Culture 03:04
Having seen what you can do to me Having felt their gaze follow me Whispers, whispers, whispers It’s like a voice in the back of your head You’re not even aware Overcoming reason Since forever We used to feel safe We used to belong We used to find meaning We had a future We were creative My ideas are gone My dreams are dead I've ran out of things to say But I guess you'd like me this way All that is left; what's still here The phobia and the fear I'm afraid to live a life I'm afraid to walk outside They're staring at me They're staring at me And I'm so fucking weak There's nothing left I'm screaming out For you to help (help) But there is nothing left No one left Everyone left NO ONE LEFT
2.
Phobia 02:10
The discomfort I get so nervous When i'm around I start shaking Idle hands I want to leave Rather stay home Rather be alone Shut the window Close the curtain Fucking stay there I’m so sorry I lost my head I filled my head with all these things concerning the right way to be But you, you’re so careless, so loud I digress I hate myself Fucking stay there.
3.
Misgiving 02:47
Your morals hang by a thread So innocent in all that death Shielded and naive We close your eyes To the impending doom Won't you read the signs Culture taught us wrong We had the wrong plan Last days of Rome Oh how could we Read it out so wrong The warmest winter The death of bees Free from pain  It does not scream  So innocent in all that death In all that destruction You never needed proof Even if the evidence was undeniable and true You would find a way to dismiss it To live in your bubble Not just comfort for your ignorant self No you're so calculating  Oh you're so rational BUT IT DOES AFFECT YOU
4.
Autoimmune 03:19
A fixation in my head And I dream and I dread You coward pretend  A deficiency, a deficiency You coward pretend  Nothing is and never be You coward pretend  Nothing is and never be A fixation in my head And I dream and I dread 20 hours my skin is red You coward pretend  A million things to say All this pressure I am drowning in An open wound Don’t let them in You’ve let me in When your body is attacking itself Every atom is misinformed
5.
Cogs 02:10
A system of slavery and addiction When a controlled substance is sustenance You're satisfied You had your fix You're dead to me You live in a bubble A synthesised reality The machine moves on You're just a cog Can't stop it from turning Head won't stop spinning It lays waste to all you never loved And you're oblivious, blue eyed and ignorant The machine is all we'll ever need It’s towards loneliness I strive The machine is all we’ll ever need Happiness out of a tube Emptiness inside of you Success is only for those who can walk alone We can't all stand on our own And it makes me It makes sense to me And it makes me It makes me want to end it all
6.
Agora 04:05
A half-remembered dream To remind me of something A group of friends In a public place To pretend That we didn't know To act as if strangers To one another A half-remembered dream To remind me of something To know what it's like To be treated as a stranger In a place Where you're supposed to feel safe We didn't get to choose We didn't get to choose Society We didn't get to choose We didn't get to choose What to do with our time How to live our lives We didn't get to choose Education and work We didn’t get to choose A half-remembered dream To remind me of something We are strangers to each other We are strangers to ourselves
7.
Unsociable 02:09
Cover me in make up I want to drown my sorrow I want to pretend like To express an emotion Alexithymia Develop empathy And acceptance Sensitivity To tolerate And live in harmony On the outside And looking in Social interactions Ironic detachment Shallow communication Pretend to pretend to pretend Cover me in make up I want to drown my sorrow I want to pretend like it never happened Like it’s all plastic, all artificial Like it’s all plastic, all fucking perfect.
8.
We were left alone To fend for ourselves Inside our minds grew The restlessness We tried to recover We tried to adapt And find our way back But still we got pushed out We were left to decide To live within or to live without There is nothing for us here We must find our own sun To feel infinite Complete detachment It would be like no one even knew We were ever here They are swimming in a great vast ocean We are the giants, running at the bottom Watching the people at the surface They are lost in communication problems We were never here.
9.
Contortion 02:18
Nu går mitt hjärta sönder Och det gör inte ont Men jag vet att det är sönder För jag vet att det är trasigt Därför att det känns trasigt Och det är svårt att svälja (My heart is breaking And it doesn’t hurt But I know that it’s broken Because it feels broken And it’s hard to swallow) I want to cry But I can't My face squeezes into that Contortion But no tears I need tears To tear me in two And let this nightmare escape
10.
Safe 02:36
I used to feel safe Inside my cage At least from the inside, I could watch the others shake. While i sat there Unshaken Now i'm afraid of fear So sick of being scared I can't walk around my loose ends Nothing can save me, dear I can't stop this I can't pretend anymore I’m afraid of years to come Because I’ll probably spend them alone However I don’t ask you to change All i want Is for you to see See things my way, This once, this one time And to understand Let there be room for me You used to feel safe Outside my cage At least from the outside You could watch me
11.
Feral Houses 03:32
Traces of what we were Traces of what we create It would be like as if No one even knew We were ever here... ...but the memories are mine to keep.
12.
Resignation 02:39
I won’t silently surrender I'm letting you know We're not friends Anymore You dream And you fantasise And I I organise You live life And I plan mine How fitting This is These tears Tear And I'm left in excuse of The inexcusable I won't call you I won't be in your life You kept quiet “It’s for the best” This is the end I'm letting you know We're not friends Anymore I'm giving up I'm letting you know I’m giving up We're not friends Anymore Communication is the hardest thing And I'm afraid you kept most of it Within And now I am Without A friend
