2.	Blackheart 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Your heart is black and misanthropic, but that's alright with me. I've let you down so often, it's chronic Blackheart Too hot, too cold, too fierce to hold that's the state of affairs these days blackheart, hardcase, blackheart, your face... facing away from me. Your heart is darkening and hardened it's tough for me to see a vicious blackhole of sharp sadness Blackheart. Forgot the fire, situation dire. How long can this go on? Wasted words, wasted time Blackheart, it's enough. I've heard them say it's a thin line. Between contempt and love. Blackheart we're chained Blackheart I'll change it'll be different soon Blackheart we're changed Blackheart i'll change or maybe i'm just dumb. Can you remember when we first started easy smiles and so in love seems like we were never parted Blackheart Those things that were cute, the situation is moot resting loathing and shopping lists righteously upset, constant annoyance. Blackheart i'm spent. I've heard them say it's a thin line. Between contempt and love. Blackheart we're chained Blackheart I'll change it'll be different soon Blackheart we're changed Blackheart i'll change or maybe it's just done.

Tear it down cash it in Tear it down cash it in Tear it down cash it in Tear it down cash it in The profit motive is plain to see Your needs are not important to me I own this, I own everything You’re simply an NPC The profit motive is plain to see Your needs are not important to me I own this, I own everything You’re simply an NPC Hostile architecture Hostile architecture The profit motive is plain to see Your needs are not important to me I own this, I own everything You’re simply an NPC Hostile.
6.	Conflict Bias 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Your whole thing is lame Cognitive dissonance, against the grain I see you coming, you fake If you see me coming, better do a quick fade I’ve got something Against you I’ll bury the hatchet in your face What compels you to say that? What compels you to keep getting on my case? Conflict! Bias! Conflict! Bias! Conflict! Bias! Conflict! Bias! Got a whole lot to say Auto conflict bias and rage All things said are wrong We’re out of phase Sneaking in like a thief To my own place

8.	Storied Past, Bright future 04:47	lyrics	buy track
This chapter is over it was never quite in doubt… Let it out… Let it out They’ve got you reeling scared of what they might find out… Let it out… Let it out It’s not how you live your life, it’s what you leave behind... there’s no doubt, there’s no doubt. Keep moving forward through the dark, as if blind... silent shout... silent shout High security prison escapee Your storied past doesn't bother me. The future's so bright, but you don't have to wear shades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. The future is so bright we have to squint to see… I can see… I can see Been held back for so long and finally we are free. I can see... we are free High security prison escapee Your storied past doesn't bother me. The future's so bright, but you don't have to wear shades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades. Just take it in, before it fades.
