What can be said
About the nature of our thinking
Humanity's greatest flaw
Resides in our minds
The decisions we make
Further our demise
Depravity never seemed so inviting
We continue our lifeless plunge
Into a deeper grave
Reserved for us to rest
|

Altered Motives
00:48
|
|
||
The intent we have
To waste away
Further from our best selves
Cultivating hate and a toxic life
Malnourished beyond belief
Draining on ourselves
And those who love us most
Must we suffer
Must we die
Decisions are free
But our hands are bound
By the choices we made
|
||||

I used to dwell in the shadow of my past
Unhealthy decisions on a frail path of life
Succumbing to a lesser self
Succumbing to my demise
Doubtful intentions
Make poor decisions
I couldn't see past my repetitive state
Couldn't contain my wrath of hate
For the grasp I once let it take
I wanted more
To find some peace
Something to set my mind at ease
Perception is everything
When you dwell in your own hell
Perception is everything
And I owned it so well
Succumbing to a lesser self

Residual Matter
01:32
|
|
||
Debris of beings
Once there
Packaged
Manufactured
Into our homes
Nerves
Infliction
Pain
Emotion
Not a necessity
All pain felt the same
Not a necessity
All caged to remain
This is not a necessity
This is not a necessity

Our Habitual Complacency
01:55
|
|
||
Will we sit back
Will we remain
Lack of will
Lack of desire
To progress in health
To progress in wisdom
Lacking solutions
Content to dwell in fear
Locked in
Driven away
Sheltered in our stillness
Our inactions now define
The mortal dilemma
Lacking progression
To progress in health
To progress in wisdom
Lacking solutions
Content to dwell in fear
Our habitual complacency
Will drive out our kind
Drive out our kind

Watch It All Die
01:21
|
|
||
Will we just sit back
And watch it all die
Are we more
Than the errors of our past
Just one look
Shut it all down
Just one vow
Shut it all down
It's all over from here
One step at a time
Into a greater tomorrow
Shut it all down
Watch it all die
|

Integrity's End
00:55
|
|
||
This is integrity's end
Draped in decadence
Lacking in loyalty
Never a slave to a drug
Never a slave to a fraud
Built on selfish motives
Injected
Popped
Snorted
Decay
This is integrity's end
No slave to substance
Never a slave
Never a slave
|
||||

|

The truth is as plain as day
Smothering in this place
Soaked in greed
Craving a need
Dead is our home
Dying is our own
Bred to die
That's the fact
Bred to die
Fail to act
Profit over survival
Business as usual
Exploited to our advantage
There's money to made
|

The Final Plight
01:12
|
|
||
I'm done making choices
That will not last
I'm through letting myself down
The time has come
The time has passed
Day in and day out
What do I have to give
To my future self
What do I have to gain
To my future self
Piss poor choices
Show my true nature
No more excuses
Make this day your own
My past as dead as I was
My past as dead as I was
