1.	Root In Superstition 02:54	lyrics	buy track
We live as slaves to our fate Arms deep in the mud Of the lands we have plowed The thirst of our soil Never to be ceased On our knees we cry out As it teases a better tommorow Stored on the highest shelf Cases of unfinished buisness Just to make it alive Another 24 hours It downsizes my ambitions To a burden That has been laid upon me Slowly building grudges I battle to block I would've liked a lighter inheritance Or much more to harvest There is no name to carve on stone There is no writing But there's a tradition That tells you it's a bit late Accumulating dirt under our nails Gets a bit redundant Unhook your chin from your chest And look me in the eyes Before your hands Get pulled and buried in the fucking soil The fatigue and bitter temper Of complaints and anger Builds up on my back I grow sore Do something with this name
2.	Cry Wolf 01:34	lyrics	buy track
Chemically unbalanced words Resonate overly In common places Eroding their meaning The shadows embrace Your false claims And suffers the consequences Cry wolf no more You know nothing Of light and darkness A false prophecy Under a shade of grey Stepping in foreign territory You have been found not guilty Your make believes Will silence the remedy And lead the truly sick To damnation

Callous shell Creeping in the night Through the herd of outgoers I've come to outgrow We rely on each other To bathe in pleasure of a sunless moment To compensate as a stress relief I refuse to believe that warm blood fun Of a festive night Outweighs the hard worker's craft I will be held guilty Being an absentee Claiming i'm a pillar To this fraternity I won't prioritize These nights over myself Anymore I claim nothing in my name My ideology, my personality Forever will be In a city that never sleeps I had my time Now I have my reasons And it’s tiring for me to explain And it’s tiring to see faces truly deceived Under a false pretense I don’t have a thing to prove
4.	Bloodline 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I'm diseased by our addiction I'm learning on and on That I'm always getting further To approach people Love sells on a fucking paradox Exposure is the finest definition Of proclaiming your Self confidence Confidence is non existent Drowning in ourselves In an era where we abandoned Our dreams At least we can witness Someone's victory Within an image And a picture is worth A thousand fucking words I wont be the one that breeds Another crippled youth To pursue these poisonous branches Back to the roots This name a glowing pride We are alone in this I won't leave a legacy That will devour future dreams Empowered by screens We see ourselves Reflecting desperatly.
5.	For The Want Of 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Burried in me Now genetically, burried It gets me everytime But who makes the rules, who decides Who decides the consequences Who decides anything at all Sometimes I’ll wear a cape To outwit the executioner Hounding me While i cave in my brain The anguish surfaces Chained slave To the voice inside my head Forever shadow boxing Against the obsessive compulsions Intrusive thoughts to ruin my day In my shallow room I see the moldy ceiling And picture back if I have Completed my task to shut my mind Before I close my eyes For the want of a night of sleep You have to do it all over and over again It threatens me, if I don’t do what it says It threatens my surroundings It just rots in my spleens It just fucking steals my sleep It says I can’t go further than 10 miles from home It says it’ll shrink my lungs
