There’s something in the way that We tend to keep our mouths shut When there’s so much left to say Where’s the need for nuance when our tongues are in cheek? Kiss and hearsay Here’s that new beat Maybe its in the wave (It’s gonna find you, it’s gonna find you out) That make this sound move (Can’t you hear it? Its getting louder now) When adjusted to the right pitch (Its in your head and thats just the way it goes) Will you hear everything we need to know? We need to know you Insatiable hunger for the bare minimal It must be that gutless fervor of yours It’s all a charade Nobody cares, nobody knows Nobody cares, nobody tries Live by the spotlight, you’ll die in the spotlight This shit doesn’t matter when you’re six feet deep Contradicting convictions in your confession booth I’ve seen the face of god and she didn’t weep for you As a matter of fact, I think she said “Give me a fucking break” Maybe its in the wave (It’s gonna find you, we’re gonna find you out) That makes this sound move (Can’t you hear it? Its getting louder now) When adjusted to the right pitch (You won’t see it, thats just the way it goes) Will we hear everything we need to know? We’re dying to know you

Wouldn’t you love to relax? Didn’t you know that a stubborn man is too cheap For that effecient kind of relief This is the art of shedding our pitiful skin Tell me it’s only a taste of self control But the static is just as sweet Did you prefer the blood on your teeth? The bitterness subsides but how long should I enjoy these dead routines As the burdens of our youth are laid before our feet Lets face the facts We might as well be mannequins waiting for dopamine A headrush to stay alive Or maybe we’re too obscene In the way we love to fuck each other Over and over, again and again Cover it up with undertones Speak with a mouthful of nails Smiles drip with the stench of blood on your teeth On our teeth In a sense, it finally gets better All I had to do was get the fuck over myself Overpriced remedies come with those flirtatious talks with death I’d love to feel better Que sera whatever Just tell me everything I wanna hear right now Staring from the outside A mirror distorts what’s real I haven’t learned any god damn thing yeah Tell me its only a taste of self control But the static is just as sweet Did you prefer the blood? This is the art of embracing the blood on our teeth

Faster 03:24
A silhouette danced across the lights Swaying soft, dressed in black Bloodshot eyes, secret from the sun Count it down This time I’m getting out of myself Nights like these won’t give any rest As they slip down waiting Anxiously, they start to believe that A way out is just beyond a reach This will cure all of the aches Just close your eyes, it’ll be just fine Dysphoria is plain to see Disillusioned and standing alone Down The sky will swallow us whole the faster we go Bend, break, til the clock strikes out Bend, break Is this the end?

Hearts beating to every cheap thrill Nerve system signals a letdown A vicious display of teeth are champing at the bit And if I let this go All the things I left unsaid Go wasted, go wasted in a touch A tight rope suspension A mid air manipulation Our views of love exist in simulations And we’re phasing out In a never ending endeavor Have we set the controls to disaster? Hearts beating faster to the rhythm Of every word you say Soaked eyes exaggerate the worst in you We’re tired of the same sad songs Just spit it out I’m used to things going wrong On a matter of chance It always ends the same way A minor lapse in judgement I’ve should’ve known This is my annihilation Cut me down to size Cut me down tonight Now how do you feel When there’s no one to save you “Well slow it down then” There’s no one to catch you When you’re falling down So slow it down Slow it down now Slow it down now Now how do you feel?

Hum 03:44
Here’s a million ways to die alone But are there enough days to live for It’s oblivion all the way down Our future never had the chance of being saved You’re never one to lose at the expense of anyone So why can’t I understand these lungs? I don’t believe in what’s to come And I’m waking And I’m waking up Distressed on the last night of the earth Misery is all that we need Misery keeps good company Our policy states “do as you please” Cash out and spread the disease now Drowning through the night It helps me sleep well Its only human nature I hear thats what they say What does it feel like? Find out for yourself Time will tell So why can’t I understand these lungs? I don’t believe in what’s to come And I’m waking And I’m waking up Distressed on the last night of the earth Its only human nature Seems more like fate You’re never one to lose Thats because you’re still alive

A thousand steps into formation Die for this rotten foundation Whose mangled hands are here to decide all for us Look fashionable, couture apathy Get paid to glorify This broken gospel is made of glass and you should swallow it And the nostalgia’s gone away At least pretend there’s no love in your violence Give me a fucking reason as to why you should be worth believing in The streets are drowning Is the blood you swim in Underneath multi layers of plastic? We lay inside our modern tombs And so you go on Soaked in uniform and you march home March on home In this no man’s land we’re all dying to live in The tragedy of the season starts to bloom The block will shake when they can’t breathe anymore You’ve got me way beyond feeling sick How much more could you disgust me? This broken gospel ismade of glass and you should swallow it The nostalgia’s gone away At least pretend there’s no love in your violence And you’ve gone on and on for far too long Tied to the cross you bare Laying waste to faces Now names without homes Will it happen again? You feel nothing, we feel everything You feel nothing, we feel every fucking thing now We’ll feel every single thing

Wired 03:45
Kill the lights, we asphyxiate better in the dark There’s no way of saying this tastefully Without those familiar Old cliches, tired ass cliches We don’t shoot for the stars cause we shoot from the hip Thats okay, it’s okay because Life has empathy for us ignorant kind of heathens The world is ours no matter what they say And if I die, I wanted to anyways And not a single solemn word was said in The heat of the moment And we are nothing but graceful in the way we siphon the sky for all that it’s worth We’ll find our hearts and we’ll feed em to the sun On our backs, eyes sunk with grief I can’t stand the way you look when You’re feeling so much worse than me I’ll crush my pride, I’ll swallow it whole Rolling dice, all bets on my soul In an affair with despair Self sabotage is so debonair Estamos conectados y jovenes Where are you? Cause I’m right here We cannot be saved We will not be saved We cannot be saved Because we livin this til the day that we die Would you care if I die? You dont wanna see this Don’t you care if I die? You’ll wanna scream it I would care if you die Dead and breathing anyways And not a single solemn word was said Feel this for me motherfucker Hell is where we found ourselves Hell is where we found our hearts

Sincara 03:57
Lost in a parade of facades We beat the dead drum of sincerity Deeper into the ground Fall into the frame of crowds without a face So exposed I know this is everything you want This is everything you need Sliding deeper down into the backseat of a dream A memory collapsed and I swear that I’ve been here once before Would you kill just for fame? Paralyzed, you cant find a way out Face to face with the reality you know, It made you rot Push yourself behind old obscurities I think this won’t work out Fall into the frame of crowds without a face So exposed, I know This is everything you want, this is everything you need Lost in the reflection You’re not who you think you are
