Belt Driven Tragedy

(Intro)
Why?
Why?
Yaahh!
(Verse 1)
Another reason to look past these sullen eyes
Heading into a battered work zone dehumanized
They risk their lives troubled off by complacency
An effort works, harrowed on by
Reality!
(Chorus)
Belt driven tragedy
A company ordered catastrophe
Guise
A hidden corporate loss
Cook all the numbers, kick up to the boss
(Verse 2)
I found escape is a definite function
Another way to release from assumption
It all depends on the world that is real (world that is real)
But freedom escapes, so
Set me free!
(Chorus)
Kick up to the boss!
Kick up to the boss!
Yaahh!
(Instrumental Break)
Why? x 4
(Chorus)
(Bridge) x 2
You don't believe me
I started heaving
Let me restate
That the worker's not breathing
Why?
(Chorus)
I am lost!
Kick up to the boss!
I am lost!

Underling
03:39
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
He sits for light years drinking his potion
Swallow it down, he suppresses emotion
I see it now he's another devotion
To the Craftenstock essential promotion
(PreChorus)
He's feeling out of form
Fulfilling the orders is always the norm
Worn out and broken gears
Forever assembling tears
(Chorus)
The Underling has reached his end
By-product company spend
Recreate the factory pool
Another disposable tool
(Verse 2)
He is a nightmare, feeling corrosion
Break down his gears, speeding erosion
Man or machine, I welcome the change
To the rusted-out, broken-down labor we face
(PreChorus)
(Instrumental Bridge)
Arrgghh!
(Chorus) x 2

The Factory Bloc
04:13

(Intro)
The Factory Bloc!
The Factory Bloc!
(Verse 1)
Blowing smoke billows out thick to smother
Rising heat from the ground burns another
(PreChorus)
These draining pipes
They cause disease
Trickle down complacency
(Chorus)
The Factory Bloc is on the rise
Spread through the land and sterilize
No looking back from the changes we make
Shadows of progress fade
Our futures we take
(PostChorus)
Industry breathes through the fields
Intoxicate
We'll never be looking back
It's taken me
(Verse 2)
Glowing hope pillows out on the workplace
Quickly smothers the burden of our fate
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
(Outro) x 2
Get me out of the Bloc
Take me away from the pacing faces
Get me out of the Bloc
I'd rather flee than be in stasis

Polar Vortex
04:32
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Peering through covered eyes
Continuing to paralyze
Snow an ocean white
Piling on without emotion
Trudging up to my knees
Frigid air falling degrees
Grind-halt efficiency
Constricting locomotion
(PreChorus)
And I am freezing down
Polar crest
Collapse to the ground
The air burns in my chest
I'm freezing down
Polar crest
My final mistake is
I froze with the rest
(Chorus) x 2
Shivering limbs
Cover my face
Swallowed by the
Polar vortex
(Verse 2)
Wading up to my thighs
Howling wind drowns out my cries
Moving gets hard to try
Breaking through the icy shell
Enveloped in a pale cast
Temperature dropping so fast
These steps could be my last
Could not get up once I fell
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus) x 2
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus) x 2

Empty
04:12
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
I've worked for a hundred days
My time off is a life away
And I waste my time to stay
At another forgettable crumbling place
So let's talk the conditions here
The sun above won't interfere
The air I choke is never clear
And the chemicals burn my eyes
(PreChorus)
I look upon all of their faces
They look alone
They must be generated
(Chorus) x 2
Into the outside
I'm empty
Burning on the inside
Frozen on the out
I'm ending
(Instrumental Post-Chorus)
(Instrumental Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Around here the sky it bleeds
It cries hard from the fumes it breaths
And coughs out all the acid steam
At another forgettable factory
So I fought with the engineers
They labeled me a mutineer
And sent me off without a tear
Into the cold and wet goodbye
(PreChorus)
(Chorus) x 2
(Instrumental Post-Chorus)

Tentacle
04:03
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
It all starts on a hazy night
It all breaks when you're losing traction
It all ends when you realize
You're wrapped up and you're paralyzed
It all quakes when you've been deceived
It all makes a deceptive notion
It's all fake when you analyze
You're mind's bombed and you're sterilized
(Chorus) x 2
Abandoned
And stranded
These tentacles are dragging my hands in
There's no hope
All alone
This stranglehold is the end of my rope
(Break)
I'm fading in the light
I see the darkness drain to oceans
My brain is hypnotized
I'll fall asleep and feel the potion
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Bridge) x 2
I'm fading in the light
I see the darkness drain to oceans
My brain is hypnotized
I'll fall asleep and feel the potion
(Verse 2)
It all starts when you make the senses
I smell the oily tentacle stenches
Growing out of sea and harbor
Moving closer and creeping harder
Grabbing on I savor my breath
Dragging me into the last depth
This trapping feel has got to go
But that's a feeling I'll never know
(Chorus) x 2
|

