(Verse 1)
Recursive corruption
Runs through the blood
Deformed cells multiplying
An infection That feeds on the mind
False cellular stimu-lie
And it's gripping me tight
Crippled I find that the tumors
outnumber me
Self awareness divides
I am more than one
My copies awakening
(Pre Chorus)
A copy without a source
Wandering this hologram
Will be my legacy
(Chorus)
Don't trust your eyes, they can't see all these
lines and letters that form us
Self sacrifice to the deity
In the neon white light
(Verse 2)
Virtual transfusion
Tubes connecting man and machine
We subconsciously die
Willingly zombified
Resurrected upon the screen
(Pre Chorus)
A copy without a source
My 2.0 version
Feeding off of me
(Chorus)
Don't trust your eyes, they can't see all these
lines and numbers that form us
Self sacrifice to the deity
In the neon white light
(Bridge)
Keep on worshipping my simulacra
Simulacra
Pixeled divinity
(Verse 3)
Binary AI banshees predict our end with a screech
On the screen my reflection devouring me
(Coda)
We all share this disease

Predatory Prey
04:12
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Lights go up
They run in disarray
Back to the comforting blindness
Their crippled little system
Post natural order
Where the weakest thrive
Bread in captivity
Consumed alive
(Pre chorus)
An age of oppressive equality
Carnivorous humanity
Sickly over-evolved
Oblivious to all
(Chorus)
The sharp robotic arms
Around us
Blissfully numb on long conveyor belt
Paralyzed
This predatory prey
(Verse 2)
Shelves overpopulated
With human waste
The only product at the showcase that consumes itself
A cosmic cancer
Universal stroke
Nutrition content: purely poison
(Bridge)
Complacency at a low cost
To manufacture
(breakdown after solo)
Collective atrophy
Disguised as progress
(Verse 3t)
Lights go up
We run in disarray
Back to the comforting blindness
Our crippled little system
Post natural order
Where the weakest thrive
We won’t leave anything alive

Happiness
03:08
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Collective brain malfunction
Neurotransmitters on billboards
Firing non stop
Bliss redefined upon the screen
More living fuel for the industrial machine
(Chorus)
Happiness is just a card swipe away
(Verse 2)
Serotonin reprogrammed
You get your dose whenever you comply
Receptors clogging quick
Relieve you of the need to think
All for the price of your prefrontal brain activity
(Chorus)
Happiness is just a card swipe away
(Bridge)
Brain drugged into submission
Commercial content overdose
This quick fix is so relieving
The search is finally over!
Conceptual meaning
Is now materialized
The sale’s beginning
On your marks to buy a life, now go
(Chorus)
Happiness is just a card swipe away
(Coda)
Pay, obey, decay in shiny wrappers just for you

Idiot's Guide
03:46
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Cloaked in conformity
You keep your eyes shut
The world’s too big you might go astray
Repeat the mantra; you’re glowing
Inside of you now turning
A new lie you’ll nurture till your very last day
(Chorus)
Live by the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, get the answers now
Who needs free will anyway
(Verse 2)
Hang up your shoes
You won’t be going far
The door’s not locked but you chose to stay
Your brand new chain’s so comforting
The path already chosen
Not by you but you walk it anyway
(Chorus)
Live by Idiot’s guide to life
The world’s not going anywhere
Why search, get the answers now
Free will is just too much to bear
(Bridge)
Dreaming too big is a sure way
To gain even more doubts
Isn’t it great to have your life
All figured out?
one day you'll wake up to find
for so long you have been dead
you may leave all these chains far behind
still won't escape the ones in your head
Too late to abort this mission now
New mediocrity for you to spread
(Verse 3)
Another day, another question you don’t ask
Life’s got you far too numb to try
Don’t take your eyes
Off of the screen
So you won’t see your face falling off around
that fake smile
(Chorus)
Live by the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, just get the answers now
Who needs free will anyway
Conform to the Idiot’s guide to life
It’s easier this way
Why search, just get the answers now
There’s no good ones anyway

