No Compromise
00:31
|
|||
|
I’ve reached a final point
All options have been exhausted
Expectations dwindling
I’ve reached a barricade
Empty promises of compromise
No room for improvement
Visions strain the sickening choices
While virus stalls their gravel voices
I have reached no point of compromise

Mole

Failure fighting
Arms dividing
Internal conflict
Never solved it
Greater strides
And longer drives
A smaller size
And pointless prize
Agents invade your enclosed spaces
Disgusting men with friendly faces
With petty problems cutting wide
Separate those on your side
Secret police secretly meet
Devoured comrades looking bleak
|

Warmth
00:24
|
|||
|
A never ending spectacle
Of fires raging on
Burning brighter than your desire
To get anything done
Explanations wearing thin
Cross demeanor, repeated sin
Progressing farther, closing in
Motivate without the win
Setting fires in the town
Comfort levels crumbling down
|

Keep Up
00:38
|
|||
|
Financed by flightless,
Figureless fleets
Falling face forward
The cliff’s growing steep
Arguing anxiously
Avoiding the awkward
Alternating effects
You keep pushing forward
Digging deeper graves
Staying on course
Digging deeper graves
Keep up the force
Isolated incidents,
Invading interest
Ironically increase
To keep up the fodder
Silenced in seconds
Smaller sliced slivers
Silver suns shine
While you fail to deliver
You will fall down
|

Friendly Fire
00:43
|
|||
|
I can remember dozens of times
We’ve fought with the decision
Straining each side, cutting it wide
Little difference in opinion
The scraps you fight for
Are left on the floor
Like fights in the store
While the owners stock more
Throw fists in the gutter
No care for the others
From high up above
They laugh at your blunder
They laugh at dismay

Automaton / Press
01:43

Automaton
Automation of the critical mass
Critical masses feeling attacked
Ready to fight to the death for work
Working towards death continues to hurt
Is your art becoming mass produced
Or is mass production killing you
Growing heights and saws that dismember
Paid to fight death and hoping for better
Now that your body isn’t the buffer
Financially you shouldn’t have to suffer
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Press(ure)
Obsessive direction
With increasing question
Burning detestation
Greater mistakes
Nothing you’ll take
Away from the wake
There’s no learning
If nothing will stop
So keep up the pressure
On every single cop
Howling with grim grins
Discharged and they sink in
From hands with the pig skin
Bigoted to start
But hatred will hang
From every burnt cross
There’s no learning
If nothing will stop
So keep up the pressure
On every single cop

BPC (Best Pled Con)
00:50
|
|||
|
Absolution of an absolute idea
Fear of picking sides
Sideways stares, selfish and shouting,
“Nothing’s black and white!”
Arduous nights will cement your struggle
Neutrality’s simple when you never have to fight
I will not stare at the wall
I will not continue to stall
I will not ignore the call
I will be there for the fall
Your silence says more everyday
