I felt it slip through my hands
This world I'm in, made of sand
A foundation made of solid rock
Crumbled way when I left the flock
I spent my life, deflecting all my fear
To a god who was never really there
Constantly I found myself
Crying out for help
I can't feel you anymore
Don't panic don't panic
Ignore your worries toss them to the static
Heretics, they're heretics
Followers of the pragmatic
I don't need you anymore
Flee from me, you and your deity
Your presence is debilitating
Your presence is insulting
The years that I've lost caring
For the ones who never gave a fuck
I'll never get those back
I'll never get those back
Taught to relinquish control
Surrender your body whole
Stand together or burn forever
Stand together or burn forever
You think you're so clever
While you stand together
You're so clever
Burn forever
Why must you choose blindness?
Open your eyes
To the world around you
Why must you choose blindness?
Open your eyes
To the flaws within you

Play Dead

Feeble, weak,
Bury your words in the dirt that you seek
Confused, cheap,
The foundations of your goddamn beliefs
Stand up, stand up
Stand up tall, above them all
The higher you get, yeah, the harder you fall
Your desire for empire will leave you to rot
So play dead, oh holy son
Lie in wait for your time will come
So play dead, oh chosen one
Baptize yourself with your loaded gun
So play dead, oh holy son
Lie in wait for your time will come
So play dead, oh chosen one
Baptize yourself with your loaded gun
Dogma beyond all reason
On the back of the mother, you are the legion

Lights out on the candlestick
Burning inside
Of an empty bitter man
The anger he holds
The story for told
The decision for division
Your words have been written
In blood
Extinguished a flame to relight your own
Right within its home
There's no light left inside you
The warmth has gone
Lights out on the candlestick
Burning inside
Of an empty bitter man
The anger he holds
The story for told
Support the system
Reload, you missed him
Tamper the evidence
Support the system
Reload, you missed him
Reduced a life to a fucking sentence
In 3 years time
He'll be just fine
Walking the streets
In 3 years time
He'll be just fine
Brandishing his piece
Extinguished a flame to relight your own
Right within its home
Extinguished a flame to relight your own
You’re on your own

Don't Panic

My vision fading, the light grows dim
I can’t remember this room I’m in
Searching for something familiar here
My space and my conscious no longer clear
Searching for something familiar here
I’m lost inside my own home
I'm lost inside my home
I'm so profoundly alone
Emptiness is setting in,
I'm on my own
Contorted shapes and outlines surround
All I can hear is that numbing sound
Drowning my thoughts, no reception
Unfamiliar space, broken connection
Within this body, I'm merely a guest
This weight on my chest feels like death, at best
Absently I am inside this mind
A tunnel, dark, suspended in time
The walls cave in, my fear compounds
Bound inside my burial ground
My burial ground

Tens of thousands, tens of thousands of followers
Tuning in to fulfill their needs
They provide the oxygen they believe they need
Shaking, screaming as they line your pockets
Eating from your hands as they live on their knees
Shaking, screaming as they line your pockets
Eating from your hands as they live on their knees
Taking what you can still begging for more
The teacher became what he had taught to abhor
Taking what you can, always needing more
A man living lush off the life of the poor
They congregate in masses
Like a fire rising up from the ashes
Coming to you for atonement
Everything you built, all for this moment
You writhe around like a snake on the ground
You writhe around passing narcissism as passion
You writhe around like a snake on the ground
You writhe around passing narcissism as passion
You writhe around like a snake on the ground
Like a snake on the ground
