Cont Dracula 02:55
Spare no expense for the spectacle, There's many truths to the world you know. As we stray from the rhythm Of the conveyor belt. and expose, all those manipulators in the shadows. and expose, all those manipulators behind the scenes. When the lights go out, you'll see it again. When the lights go out you'll feel it. We will not stand for all these gaslighting forces. When the lights go out you'll see it. We are no better than those we condemn. We are better than their actions at every turn. When they're calling your name at night, at a volume to make you wake. When the unwanted thoughts return have the courage to face them down. Do not adjust your mind The fault lies in reality. Your offence does nothing take offence dethrone them.

Ascendance 03:13
Assaulting the senses, peering through lenses, can't even move without sensing the sales pitch. The more you consume, the more you're consumed. Endless endeavors as we upgrade forever. Desires reduction to the simplest form, as we move together to the algorithm. Engineer destruction divided we fall, when illusions collapse the truth reveals all... They're playing both sides Disguised they incite Corrupt to the core Divide and conquer. The currency of fear and anxieties, War profiteers creating soundbites. Energy vampires narrate a demise, A veil to disguise the safety money buys. They orchestrate riots inciting violence, discredit resistance create a hive mind. Eyes are projectors lighting expression, As hidden agendas pay for the cure. Destabilize using deception, Fly a false flag to get you on board. Desires reduction to the simplest form as we move together to the algorithm. The charade has shed its subtlety. Problem, Reaction, then the solution... "You can trust us." Take me to gratitude, Push through your resistance. Look to the stars, to voice the injustice, but all the 'idols' are shallow, rich, posers! They're playing ALL sides disguised they incite, Corrupt to the core! Divide and conquer... 'Til we rise above!

Hayek 03:08
Your privy to some special kind of subversion in your mind, Your privy to some special kind of discerning sceptic eye. But, you fall into credulity... with every hook and line. From Cult leaders & hollow vulture Snake oil salesmen and women. The vulnerable and the marginalised - too much trauma to deal with lies. Accosted by a system No choice but to believe them. Drown out the voices. Drown out the voices! If it costs a price, be sure what kind. Tell yourself you're compassionate Reciting the narrative. Your words scream of privilege. Always right, til there's nothing left. But greed sustained by rats in suits And plutocrats control the news. The taste intoxicates. As culture dissipates. And if it costs a price be sure what kind. The naivety and ignorance you project on everyone. Feelings and beliefs align almost as if by design. So, worship a slogan that illicits emotion. The taste intoxicates as culture dissipates.

Horror 02:28
He's out for blood. He can't be denied. Are you some kind of cult? A web of deceit and lies. Wearing the face of Alienation Under the guise of morality. The monsters are not metaphors. They're just the unchecked part of us. Now, you'll never live it. Down, forever rigid and Proud, the echo chamber is Loud, corruption seizes doubt. Vilification, of an imaginary line. Culture and routes become weaponised where beliefs are confined. Identity truths used to divide, While celebrity cults all lack a spine. The control you disdain you now replicate. God have mercy on us all.

Satellites 03:19
Our skyline sways and oscillates. Your expression you learned to replicate. Through screen projections you send intentions. you closed the distance By signals through satellites Science Fiction The blueprint for everything. Our greatest connection Closer, than we have ever been. You slowly rotate and move through outer space. You orbit so freely and pierce our atmosphere. Science Fiction The blueprint for everything. Our greatest connection Closer, than we have ever been. But you're never gonna No, you're never gonna change your ways, change your inconsistencies. From the stars above to the depths below. All hopes and dreams future becomes destiny. Like birds of prey. Above the council estate - you scan the terrain for the sake of discovery. Hold close your loved ones Hold close.

As we disperse onto contentious ground, Lay your head down and take off your flowered crown. A temporary touch we desire, But passion is paper thin without your commitment. With whispering voices you re-define. All you are. Back to the start. Like a conquering force all is fair in love and war. Our days lay, beneath overgrown pathways. Your ghost remains Sprawling the moonlit plains, Haunting the neuropathways truth is transitory, our shapes will culminate. We collide and come to life. We disperse into new forms bare in the wild. When you look in with those eyes, lean back for now. All the times you hid your lies comes back around fell apart in the great divide Until it all broke down. All the chemicals they gave you, they changed you.
