1.	Undone Creation 04:36	lyrics	buy track
The structures are malformed Vestigial overgrowth Nonplussed interconnectedness Like a sterilized seed Serving one purpose So shine the seas of lost lamentation They die so deep These undone creations As nature takes its course The strongest follow close Each dead cell Like a frozen stone Become a winter storm Engulf the whole planet Stuck together like a snowman Storming over mountains Resting in between them Ranges turning into desert Levelled by avalanches Lasting merely an instant What was a lifetime Now only hindsight To ruin we are regiven The closest There is to heaven
2.	Bones and Vultures 03:04	lyrics	buy track
That feeling when The air hits your skin The sun and the earth Mixed together For your pleasure And I never would have known That there was even another way The signs along the road Said nothing to indicate No on-ramps nor exits No landmarks, no speed traps Just lizard and cactus And going way too fast Gettin high Flying by Motor in the sunshine Take ‘er for a spin And get a little Goin sideways Anyway, it’s alright You got yours and I got mine Leave a wake and take a lickin You were just a passerby Bones and vultures Are in your future The sun will cook you into a crisp In the distance Spelling your fate As another day dips Get going Light the fire Stoke the chamber Raise the temperature You wanna burn it down You’d better turn up the heat Y’not making much progress Being frozen Get yer fuckin pull Feel that throttle Gun the engine Breathing fire Suck the wind in Blow the world away A sea of sand Bones and vultures
3.	Did You Know That 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Did you know that We are intergalactic code Multifunctional Reproducible Reprogrammable Noncorporeal We are ledes in a history Walking around on two feet Undead duality We are not a waking dream More like a fleeting breach Of the eternal stream Don’t be surprised When the outcome Doesn’t ante With your preconceptions I highly doubt that you will say much With your bleeding craw so stuck And such a feeble mind gone numb Don’t give it another thought Sometimes your best shot Is just your first guess Sometimes the result Is such a dead miss So reconcile How you never had a hand to bet That’s why you bluffed instead We’re like leads on a battery A war of what I won’t say We’re not at that stage
4.	Death Defier 05:29	lyrics	buy track
For the record I never folded I gave up nothing Even though the deck was stacked With half jokers and half jacks Can’t tell the difference anymore Between a card trick and a cage trap Seize upon their breathing So shallow it betrays them Oh woe is me How can this be? Dare defy death How dare you defy death? I am the bait in the trap I am the sound of the snap I wave my lure And blare my siren song To watch your eyes go blank This incarceration Is of your own making And it will be your undoing I saw the signals like glaring suns Witnessed the seers putting blinds on Use every last panic stricken breath Race against impending death Lament you had a hand in it The perpetration becomes the perpetrated Then it’s time to redefine death defier
5.	Liquid Legend 04:31	lyrics	buy track
Be afraid Be very afraid This war we wage Will never go away We are being chased There is no escape Why not take it To the grave Not like we were When we were awake Eyes filled with fire Mouth agape As if a dragon Awoke inside of A dormant mountain Erupting with fervor Spraying fire Like it was water Keep the scars To remember this life That pain will become A treasure map So we can find our way back To a bounty so amorphous We can’t know just what its shape is To declare so is to not exist And when the dragon Then refuses To do our bidding It’s time to slay it And sell the footage
6.	Keep Your Jets Cool 04:14	lyrics	buy track
I didn’t know it was possible To be dug this far down Then they lead the way like they were deep diving To a world below the ground Crash into the surface Don’t go to pieces Find a way of getting through it Drive under the crust Hull stability Is no guarantee Adjust your attitude Become streamlined Blend in with the background You are not an astronaut And this sure ain’t an atmosphere Forget about a landing sequence Keep your jets cool Plunge lower like water Sublimate the instant You encounter magma Stream into the sky Seek advantage Like a bird’s eye
7.	Over and Over 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Deify your own mind Worship it like sacrament Deny real life Connect to the collective Through a thin dotted line of darkness Some kinda syndrome Has severed your relation To the everlasting undulating River rafting rodeo I’m not the type To go around looking for a fight But yaw wanna rock the boat Close your eyes Come to find out About what you got right Not wrong That list is too long Suffice it to say There were mistakes And apparently There’ll be no reckoning It’s not impossible That’s just what you were told You aren’t an animal Yet still you won’t evolve Nothing can incentivize A deadbeat to lead a life No matter how much shit you get You’re always gonna step in it
8.	A World of Shadows 05:02	lyrics	buy track
Within a world That’s only shadows There are no boundaries Besides light itself There are no bodies To be buried When you’re up What comes down? When you’re wrong What goes right? Seem so sure when there’s doubt At odds with oneself Living in a world of shadows Dualistic in nature Each half of the self Tends to complete their counter However, in a world of shadows There is no other And no else A place that wasn’t planned Not by god nor man Defined by what is not Invisible to us No place to linger Only an avenue Solitary, the way As phantoms travel through
9.	Immaterial 05:16	lyrics	buy track
We’re made of stardust And random coincidence Come here on a comet Perhaps it was on purpose Or else why we’re aimless A vestige of our origin Come back to haunt us As our comeuppance No matter One way or the other Why bother It’s immaterial Spend your life wondering You wouldn’t be the first Nor will you be the last Countless have come to pass So what if the answer Is a question in itself Suppose you are immaterial Solely theoretical Existent as in archival Sensation no longer pleasure Light and sound no more a measure It all seemed a little shifty When I took a stand No point of reference Far as I could tell All by noneself No single cell around Why should there be Only the universe
10.	Going in Circles 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Face down in the waves We drifted so far away Seems simple to strike out on your own Until you’re on your own Not so easy to follow in footsteps When the rain makes the path more beaten Why do I feel like I’m going in circles? What’s right? How should I know? What’s the point of a circle Without a sun? Lost alone in the coldness Searching for a self in reflections What you gotta realize Is it’s game on What you feel When you dream Who you are Is bullshit Don’t get comfortable yet Or really ever for that matter There’s not a safe place to stand They’re all explosive Swingin outta nowhere Spaceship earth has jettisoned A progeny worth salvaging The cream of a crop At least Subject to follow The very leaderships That take them to the limits To the edge and over it
