1.	Face of Violence 03:34	lyrics	buy track
the machines of humanity are deafening turning this earth into our world and leave nothing behind appropriation, domination, assimilation colonial structures in use by those in power to defend nothing but a kingdom of emptiness nothing is left intact all is taken or claimed everything is burned down when we have the ability to rip off the mask of normality we see the face of everyday violence we see it for what it is for what it is planetary plundering, we won’t stand by we’ve got to end this raid as the resistance grows
2.	Smoke and Mirrors 03:04	lyrics	buy track
justice, for the ones that have died by your hand penance, for the kids that won’t have a future take the blame smoke and mirrors to hide it all while you ask for our approval smoke and mirrors obscure it all while you betray our approval when did you think you could separate from the facts? what justifies your parliament of betrayal? heavy hangs the head nothing we’ll forget stealing someone’s future burying the past betraying our consent trivializing your acts anxious for our future tired of our past we revoke our consent this will be your last anxious for our future tired of our past we revoke our consent this will be your last
3.	Feeding the Hand That Bites 03:33	lyrics	buy track
convinced of your inability neutralized and disarmed given up on all morality live our lives with no regard as we seek comfort in blatant lies to justify our actions, we feed the hand that bites branded and numbered, we go day by day misleading the masses infiltrating our culture no independent thought brutalizing our conscience making me pay selling my values indoctrinated the path to compliance is paved with gold paved with gold making me pay while selling my values going day by day as we seek comfort in blatant lies to justify our actions, we feed the hand that bites feeding the hand that bites
4.	Borderli(n)es 04:15	lyrics	buy track
born into paradise my right to joy my privilege to consume these walls aren’t thick enough these fences aren’t high enough these gates won’t protect the frail politics of blood and soil neglecting bright minds holding us captive obstructed to find better ways these walls aren’t strong enough to keep us apart as we imagine to hold our loved ones too much pain too much grief as we hold on to barriers gripped by the fear of the unknown these borders are lines that cut our minds there is no way to hold us these borders are lines that cut through lives a humiliation of mankind break down the constructs that confine us unburdened and free these borders are lies a humiliation of mankind
5.	Conclude the Fight 03:19	lyrics	buy track
every single day I fight for peace in my mind I’ve got to deal with the weight of a world I did not create constant drain of energy no relief no rest this is where it ends gotta be, gotta be the one to put it all aside gotta be, gotta be the one to conclude this fight the pain of the hurt the hate of the neglected I took it all inside nowhere to be at ease feel this, feel this weight pressing down on me all these, all these thoughts dwelling in my mind I’m afraid to exist in a world at war with everything that lives no more hesitation putting it all behind no more desperation clearing my mind no more desperation no more desperation gotta be, gotta be the one to put it all aside gotta be, gotta be the one to conclude this fight I take refuge in my conscience, fearless for fate to keep my heart from being invaded with hate not allowing this war to infiltrate my mind to leave this internal state of pain behind

7.	Toxic Apathy 03:09	lyrics	buy track
frustrated egos denying insecurities drowning everyone around in toxic apathy inflated egos hiding their fragility breakable like porcelain, resisting to be free to be free are you victimized by all these lives in ruins? self-pity in the eyes of your survivors while yet another name is buried under your fame trying to escape from the blame and violence while thriving on the shame and silence trying to escape from the blame and violence while thriving on the shame and silence your disregard is no excuse your ignorance is abuse
