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

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

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
|

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

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...
