1. Home to oblivion

When automationRemains absoluteIt's all predeterminedWhen progress is madeAt the expense of our youthIt's all predetermined

You better make way

Your ideology, your beliefsYour beautiful cageYour 9 to 5, your careerYour way to failure and age

Domesticated and bredIn captivity

Your personalityYour identityBred in capticityYour personalityDomesticated and bredin captivity

Rewriting history backwards

DeletingAll symptoms of changeRewriting history backwardsMake way, you better make way

The road goes on and onPaved with betrayal and liesWe pile ourBroken promises highThe failures toweringTowards the skies

The constant pressure

The constant painThey pull our stringsWe dance

Please let me restMy tired eyesA bleedingVacant, sorry stare

Now abandon all failuresAbandon all martyrs

Abandon the young and the oldBrake all the promisesBetray all your friendsLeave all the weak behind

2. Lifeline LostReflexes shotThe myth retiredOur lives confinedAnd unfulfilled

Between despondency and hopeStill onwards, onwardsEver onwards

Power, wealth, knowledgeMy lifeline, my lifelineMy lifeline lost

As the herd us backInto their cages of comfortOf, need, of quiet mediocrityWe are but a small partIn a picture so big

It's obscene

Call it wastelandcall it hellI call it home, I call it lifeMy illusions gone, this is itNothing more, nothing lessHit floor, one last timeNo more, no more

3. Running with scissorsOh, sweet drug of materialismWithout you we would be lostPlease stimulateOur created needsYour opiate is a must

Demand nothingOrdain nothingRegret nothing

Into the caverns of envyThe loss of the last sympathyNow give us the tools

To destroyTo ravage all personality

3/5

Demand nothingOrdain nothingRegret nothing

Not a word, not a deedNot a thought, not a needNot a doubt, not a trust

Not a scorn, not a lustNot a hope, not a fearNot a smile, not a tearNot a name, not a faceNo time, no place

We throw away our wealthOur blindfoldAnd break this state of siegeThe weakness ...When it gets too realIt frightens me

The darkness, blinding ...No end to to our brutalityWhen it gets too realIt frightens meWhen it gets too realIt frightens me

Determined to destroyAll of your illusionsDetermined to destroyDetermined ...

We relapse into the darkness

We relapse into the voidWe relapse into the darknessWe relapse ...

The cancerous growthThat is mankindTrapped within marble hallsTo gain we must growAs the presentIs our everything and all

4. The big radiating nothingNow show me the cinicWith the weightHe knows is his to bearHe gives upHe gives in again

The moment we are bornWe start to degenerate

Wasted potentialWhat new hell is thisIs this us? Is this me?

Are we not free?

So sweet so mechanical

4/5

I'm too tired, too fuckAnd when reason endsIt hits me like a truck

Through disappointmentThrough expectationsWe give up, we give in

The big radiating nothing

As their WORDS salt the wound?????You are soothedBy the drone of daysPerfectly detached

Their schools, their valuesTheir standards, their liesTheir institutionsTheir national pride

5. Annihilating libertyFostering and getting richOn our passionFor the mediocreDebased and befouledBefore it's shoved downOur throats

AgoraphobiaCompulsive disorderDenial, apathy and stressThe high cost of comfort

The pursuit of a lifeIn excess

It's annihilatingThis liberation

Nursing the numbnessDeveloped amongThis species of pretendersReluctant wordsTell the answerThe arroganceOf their intentions

The failures keep lining upWe learn, we learn to acceptThe failures keep lining upAnnihilating liberation

SubliminallyThey fuck with your headThey fuck with your headSubliminallyWith tasteless headlinesNEW MEDICATED????

With reality showsAnd commercialsThey keep you sedated

5/5

It's annihilatingThis liberationIt's suffocatingThis desperation

6. A life transparent