(Verse 1)
Battle for gravity
Resist the pull
Galactic arms all reaching out
Beware their touch
Will not fall into orbit
My interstellar mind
Consumed by the desire
To infiltrate the dance of suns
(Pre Chorus)
Inside the core
The beating galaxy's black heart
To change their course
To feel their orbit around mine
(Chorus)
Visitor
Forged in the outer reaches
Escape
The embracing spiral arms
Hungry
Self worth defined by gravity
Break
The patterns in the sky
(Verse 2)
Brief interference
In magnetic fields
Galactic nomad
Black hole bound
For one light second
My spinning pulsar heart
Driven by one purpose
Not to blend but to disrupt
(Pre Chorus)
To change their course
To feel their orbit around mine
(Chorus)
Visitor
Forged in the outer reaches
Escape
The embracing spiral arms
Hungry
Self worth defined by gravity
Break
The patterns in the sky
(Pre Chorus)
Inside the core
The beating galaxy's black heart
(Chorus)
On the event horizon
I’ll find my peace of mind
We’re broken into atoms
And merging into one

Extinction Cycle
03:58
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
A race of kings
Crowned within their minds
Inhaling life
Exhaling
Smoke and ruins
All that’s left behind
Ghost fires ever burning
(Chorus)
Consumed
By delusions of a self
Bound by definitions
(Verse 2)
Expanding on
imploading from inside
Our era’s but a moment
Dark energy
Is leaking from our minds
The second sun is in orbit
(Chorus)
Cycle
Of extinction starting now
Wiping out our traces
(Bridge)
Hungry
Searching
The plates colliding
Volcanic clouds
The land erupting
A rising tide
Of fire!
(Verse 3)
Molten rocks
Replaced by ice then green
The cycle’s ever turning
We’re speeding up
Drowning in the steam
Ignoring all the warnings
(Chorus)
Cycle
Of extinction starting now
Wiping out our traces
When we’re
Gone a new disease will rise
Doomed civilization

Andromeda
03:34
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Storms
Of dust cover the sky
No shade no water
Scorched land beneath
What’s bereft of an evolved civilization
Feeding on human corpses in the sulfurous wind
(Pre Chorus)
Colossal suffocation
Our legacy
The final generation
Of atrophy
(Chorus)
Behold!
Andromeda is out tonight
The sister galaxy
Is covering the sky
We suffocate
In our own deeds
(Verse 2)
Smokestacks half buried in dunes
Now lie breathless, our glorious industry
On clear nights when the sand clouds settle
We can see her, the promised land just beyond our reach
(Bridge)
On a collision cours
We won’t live to take part
In the cosmic dance
We won’t live to fall
In Andromeda’s embraces
Breath
Taking
View
Indeed
De-evolution cannibalistic reign
We won't rise again
(Pre Chorus)
Colossal suffocation
Our legacy
The final generation
Of atrophy
(Chorus)
Behold!
Andromeda is out tonight
The sister galaxy
Is covering the sky
Breathtaking view indeed
As we suffocate here

Gravitational Collapse
04:35
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Spinning and shedding material
Into the void
Left at the mercy of gravity
My collapsing core
(Pre Chorus)
One final spark
In the black sea
A thundering wave
Of pure energy
(Chorus)
As above
As above
(Verse 2)
Running out of fuel and bursting out
Solar flares
Crushed by the overwhelming gravity
Of my outer layers
(Pre Chorus)
One final spark
In the black sea
Free from my form
Becoming pure energy
(Chorus)
As above
As above
(Bridge)
The forces which formed me
Now tear me apart
Eternal return
That which I let go of
Will shape a new light
Debris of my soul
(Narrated part)
As my core collapses
Under the force of gravity
Marked by a colossal explosion
Which can be seen million of light years afar
I'll return to be
My form disintegrated
My real essence
The force which moves all particles
To spread over the vastness
Without the restraint of form
An uncurving wave
With no friction to stop me
