Track Name: Obsolescence
Artificial in existence
Forged with obsolescence
Actuated synthetics
Are running in tow with aberrations
Obsolescence

Propaganda perpetuates
Through engines
Oligarchal untruths
Reinforced
Propaganda perpetuates
Through engines

Parasites planted in the mind
Now making their way into the flesh
Man-made machines
Mass-produced with malignance
Information asymmetry
Continues to control humankind
Man-made machines
Mass produced with malignance

We have become prisoners of time
We have become victims of their greed

Artificial in existence
Forged with obsolescence
Actuated synthetics
Are running in tow with aberrations
Obsolescence
Track Name: Solipsist
They sell a one-way ticket for all of your senses
You’re content with all the lies
That you’ve been force fed your entire lives
Bias achieved through the primal thoughts
That are inherently solipsistic
It’s nothing more
Than the regressive tendencies
That feed the alter ego
A delusion

Your senses are overloaded again
Till they become numb
You seek patterns in chaos again
To reveal a false reality
Track Name: Master Supreme
In a world that’s filled with ruination
There’s always ignorance
The search for meaning has been hijacked
Relegated our existence
The fight for power in any form
Waged on for centuries
There emerged a peculiar type
The great Master Supreme

Blethering their way to the naive
Prophets of pure nonsense have arrived
Explanations never correlate
Peddling all this new-age poppycock

Expose them all, toss them in the garbage
Where they belong, nullify their forces
Track Name: Dead End
Inadvertent to repetition
Subjected to monetary trapping
Slowly chip away at your mind
Vicious their levity
There are strategies meticulously put in
Positioned to stop progression
Inadvertent to repetition
Subjected to monetary trapping
Slowly chip away at your mind
Vicious their levity
There are strategies meticulously put in
Positioned just for suppression
Deliberately deceived with supposed incentives
At the cost of what?

Paradigms turned over
Disenchanted submission
To their ends

The hazardous infliction
It spreads through the cracks
Productivity comes first
But at the cost of what?

Diseased - The center, corrupting the whole
Diseased - The center, lost in the void
Diseased - The enter, corrupting us all
Diseased - The center, lost in the void
Track Name: Identoid
Pressure to assimilate
You give in to savage belief
Comfort in labels
To belong, you condone death

Just a mask to function
With wicked intentions
In a maze of eternal illusion
You run till the end of time
Till the end of… Time

You’ve grown accustomed to killing because
You’ve been desensitized by your religions
Doctrines that masquerade as truth
Have pervaded your mind
You accept without question
The dogmas that plague us all
Unsound and misguided
You’re too blind to your own fallacies
Devoid of any coherence, you propound lies

Altering your mind
Shadows surface
A crutch for fantasies - genocidal

Manufactured bullshit on the news
Recycled garbage aired just for you
Circle of confirmation bias
Forever doomed
Track Name: Sugar Pill
Questions still left unanswered
It’s obvious there’s no mystic reason
Yet always you claim ‘like cures like’
Blame miasms

You say ingest them sugar pills
I say it’s just placebo
Pretense without any evidence
Industry run by mere deception

Sugar pills!

Pseudoscience adopted by mere faith
Embedded in our culture will end us all
Diluting things with each other has never cured
Track Name: Zero-Sum Game
Vicious cycle in motion
Never-ending game
Conned by these cronies
With interests of their own

Regulated compensation
Ignored again
Isolation uninhibited
Orchestrated well
Regulated compensation
Ignored again
Isolation uninhibited
Orchestrated well by men
In their ivory towers

Their vast shadows
Engulf the entire world
Like leeches, they draw blood
Anesthetics in place

A lack of understanding
Propelled by conmen on demand

Zero-sum game
Track Name: Disassembly Line
Forced into vain existence without a concern
Burned by fallout in a world made for slaves

Indoctrination through flawed pedagogy - tailored
You’re all brainwashed by primitive thought for - control
Inculcation: learning by rote - constant
Tests standardised, made to keep us - in check
Just maggots living in a corpse

Hives now full of decay
While we all slog away
Gluttonous pigs hold the reins
And revel in fractured ways

Infestation of the mind
Congregations to conform
Installation of non-thought
Resist them all till we’re dust
Phase out all the social structures
And all of the societal pressure
That dictates paths
