Correct 05:17
CORRECT A path in the woods A field full of crop The need for a cop Food in a shop A thief in a store A fool with a tool A gun that is cool A love that has rules Correct… A grave that’s a home A game in the park A shot to the heart A war that is art A word carved in stone A fact that’s not true A mass with no clue It’s not up to you Correct… I fail to grip your broken heart We will survive; we won’t fall apart Unless we fear Unless we choose to stay in the dark Open your eyes Can’t you see that it’s not so correct?

Genesis 02:59
GENESIS There was no compromise And no regard for rules You were not satisfied You didn't realize I'd put the blame on you It was your appetite Stop acting like you know everything Stop acting like you own everything Stop acting like you know everything You tried to steal the prize The one you could not reach You didn't realize You sought the thought divine The one I would not teach And now we're on the line Stop acting like you know everything Stop acting like you own everything Stop acting like you know everything You tried to see the light It wasn't yours to see And now we're going to die.

YOU LOOK GOOD Our words all sold as commodities They copyright and brand our oddities What to say what to see what to ask for Or is the message just planted in our mind? We’re going down down down You can feel it all around It’s like a hug hug hug That grabs you like a drug And it will throw you in the air As if you’re not really there and the shrug: “You only look good when you’re looking at me You only look good when I tell you to stick your head in the ground There is nothing to see Stick your head in the ground if you want to be free, You only look good when you’re looking at me”.

Work 02:30
WORK It’s time to go to work again And I don’t even care that we’re full of stock It’s been like this since god knows when And if I don’t work I go into shock I don’t need the government I don’t need to please “the man” I’m a slave by my own command But I’m so tired now And why should I bite more than I can chew It’s quite stupefying how I wasted all this time pleasing god knows who I don’t need the government I don’t need to please “the man” I’m a slave by my own command Yes it’s true, but so are you I don’t need the government I don’t need to please “the man” I won’t be a slave by my own command Yes, it’s true, and neither should you

BABYLON BABIES Come and feed it extra extra baby Don’t try to keep it down Build the tower of Babylon babies Build the tower now… Let’s build that tower tonight Speak to me in words now darling Come and show me how We’ll destroy the world now darling Come and feed it; come and seed it now We’re half way to the heavens baby We are the lords of the sky A phallic symbol of man’s decline baby Oh, what a gorgeous decline… We’ll burn the heavens tonight We are all Babylon babies We are all gone
6.
DIFFERENT FLOW You just think you're in control And so it comes to this See the one forget the whole All for one and none for all There's a different flow And it's time we find it Somehow we always seem to run away And hind behind it There's a different flow More and more you're on your own And still you're willing To give up your life but not your thrown All for one and on and on There's a different flow And it's time we find it Somehow we always seem to run away And hide behind it There's a different flow And we've got to find it Cause we hit a different low

Detrimental 04:27
DETRIMENTAL Look all around You can't see the ground We've made so many things And now nothing is found Stare at your screen Do you know what it means? You're like a coin for a vending machine Accidental? Instrumental? We are part of the crime as long as we obey Detrimental, Influential Will we all stand by? If you do all the math You might stray off the path And on the way You'll find the meaning of wrath So salute to your king But do you know what it means? Is he the one that's feeding all of your dreams? Accidental? Instrumental? We are part of the crime as long as we obey Detrimental ties; Influential lies Will we all stand by And then just fade away? And it seems like we're alive Yeah, it seems like we're alive It only seems like we're alive
8.
Your Thirst 04:02
YOUR THIRST You’ll think but you won’t know You’ll sink but you won’t show Your thirst will drown your tears And everything that’s near You remain pure while I scream You guard but can’t protect You suck but can’t reject Your thirst will drown your tears And everything that’s near You remain pure while scream

INNOCENT FRAUD Cherry Coke, super heated Ego sucked, flipped, laid out flat and defeated Open pores, like umbrellas Side effects of speeding cars and random toxic killers Come and sit inside of me Neon eyelids, fluorescent grin Candy apple with a toddlers tooth trapped within White as snow, cherry red Can't you see there's a fucking bomb in my head? Come and sit inside of me Evil joke, just committed Innocent fraud executed and admitted Price of pain, all inflated The humdrum of a mind who's boring and sedated Come and sit inside of me Diamond teardrops, fought and earned Celebrate grief like a flame that danced and burned Hopes are hanging, by a thread They come together as a fucking bomb in my head Come and sit inside of me Got myself addicted to uncertainty Come and sit here inside of me

Life Support 07:05
LIFE SUPPORT Run, picking up the pieces one by one Turn to dust, letting go of everything I trust Bread and games, entertain me till I go insane Crash and burn, set it all aside and try to learn Plug into this life support I don’t want to choose and sort Dig into this master plan, come on over Raise a flag; even if it’s white it’s all I have Raise a toast, we are not humanity; we’re ghosts Plug into this life support I don’t want to choose and sort Dig into this master plan, come on over If parallels exist Then take me to the one where people never speak I want to see another option Maybe they just look confused And maybe words are not what they would use They have another option Something more from which to choose Something hidden by our rules I don’t need this form of life support.
