking around on your two cold feet A phantom of the feelings you held for me In the nighttime you dream, though you still can't sleep What could all this meaninglessness mean? Made me believe, when my doors were open cut my key New lock when I opt out Wanted to keep a corner for us, had to defy the category 'Cause I'm not for you, just was not to be... Burning my light to the grave, become a better man I'll find To take a pawn or make a king, nobody can know everything I'll never stop trying Hard to paint my way out again Through the partisan stripes The maelstrom and tailspin of understanding anything I'll never stop trying Burning my light to the grave, become a better man I'll find To take a pawn or make a king, nobody can know everything I'll never stop trying Hard to paint my way out again Through the partisan stripes The maelstrom and tailspin of understanding anything I'll never stop trying

Vortex 02:41
Satisfy the status To others' liking what's corrupt Cemented ignorance When in the spotlight's clutch Another white sings boss me up And busybodies run From the line subliminal, imply you want to scan the shelf But am I done giving up trying to understand myself Naked in line for your buff buffet Baby go fill your plate Emptied the envy of pikers and fakers Tequila sunshine, rude awakened Naked in line for your buff buffet Baby go fill your plate Emptied the envy of pikers and fakers Tequila sunshine, rude awakened To the line subliminal, imply you want to scan the shelf But am I done giving up trying to understand myself Nice touch spike of cactus Off blasted practicing enough Relishing generous Quipping your hard science Same color as titanium The meta data dump
10.
Steep 02:02
When they want you to prove that your blood runs blue Ain't it kinda quaint To counteroffer? You've learned to dread the market Opened deeper pockets to Those riding coattails oughta Tighten their belts to help you Darling I couldn't lose, cause you want me to Can't equivocate For ya any longer You've learned to dread the market Opened deeper pockets to Those riding coattails oughta Tighten their belts to help you

One 03:15
Under my lids no fibs Put my aorta on my arm Where I wear it with pride Though you count me out in the hundreds Because the difference hides In what I never learned from her What I'll never learn... When my code is art Bend running sinister In my coat of arms Head's against the grain When my code is art There's still one missing number In my heart In my heart... Was avid for a scrap of friendship Hardly mattered who From hopefuls and wastrels Unto the unfeeling That thickened their skin Just cause they were told And they tell me to... When my code is art Bend running sinister In my coat of arms Head's against the grain When my code is art There's still one missing number In my heart In my heart...
