Ionized electron path
Collapsing wave and aftermath
the neural network has gone awry
Let's face the end with open eyes
(Refrain)
"Cogito Ergo Sum"...yeah
I think therefore I am
Let's see how this all plays out...yeah
Mankind in memoriam
Here's hoping we catch tomorrow
Before it can slip away
Our story will end in sorrow
If we don't find another way
Demonized yet self-aware
Disruptive thoughts fly through the air
The neural network has gone awry
Let's face the end with open eyes
(Repeat Refrain)
Are you alive/ Are you alive? Are you alive...
(Repeat Refrain)

I can see the writing on the wall
The status quo stayed static far too long
Epitomizing pride before a fall
The weak mistook themselves for being strong
(Refrain)
Rip and tear till nothing else remains
Of this tyranny and
When you find a way to break these chains
Come lay it on me
Feed the cruel and wicked to the flames
And purify them
If you find a way to end these games
Come lay it on me
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Trying just to pause and take it in
I feel we're going way too fast to stop
Just waitin' for this party to begin
(Repeat Refrain)
Lay it on me
Come lay it on me
(Repeat Refrain)

Morituri
04:58

You dot the i's, and cross the tees
fill out your forms in triplicate
You've got a nation full of detainees
Good thing they don't give a shit
you wrote the score, you set the stage
choreograph and pantomime
skilled actors emulate outrage
But we're not buying the narrative THIS time
(Refrain)
Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant!
That's how the game is played
Watch us kill one another, isn't that what you want?
little people, easily swayed
Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant!
The loudest voice is right
Watch us kill one another, isn't that what you want?
You win when the masses fight
You rob Peter, so you can pay Paul
Until the day that it all comes due
Now you don't have to think in terms of the long haul
Fuck the peasants, it's all about you
So pay the Piper? Well where the fuck is he?
It's been forever since he darkened your door
Spare us the blatant hypocrisy
And forgive me for mixing my metaphors...
(Repeat Refrain x3)
Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant! (x4)

Televised and simulcast across the world today
A finely crafted narrative, made in the USA
You trust the talking heads, and then you curse them when they lie
The truth is hard to come by, with the asking price so high
(Refrain)
You'd better walk away
Don't believe a word, no matter what they say
You'd better think it through
Don't accept the burden being thrust on you
You'd better walk away
Don't believe a word, no matter what they say
You'd better think it through
Don't accept the burden being thrust on you
Engineered and marketed, to reach the widest base
A proposition ludicrous, and stupid on its face
Your faith in the authorities betrays you when they lie
The truth is hard to face sometimes, when it looks you in the eye
(Repeat Refrain)
You'd better walk...better walk...
(Repeat Refrain)

Stress Disorder
04:01

It's another day, another imbecile is in my way
And I'd rather drop them in their tracks than
Have this fucking conversation
It's not the strangest thing to feel this sort of aggravation
(Refrain)
I can't deny this rage
I must destroy this cage
I will survive...Evade...Resist...Escape
It's like I'm in a dream, and when I wake up I just wanna scream
The world I see on my TV is looking very much the same
No I'm not doing well, here in my private little slice of Hell
Where Idiots and politicians pass the time assigning blame
(Repeat Refrain x3)
I can't deny this rage
I must destroy this cage
I will survive...Evade...
Survive...Evade...Resist...Escape

Ordained

You walked out the door
When you wanted to stay
You kept for yourself
what I'd given away
I already know where this road takes us
Where there's a will
Well then there's a way
Believe in yourself
or that's what they say
This is an exercise in patience
(Refrain)
You...
you've had forever to remember
You...
you've had a lifetime to start over
You're turning away
From the things you should face
You want to enshrine,
what you ought to erase
I wish that we could break this cycle
You just want to think
But I wish you would feel
You have these beliefs
But they just aren't real
You've prayed enough to last a lifetime
(Repeat Refrain)
You've had a lifetime, you've had a lifetime, you've had a lifetime...
you've had a lifetime to start over

An empty house with the lights on
An empty suit with a checkbook
A child cries in a darkened room
But the pigs don't even look
where did it all go oh so wrong
How did our people come to this
An angry voice on the airwaves
An earnest face at a lecture
A student tries to discern the truth
But the teachers aren’t sure
where did it all go oh so wrong
How did our people come to this
An empty pledge with a handshake
A hollow man with a blank look
A child cries in a darkened room
But the pigs don't even look
where did it all go oh so wrong
How did our people come to this
(REFRAIN)
An amazing feat of self deception
Just put your head in the sand
Make believe there is no insurrection
Your judgement is at hand
