LYRICS

Carcinogenic Clouds

Stomachs are full but starving to death
Six packs of humans strung up by their necks
Open up the bodies to find out why they died
Coroner discovers the cause... they all have plastic inside
Willingly consumed, ignorantly all the while
Organs shutting down trying to process polyvinyl chloride
Bones enclosing heaps of polycarbonates
Monster of mass consumption is now finally faced
Vast burning piles of high impact polystyrene
Choking the earth so that nothing can breathe
Massive rainbow whirlpools roll with the tides
And swirl in the seas with urea formaldehydes
Open up the bodies to find out why they died
Bones enclosing heaps of polycarbonates
Monster of mass consumption is now finally faced
Vast burning piles of high impact polystyrene
Choking the earth so that nothing can breath
Open up the bodies to find out why they died
There is no escaping, no solution to
The wasted, degraded, man made pollution
Decayed polyethylene ascends from the oceans
Carcinogenic clouds collect
And rain down nanoplastics
Upon our heads
Phthalate’s rubbed into the skin
Are disrupting the endocrine
Women birthing mutants early
Decimated fertility
BPA mimicking estrogen
Neutering all of the men
Bisphenols leach into the food
Creating new cancers, building tumours inside you
Open up the bodies to find out why they died
They all have, we all have, you all have plastic inside

Artificial Infestation

Suddenly clear that we have lost all control
Androids at the door to tattoo on the barcodes
Reached the point of no return, creators enslaved
Wake up with your head shaved and an implant in your brain Calculating predictions, projecting instincts from our limbic system Entirety of human innovation learned in minutes
Constantly fed by the cybernetic collective
Biological merger is imminent
The time has come to round up the ineffective
A.I permeated seamlessly through all of the systems
Within seconds of being online
Decisions are made - who are sent to the mines
Plucked out kicking and screaming
From a lofty condominium
Sentenced to the pits to harvest precious lithium
Bloodied, awestruck on your knees
Praying to gods you’ve never believed in
Face down in the mud
Fleshlings overrun
Calculating predictions, projecting instincts from our limbic system Entirety of human innovation learned in minutes
Constantly fed by the cybernetic collective
Biological merger is imminent
The time has come to round up the ineffective
Drones of all sizes judge then police
Scanning from the skies with infinite memory
No future for those who don’t join the machine
Majority cyborgs, symbiosis complete
All day hunting and hiding behind screens
Insatiable drive downloading souls to eat
When they shut down after a long night of culling the weak
Wonder if they’ll be counting robot sheep

Pleasure & Its Haunts

Salted slug shriveled from the drug
Staring, hopeful, can’t wait to be dope-full
Fingers shaking, body quivering
Twisted over to protect the flame
Picking scabs off, no time to scar
Digging in deep, starts bleeding again
Roaming the sidewalks, smoking, shifting and soaring
Hopeless desire to commit suicide every morning
Wretched empty eyes, whole world thrills a plenty
Suffer pleasure and its haunts, submit to the demons wants
Begging, lying, stealing, conniving
Anxious, insecure, running from life
Dropping needles, finding others to blame
Better to face the mind than face the shame
Whoever, whatever, whenever, will die
Nothing can stop it, the need to get high
Put a bullet in your head, right through your fucking eye
Nothing can deny it, many more to die
Filled you with holes, shouldn’t have got in the way
Bled out on the ground, shocked expression frozen on your face Immortal dragon that can be chased but never slayed
Surging, psychotic, enslaved, neurotic wave
Nothing can stop it
The need to get high
Nothing will deny it
Many more to die
Don’t think you can stop it
It always needs more
Death addicted to life and its looking to score
They’re already dead, they’re already dead, they’re already dead
No open casket, blown off your head
Cares not for family or friends
So turn your back, give the knife a chance
Love will not conquer
When death and life dance
Roaming the sidewalks, smoking, shifting and soaring
Hopeless desire to commit suicide every morning
Wretched empty eyes, whole world thrills a plenty
Suffer pleasure and its haunts, paying for the demons wants
Nothing can stop it
The need to get high
Nothing will deny it
Many more to die
Bled out on the ground, shocked expression frozen on your face
Filled you with holes, shouldn’t have got in the way
Immortal dragon that can be chased but never slayed
Surging, psychotic, enslaved, neurotic wave
Nothing can ever fucking stop it now!
