And The Machine Rolls On

Emasculate 01:33
Give up on my lifestyle and dreams Enter into an alluring duality It's a feature not a bug Swimming in the mainstream is so much fun Go through the motions of domestication As I embrace my emasculation Do my part and behave Smile and wave A well-liked undead Give and take It's taking more each day Give and take I compromise my life away It's a feature not a bug Swimming in the mainstream is so much fun Go through the motions of domestication As I embrace my emasculation Give and take It's taking more each day Give and take I compromise my life away Got to reclaim myself To get some go again I don't resent you But I got to find my way again

Choices Consequence Hard to Foresee Don't know Can you cope Being this free Break or succeed Crippling uncertainty Are you man enough? Can we trust you not to fuck this up? Pressured Stressed out It eats away Misery Greets you To opportunity a slave You know what you got But not what you’ll get! Break or succeed Crippling uncertainty Are you really man enough? Can we trust you not to fuck this up? You don't know what you want So this is what you'll get A nice big nothing Facing a dead end

Slow 01:02
Wrong size peg My life's an eyesore Should have been extinct Since long before The rules have changed But they won't change me I'm a contradiction From another century Ain't gonna lie I don't like your world You want me to shrug While chaos unfurls The rules have changed But they won't change me I'm a contradiction From another century Slow I'm slow and stupid Don't get your memes But you can't tell me that my mind's not free

Bloodloss 02:05
Marked for death Deterioration begins Unable to cope Vision grows dim Sick and tired Confused Feeling sucked and abused And bled Sensing utter disgust At this unbearable world As the blood from the holes everywhere Into horrible gutters whirl Mixing with sewage and slime In the dark corners of earth The red The red World of mouths and teeth Sharp and never not speaking Open and shut involuntarily Gnawing tearing letting bleeding dry Bloodloss Emptiness within Drifting from a mindless life World of mouths and teeth Sharp and never not speaking Open and shut involuntarily Gnawing tearing letting bleeding dry Bloodloss Emptiness within Drifting from a mindless life Drifting into the reapers icy arms

Sönderfall 00:25
Katatoniska barn i smutsiga rader Täckta av aska, damm och skit Pekar bort mot stormens öga Säger: vi vill färdas dit Sönderfall

Iron horse strength And crippling force A constant searing pain Engine is fed There is no remorse Goners they transport Fuel for future wars Scholars disagree There's something wrong with me A constant searing pain Spinal fluid death rain Hysteric absentee Is there nothing wrong with me? But you can't stop progress And the machine rolls on On dead horizons chaos looms As pistons pump and pain persists The fire burns To consume the world
