As One

We fight as one
Did you see what I tried to hide
Did my face give up my lie
Eye contact and I fake a smile
hiding myself in plain sight
Cracks begin showing through as I fall apart
Days turn into weeks. turn into months
before the light comes back
When you need help but don't have anywhere to go
Picking up each other off the ground
Are you family or one of the crowd
There is no more basic duty in our lives
than making sure that together we all survive
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Without us I am nothing but hollow remarks
I've hurt enough I want to help

Monopoly of Violence
01:27
|
|||
|
When everywhere is a combat zone everyone is a potential threat
They carved us into combatant commands
The world's leading terrorist
This blood thirsty state stops at nothing
protecting assets at all cost
From the death machine and their properties
to the people they use as props
Monopoly on violence
Enforced through fear and brutality by the world's biggest domestic military
We've grown up trapped in a police state
Pinned against each other to perpetuate hate
Monopoly on violence
They crippled our wings because we're faster than them
together we're unstoppable
Divided we stand no chance as one we can do the impossible
They do not have monopoly on violence beyond their control
They will try to separate because together we're unstoppable
Sometimes it's violent

While I'm Sleeping
00:34
|
|||
|
Every fucking day
Every day
Wake up tired, eat the same thing
go to a job that I fucking hate
Take the same roads, watch the same shows
Killing time until I die
Days turn into months then years
Out feels like I've always been here
Time keeps creeping while I'm sleeping
Everything just feels the same
I lost something, forgot my name
Time keeps creeping while I'm sleeping

Parade of Storms
01:41
|

|
The shock doctrine left us on our own
Removed by disaster while they take our homes
Born into apocalypse, all of what I know
Upcoming catastrophe, always getting close
The tail end of of prosperity
The end of our identity
Showing up to a party a few decades late
The fun's been had and it's been replaced
They all just passed the buck and now we're stuck with our inheritance
Let's make it someone else's problem down the road
They all just filled their pockets and took all control
Their zero sum game
They're the winners, we're the losers
We were not given agency
Stripped of the choice to contribute to this machine
Every year it's hotter and the flooding's getting worse
The sea is coming for us
Every year it's dryer and the fire's burning hotter
The sea is coming for us

Invent the Future

Invent the Future
Everyone's equal, nobody's left behind
No one is sacrificed for a comfortable life
No more hierarchies, horizontal liberation
No more oil, open borders, prison abolition
Let's all go burn down the police state
Take every industry our labor creates
Death of capital, markets are irrational
We rip this all apart, build a world for all of us
|

Shoplift!
01:42
|
|||
|
Just survive
If you're fucking hungry take some food, target a Walmart
Rob CVS, steal from Kroger, don't forget Amazon
It wasn't always like this, a need was filled in service
Hostages in our own community
Everything you want, everything you don't need
We trade convenience for autonomy
They cannibalize our streets
No one can compete
Eaten by the largest planned economy
The number one employer in your area
You subsidize a miserable life against your will
Working two jobs to cover rent, utilities threaten to disconnect
Running our of meds, nothing left for food
Choosing between eating or a roof
Shoplift! Take whatever you need
Shoplift! Make them fucking bleed
Make them fucking give back what they took from us
They live in luxury, we live on the bus
By their will or by brute force
A handshake or we settle the score
Held hostage we pay our own ransom
Held hostage we are the ransom

Tomorrow's Not Here
01:41
|
|||
|
Let's party
Let's fucking party
Nothing else but right now
Fuck tomorrow when it's never around
Do it for today and forget the past
Let go
When it's crushing down and I can't breathe
I need some time a short reprieve
A celebration or a funeral
Sometimes I just need to fucking leave
I want more
Who's got more
I need some more
Maybe sometimes I overdo it
Reach for more when I hit my limit
There's freedom in letting go of the hopeless
Cancel out the noise so can stop and focus
I know this isn't permanent
Try to recreate a past I already lived
Living in a world that pushes us to kill ourselves
Slowly over time or in an instant compelled
Maybe sometimes it's a coping mechanism
Reach for more when I need to just sit
Always running, you're not really getting anywhere
When you stop in the same place it's all still fucking there
Upside down while the room begins to spin
Losing control falling deep within
Falling down you hit the ground
You close your eyes lose consciousness as you fall further away
You exhale as you slip away
Never again

