religious hypocrisy
a heart full of love and hate
twisted scripture justify
your cancerous prejudice
your words are empty
your smiles are all fake
your eyes betray the words that you speak
The burden of free will is removed
your life is incomplete
without the words of a savior
that you ignore anyway
this half arsed philosophy
shatters humanity
has torn this world apart
your soul far from enlightened
as you perpetrate the abuse of your children
your dirty secrets unashamed
don't you dare judge us as the dirt that god won't touch
it's you with the dark secrets
it's you with blood on your hands

Shit Life Syndrome
02:37
|
|||
|
The shattered thoughts are kept in my head
the constant nightmare I'm trapped in
and the waves of numbing agony
each day is passed on a codeine high
but it's not enough to kill the pain
or light up the darkness
I still don't understand how a day
passes by so slow
but the years disappear with a blink of an eye
my shit life syndrome
When I was young I had a dream
I'd be up on stage or live by the sea
but now I'm old, a pathetic misery
I was fucked by life, cursed with a brain
that ruminates what could have been
the happy days with A.M.
still make me kind of sad
trapped inside a maladaptive daydream
of a man who plays a cartoon character
I'm flying through space and time to save the day
just somewhere away from me
so that's my broken story
I guess I better end it here
it's getting late and I'm tired

Out Of Phase
02:51
|
|||
|
Throughout my life I've been told many fucking things
been down so many dead end streets
the right way seems blocked to me
I'm lost in my brains manic chemistry
a prisoner shackled down
When I was 14 I was told I'd never see 30
and everyday from now to then I spent in fear
it feeds the noise in my head
ruminates when I sleep
is this the world or a nightmare
the light, the dark, the ending and the start
it's all the same to me
the cold, the warm
but when I look for a comforting gaze
your eyes just bleed into me
now I'm just an echo of a man
that used to be so full of hopes and dreams
now look at me
the light, the dark, the ending and the start
it's all the same to me
the cold, the warm
you'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart
I'll appear in every photograph but you won't see me
I'll speak the words out loud but you'll never hear me
when you cry I'd wrap my arms around you
but you'd never hear me

Talking To The Camera
03:01
|

Monday morning 8 A.M. another wasted day ahead
the bright light from outside hurts my eyes
fuck, I wish I could still smoke cigarettes
I wish I still had some kind of life
All my friends grew up and changed
moved on without me, they left me here
the last of the dispossessed youth
31 nearly 32 - the greys have started to show
I feel like that guy from "the worlds end"
This is the anthem of a misspent youth
wandering mind of a man with no direction
the suicide note of someone over the hill
the tired resignation of giving up
Saturday, one saving grace
doctor who at half past 8
I lock myself in my living room
after I take some pills and drift away
to a CD by Lana Del Rey
I am the one true peter pan
I'm never growing up

15 Years
03:06
|

|
I remember the day we met
the stolen kiss, the way you felt
your arms in mine
started the beating of my heart
although we were so young
your words still flood my mind
on the loneliest days I try to remember
that spark we had
There was a time I thought
we would be forever
I couldn't imagine my life without you
I couldn't breathe if you were gone
so many day dreams left undone
but I still have our memories
of 15 years ago
I remember the way you smiled
how you lit up my dark life
I'm just sorry that I couldn't have
been perfect for you
I let you go
I should have held on
it's too late
I miss you
I still feel your touch on my face
the grainy memory of our last kiss
it still breaks my heart
to see your photograph
the sadness in your eyes
as you said those words to me

On A Windswept Hillside
03:34
|
|||
|
the people on this planet are fucked in so many ways
the hatred propagated by religions that claim to be of peace
they are fucking hatred and abusers
"the followers of Christ" - just one example
a cult littered with the senseless
death of the innocent, why will no one help at all?
Arrian Granden at only age 15
she vomited so badly it tore up her insides
she slipped into unconsciousness
then her heart just stopped - she's gone.
In their final resting place I wonder if there is
a feeling of betrayal that lingers with
their parents who let their children down
let them die for their fucking religion
Not even a day spent in this fucking world
McKenna had no chance with parents that had
faith where their souls should be
a grave replaced a life that should have been
you murder your own children in cold blood
and claim religious exemption
you took away their one chance of life
tell me again how religion is a good thing

For Ray Stevenson
03:01
|
|||
|
I remember that day 7 years ago when I first saw you
that look in your eyes lit up my life
you gave me a reason to carry on
now you're gone my world has shattered
and I am torn apart without you
my little Ray
you were so loyal and caring
you were everything to me
you guided me through the dark
your eyes so bright
your love so unconditional
this place feels so empty now you're gone
you were my only ray of sun
my heart died the day they took you away from me
I just wish they took me instead of you
I miss you though you will always be a part of me
I miss you though you'll be forever in my heart

Their Great Wall
02:37
|

The feminist equality has turned into supremacy
a double standard holds us down
our species is trapped
there's no patriarchy
just a silenced minority
alone; begging for help
I will never apologize for my biology
all I've ever wanted in life is true equality
the right to live and die
(with) my brothers and sisters - in peace
accused of "white-male privilege"
expected to die first and live last
willingly give all that we are.
with the power to destroy our lives
with one accusation made to spite
does that sound like we fucking rule the world?
the shaming tactics throughout history
the blame, the hate and bigotry
the numbers you skew.
the label [of feminism] is only as good
as the contents of the jar

