1. _ Corrosive Elements
Staying on an even keel.
Keeping a gauge.
Sanity hangs in the balance.
(I) could go either way.
Cerebral half life.
the darkest Summer days.
My pressure defences melting away.
'Cause I can't level this brimming, seething dread.
My pressure defences melting away.
With anxiety I'm burning!
Stripping down to the core.
Corrosive Elements is inducing.
Corrosive Elements that sap being.
Corrosive Elements inducing.
Corrosive Elements that sap being.(2x)
Corrosive Elements- joy toxin.
Corrosive Elements- please cleanse me!
Corrosive Elements- joy toxin.
Corrosive Elements- please cleanse me!(2x)

2. _ Placate, Sedate, Eradicate
Load the burden across my shoulders
Pour the effluent on thick.
Placate, sedate ,eradicate,
Am I worthy to carry the weight?
Wage a war on my prone feelings.
Anaesthetised and numb.
Placate, sedate ,eradicate,
Strangely calm when I should be enraged.
Placate, sedate.
Placate, sedate,
Eradicate.
Don't befriend the silver screen,
as long as others face firing lines.
Recline, relax take it in your stride,
be the voyeur.
Tamed by rabid entertainers.
Engrossed in real life hell.
Placate, sedate ,eradicate.
Only observing- I'm exempt.

3. _ Dogma
Innocence-
a painful reminiscence
a what was not
and will never be.
Meant not for me.
An unjust war
on the futile.
Bludgeoning my affection (wide open)
Cries of overkill.
Scraps of memories
flung from our master's table.
A plan I'm sure to disable.
Allegiance to none other.
Bludgeoning my affection (wide open)
Cries of overkill.
Regenerate a healing catharsis
that bursts, meaningless.
Regenerate a healing catharsis
that bursts, meaningless.
Graceful, a selfish will,
the chilling thrill,
a play on the nerves to end 'all serves'
As penance
to a man's drying tear,
we leer but deny ourselves.

4. _ Greed Killing
The wrong time, the wrong place,
our smiling face of distrust.
Buried, the seed deep in all our heads.
Prepared ouselves for the fall.
The greed killing!
Instinct to mistrust,
instinct- the lust.
Their butchery of feelings,
geared for the greed killing.
The greed killing!
Not now, when then?
Not now, when then?
When?(x4)
The lust denies the need.(x5)
Existence is a steady flow,
the moulded image grows,
No core, no faith in what you are,
the pressure builds right from the start.
Could it be just sour grapes?
Or have we failed to fit their shape?
It's always give, and never take.
How much more can we give?
How much more can we take?

5. _ Just Rewards
I lived for the moment
I grabbed hold and I didn't relent
(the) skin of my teeth,
holds no longer.
And now I come to claim my just rewards.
Face down! ground down with no recourse.
And now I come to claim my lust rewards.
The spoils of the toils are spent.
Where is the right place?
Where is the right place, right time?
If the face fits, wear it.
Faces fit while heart and soul slopes on.
Scraping through- Just Rewards!
Dig the dirt- Just Rewards!
Hold your ground- Just Rewards!
Being sucked down- Just Rewards!
Where is the right place?
Where is the right place, right time?
When you lay down on your own law,
you swim against the sanctimonious tides.
Down not out- Just Rewards!
Looping tracks- Just Rewards!
stunted growth- Just Rewards!
Dwindling hope- Just Rewards!

6. _ Diatribes
Bite the bit, scream till you're blue in the face.
Nice pipe dreams or passive revolution?
Foot soldiers
with weapons of placards and banners.
How will they stop the rot?
No standing to reason.
'cause reason is treason-
it doesn't seem feasible.
Lie down.
And cry all you can.
The machine rolls over you.
It just don't seem feasible. no!
Black face to Nazi- try pleading affinity
Hands up, boot in, shattering the passive dream.
But it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process?
Shattering the passive dream
Is it 'cause we like to heat the sound of out own voice?
Big-hearted diatribes, just like my dilemma.
time to return compliments, shattering the passive dream?

