We are the rising tide We are the virus host We are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth With a dark horse in our path, we've still time to consider Is this the era to repay or can we ride a little further? We are the rising tide We are the virus host We are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth For the preservation of convenience theres an upheld fear If we're an endangered species that's the best news i've herd all year Murder Sabotage The stench of damnation This world burns tonight Rested dire solutions with tired giving hands hereditary ignorance, pass the barren land with horror we remain frozen as the television goes blank We are the rising tide We are the virus host we are the atmosphere ripped from the face of the earth for the preservation of convenience theres an upheld fear if we're an endangered species it's the best news i've herd all year.

As to discover another hematic vice As to discover another sacrifice What we give is far too much to take shovels worth of itchy blood for a structuralist wake and through these graves of unmarked ends target stomping grounds, a culture sealed within When we sleep/ within our heads controlled insight of why we're bred This contagion we adopt through fear Its learned, its taught and its human, all too human We step forever with too heavy foot The imprint and the impact break and steady flow Regress from recovery conceal byronic hero broadcasted / the most crucial feat When we sleep/ within our heads controlled insight of why we're bred this contagion we adopt through fear its learned, its taught and its human, all too human If we think we are paramount for change we disarm those taking action in their own When we sleep/ within our heads controlled insight of why we're bred this contagion we adopt through fear its learned, its taught and its human, all too human we are not the voice of the voiceless as others speak with teeth

Waste of breath/ meaningless globalized movement of machine gun debt this is as high as we dare climb desperation is a drug that leaves us blind truly this world is ours Where we go when the supply has been dosed no rest for the unwell/ this is the depth of our drought control/ understand hell can be controlled with vile delusions the torturous prevail question/ while thoughts are still private to think social normalcy brings manufactured dreams eyes set on the fastest gain murder in predominant form toxic atmosphere capital is now airborne With clouded air, comes clouded lungs and clouded eyes and clouded tongues I see no hope for this bastard toil and the mark we've left is bloody vile

Another police case and another queasy lapse another article/ another easy pass It's not unthinkable for a government to be overthrown but that does not ensure anything aside from being open and alone the police are a corporation that will stick to the bigger guns so if shits getting real, your neighbours are the ones Communicate Create Community against a capitalist agenda There will be no heroes collectives and unease bring out a baseball bat protest with celebration for those who have had lives lost and those whom feel unsafe for those who have been beaten without seeing a case There will be no romantic revolution should a substantial change arise it may be bleak and complex simple to become entangled and used be prepared/ pull your fingers into a fist either way nobody leaves without singing the goddamn blues Communicate Create Community against a capitalist agenda To those who can be educators don't call the cops call your neighbours

Doubt 04:57
This race we lead relies too much on deliverance of mechanical crutch don't ever look don't ever look down this way i'm a desperate man and no one comes here to stay Yes we're vicious, yes we sexy under the spotlight and we're reflecting mindlessness/ coiled up styrofoam and plastic cups may we live witness the end a nightmare to see this intelligent power Don't ever look Don't look to us we're a desperate band and we got desperate lust writhe on machine ride on Told of a saviour nothing needs change continue our repulsiveness technology will save While the oceans rise for lifestyle we binge our supply the anguish we ignore and the lives we leave in desolation eyes set on the fastest gain aware of the devastation lain if this night ends with us then it goes down with a burning dusk while the oceans rise aware of the devastation lain claims technology will save for this life, I have doubt.
