My life is just fine Straight out of the product line I have the kids and the spouse Watching TV in a snow white house Yet I need more than this Living, sleeping In your role With no life to call your own From time to time I dream Of a self that lets me live to the extreme Here, I boil with such rage Aware of how I'm led astray I'm locked in this glass cage Chill with friends In love with sweet Mary Jane Friends, have some sweet Mary Jane Dear abyss, dear friends all else is gone now Have Mary Jane, sweet Mary Jane Dear abyss Now, chill with friends In love with sweet Mary Jane Dear abyss, dear friends all else is gone now Have Mary Jane, sweet Mary Jane Dear abyss Then I saw dark clouds gathering All but green in their scent Fear, it sets in Dear Jane, we can't win them Seeking to rend us apart Steps echo in neon glow Running for haven, they come Grim dead cold eyes, then voice What have we here? Sweet fragrance of fear Your trip ends here I cry here cuffed Who did I hurt? I bleed on stone Please, hear my call Encased in stone Hurt and alone My life was quite fine Straight out of the product line I have no kids and no spouse Visit me here, held in the big house My life is no more Too far gone to restore Here hope, it's too bleak to see Another tomorrow for me From time to time I dreamt Of a self that lets me live to the extreme Here, I boil with such rage Aware of how I walked astray I'm locked in this steel cage

I've lived all my life A lie, thinking I am wrong To trust my dear self and To do what is right by all I let go of the past Just let go I've lived all my life A life of lie Designed by who lead us by Try and fail To thrive as a species To do what is right by all I let go of the past Just let go Where they will not find you must know What they do to those who can see Those who speak the truth tend to end up dead Spread the lie and you just might get ahead Their world is an illusion you refuse to see Force-fed to all it keeps you blind and tame Sleeping, you can't live strong and free Leaders who love you blind and tame I see further than black and white I hear cries of all struck by plight I feel we will get through this night I am wide awake and will not hide My crime was to use crop of a wrong grass Outlawed unlike drugs all should give a pass Their world is an illusion you refuse to see Force-fed to all it keeps you blind and tame Sleeping, you can't live strong and free Leaders who love you blind and tame I see further than black and white I hear cries of all struck by plight I feel we will get through this night I am wide awake and will not hide

Why do you walk alone? Go and find those of your own Know your true purpose Seek out those who'll set you free We rise, we fall like the sea I know your life in rain Lost and fearful all in vain We are one life-force All as children of one source We rise, we fall so How a leaf rides the storm Like the air without form Yes! We rise, we fall so As the leaf we ride storm Like the air without form we flow We are self-conscious universe gazing upon itself immersed Permadeath is a lie lie lie this consciousness will never die Life Love Light Shine bright Yes, we will ride the storm without fear Guided by what we revere Yes, we see light of dawn expanding Blissful insight, teach us How we are, always were free Permadeath is a lie lie lie this consciousness will never die We are self-conscious universe gazing upon itself immersed We are rising, falling like that leaf in a raging storm Knowing death is a lie lie lie this consciousness will never die Life Love Light In sight

First, ignore me A knee-jerk of painful cognitive dissonance Once, I shook there with fear as well Confused, abused you dwell Once, I shook there with fear as well Confused, abused but a shell Hey! Come, ridicule me Laugh at this clown Keep it up till I fall down We go To primal depths of your cerebral cortex Still standing, unscathed by the verbal abuse Sticks and stones there, let your fear loose Down we go to primal depths You stand verbal abuse Does this discomfort arouse hate? Truth must be painful in your state Let's shed a tear For all far and near Victims of your ignorance In our world corruption reigns Due to your withering brains A tear for victims of cursed ignorance You must fear all unknown Forever all will be the same Do not concern yourself with who we choose to maim Once, I had this dream Of a mirror that held a god Down here, I am waste Confused as to why this bleak fate Could love and respect dominate among us? Could we become divine, outgrow this? Let us awaken and all may live in bliss Let's shed a tear For all far and near Victims of your ignorance In our world corruption reigns Due to your withering brains A tear for victims of cursed ignorance It's all the same to your withering brains yes, it's all the same to your withering brains

