Lyrics by Mitch Bublitz
Connected to machines
Being fed
The same bullshit
Intravenously
To get off the dope
We are addicted to
I watched you transform
From a victim to a matriarch
Everyone look at me
This is the story
About the one I put away
Living in solitude to avoid the shame
A fabrication of a night gone wrong
An abhorrent display of power
Wearing this mess like a badge of honor
Still pontificating
Breathing life
Into exaggeration
I’ve stayed in this moment questioning
The minds design
It’s a prison
That offers no escape
Shedding layers of skin
To prove unrecognizable
Abusing the platform
Stealing credibility
From the survived
Whose accounts
Deserve attention
Accusations I could never forgive
Ridiculed
Personified as a monster
Staring you in the eyes
It’s impossible to see all the things you’ve done
Windows to a dark soul
Bent on redemption
Redemption undeserved
Why have you come back
It’s been 10 years
Suspended in animation
That feeling of elation and disgust
From your over inflated sense of importance
I’ve stayed in this moment questioning
The minds design
It’s a prison
That offers no escape
Shedding layers of skin
To prove unrecognizable

Lyrics by Pif
The cost of growth
Is always a rupture
Eyes frantically darting for a reason
For vindication from thin thoughts
And dry lips
Disillusion me again
Show me how to cut it all away
Slowly extorted,
Gaslight-hearted,
Left to question
Peering in from this cold threshold,
Warm floors and soft tones ripped away
Things become easier, not clearer, in time.

Lyrics by Lee Mintz
The sea calling out to me
Stars are dim tonight
Sail on in their absence
Smothered candlelight / dousing spray
Cloaked in the mist / you’re captive
Siren song or so it seems
Pulls it all away / pulls it all away
I’m accepting slipping into loneliness again
Material they float and fall
Waves wash away
Why should it ever change
My vessel - master companion
Beyond the fog we found our stars
There was nothing every way
Material they float and fall
Waves wash away

Lyrics by Kiki Hodges and Pif
This is a gateway to clarity; a need to strip away these months of uncertainty.
Huddled in thought, waiting for you to breathe out,
You taste like new culminations
Waiting for you to notice
All that I’ve given
Today I’m not thinking clearly
Your stoic flesh and precious rictus betray you to me over and over
Grains of salt, grains of sand
Give me just a taste of what it means to stand in the light so long
I can see your mind, and I felt you break.
I know my place.
Grains of salt, grains of sand
Give me just a taste of what it means to stand in the light so long
I know my place
Today I am not thinking clearly.
Your stoic flesh and precious rictus betray you to me over and over
This is a gateway to clarity; a need to strip away these months of uncertainty.
Huddled in thought, waiting for you to breathe out,
You taste like new culminations.
Give me just a taste of what it means to stand in the light so long

Lyrics by Joey Cavalier
I know the thin read line you tow
I have been the blade against the grinding stone
The unwilling collaborator
What are you waiting for?
My consent
My absence
My blessing
Go ahead
Anything we may have had
Consider it dead and gone
I am all but dead to you
Go ahead and fall on your sword
Well isn’t this what you wanted...
Never forget that it’s you that wanted this
Finality in my every word
And there’s a chance for you still if you cut that line you tow
Fall on your sword
You fucking martyr
Take this as a lesson in humility
Become something more
Never call on me again for my defense
My guidance
The answers...
Just find your own
Find it in you

Lyrics by Pete Stockwell
We were lucky to have you in our lives
It changed everything in our world
But you had to die
I have nothing left to say
I’ve got no cards left to play
We watched you grow to our dismay
I can barely breathe I still miss you to this day
I heard you say
You were sorry
I was blind I could not see
The level of hell awaited me
Pay me no mind
Dying inside
Biding my time
What else am I
Nothing to give nothing to lose
Everything is black I wish I could choose
We were lucky to have you in our lives
It changed everything in our world
But you had to die
I have nothing left to say
I’ve got no cards left to play
We watched you grow to our dismay
I can barely breathe i still miss you to this day
I stared into the abyss
And it stared right back
Its so dark down here
I am the one you should fear
I can only see your ghost
I cant find your throne
Empire endgame
You
Will mean nothing to it
Its gone
Broken
And I
Quit
Pay me no mind
Dying inside
Biding my time
What else am I
Nothing to give nothing to lose
Everything is black I wish I could choose
We were luck to have you in our lives
It changed everything in our world
But you had to die
I have nothing left to say
I’ve got no cards left to play

Lyrics by Adam Sward
The moon traces you through the window
while I argue with the night.
If you knew the truth you'd be
gone by the first light.
And the man with the hat in his hand
well he might as well be an angel.
And the man with the rope in his hand
keeps breaking all the mirrors in my home
And he's not alone.
Watch him blink
Watch him smile
Watch him bleed
Watching him swinging in the evening breeze
Swinging in the evening breeze.
Truth be told
You can't take anymore than I'm willing to give.
The writings on the wall
This is no way for civilized folk to live
Welcome the fall
The wind will carry you to a brighter day
Burn it all
The ashes will dance away with all your pain
And the man with the hat in his hand
well he might as well be angel
and the man with the rope in his hand
keeps breaking all the mirrors in my home
and he's not alone.
Blood in the soil,
that ain't never gonna clot.
The seeds that you've sewn;
everything you touch has
turned to rot.
Watch him blink
Watch him smile
Watch him bleed
Watching him swinging in the evening breeze
Swinging in the evening breeze.
Truth be told
You can't take anymore than I'm willing to give.
The writings on the wall
This is no way for civilized folk to live
Welcome the fall
The wind will carry you to a brighter day
Burn it all
The ashes will dance away with all your pain

Lyrics by Daniel Perrine
I can feel you
Slipping through my fingers
Pull threads through the loom
Weave a beautiful fiction
Just a shred of memory
Tear this all apart
Another tapestry
The weft ripped from my warp
You tear it all away
Tattered on the floor
I still see you
You’re the weft to my warp
Rip these thoughts apart
Cerulean pours forth
Structure breaking down
No reasoning with ghosts
