Fabricator 04:31
Bitter one I see you Bitter one I see you Isometric Tilt the lens to the left Isometric Tilt the lens to the left Change the angle Get me a better view I can see Much too handle You don't care what happens to me Go away Leave me be All the weaving, fabricating So you can point your gun at me There's something from the corner Spreading like wildfire All thoughts evaporate That's how you operate For your gain All my shame Always be The fabricator Confide with the snakes You're losing control United you stand Divided you fall You put me in a frame Placed me in a way That they see I am the one you're supposed to be All the adjustments Made to cater Your perfect image You fabricator There's something from the corner Spreading like wildfire All thoughts evaporate That's how you operate For your gain All my shame Always be The fabricator 'Cause you've been there all this time On the walls stuck like a fly And dictating what they see Yeah, that's all you'll ever be If it's all you'll ever be You're nothing but a Fabricator There's something from the corner Spreading like wildfire All thoughts evaporate That's how you operate For your gain All my shame Always be The fabricator

I will brace To the warmth of the headlights I'll go on For the twentieth straight night I'll be gone Until the cavalry arrives Yeah, none of what it used to be So stop reminding me Walking on a cul-de-sac Compensate for what you lack Maybe they will want you back (Everything's impossible) You can see what I don't show You're hiding it under a stone Don't let it out under the sun 'Cause the wax will melt when I'm gone Daylight comes Yeah that's how it's supposed to be Wrap your bones Clear the smoke in front of me Lying alone Shade of the grey old tree Yeah none of what it used to be So stop reminding me Walking on a cul-de-sac Compensate for what you lack Maybe they will want you back (Everything's impossible) You can see what I don't show You're hiding it under a stone Don't let it out under the sun 'Cause the wax will melt The wax will melt The wax will melt When I'm gone Walking on a cul-de-sac Compensate for what you lack Maybe they will want you back Everything's in front of you You can see what I don't show You're hiding it under a stone Forgotten what I used to be So stop reminding me No, stop reminding me No, stop reminding me No, stop reminding me

Silence on the front door Calling out I can tell you see What this means to me The headlights and the windshield blurring out The smoke and haze Stuck in this lonely place Waiting all this time Floating from the ground From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes Impending doom Looking for you Sitting on the edge Holding on Reducing all my options Afraid of the direction All this time I wasn't even sure of what to say Frozen to the core Telling me you wanted me more Waiting all this time Empty and profound From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes Impending doom Looking for you Waiting all this time From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes From the shadows of my mind You can see it through my eyes Impending doom Looking for you

Things I can't change Hopes down the drain Forget my name Before I fade I was guessing all the figures on the walls Barely running as I wait For the moment that never came after all Understanding it's too late Losing myself Losing touch Been through this hell with all the bad luck Things I can't change Hopes down the drain Forget my name Before I fade I don't care at all Uncertainty is following me 'round Take the dive and crawl Facing forward straight unto the ground From the pavement To my grave Make a statement Before I fade Things I can't change Hopes down the drain Forget my name Before I fade Yeah you can get by Don't let me in for another try Yeah you can get by Come roll the dice when it arrives Things I can't change Hopes down the drain Forget my name Before I fade

Mind Eraser 01:57
The mind eraser Let it slip through your brain Go on keep telling The secret you've been hiding In your drunken haze You left unfazed Written on your face "Where is this place?" Ignore the sequence Let it slip on your tongue Look around you Tell me what you've done? In your drunken haze You left unfazed Written on your face "Where is this place?"
7.
When all the dust is settled I'm spacing out every time What have I done to myself? A rush of words are always held at The tip of my tongue Every time you walk away This is the only way I can put it to words And all I wanna know The sigh of relief when I go It's all pointless To say all the things That I wanna say When there's no one to talk to No one to talk to All the doodles in my head Are going to implode Should save it for the next episode (Flick the switch, 'cause I'm trapped in my prison) But all the screaming Trembling Voices in my radio The sigh of relief when I go It's all pointless To say all the things That I wanna say When there's no one to talk to No one to talk to When there's no one to talk to When there's no one to talk to No one to talk to It's all pointless To say all the things That I wanna say When there's no one to talk to No one to talk to

Dreaming 03:48
Lost in my station Can't help myself Towards your direction Wasting all of my time Again Closing both my eyes No reason left to smile Leaning on the window Take me somewhere you know So much for what I've been told Feel free to shut the door when you go Dreaming of the same thing At the night Hearing all the same words All day (And it never stops, never stops) Flicking all the ash off the end Falling for the same trick Again Over and over again Floating on the air Tethered to the ground Tethered to a braid Waiting to be found When I'm lying down Can't listen to the sound Laughing on the talkshow Didn't I get the memo? Losing all my ego Please leave the lights on When you go Dreaming of the same thing At the night Hearing all the same words All day (And it never stops, never stops) Flicking all the ash off the end Falling for the same trick Again Over and over again Sleep in and focus Begging for disaster Lost my perception I am gone Dreaming of the same thing At night
9.
I never said I wanted to Drift away from you The nine to fives’s are meaningless If I can’t go home to you The weight of the world on our shoulders Breaking our backs getting older The longer that I hesitate Waiting, watching Trying hard to concentrate Slowly fading The longer that I hesitate Waiting, watching Trying hard to concentrate Slowly fading The more you learn to hate The more you learn to hate You don’t have to ask for the last time Hours and hours of this rough climb Violate the usual expectations Anxieties, obligations I can’t deny That I left I left The longer that I hesitate Waiting, watching Trying hard to concentrate Slowly fading The more you learn to hate The more you learn to hate The longer that I hesitate Waiting, watching Trying hard to concentrate Slowly fading The more you learn to hate The more you learn to hate

Fraud 05:00
To and fro Like the bell On the wall I see it all I'm tempted to go But as soon as I realise I don't belong But if i'll be present I'm just another decoration On the wall And if i'll be honest I never planned on being on this planet At all Not at all Not at all Yeah, I was told, "You're chasing your tail out on the cold" Bitten by exhaustion By the small talk company Negative emotions And I'm looking down the balcony One day I'll look back and know Why exactly it had to happen And if I'll be honest I'm getting sick of living on this planet That's cruel But I was told, "You're chasing your tail out on the cold" Out on the cold I feel like a fraud There's not one thing I should be proud Addicted to the comfort So I'm Shifting all my focus But I Can't get you out of here The moment I still fear Yeah, I was told, "You're chasing your tail out on the cold" I feel like a fraud There's not one thing I should be proud