7. _ Ripe For The Breaking
..you weren't born with the world falling at your feet-
The path is long and agonizing being dragged on your knees.
..and the silver spoon in your mouth tastes spoilt with rust,
when all that glitters isn't gold and fortunes turn to dust.
You're prime time for the raping.
And when you don't pander to meet the agenda,
scavengers start to gather.
Perverse visionaries taste the lather;
the just rewards in controlled rebellion.
Tossed and probed like a gristly piece of meat,
lock, stock, and barrel slave.
You just don't contradict big brother.
He's got the right to push you under.
..and they pledge you the earth, then pull you six feet down.
And you're branded with the stigma: unusable dropouts.
..and with inspiration ravaged, you take the final bow,
the creative demeanor shattered into a million pieces.
You're rip for the breaking.

8. _ Cursed To Crawl
A fragile peace that exists inside.
A frame so shallow,
so narrow-minded.
An open wound-
we run inside.
A raging turmoil.
Helplessness confides...
Cursed to crawl
for my pale and bleeding heart.
Cursed to crawl.
Pale and bleeding.
Enter this sphere,
commonplace, borderline.
Between my rage,
between your hate.
Damn your mistakes.
Fixations blinds.
The pain of knowing
the truth beyond...
(repeat chorus 2x)
Unprepared.
A gruesome display,
perhaps a replay-
self-inflicted.
Reduced to nothing,
my piece of mind seduced.
Unworthiness.
The scares never heal...
(repeat chorus)

9. _ Cold Forgiveness
25 years severed,
take it and like it,
Feel like there's nothing more,
end of story.
Thirsty, despised,
real love destroys.
Hungry for anger.
Hungry for... anger.
The face behind the face.
Cold forgiveness meant not for me.
Race against time,
collapse.
Fell in line.
nothing is sacred.
Thirsty, despised,
real love destroys.
Hungry for anger.
Hungry for... anger.
The face behind the face.
Cold forgiveness meant not for me.

10. _ My Own Worst Enemy
Played out, wide off the mark,
mania develops,
akin to fiction,
more than to a word of fact.
My own worst enemy.
My own worst enemy.
Lifes foul teachery.
My own worst enemy.
Dams of emotion build
a dull and turbid screen,
cloudlike veils of black
in jungles of hopes oppressed.
(repeat chorus)
So many times,
for no reason.
So many promised punches,
for what reason?
Ceaseless decay,
parallel obscene and flagrant.
Ceaseless decay,
restrained my mind coils.
So many times,
for no reason.
So many promised punches,
for what reason?
Ceaseless decay,
parallel obscene and flagrant.
Ceaseless decay,
restrained my mind coils.
(repeat verses 3 & 4)
(repeat verse 1 and)

11. _ Glimpse Into Genocide
Blindness leading
Which one of me is real?
Through corridors of uncertainty - a force without form
I've dug a hole so deep
Full of the shit of compromise
For once can't i keep
Pain on the outside
Adapt
Take on release
Others
Thoughts infringed
Adapt
Take on release
A life-
On pause syringed
A glimpse into genocide
My own emotions, a million strong
A heart so full of emptiness

12. _ Take The Strain
Take the strain! Can you take it?
Take the strain! Or even take it?
Take the strain! Aren't we lucky
Take the strain! to be breathing?
Take the strain!
Are you the men in the next bed
without the tubes, without the life support?
Maybe the man whose pockets weigh you down.
Take the strain! Do you wear strife
Take the strain! like a clown?
Take the strain! or accumulate
Take the strain! with a frown?
Take the strain!
Are you the animal
that escapes the snares and traps?
Bearing no quarry scars, and the hunter's crown.
We were taught to follow leaders- follow leaders!
never to challenge the singular pack.
The goals they set slip the grasp- slip your grasp!
chasing tails without the basic facts.
Choose full pain, violate, make the grade.
taut wires fray, electro-brain, take the strain!
We were taught to follow leaders- follow leaders!
never to challenge the singular pack.
The goals they set slip the grasp- slip your grasp!
chasing tails without the basic facts.