Sentient
04:08
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
A stoic mind
Grown out of place
Sentiment is so far gone
From human interface
Afraid of truth
Scared of light
Another reason why
The brain is fully terrified
(PreChorus)
I know it's living and breathing
But is it really feeling?
I can't control the being inside
When I look into it's eyes
(Chorus) x 2
Your mind is fully sentient
Continue to rule, are we arrogant?
Nobody places their life on the Earth
With visions of healing worlds
(Verse 2)
I clone my mind
My body moves
Can it be I've found
The way to seeking inner truth?
Depraved of might
Lost of sooth
Getting weaker by the hour
Stuck in this cocoon
(PreChorus)
(Bridge)
Sentient! x 4
It's the end!
(Verse 1)
(Chorus) x 2

Anesthesiac
03:51
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
You've never seen a fiend like him
Self-inflicted, a victim
Never happy with his state of never wanting life again
Inebriated costs
Mind wandering and lost
Just crawling for an episode of temporary pause
(PreChorus)
Emaciated face
An empty husk in the void
His extinguishing pace
(Chorus) x 2
Anesthesiac
What kind of life-form?
Storming throughout his brain
Addicted to reality torn
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 2)
You'll never trust a man like him
Exposing in his whim
Wanting only certain drugs that let him drown instead of swim
While sinking down below
Hiding so no one knows
Trading fading peace forgets the growing stranglehold
(PreChorus)
(Chorus) x 4
(Bridge A) x 2
He's hiding deeper
Become a creeper
Riding high while
He faces the Reaper
(Bridge B) x 2
He's hiding deeper
Become a sleeper
Riding high while
He faces the Reaper

Thief in the Night
03:57
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
You dream of money and prize
I see through your disguise
I see the way you snake around and bite
You’re a knife that stabs in the back
You’ve taken all of my check
And turned it to the source of all your might
(Pre-Chorus 1)
The source of all your might!
The source of all your might!
(Chorus)
You had me taken away like a thief in the night
You stole all my riches and left me to fight
I’ll say goodbye now cause you sent me to fry
You’re a thief in the night
(Verse 2)
You scheme for your every need
I’ll catch you up to speed
I’m growing wiser to your endless greed
You ride on your victim’s backs
You grind ‘em down to the tracks
And issue punishment when anyone reacts
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Punishment when anyone reacts!
Punishment when anyone reacts!
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Bridge) x 4
You’re a thief in the night!

Cryoscorch
03:20
|
|||
|
(Chorus)
Refrozen in the burning Cryoscorch
Cryoscorch!
An icy blast of wind that's a blowing torch
Cryoscorch!
(Verse 1)
I see the frozen air as it pushes down
Cold triggers snaps it's eternal crown
Fall breaks the leaves and marries the scent
Of the coming ice and the burning breath
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
My hands are burning hard from cold cement
Icy blades of steel protrude from the vents
I'm moving through the wind trying to re-obtain
My lost sight to ever be whole again
To be whole again!
To be whole again!
(Chorus) x 2
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
(Outro) x 4
Now I’m waking up
I’ll self destruct
The burning frostbite
Will eat me up

Abandon Launch
04:02
|

|
(Intro)
Abandon launch!
Abandon launch!
(Verse 1)
I'm strapped down
A hundred meters from the ground
There's a rumbling outside
It's a terrifying sound
I feel the engines down below
Final seconds left to go
Procedure feeds your mind
But reality is slow
(Chorus)
I think I'm facing my final night
I've given years up to test this flight
I'm only racing to analyze
The night sky design
Abandon launch!
Abandon launch!
I'll never land the machine we wrought so
Abandon launch!
(Verse 2)
I'm still alive
A hundred tons are mechanized
Burning holes into the ground
Spraying liquid in my eyes
Meter reading is untold
Lights are flashing uncontrolled
Choose a better element?
Should I let this all unfold?
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Instrumental Outro)
Abandon launch!
Abandon launch!
