Bondage Of Screams 03:51
lyrics
buy track
bones and chrome, little dreams in copper coils, hot to the touch, metal on your tongue. The self destruction, minor life corruption, victim of the notion, crack the circuit board. bondage of screams, violent captivity, condemned to live until the day we're born. and when your heart stops, does the signal expire? kill the ghost, truth be obscene. thank you for giving me a little taste of agony, thank you for taking it away. tell me your sins, like you've never been cut, like you're so self assured, like you're never been divided. I see your treason, lies to your disease and, I can see you're bleeding crawling on the floor. Shut down, you got that virus, needle that they'll put inside us, anaesthetic for the soul, never had so much control. So much for softer feelings, so much for petty needs, give me circuits I can trace, a deconstructed human race. I could be your saviour, I could be a saint, but I think you need stitches for that hole in your face. Stop your staring, stop your caring, for that burden that I'm baring, kiss your mama goodnight before she sleeps too many days.

Le Moteur Fantôme 03:08
lyrics
buy track
hey ghost engine, got to motor, once was lost but now I'm older, sicker, meaner, scarred, uncleaner, split me down the middle, I'm bloody and bolder. had some friends but now they're all dead, haunting me, they live in my head. but hey at least I pretend I'm fine, you wouldn't even know I want to die inside. and I remember that girl I used to know, who broke my heart and cracked my soul, I'm so lucky you never knew, how much I'd do for you. I was hoping when she left me, maybe it would finally end me, that was always the secret, but I'll never confess. because I'm not happy, no I'm tortured by the, ghost engine in my head. it's gonna kill me, maybe it's better that way, and I'm excited, at least I'll get some sleep that day. and if I'm ripped up, torn up, shut up father, I wouldn't spit on the fire that burns you. 'cause you made me a drunk and you made me a liar, and I know I can be a better monster than you. It's the burned out dream of a burned out junkie, I need new parts to fix the disease. 'cause if I'm still human I'm still not happy, the only way I live is if my heart doesn't beat.

Where Is The Soul 02:57
lyrics
buy track
as a church bell rings, a promise of better things, would you say a prayer to mechanical gods? at the end of it all, do you pray awake, on your knees at a crooked altar? well I've cut and I've sliced, more stains for the knife, but I can't find the answer. maybe it's lost so long ago, when my heart became a hole, a vaccuum for all my sin. so as the clock rots the day, I'm devising new ways, so that I can remain, so that I can sustain, and to stay on the stage, as I cut, and I cut, and I cut, and replace, and as the ediface dies, where is the soul? life goes too quickly, the light abandons you, and as the church tells the story, the devil takes his due. repent for salvation, and break down on your knees, but as machinery sustains, there's never time to bleed. (the devil will be me) God may well condemn me, for the monster that I am, so if I'm cursed and I'm forsaken, am I not all that is man? and if I'm fixed with new machinery, divinity controlled, am I retrofitting blasphemy, where is my soul?

Find Me 03:34
lyrics
buy track
so I've got ticks, twitches, skin to scratch, no flyer 'cause I dress in black, never found that underground, that stutter in my sound. The rebirth after I rehearse, driving to the funeral. electric thieves and neon witches, mama save me, kiss my stitches. gold plated over copper, high conductive heartbeat stopper. that pistol in your pocket, white-hot bullets, you stroke and cock it. void of all that's sanctified, unmedicated, unpacified, I'm understanding, underclasses, undercut by brutal masses. find me, I'm always hiding, make me clean and pure again, find me, the cure for all I've done, and I would pay in blood again. They always cut my coke to cut my throat, yeah, so I guess that was the joke, 'cause I never really paid in cash, who needed money with a body like that. well, I got clean, and I got mean, and I'm glad it was enough to never pick up a needle. and I'm so sorry if that's hard to hear, but I know that evil. cut the veins out of my arms, I always knew they'd do me harm, it's in my blood under my skin, I'm bathed in decadence and sin. so punk it up, pump it up, and open up where I'm so hollow, I'll wear my skeleton outside, for the bone marrow I'd always swallow. so look down on me 'cause you're a real man, sorry flesh I don't understand. I guess peter pan had best be wary, 'cause he's dressed in tights and dreams of fairies. and happy thoughts could make you fly, but I can see the fear in your eyes, that I could take your manhood away, with the scalpel cut in the words I say.

Signal Calling 03:55
lyrics
buy track
there's a signal, calling. there's a black hole in my mind today, my head's intact but the data's gone. I look to the clock as it ticks away, hours and minutes, but the rhythm's wrong. Woke up to the nightmare, up to the moon, down to the bottle in a private room. don't shed a tear, don't show the fear, as an angel whispers in your ear. do you hear the signal calling? calling, calling. do you see that bleak horizon? journey ever on. No peace in life, no fight in death, this fear won't let me catch my breath. I hear the message in the air, as a chorus speaks to me. Suffer well, the fight goes on, as bodies break and hope is gone. this condition chokes the freedom, I know I'll never see.

Cup Of Shadows 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I don't dream the way I did, I'm not so happy anymore. Maybe I'm better, more stable more stable, my happiness underneath these scars. and voices chill the blood in your veins, they beg forgiveness and I bet for silence, if you could stare at my mind, you would cry over ruins. drink deep from the cup of shadows, where blood spills and happiness follows. But I don't feel so happy any more. idle hands may be the devils plaything, but my idle mind is my silent torture, the violent destruction of life at it's core, a sacrifice of flesh to my god. I could be evil and happy today, the thief in the priest I was born to play, but I sold my smile for you. please be calm for my sadness.