Ego Death 04:46
Lone, my life runs its course with howl of your fear on my face Yes, this path is not worn and tried chosen as right not wide My ego, I now lay to rest Die now, pride My old guide By your rule we put humankind to death Each stands as a tree neath sky tall No tree can alone face gale and not fall I'm as flow of life for us all Yes, we all are so much alike Brothers and sisters We flow or wither alone The few see you as foul tumors They prefer docile consumers You were too dumb to save your breath Their servants will put you to death Die now, pride My old guide By your rule we put humankind to death Each stands as a tree neath sky tall No tree can alone face gale and not fall Each stands as a tree neath sky tall This tree stood alone, faced gale and lost all

Abuse 07:08
We know that dead men tell no tales That just might throw our plan off rails We are free to distort you all since birth Including your pathetic grasp of the Earth is our plaything Have what we choose to bring Your child before us Branded as our livestock You know what we choose Brain-dead, feed on the news You fear who we name Blindfolded blood and blame Behold, your worldview raped, broken lies No war is fought for what you know The righteous words are just for show You will stand behind this war like the rest Once false flags fly over the crest of the Earth is our plaything Have what we choose to bring War craves blood so stab yourself Then point outward where the scapegoats lie Prepare lambs for sacrifice Towers prepped to fall and justify your war V.I.P's are told to stay clear Defence is disabled, unaware Remote controlled planes from sky fall Each slides into a tower's glass wall Roar fire Fear choir Down feeble Small people Fall Fires start to die, smoke climbs black Time has come to end this mock attack So pre-planted bombs are set off Towers crumble down, thousands they drown Roar fire Fear choir Down feeble Small people Fall Smear their blood on goats you chose Nation blind with fear and effortless to steer No war is fought for what you know The righteous words are just for show You now stand behind this war like the rest As false flags fly over the crest of the Earth is our plaything Have what we choose to bring You know what we choose Brain-dead, feed on the news You fear who we name Blindfolded blood and blame Behold, your worldview raped, broken lies Your child before us Branded as our livestock Behold, your future raped, broken lies

As a species we stand here at the end Such a journey to have come that far for all to crumble down There are spirits watching over us now Know at your end Only matter will die, spirit will flow back home Home Only matter will die, spirit will flow back home We're at war Our campaign to end life itself We cannot win this time yet Sure as hell we'll try In a barren wasteland the last of us will dry I spent my life in a glass cage Built of fear and greed of great age I was blind to their insane rule Blessed by our consent We are the last ones to appear in this form such a journey that we took in this storm We did learn much from the love and the fear Human form fades Earth will cleanse herself till all sign of us fades Since birth we are taught to fear all unknown To see strangers far, near Fear of death equals fear of life The greatest truth I hold Slow, we sway Dance of decay Fools brought down By our tears we drown Drown as one like we lived none Hand in hand at world's end stand Slow, we sway Dance of decay Gone like all who through fear grow tall We're at war Our campaign to end life itself We are terrified of death so we lead our lives in hell In this barren wasteland the last of us will die We are the last ones to appear in this form such a journey that we took in this storm We did learn much from the love and the fear Human form fades Earth will cleanse herself till all sign of us fades We, the restless blind All one hive-like mind We, the restless blind To the truth: we are of one kind We, the restless blind All one hive-like mind Plants, beasts, all so entwined with us, the restless kind Look a beast in the eye and you'll see Your own far younger self They are here to learn like me and you Not to be herded and slaughtered for stew Same is true for all manner of beings They are part of the flow To be respected as me and you There are no strangers here as we all prepare to drown Drown as one like we lived none Hand in hand at world's end stand Slow, we sway Dance of decay Gone like all who through fear grow tall We are the last ones to appear in this form such a journey that we took in this storm We did learn much from the love and the fear Human form fades Earth will cleanse herself till all sign of us fades Fed up with our pitiful charades As a species, you stand here at the end Such a journey To have come that far for all to crumble down I'm a spirit watching over you now Know at your end Earth will cleanse herself till all sign of us fades
