1.	Cupid's Poisoned Arrow 04:55	lyrics	buy track
So here we are Ready, set, go for another healthy dose of those Hungover mornings full of guilt trips Looking for love Or at least some comfort in all the wrong places And finding nothing but Misery repeating itself Misery repeating itself What have we become We’re coming undone What have we become Together as none What have we become Together as none (Together) Fairytale’s ending We’re coming undone What have we become Together as none Coming undone At this point we’re just enemies with benefits Still conjoined by new blood’s liability Until death do us part Well death is certain life is not Until death do us part Well guess what death is certain Life is not We’re safe unsound We’re safe in harm Fear and self-loathing Euphoria mourning The ball and chain So unbecoming At this point we’re just enemies with benefits Still conjoined by new blood’s liability Until death do us part Well death is certain life is not Until death do us part Death is certain life is not Fear and self-loathing Euphoria mourning The ball and chain So unbecoming so unbecoming Now once more without feelings In our final race to the bottom Love ain’t nothing but a four letter word So unbecoming so unbecoming We’re just\| obsessed with\| the mess\| that we have made The thought of what you will say just makes me sick The thought\| of what you\| will say\| just makes me sick We are\| just ob\| sessed with\| the mess we’ve made We are\| just ob sessed with the\| mess that\| we both have made
2.	Too Big To Fail 01:56	lyrics	buy track
I am a power monger The world is my oyster Mine to do with as I please I am an all-devourer With insatiable hunger So on the oyster I will feed But I‘m not your average millionaire I‘m talking GDP numbers here I'm just too big to fail My god complex is not delusional I'm just too big to fail I could buy out, write off, bribe my way out of hell This new all time low is your life Toiling masses starving while i thrive Fuck your majority rule Democracy is just a tool To keep you worker bees in check You will never catch me broke
3.	Culling The Herd 04:34	lyrics	buy track
„Don’t stop the progress!“ The world at your feed Marinating in poverty and violence Apocalypse wow You only last if you don’t care So we all deliver and submit To the liars, thieves and hypocrites Subtle beasts Culling the herd Subtle beasts We are the prudes of Babylon Futility till kingdom come Cause we all deliver and submit To the liars, thieves and hypocrites Subtle beasts Culling the herd Subtle beasts Maybe it is true what they say (from pretender to fraud everyday) If you can fake sincerity you‘ve got it made you’ve got it made you‘ve got it made We like to hide our humanity Or at least keep it to a minimum Yes, we all deliver and submit To the liars, cheats and counterfeits The best gift you can give is neglect So don’t cloud the issues with facts The future is not going to miss us Maybe it is true what they say (from pretender to fraud everyday) If you can fake sincerity you‘ve got it made If you can fake it „Don’t stop the progress!“
4.	The Anxiety Plan 04:32	lyrics	buy track
We wear our wounds like silver stars Oh my sweet agony inside Nurtured, kindled, rising like a tide So listen up Hey! What's that sound? Sounds like screaming underwater Hey! Don't you lie! Don't you lie by saying nothing! Say! Say my name! Don't pretend there's any winner! Blame! Play the game! First round's only for beginners Fast! So let's go fast! (So let's go) There's no such thing as being invincible Quick! Make it last! Recovering from the irreversible We share these tombs with beating hearts We wear our wounds like silver stars We share these tombs with beating, beating hearts No! I won't fail! I will prove myself the man I am! No! Don't grow desperate! Just don't bite the hand that feeds on you When anxiety's waiting just stick to the plan Yes! What a mess! No one said it would be easy Back! Can't go back! Just keep losing dead weight Learn to float before you fly Just stick to the plan Learn to float

6.	Rise Of The Indecent 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Away with your Tired your poor Huddled masses yearning to breathe Wolves at the door Small minded fools Just lacking focus To identify the real The real plague of locusts So we all start as strangers divided at birth It's no big achievement to exit the womb Rise of Rise of Rise of the indecent If home is where the heart is there's no home for the heartless Away with you Cowardly fools Denial's not a river in Egypt Shipping tools There's no such thing as a full boat when we're all just clutching at straws Either clinging to shreds of a new deal or reaching for the wreckage of stars Rise of the indecent Rise of the indecent Compassion's a muscle Getting stronger with use So your chest must be empty As empty as your truth Rise of the indecent Rise of the indecent If home is where the heart is There's no home for the heartless
7.	Bite & Sting 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Aren’t we all just addicts Trying to fill a void We want it now we want it fast we want it all Before we shuffle off this mortal coil Before we shuffle off this mortal coil I bare my neck to your fangs The hunger for that sweet bite and sting We’re thriving in our Discomfort zones Drowning ourselves in A sea of endless refills Every hour wounds the last one kills Every hour wounds the last one kills let’s play dead Every hour wounds the last one kills Resistance is futile annihilation imminent Desire obtain cherish destroy The human condition We’re stuck in this redundancy rendition We’re stuck in this redundancy rendition We are stuck We gladly pay up our vanity fare We gladly pay up our vanity fare Aren’t we all just addicts Trying to fill a void First it‘s fun, then it‘s not, then it‘s hell Like doing 90 in a dead end street Like doing 90 in a dead end street I bare my neck to your fangs The hunger for that sweet bite and sting A match made in heaven Like vein and syringe Desire obtain cherish destroy The human condition We are stuck one trick ponies one track minds We are stuck one trick ponies one track minds
8.	Mainline Your Job 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Mainline your job Slave mentality Mainline your job Now you're all sinner baby Burned out and lacking sleep We're cutting our losses lately So will you earn your keep? Mainline your job Earn your keep Mainline your job Rise & shine Your life is subject to status ROI Determines what your fate is Give blood, sweat and your tears Give blood, sweat and your fears The game was rigged long before you arrived The short end of the stick is what you'll get in life Give blood (sweat and your tears) Give blood (sweat and your fears) You are so tired baby The kind of tired you can't sleep off There's another deadline waiting So give it all you got Rise & shine Your life is subject to status ROI Determines what your fate is Reduce to the max Reduce to the max So stick to your guns! Don't you let us down! So stick to your guns! Don’t you let us down!
