Depth Charge 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Plunge into unchartered waters Get as deep as you can get Suffocate your will to falter Worse to wonder than regret Half Life - Flailing in darkness Hapless - Swinging at ghosts Crisis - Who really wants this? Depth Charge - Battle provoked Castigate the existing structure Detonate the ladders highest rung The status quo begs to be shattered Before you blink your wars begun Front line - Navigate darkness Focus - Swinging at ghosts Lifetime - What do you want from this? Depth Charge - Battle evoked Ruthless in your execution Fuck the world and watch it bleed No time left for institutions Sick of all the gluttonous greed Concentrate with blinding focus Waste not want not for yourself Now’s your days of wine and roses Break out of your gilded cell Aspire to be mild-mannered Disparate views of wrong and right Airstrike aimed at Stepford standards Set this fucking place alight No time left for half-assed measures Hit those bastards where they live Fight the pain and find your pleasures Decide which fucks you want to give Spotlight - Out of the darkness Focused - Exorcise ghosts War wounds - Permanent Scarring Depth Charge - About to explode

Dividing Line 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Thick as thieves since our forming years A thousand laughs and a million tears Dividing - Defying Chosen paths that we didn’t choose Opposing views as our circles grew Dividing - Defying On our limbs... Align For a time Dividing lines Deaf, dumb, blind Ties No longer bind Dividing line for my better health Playing cards I was never dealt Dividing - Defying Dividing - Surviving Can’t go back... Line In the sand Time To take our stand Black and blue and bloodied red Point of no return and better dead Dividing - Surviving Battle lines drawn in a poison pen All lives lost... Chorus Lost (lost) Out to sea Cost You and me Verse One step beyond any willing grasp Thinner than blood in it’s full collapse Chorus Gone (gone) Far too far Bridge 1 Victims of what’s said “should be” Then we became you and me Connection left to atrophy Went as far as it could go Grew what it was meant to grow memories what we have to show Knock down, drag out unrelent Disregard for what’s it’s meant Seems as if we’ve never met Tightest bond I hardly knew The truest truth that isn’t true All these years and now we’re through Bridge 2 Blood can’t be thicker than ideals that can’t be bent In spite of what they meant Blood can’t be thicker than ideals that can’t be bent messages clearly sent Blood can’t be thicker than ideals that can’t be bent Mired in discontent Blood can’t be thicker than ideals that can’t be bent Complicit need to repent

Blue Fades to Nothing 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Catastrophic clusterfuck the sun’s gone down we’re out of luck No chances left to stem the tide, truth be told, we barely tried Humanity on life support, no chances left, no last resort Denial gets us through the day, science sadly fades away The hills burn to the ground Our castle crumbles down The herd sits back to watch Existence - afterthought! Monumental time to die choosing comfort - living lies Clueless troll’s expounding trash, pretending that facts aren't facts Pathetic clan, head in the sand, denial’s where we’ll make our stand The flattest Earth the fear of truth Sci-Fi over Science proof! The hills burn to the ground Our castle crumbles down The herd sits back to watch Existence - afterthought! The oceans slowly drown Condemned to pass the crown Marching to our demise The next in line will rise The Roman’s fell in great excess Russia fades as she'll oppress The Mongols passed in infamy (no more British Monarchy) Now we die collectively Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock... Here we are a global Jonestown, drink that deadly Kool-Aide down Don’t deny yourself a thing, inconvenience really stings A selfish crave a navel gaze and here we are the end of days Let’s lean back and watch it die it’s way too late to wonder why The hills burn to the ground Our castle crumbles down The herd sits back to watch Existence - afterthought! Mountains of ice explode Seeds of extinction sown Fading to nothing fast We hardly had a chance!

Combing St. Catherine's Hair 09:33
lyrics

City of light and a tangible dream Not what it seems a darkness beneath the seams Bright eyed and ambitious Doe eyed and delicious Starting her life running far from the past Not her first obstacle and it won’t be her last Wide eyed and persistent Time flies in an instant Settling in hoping to restart again Letting him in is where the trouble begins Blind eye and masochistic Black eyed and resilient Sitting on the edge of the bed She held back a tear and dropped her head How did it ever come to this? How did it ever come to this? How did it ever come to this? How did it ever come to this? ... again She feigned a smile as she stood up tall collecting what was left of herself Her spine was tight and her dress was torn better times in a frame on the shelf She moved to the door though she’d been here before and she knew that she would also be back Deep in herself a disregard for her health in him she saw something she lacked And through it all her skin would crawl at the thought of the men she would attract With a sparkle in her eye that always starts with a lie and the cycle would start over again She might be through with her past but her past isn’t through with her yet You’ve come this far with all your scars now shine on

True Ruin 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Bury your head To what lies ahead Nothing but dread (your reckoning) True ruin Gathering your thoughts for nearly all your life bidding all your time ’til it’s exactly right Waiting for a day that surely has to come Facing down the barrel of a loaded gun Following a plan as it’s supposed to be Mapping out a life that can fulfill your dreams Quiet down your heart and following your head Tidy up your life and now you’ve made your bed Never do your wrong in favor of their right Never had a struggle that you had to fight Found success exactly as was planned for you Prepping for a future that you didn’t choose Ruined from what you've been doing Ruined by what you’ve been choosing Ruined from what you weren't doing Ruined by what you weren’t choosing Ruined from what you've been doing Ruined by what you’ve been choosing Ruined from what you weren't doing Ruined - You fucking blew it! Now you're racing closer to your last hurrah Balled up in a corner and you gently sob Counting all the days you lost along the way Never had a chance to win a losers game Lift up your head No longer ahead Here in the now (your reckoning) True ruin

Soft Tissue 06:16
lyrics
buy track
There’s an underbelly of hope Just a little slack in the rope If we can only manage to cope... with each other Soft tissue's exposed - vulnerabilities shown - terrifyingly prone - out here all on your own - alone…alone Hanging on the edge of tomorrow Failing to live up to today Carcass that’s increasingly hallow Lifetime holding our wolves at bay Exposure of a worldview so callow Daunting in a need to compete Carcass that’s increasingly hallow Defenseless, defensive and incomplete Bound to fail forever ne’er do well

Time crawling by Water to wine Ego aside Nerve endings fried Smothering cries Facing the lies Mothering tries Patience has died cunning cunning cunning cunning... gunning gunning gunning gunning… Choking on strife Deaf dumb and blind Squeezing the life Whisper goodbye Time crawling by Facing the lies Squeezing the life Whisper goodbye Time crawling by Water to wine Ego aside Nerve endings fried Smothering cries Facing the lies Mothering tries Patience has died rushing rushing rushing rushing ... crushing crushing crushing crushing... Whisper goodbye