Carry The Dead 05:45
lyrics
buy track
silence falls, into my ears, I hear the air raid siren. not in the streets, but in the whisper of ethereal technology. a blind man crawls, ever forward, he never knows where he has been. and what becomes, of the fire, without the fuel of humanity? carry the dead, carry the dead, bury the living, to start again.

Self Repair 04:42
lyrics
buy track
cracking lips, from the fire, I see the dance that you do. the phantom phase, to conspire, mutilation in review. little child, all alone, in a little world, so unfair. This might be the future now, discard the damage. self repair. There's a secret, in the violence, that which kills can also save, it's the kind edge, of the razor, amputate and rearrange. for the sickness, that I'm telling you, makes you human, poor little thing. Ignore the pain now, it's just your body dying, it's over soon, your soul will sing. Under a shocking light now, we're the children of man, we're societies victims, discard the damage, self repair. stop, too much, too much, too much to stop, my spine is sparking with the pain, don't put that needle in my neck, put me to sleep again. 'cause I, I, I can see the angel tears, that fall from weaker judges, they see my crime and find me wanting. and I, am upset that I, was a good man, dead woman, virus, parasite Madonna blasphemer, painted on the concrete, cries in the bloodstream, I don't know why you're crying but I know I hurt you so, kill me kill me more but love me, never give away which lie you're telling me. venting acid into the aether, 'cause I'm burning up, I hurt my mind, and you'll never know, what I'm seeing, beautiful vistas shake the witness. and the universe has never been so cruel as to make me feel real. I can cure you, give you insight, once we're dead we're all the same. everybody screams about it with their lips tight, but the world calls me insane. I'm not crazy, I'm just modified, reality ain't as solid as you think. take the shot now, crack the window, where we scry our truth from scrolls without ink.

Battlefield 03:14
lyrics
buy track
can you feel the motion? the baseline mixing with the love potion. that soft swing in your step, that hand around my neck when you tell me that you want me. Take me to the floor, spin me round, push me down, you're a real bad influence, just the kind I like. don't think that I'll regret this dance, 'cause we shake the foundations, we're just bodies on the battlefield. Tell me what should I say? 'cause I don't know what you're thinking I just know what I've been drinking, puts a fire in my heart. And I'm ready for some action, I'm demanding satisfaction. maybe this is our last night, and if we do this, we do it right. don't want your bark, I want your bite, I wanna see you out of breath, inches from death.

Freaking Out 02:41
lyrics
buy track
we're going deeper now, we're gonna burn the whole damn city down. don't stop to think about it, while your back is turned and there's nobody else around. freak, my little cannibal freak me like an animal, freak, you're freaking out. freak, you're freaking out. we make another stain for the black light, flashbulb fires, another night of sinful bliss. and as I expire on the sheets for a while, the curse of a necrotic kiss. I walk a crooked mile down a very crooked path, I've got a crooked smile and a very crooked laugh. when you come out to play don't tell your mama what we do, 'cause damn I'm bad for me and I'll be very bad for you. maybe it ain't nothing but pleasure to me, maybe I just want your body but that don't come for free. everybody wearing diamonds that they got in the night, even body fluids shimmer under the black light.

Kiss With A Cut 04:20
lyrics
buy track
driving between, the cartilage, are we obscene? we're doomed to desire. between you and me, between the sheets, are we beautiful? we're slaves to the fire. cut me open, put it inside, make me feel it, the harder you drive. I'm only playing, you make me feel alive, you kiss with a cut, you make me want to die. you beg me for my bones but my skeleton revolts, when your fingers touch my skin, it's like a thousand volts. I've got to break myself, so you wont want it, 'cause baby when you've got it, someone will make you flaunt it.

Burner Culture 04:54
lyrics
buy track
hey, jack it up you got the best of me, jack it in get yourself inside, I'm a vandal in the gallery, holy grail laced with cyanide. this ain't your daddies noise, we're the broken toys, chrome full of glitches making me twitch. we ain't your girls and boys, you get your signal destroyed, but damn if we don't look good. burner culture, burner culture, burner culture, data jacker overdrive. pretty as a picture worth a thousand words, I want to make it last but the memory won't stick, the lie ain't as pretty as the truth I've heard, hardwired to a crucifix.

Manufactory 03:43
lyrics

deconstruct it, rebuild, all those little toys, the paranoia industry, profligate, so beautiful. I will be the new toy maker, I will be the new toy maker, I will be the new toy maker, let's go. manufactory, manufactory, manufactory, break, break, break it down. you stupid thing, selling money for cash, buying credit with credit, and you hope it will last. if you want to take it with you, then you better do it right, you wear a suit like a coffin, hang you by your tie. and this is how we killed the world, and this is how we killed the world; we killed the world. like the gods that we are, we are, we are, we are, we're the gods of industry. and this is how we killed the world; we killed the world. like the gods that we are, we are, we are, we are, we're the gods of industry. we are the gods of industry.

The Dead (Never Am I) 03:51
lyrics
buy track
creeping, so slowly, tell how can I live for the price of a grave? sleeping, so innocent, tell me why do you wake up when in the end it's all the same? So spite your face, with needles and ink, make yourself beautiful, make yourself beautiful. so maybe, someone will love you, or maybe rotting meat will only turn them on. bring out your dead bring out your dead bring out your dead bring out your dead singing songs in foreign tongues, we rob the tomb of everyone, we salt the earth and bleach the sky, the dead, never am I. So sell your soul for a pittance today, you never needed it, nobody cares anyway. What do we have left, when the gods have all gone? your finite future, a dying sun. I've got eyes fit to steal the truth from the real, madmen call it madness, and liars call me liar, but maybe death should die for all the beauty it inspires.
