Take Me Down

It's not what you feel but what your see
Take me down
Perpetuating it by degrees
Take me down
Yes I see what it does to me
Take me down
It's not a place that I want to be
Take me down
Try to make them realize dysfunction that is real
Every step I take just begs to be denied
So hard to see it through the nothing that I feel
Hard numb hands without the will to be of use
Lifes hard enough with pain like that
Three steps forward, four steps back
Every breath could be your last
But exhaustion enough to make you crack
Your friends and family all agree
That time and chance is theirs to see
Some drag you down, some set you free
Very few leave it up to me
Every plan's not good enough
Take me down
Always room to cheat or lie or bluff
Take me down
Once more into the black
Take me down
I'm never coming back
Take me down
Every hard-won cheap success I've never kept as mine
Cumulative, to far ahead to see the tide
Spin the old punchline until it twists to my design
Change will happen with or without my own will
Around every corner the unknown lies
Benefits often wear disguise
Lessons learned from those I despise
From the oldest lows to the riches highs
What you fear the most can be our guide
Codes and sigils to be implied
Past mistakes I'll cast aside
Emboldened by things once left aside
On the mend ready to attack
Take me down
Premeditate rather than react
Take me down
Razor sharp and carbon black
Take me down
I'm never looking back
Take me down

We Are Patient Zero

Verse 1:
We are patient zero/Fuck it all away
We are patient zero/A Social Disease
We are patient zero/A deadly game we play
We are patient zero/Begging for it please
Bridge:
Drinking lost it's thrill
Then smoking lost it;s thrill
Then art lost it's thrill
Then life lost it's thrill
Exploit it/Consume it/Throw it away
We are patient zero/Command and obey
Verse 2:
We are patient zero/There's a plastic island
We are patient zero/In the North Pacific
We are patient zero/We could move there
We are patient zero/Bring more junk to fill it
Chorus:
Worshipping bureaucracy
Tangled like a twisted tree
A gilded fetish what you need
It's hollow
A pale man with a painted face
Sells you food with cardboard base
Tells you that you love the taste
It's hollow
I want to be king
Fat and starving
Drugged and dieing
It's hollow 4x

Shopping and Fucking
04:32

On Sale / Buy Now / Get Fucked / Ask How
You want it / You need it
Everything goes
Will you try it?
Will you buy it?
Will you take it?
Will you break it?
Everything must go away

Splayed Out/Played Out

Verse 1:
Forgiveness...running to self-seduction
Bear witness...habitual in form and function
More extasy...pure lunacy
Don't wanna talk...just roll with me
Bridge:
Night after night after day after day after week after week
I can not remember
The way that we cling on to a dream
Like reality is so much greater
Splayed Out/Played Out x8
Verse 2:
Reach through me...pull out nothing but a handful of smoke
My true me...breaks love because love is a joke
Ever creeping...never sleeping
I'll tie you down...leave you weeping
Chorus:
Find time for me, and I'll find you
Honor to the devil
Wavelengths that shift from red to blue
On and to the level
I see it written on your face
Falling farther faster
That you could take another place
On and to disaster
Fall down on your knees, first in careless rapture
Oh no brother please, just another fracture
I'm not alone
