IN HUMANITY

Elations
You said, you said in amazement,
“it’s ridiculous to try”
You said, you said in amazement,
“it’s ridiculous to try”
You said, you said in amazement,
“it’s ridiculous to try”
You said, you said in amazement,
“it’s ridiculous to try”
If they dipped us all in elation
If they dipped us all in elation
Drift into spaces, so species of wasted
so inconsequential, it’s so existential
All looking for pieces of hope
Looking for pieces of hope
If they dipped the world in elations
Look at the children all dipped in elations
Drift into spaces, so species of wasted
So inconsequential, it’s so existential
All looking for pieces of hope
Looking for pieces of hope
Those departed never got what they want
I don’t wanna go down
Those departed never said what they meant
I don’t wanna go down
Those departed dreamt of the times to come
I don’t wanna go down
And those departed they tried on every lie
I don’t wanna go down
Those departed still waiting to become
I don’t wanna go down
Those departed no one remembers you
Everyone will go down
You said, you said in amazement, “its ridiculous to try”
You said, you said through your prism of wisdom, “it ridiculous to be”
You said, you said through the face of catastrophe, “it’s ridiculous to live”
You said, you said through the masses of hopeless, “it’s ridiculous to die”
It’s ridiculous to die
It’s ridiculous to die
The Disappearing Everything
If the virus was blind
It would sniff you out of its mind
And if the virus were small
It would become all
They don’t know
Kingdoms rise, and fall again
Wasted all you touch
Lost your way
Sacred day
So much lost
So much lost
And the virus will feed
On its children’s black catastrophes
And the virus will love
The mighty virus above
They don’t know
Kingdoms rise, and fall again
Wasted all you touch
Lost your way
Sacred day
So much lost
So much lost
They don’t know
Lost your way
Sacred day
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
So much lost
Apocalypse
The time has come
The end is here
No more waiting on the signs
And all you lived
And all you dreamed
Is all faded in the night
It’s gonna slip away
It’s gonna slip away
It’s gonna slip away
It’s gonna slip away
The human joke
Had just awoke
Children praying to the skies
The precious lie
That souls don’t die
Its gonna slip away
Its gonna slip away
Gonna slip away
Gonna slip away
Let it slip away
Let it slip away
The time has come
The end is here
No more waiting on the signs
Gonna slip away
Gonna slip away
No more waiting on the signs
No more waiting on the signs
The precious lie
Gonna slip away
In the end
All of our dreams
Fade
Into oblivion
So much wasted
In the end
All of our dreams
Fade into oblivion
So much wasted
All of our hope
Is lost
The end
All of our dreams
Fade
Into oblivion
So much wasted
All of our hope
is lost
Lost
The end
All of our dreams
Fade
Into oblivion
So much wasted
All of our hope
is lost
The Pale Blue Dot
We’re floating through a borderless expanse for no apparent reason
If you float away
If you float
Somewhere left to roam
Feel it
See it
Away
Emergence
This is the end of the miracle
This is the end of the time
This is the end of humanity
Choking on pieces of mind
To emerge to taste the time
The time
Passing
It’s only time
A mortal
To rejoice
To evolve to taste the day
And times
Wasted
On the hollow thieves
If we emerge again
Made of the stars
If we emerge again
Made of the sunlight
Who will remember us?
Pieces of soul
No one to remember us
Stains on the light
Having loved most of all
The tasting of time
Having loved most of all
The taste of the light
Move to waste the tasting of time
If we emerge again
Made of the stars
If we emerge again
Made of the sunlight
Who will remember us?