9.	Antimotivational 03:16	lyrics	buy track
"Seize the day!" "The world is yours!" "Reach for the stars!" "You've got a choice!" One chance is all I need to fail forever "Do something today that your future self will thank you for!" So, is giving up too strong a measure? Maybe we are all where we need to be? What if I set my mind to "it" and still accomplish jack shit? Pursuit of happiness? More like happyish I think we‘ve maxed out Who needs confidence when I got me? All inspiration no motivation Who needs enlightenment when you’re too blind to see? Live every day like you’re a little more dead inside Selling happiness in this age of disillusionment A trade of snake oil salesmen Telling you to handle life like it is easy When the house always wins When the house always wins The house always wins The house wins anyway Who needs confidence when I got me? Half full half empty? Well, I’m still drowning in my glass Who needs enlightenment when you’re too blind to see? The house that utter mediocrity built

11.	Pay The Rant 02:43	lyrics	buy track
My world is over my world is over already And you just get to Watch it burn watch it burn slow and steady Well you‘re not a winner anyway What has God what has God done for me lately It’s not me it’s you An atheist’s considerations of deity SNAFU The tumor is me The tumor in me The tumor is me I am the Adam bomb The taste of pennies in my mouth This alien heart it feels like trying to burst out I shot myself I shot myself But i swear it was in self defense Well life is made in mistakes We are all we are all born with A death sentence The walking wounded and the living dead Even my reality check bounced Even my reality check bounced The taste of pennies in my mouth This alien heart it feels like trying to burst out I am a work in progress Constantly missing the deadline Well life is made in mistakes The tumor is me The tumor in me The tumor is me I am the Adam bomb You don’t know what it feels like Always love at last sight There is war on the inside Always war inside my head
12.	A Modest Proposal 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Everything Everything is a self-portrait And everything Everything is a diary What you don't know You can make Mean everything Mean everything Remain sedate Choose your soma Each in our own Personal comas Just parliaments of one Self fulfilling prophecies The I becomes undone Assembly line meets masterpiece So hear me out Hear me now my refusal To participate in this tiring/tiresome rat race So this is my This is my modest proposal Let's walk hand in hand into extinction Things may change, people however stay the same They stay the same Things may change, people however stay just vain So vain If ignorance is bliss shouldn't we be happy all the time? If ignorance is bliss shouldn't we be content and just fine? Something's slightly amiss! There's gotta be more to life than this! We're flawed by design! Flawed by design!
13.	All That Happens (Must Be Known) 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Spooks at your door Liberty and justice for all no more This is a war And we’re all red in tooth and claw We’ll never tell But we’re opened up like a caesarean Old news is stale So please feed me more Go back just go back to sleep Go back just go back to sleep Blank faces hypnotized by a pale glow Consumption in absentia caustic and shallow Crooks in a cloud Hush little darling don’t you make a sound Privacy‘s shroud Ripped to bits and pieces Ghosts in a shell Forever connected divided we stand United we fell Running this ship aground All that happens must be known This is all that you want This is all that you need All that happens must be known For the greater good For our common ground We all start clean slated Unanimous anonymous The herd is endangered By it’s own pompousness Go on keep dreaming of life Go on keep dreaming of life Do we have a dream or are we just living? Sins of omission a liability All that happens must be known Is this all that you want? Is this all that you need? All that happens must be known Is this the greater good Is this our common ground All that happens must be known Unanimous anonymous