Message
02:50

tired and alone I wait in this room of mine
windows dark and blackened, but your name leaks through
and a buzz from the TV distracts me for a while
too late I’m so far gone
and if I say, my ending day
what did you mean, forever?
why did you go, what have I done?
you were my life
I don’t know what you meant, you’ve left me so confused
is it just a funny turn or something worse?
so many questions left unanswered
many with the answer I do not want to hear
what is there left, my voice is dead
have I fucked forever?
tonight I died, next morning grey
I say goodbye
what did you mean when you said
it lasts forever
and what did I do to make you change your mind
it was forever.
and if I say, my ending day
what did you mean, forever?
why did you go, what have I done?
you are my life
what is there left, my voice is dead
have I fucked forever?
tonight I died, next morning grey
I say goodbye

Co-A-Lision
02:44
|

|
the underclass are frightened
they're begging you to help
but you don't listen at all
when they call
plausible denial only works when
you are ignorant to the facts
you push us out in the cold
to brave the elements
turf the infirmed from their homes
kicking them while they're down
for all the suicides committed in your name
you are humanities disease
your promises rot
your face is one that
shows a rictus of contempt
one day you will answer to us
save our souls
save us
we are drowning
can't you see?

Where My Nest Has Fallen
03:19
|
|||
|
Every waking hour is haunting me
with a nothingness tearing through my head
sedation never calms the anger
never sets me free.
I see the beauty of the world through
cold and tired eyes
all we are, are just broken cogs
winding through moments of time
Every fucking moment is torture to me
so often I've tried to let it go
there's no point in holding back
there will be no escape
I stare at the bleakness
the surrounding walls
the things I've come to be
I'd beg for a little help
or the atmosphere to swallow me
or just to be someone else.
tear me apart, mend me with
nails and string.
...all alone

we started in the dark but made it far enough to fall
wind us up to watch us climb into the grasp of the decline
now with arms outstretched screaming "save us"
I've seen the sky turn red
I can feel the earth beneath me shake
as the leaders of the world demand for the greater good
awake from your sleep
now we are free
reality has turned to dust, are we all alone?
voices are calling out "can you fucking save us"
the mirror shows red and devastation
If we ever thought to hold extinction at the door
I'd ask is it worth it at all
to fucking lose over and over
till all around are bones and fire
in the darkness the end is the only light
the ray that sweeps through static in the night sky
say "goodbye" we won't see another day
blackout lines with disarray
at first there would be chaos and horror
as the planet fractures underneath
the agony and torment would dissipate into the ether
the sound of beauty left the sound of nothing

so you were drafted into this
how in the fuck did this happen
just want to go back home
its not your war
is it pride or dignity
with a knife stuck in your back
when nationality is a fucking joke
wake them up when this is over
and rest your weary heads
hold your hands to the light
in a desert storm we crack
empire crumble down
when death in uniform
calms the passing storm
avert your eyes
tell these words, forget to remember
we remember
call out to them
the city of the dead
they are dying
it has finally happened
heaven is empty and hell
is bursting down at the seams
and they insist on playing god
with the devil in their eyes
hold our hands up
to wash your eyes

Paper Hearts (Part III)
02:48
|
|||
|
The sirens buzz, lights flash red
this is it, this is war
halfway across the globe posits a certain threat
you must hold back the enemy
they disagree with us, this is terrorism at its worst
[it is burned into my eyes]
and I advise you, soldier drop your sights
look up towards the sky, it will be over soon
as light clouds up your eyes, a memory of her smile
a photo in your hand
[cut out these paper hearts]
and I urge you to reach under your bunk
where you keep that paper heart
that cut-out - you swore that you'd always return
home to your daughter
we must win at all cost, failure is unacceptable
come on soldier do your fucking country proud
burn their heathen homes right down
the religion they believe in - all anti American

sleep tight, tomorrow will bring black rain
the sadness will stop with us
as the static fill the air
in a flash of light
etches our shadows into stone
the walls crumble to dust
this, the end for us.
a second sun on the horizon
a blast to shatter our atoms
when the wild things grow
maybe then we will know
I'm here every step of the way
to count the moments to the end
180 seconds left
don't be afraid, put your hands in mine
let the blast unwind - into forever
a wave of sound echoes through us
a blinding light to freeze in time
static fills the air
as snow burns the ground
I will hold you as the atmosphere burns
we can watch as the fractured ground shifts
under us
shadowed in a storm of fire
hold my gaze as dark surrounds
the ash dances in the air
flickering like a star dying in the sky

:\>FAIL (Part VI)
04:31

The sun still shines though we're gone
nothing but ghosts haunt this land
green covers what was once grey and dark
The fires have burned out
there's nothing left but empty shells
and dust where we once stood
there was no last second reprieve
no one to stop it at all
The fear soaked bodies now cover me
a blanket of death, I can still feel their
breathing
tide ebbs and flows, ships rust in ports
white out windows smashed on the ground
only the words will remember us
the rain will wash it all way
life will find a time to re-emerge
on the fractured earth
it will happen over and over
it's in the nature.
I can feel my bones shattering
it breaks my heart to hear them screaming
It's quiet now, the clouds shift uneasy
the rain falls blackened
mute witness to the passing shadows
ended by the turn of a key
all that we were, the things we did
the winter has come to keep us locked in time
under the ice
the earth waits silent as we sleep
unconscious in our dreams

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.

This album has stuck with me in a very real and tangible way. Ever since I've heard it I always come back to it. The music is shiver-inducing and the sheer energy of the band members still impressed me after hundreds of times hearing the songs. Please do yourself a favor and buy this.