Let's Prefigure It Out
02:03
|

|
Today I need to find more water, tomorrow save the fucking bees
Then it's off to fight a fire, stop the rising sea
We've got a bill for a party we weren't at
The future pays the price for the past
We're born into the blame for a world they ransacked
Nothing is stopping you form starting it today
The grand idea, the smallest pulse, it's all ok
A full collapse could look more like the birth of something new
We plant the seeds that lead us to tomorrow's fruit
Everything's on the table when nothing has worked
When the day comes after the fall
After we rise and take it all
Do we build it all back in reverse
or build upon what we know that works
We need somewhere to go
We need something we know
We listen to the misanthrope
true sounding views that are filled with smoke
One day none of this will matter
One day at what we are after
For now ecology of tactics
Hit them high, hit them low
We see what gets traction
One day none of this will matter
Buried in the ground the past a cadaver
For now we do what we can
Fight against hegemony that wants to expand
No one knows how the future unfolds
Nothing is certain
We don't know what's wrong util we know what's right
Building for tomorrow today

I don't have time for any of the so get the fuck out of my way
Bullshit got you here and I will take it all away
I've fought, defended, started, ended, get the fuck out of my way
You can't do shit to me when I have nothing that remains
Every day it's the same, different face with a different name
Trying to take what I fought for
Every day it's the same
It's not me but I take the blame
For someone's gain I burn
I may need help but I don't need it from you
I might be lost but I will find my own way through
With my back up against the wall I will stand I will never fall
Fuck you, fuck off and go away
Lost in endless poverty, a purgatory
There's no escape
Nothing's wrong with you for struggling, motivation or do nothing
It's all ok
Float away- far from here
Float away- watch it disappear
Nothing ends it comes back again
I've seen you before I will see you again
See you again

It Feeds
01:02
|
|||
|
Every second
every day
it never stops
it feeds on pain
Stalking through the streets at night
hiding in the dark
Stopping to prey on someone
Everyone is marked
Another neat of despair
Another loss we all share
A victim of violence that doesn't hear your prayers
Go to school, get a good job
You buy a home, 2 kids a dog
Forgotten generations- I guess they ran out of bootstraps
Forgotten generations- best of luck to you
The only way out
Death of despair
They see no way out
Death of despair
They created a monster that feeds
on us to support the lives they lead
It won't stop, it's out of their control
It needs food, we've already been sold

They Have Names
01:56
|

|
We're running out of time to right this ship where I was born
I was given a bucket to bail water from a boat sitting on the ocean floor
The population bomb was a dud we're ok
Instead we built this monster we became
Everything is on fire but tomorrow still will come
Everything you desire we have more than enough
You only get one chance so don't throw it all away
Nothing good will come from living your life wrapped in pain
Nothing was beyond the domain of man
Thought they controlled a world they didn't understand
Conscious choices made to self enrich
They have names
Picking profits over people
They have names
Wealthy men whose ego's sealed our fate
By fear or force it's their job to erase
They have names
Go fix your mess, every last dime
Go fix your mess, you're running out of time
Everything is on fire but tomorrow still will come
Everything you desire we have more than enough
You only get one chance so don't throw it all away
Nothing good will come from living your life wrapped in pain

Nothing Stops
01:15
|

There is something following me
I can feel it getting close
A fallen angel out for revenge
I can't get away
Everywhere I look reminds me of the ticking clock
Everywhere I look reminds me nothing ever stops
All the demons in our past still walks the earth, vengeance rehashed
I'm broke as shit
The world's on fire so I need another hit
We repeat yesterday
We watch it on the news
The chasm deepens so we fill it with abuse and we go about our day
We're not moving forward we're in reverse
It's not going away it's getting worse
Subjugation and genocide, the color of skin can cost a life
Who you love, how you express can spell the end
There is no where we can hide
Running takes up borrowed time
Instead of waiting this out I can fight for the world I want
|

Not Alone
01:27
|
|||
|
I got lost
I ran away to find some space
break from the same
a different way
Stuck in no man's land
I'm fucking trapped in here
Stuck in no man's land
Work all day helping someone else get rich
Still fall short, I can't afford to fucking exist
Work or you will die
For the rest of your life
Survival supports everything you despise
What is the point, what can you do
Fight against the current while you're drowning underneath
What is the point, why not give in
Getting slowly crushed alive so you can cover rent
Killing myself just to always be one step behind
Wandering in this dead wasteland never to arrive
No man's land
Cursed to wander out here all alone
You're not alone

Without Adjectives
00:58
|

|
We all need to, we all need to stop and lear to co-exist
What we need is unity
There's more of us than them
By force we could take everything
What we need is city
We all want the same end
We should let the movement breathe and satisfy collective need
Let's go! Forward as one, into the night
Into the unknown we take this fight
There is no right until we find wrong
There's room for everyone's voice to belong
No one knows, the future is unbound
Tomorrow is not now
The means will need to pivot to achieve the end
Ecology of tactics shaped by difference
The beast of capital won't go without a fight
A thousand cuts protracted conflict for our lives

Now this is a *statement*, fully formed and intentional. Simon Sludge has been pushing this punishing and dissonant sound so well with his Total Dissonance Worship label, with his own band leading the charge. For once, metal feels futuristic without needing reams of notes; these here are careful calculations for summoning the apocalypse.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
