1.	Woke (free) 00:56	lyrics	download
No fourth estate in a corporate state, casting ballots, what a fucking waste. Obfuscation leaves a bitter taste, I have no faith, I can't relate. WOKE.
2.	Conviction (free) 00:47	lyrics	download
Won't stop talking but you're saying nothing. Just keep acting like you stand for something. No conviction.
3.	Disconnected (free) 00:37	lyrics	download
Compulsive insincerity, repulsive lack of clarity, presumptive solidarity, without a second thought. I wanna be disconnected. Subjective or reality, a black and white mentality, just shallow generalities, no context to the plot. I wanna be disconnected. I'd rather be...
4.	Depleted (free) 01:04	lyrics	download
Disgusted and drowning, I loathe my surroundings, what happens when you're out of songs to sing? Losing interest in beautiful things, except the calm that silence brings. A touch too short, a breath too late, contemplating all that's left to hate. It's all shallow thoughts and misspoken words, that leave a shattered ego disturbed. Truth lost in casuistic dialect, I'll get more honesty from a noose wrapped around my neck.
5.	Expectations (free) 00:27	lyrics	download
One more fucking obligation, another chip in the cracked foundation. Expectations. Another weight on my mental state, one more straw and I just might deviate.
6.	Matthew 6:1 (free) 00:41	lyrics	download
Faith is nothing but a shadow cast on fading light from half-dead stars. So keep your hope and empty prayers, we've been through hell and we wear our scars. We've been through hell
7.	Are We Living In The Same World? (free) 01:14	lyrics	download
Shouting in the wind while daylight burns, signaling virtue with a mask of concern. Toe the mark with your beliefs, for a pat on the back and a sense of relief. Are we living in the same world? Praised on social media, another mass hysteria. The witch is hung yet the devil roams free, left to bespeak your vanity.
8.	We Are What We Pretend To Be (free) 00:42	lyrics	download
Tread lightly and watch your back, a salve won't save you now. The fallen angel has you in it's claws, the show goes on with no applause. It's time to disassociate. Give in to the demons, accept your fate. We are what we pretend to be.
9.	No Say (free) 00:38	lyrics	download
Complacency envelops my dreams, grasping at threads of a shirt I once wore. No voice to scream. Left with no fucking say.