Pieces of soul
No one to remember us
Stains on the light
Having loved most of all
The tasting of time
Having loved most of all
The taste of the light
Move to waste the tasting of time
Having loved most of all
The tasting of time
Don’t Swallow Tomorrow
Don’t be afraid now
Of what you’re seeing
You’re only losing
All that you’re stealing
And we all explode into time
And we all lose all we find
And we all swallow the day
Don’t swallow tomorrow
Don’t be afraid now
Of what you’re feeling
The more you suffer
The more you’re being
And we all explode into time
And we all lose all we find
And we all swallow the day
Don’t swallow tomorrow
All the angels, way underground
All the saviors, nowhere to be found
Drop down
Drop down
All the virus, feed on the earth
Black intention, witness the birth
Drop down
Drop down
All the ages wasted on these
All the splendor plagued by disease
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
And we all explode into time
And we all lose all we find
And we all swallow the day
Don’t swallow tomorrow
Don’t swallow tomorrow
Don’t swallow tomorrow
Don’t swallow tomorrow
Whole World’s on Fire
Whole worlds on fire
From the inside
Whole worlds on fire
Nowhere to hide
Can we start over?
Is it too late?
Can we start over?
Is it too late?
Whole worlds on fire
Burning inside
Whole worlds on fire
From the inside
Can we start over?
Is it too late?
Can we start over?
Is it too late?
Whole worlds on fire
From the inside
Whole worlds on fire
Burning inside
Can we start over?
I think it’s too late
Can we start over?
Now it’s too late
Too late
Whole worlds on fire
Transfiguration
Lets just say I was floating through a void
Where life just happened to be happening
And the spectrum of illusions
Was a miracle on the plain
Lets just say there was any purpose and direction
And a view above perception
Like a stranded visitor
On the empty above the stretch
And the null
There’s little of much or sane or such
In this black time dull
We flicker like moments and rusty tokens
Where the deep intrusion of miracles awakens
Some reason to be
I’m bored with miraculous breakthroughs
I’m bored with true loves
I’m bored with genius and discovery
I’m bored with this breaking time
And the painful aware
You know what?
Go fuck yourself you sweet existence
Your bitter taste irrelevance on the end of races
You’re awkward and broken
And your tight little reward is like an afterthought
On the sensitive end
I really want to live as much as I want to die
I really want to laugh as much as I never cry
I really I want to lose as much as I want to divide
Into many million
Merely moments
That is to say,
Life!
What a joke
Such a serious choke
Like an explosion into time
Big bangs
Yours and mine
On a planet out of time
Wasted aways along the times
Toxic and take in throbbing minds
No time to lose no time to find
Wasted aways along the line
Wanted to run wanted to fly
Wanted to live and never die
Wander in waste extincted crime
Wasted aways along the line
Oh, black devotions
Feel broken time
Oh, spent emotions
Climbing the night
Pitches on sin the loser wins
Mankind and time the crime begins
Falling to climb the black malign
Wasted aways along the line
Epics of flame epochs of shame
Twisted remembrances became
Mankind evolving virus mind
All wasted aways along the line
Oh, black devotions
Feel broken time
Oh, spent emotions
Climbing the night
Spoken in universal sighs
Spaces and blacks and empty skies
Song of remembrance in the wind
Sparkle of endings to begin
Breaking extinctions on the plague
Watchers of nothings wait and beg
Black evolutions human rind
All wasted aways along the line
Oh, black devotions
Feel broken time
Oh, spent emotions
Climbing the night
On the ending earth…
It’s so good to see you
I hope you're OK
I heard you faded away
That world you remember
They’ve thrown it away
Everyone’s leaving today
We waited too long
We waited too long
We wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
To see
Wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
It’s so good to see you
I wish I could stay
But nothing remains of the day
When all that we wanted
And all that we found
Is rotting like bodies in the ground
We waited too long
We waited too long
We waited
We waited too long
We waited
We waited too long
We wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
To see
Wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
We waited too long
We wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
To see
We waited too long
Wait so long
Wait so long
Wait so long
We waited too long
Looks like we waited
We waited too long
Looks like we waited
We waited too long
Misanthropist
(Feat. Jon Davison)
Dawning, daylight
Touching the sky
Mourning, touching the time
Reaching, falling away
Eyes, seeing so blind
Tipping the countenance
Mankind, spawning on
Ending on earth
Cold song
To see on the dawning
Seething calculations
Bleak infested nations
Masses of the virus
Feeding black elations
Wanting, taking
Touching the time
Broken, kissing the flame
Evolve, falling away now
Into the void
Touching the miracle, ageless
All we lost
sketches of time
cold song
To feel on the dawning
Seething calculations
Bleak infested nations
Masses of the virus
Feeding black elations
The Madness
Darkness, space and empty
Unbecome again, unbecome again
Distance and the moments
Only all there is, all there is
Till all is lost
Wait for the hammer of time
Soon all is lost
And so I wait for the madness to come, again
Distance, sweet resistance
Sweet cacophony, bright catastrophe
Lifetimes, brief and bright times
Summer just begun
We had just begun
Time slipped away
Wait for the hammer of time
Meaningless days
And I can wait for the madness to come, again.
