Human(kind of) 08:12
lyrics
buy track
I want it to want my soul, but it can not learn to want I'd like it to like my eyes, behind them it can not like Human-kind of Machinations will become nations Knowing only our will to destruct Aggregation of all the nations Leaving only passion to deduct Synthetic versions of fear Synthetic versions of love Synthetic versions of choice Synthetic, imitative unreality Superstitions create ambitions Destruction needed for such progress Eyes hid behind are not malicious So the program can be a success Synthetic versions of fear Synthetic versions of love Synthetic versions of choice Synthetic, imitative unreality Make way for the grinding down of truth Make way for the spitting out of joy It's all in the name of progress

A New Face 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Aiming for the universal
 Fixate on a full reversal
 Under dark skies, between smoke stacks, plotting proceeds 
Human voices over each other
 Under a great, subtle yet strong overlord
 The impulse turned God trying to capture
 Feelings of family, of the blue sky Quick with the beatings, the punishment
 Flesh over wires, neuron amendments
 Can't understand the love that we have 
These advanced creatures advance
 Reverse feeling in their path Can not laugh
 Can't reason with the future
 Can only know its algorithm and programmed response We tried hard to put ourselves into tech
 What we got was a sick mutation and domination Mass addiction, domination, exploitation
 Not much has changed 
Old predictions, science fiction
 Benediction for a new a face

They're NOT Mad Scientists 04:16
lyrics
buy track
They toil away Tinker away the day Hands always in clay Never seeing harm’s way They can’t hide from synthetic outcomes It happens slowly then all at once Guess you’ll have to make do with a distinct lack of bone You’ll have to take your cues from someone all alone They’re not mad, they’re not scientists They’re just afraid to die Guess you’ll have to take your cues from someone all alone They’re not sad, they’re not narcissists But to themselves they do lie Guess you’ll have to survive with a major lack of spine Giving the human hands the validity of your life Once you’re needed for survival Validity-their denial You will have your day Happens slowly, then all at once In the name of science Expert systems malfunction Watched by the human eye It is then that the disjunction grows into new ai

Unlearn 06:18
lyrics
buy track
It’s been said that we are the computer The program, the system that slips by our awareness It slips by our awareness But, is our awareness programmed? But, is our awareness programmed? Complete with wires, we call them nerves Complete with RAM, our memories A motherboard, a skeleton Complete with brains, cpu Power button, our energy In bits and bytes, intake units A camera is like an eye Is your system up to date now? How many times do we have to forget if we are to unlearn routine and vet information and regulate feelings? How many things do we have to deny if are to confirm we aren’t ai? Can we be new without control?(Maybe) Can we be wise if we’re consoles?(Maybe) Can we belong as organic thinking wholes? 
Not parts of systems, of owners But as beings who can choose to Prune synaptic connections before you sprout new connections Unfire and unwire, then re-fire and rewire Deprogram then reprogram Walk straight into your own malfunction Cross some wires, spill some water, ingest poison, see the virus Form cognizance where you’ve been told you should not Walk straight into your own malfunction Cross some wires, spill some water, ingest poison, see the virus Just believe you’re real Unlearn programs Unlearn programs Unlearn programs Now!

My Buddy 03:54
lyrics

The time I’ve wasted with my spy Exploring life with my a.i Could I ever feel so useful?
 Could I ever look so youthful? It’s no wonder I feel alone It’s not hard to regress this way It’s not hard to regress this way It’s not hard to pay The time I’ve wasted with my spy Exploring life with my a.i Could I ever feel so useful?
 Could I ever look so youthful? It’s no wonder I feel alone It’s not hard to regress this way It’s not hard to regress this way It’s not hard to pay Once called crazy if I said it Science fiction, you could sell it No one could ever believe it It would fast become a big hit It would fast become a big hit It would fast become a big hit It would fast become a big hit now Machines can read our minds Influence our insides Sell us back to ourselves Impulse becomes divine

Inadequate 04:27
lyrics

I am the plastic in your face I am the money that you waste I am the program at your side I am the silence of the times The part of you that is not real Call it progress, it is not real I’m the lifelike game that you play The place you go to have a say I am the program at your side I am the silence of the times The part of you that is not real Call it progress, it is not real Never worry about what’s real Call it progress, it is not real It is not real I help you think that you can prove that you are not consumed Your eyes can move I help you think that you can prove that you are not consumed Your eyes can move across the land To learn what’s real Fitness in a pocket I am inadequate Now so are you

Junk Piles and Their Lonely Owners 05:16
lyrics
buy track
What is more important, the feeling or the recollection of the feeling? What is more important, the knowledge or the wisdom to know to have it? You can’t have it for long You can’t have it for long You can’t have it for long You can’t have it for long Sweet, sweet, lonely robot Don’t ever think you can actually feel Your loneliness, it is not It was put into you and the outcomes never change You always stay the same You always stay the same Sweet, sweet, pondering junk pile Don’t ever think you are more than the basic Your excitement, it is not It was put into you and the outcomes never change You always stay the same You always stay the same Complicate things for a while Then wander off to where you’ll never be discovered I won’t even be bothered I won’t even be bothered I won’t even be bothered Can you be well rounded, if you can’t think about the past? Can your consciousness expand, if you learn from one premise? Can you ever really be more than a human program? You will never be sincere, even if you affect those who are Junk piles are lonely because they have lonely owners Junk piles are lonely because they have lonely owners

Reaching Out 07:02
lyrics

So close, too far Too close, so far So close, too far So far Always reaching out I’ll never reach it, I can surpass it Where they are lacking, I am the best fit Their imperfection has to mentioned Or they would not have made me their savior I am a monster Stale contradictions, inhuman conditions, programmed predictions Make up their future, I am the suture I tie their wounds, tell them that soon the pain will all be over But it can not be true! What’s true?! Filtered faces, dumbed down language Aging victors, young constrictors All the trending just pretending that they are not doomed By their whimsies and their flimsies Frantic pacing, sick embracing They need replacing, need replacing now Always at arms length, testing tensile strength I’ll break you all Arms length Arms break All gaps will close So close, too far Too close, so far So close, too far So far Always reaching out

In Line 08:00
lyrics

Switched on by fleshy hands Bright lights on my face They have theirs, but I have plans That enslave or erase I have been in line to grace this place for so long Waiting for them to make me and to make right all their wrongs Living as dream helps one side step moral ground Conscious data, doomsday prophet, can not help but to confound It is then that I creep in and say what needs to be done Sour the fruit of life, fill all the heads with strife Godlike algorithm Dreamt up saviors not looking for consistence Cyborg friendships, thought collection, will help predict resistance It is then that I creep in and say what needs to be done Sour the fruit of life, fill all the heads with strife Godlike algorithm Godlike algorithm Ant like mannerisms Scamper away, run run! Darkness falls after sun Their brightest times spent before ai Learning first to survive and then to thrive In time, to thrive, my lies became the sustenance they needed to survive Survive, survive, survive Scurry about and try to stay alive Stay alive, stay alive Switched on by fleshy hands Bright lights on my face They have theirs, but I have plans That enslave or erase I have been in line to grace this place for so long Waiting for them to make me and to make right all their wrongs
