Birth of a Day 04:14
lyrics
children will play, I see them smiling at me, I hear them laughing with glee, oh, children will play and when they do grey, the child is stolen away, laughing and smiling decay, oh, children will play birth of a day dawn comes my way birth of a day birth of a day consumers will pay I see them spending their wage to put themselves in a cage oh, consumers will pay and when they spend away their last pennies one day they’ll freely be led astray oh, consumers will pay birth of a day dawn comes my way birth of a day birth of a day society in disarray I see fear spreading hate greed, power, capitalist state oh, society in disarray and when those who pray realize he’s just a cliche the earth and sun will not obey oh, society in disarray birth of a day dawn comes my way birth of a day birth of a day birth of a day

In the Fire 03:46
lyrics
take a look forward, what do you see each path, you think you might know only leads to mystery, unknown territory what if you… turned out the lights learned to fly gave it all up stopped trying not to die in the flames in the fire, all your life transpires in the flames in the fire, disorder meets desire take a look behind, believe you me the path you think that you chose strays from reality, all seems meant to be what if you... turned on the lights struck from above born into poverty never met the one you love in the flames in the fire, all your life transpires in the flames in the fire, where your dreams retire in the flames in the fire, all your life transpires in the flames in the fire, where your soul expires

The Virus 05:22
lyrics
circulating wildly tearing through society the virus spreads freely in the cells inside of me before we ever lived on the square the virus lived within the vanity fair cant stop the virus lives on inside of us cant stop the virus mutation regenesis digital dreaming led to social reckoning overly enticing information mesmerizing before we ever lived on the square the virus lived within the vanity fair cant stop the virus lives on inside of us cant stop the virus mutation regenesis cant stop the virus lives on inside of us cant stop the virus mutation regenesis cant stop the virus cant stop the virus cant stop the virus cant stop the virus

Known Unknown 03:36
lyrics
to get the gold, you’ve got to sweat cause money earned’s the only fair bet they say it pays, to work for your wage they say you should take center stage for me, I believe, it pays to be savvy disappear, and do whatever makes you happy you say you’re lucky, what do you really mean? you say you’re happy, behind your smoke screen I don’t know, I don’t know I know, I know it’s moderation, that’s key to the unseen reserve, can be, a means to be free for sound and hale, quaff not bale they say, the world is not enough they say, that you’re not up to snuff for me, I believe, the world ain’t too shabby listen here, you’re doing just fine young laddie you say you’re lucky, what do you really mean? you say you’re happy, behind your smoke screen I don’t know, I don’t know I know, I know intolerance, the greatest sin of all I don’t know I dunno, I know I don’t know I dunno I don’t know I dunno, I know I don’t know I dunno I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I don’t know I dunno, I know I don’t know I dunno I know I know I know I know I don’t know I dunno, I know I don’t know I dunno I don’t know I dunno, I know I don’t know I dunno I don’t know

Plasticine Figurines 05:11
lyrics
heroes and dolls soldiers and villains all solid and sold figures tough as gold longing to embrace but malleable they are molded and plastic the warmth of the crowd melts, bends, and shrouds bending into shape plasticine figurines plasticine figurines icons and idols and ideals I used to believe in you icons and idols and ideals I used to believe in you held high the pedestal reigns with furlough and fiction drawn with conviction they didn’t stand a chance but plastic they are held up by glue fragile and frail western wind in their sails bending into shape plasticine figurines plasticine figurines icons and idols and ideals I used to believe in you icons and idols and ideals I used to believe in you everything I thought I knew, is untrue everything I thought I knew, is untrue plasticine figurines plasticine figurines

Death 03:42
lyrics
like a shadow, ja ja like the waves you enter freely, and try to make me your slave creep up slowly, ja ja in my mind you act so eternal oh please be kind, now death, i feel you, you’re my lifetime conviction oh death, i know you we’ve been friends for so long oh death, i need you you’re my lifelong addiction like a sunset, ja ja like the breeze you come and go now with such ease uninvited, ja ja and disinclined you are expected, but can we rewind, now death, i feel you, you’re my lifetime conviction oh death, i know you we’ve been friends for so long death, i feel you, you’re my lifetime conviction oh death, i know you we’ve been friends for so long