Briefly, only briefly
Did we taste the times?
All along the lines
Broken, shabby token,
Spoken on the wind
On the wind
Torn by the storm
Wait for the hammer of time
Meaningless days
And so I’ll wait for the madness to come, again

In Humanity
The watcher hates the fated coil
To bring the evoluted foil
In laws of flaws destruction reigns
The fated flaws in virus brains
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
In Humanity
The wasted ways along the line
A species come defile the time
Too late to make the masses whole
The flies amass upon your soul
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
In Humanity
Take all you need
Take!
Take!
Take all you need
Inhumanity
The watcher hates the fated coil
To bring the evoluted foil
In laws of flaws destruction reigns
The fatal flaw the virus brings
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you want
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you want

Take all you want

In laws of flaws destruction reigns
Take all you need
Take!
Take all you want
The watcher hates the fated coil
The rotted species back to soil
And in the end destruction reigns
The fatal flaw the virus brings
All falls away
In times fated coil we will stay
When all falls away
In times cold black void we will fade
To calm
To calm
Away now, away
Away now, away
Away now, away
Away now, away
The watcher hates the fated coil
The rotted species back to soil
And in the end destruction reigns
The fatal flaw the virus brings
Ending of the times
Ending of the smiles
Ending of the centuries
Ending of the wise
Ending of the dreams
Ending of the schemes
Ended ever-openings
Ending of the gods
Ending of the psalm
Ending of the sanctities
Ending of the fall
Ending of the known
Ending of the seem
Ending of the miracle
Ending of the miracle
Ending of the miracle
Ending of the prayer
Ending of the plague
In the black apocalypse
Ending of the saved
Ending of the love
Ending of the hate
Ending of humanity
All falls away
In times fated coil we will stay
When all falls away
In times cold black void
we will fade
To calm
Curtain Call
Who’s to say?
Who’s to say the hero wasn’t wasted?
Who’s to say the moment was in vein?
Who’s to say we wasted our devotions?
Who’s to say the madman was insane?
Who’s to say the actor was pretending?
Who’s to say the singer sang a song?
Who’s to say the play we played was ended?
No one stayed to take a curtain call
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Who will care what history remembers?
Who’ll remember which side won the war?
Who will know that all we found was pointless?
And all we had was every little joy
Who’s to say why we ever existed?
Who’s to say why there was us at all?
And no one cares if all our dreams have ended
No one stayed to take the curtain call
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Time to wave goodbye now
The wind will stop blowing
Time to say goodbye
The sun will stop shining
Time to wave goodbye now
The world will stop spinning
Time to say goodbye
Who’s to say?
The wind will stop blowing
The sun will stop shining
Who’s to say?
The world will stop spinning
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
Who’s to say?
Time to wave goodbye now
The wind will stop blowing
Time to say goodbye
The sun will stop shining
Who’s to say?
Time to wave goodbye now
Time to say goodbye
No one came to make the great reception
No one came to claim the big reward
In the end it all was a deception
Sad to see you take it all so hard
Come here (spoken)
