Sunjacked of a shadow’s will
Winding black dial’s face
The breadth of flesh affairs filled
By night in heart of day
Faint alarms sound from the hill
A rain from dew to storm
Radio waving
Nerve diffusion landfill
Overflowing arms spilling over
Eyes that look through one another
That once would have found each other
A time unspent on any other
A sum of only the self uncovered
Fire bred
We connect
Lingering lung charring paths intersect
Fire bred
We connect
Further pushing our divides
Yet physically the more alike/aligned than ever
Further pushing our divides
Apathy toward kinship of mind and spirit
Slow flames of fire breathers
Moving and reshaping
Quiet the smoke whipping and crossing
Filter skies entrap
Eyes that look through one another
That once would have found each other
A time unspent on any other
A sum of only the self uncovered
Fire bred
We connect
Lingering lung charring paths intersect
Fire bred
We connect
Maybe we will meet
Some day again
Maybe to meet again one day
In or above the earth
A winding path we’ll have paved
In hopes of our rebirth
Split and carried in all direction
By design and risk assessed
Intersecting of intention
Rigid lines and narrow steps
Fire bred
We connect
Lingering lung charring paths intersect
Fire bred
We connect

Messengers armored black and blue, sent
Let them deliver hate
Give the pawns power absolute and
A song they all will sing
Sing our red, white, and blue
Dividends and siren tunes
Fire starter
Warming by the side
Body armor
A suit and tie
Day in and out
Combat then interview
Gather in crowds
Groom and recruit
Messengers armored black and blue, sent
Let them deliver hate
Give the pawns power absolute and
A song they all will sing
Sing our red, white, and blue
Dividends and siren tunes
They're sustaining
Functional battlegrounds
Cultivating
Hires for prison cells
A new era
Sanctioning slavery
Maintaining the
American legacy
Messengers armored black and blue, sent
Let them deliver hate
Give the pawns power absolute and
A song they all will sing
Sing our red, white, and blue
Dividends and siren tunes
Holding on
For so long
Our cycles
Must come undone
Untouchable
Have become our cycles
Centuries of burying
Surrendering,
Civil movement, and
Legislation
To body bags

Look in my eyes
It’s time to face the music
Or to let it go
You already know I’ll be there
You sang
The saddest sound
That I will ever know
These other notes
Breaking down from their crescendo
You already know
I’ll be there
We are the ones
Who rise above
It all alone
Alone we go again now (it all, alone)
I, I found the pieces
Of this disposition
Looking in the dark
For all the light could never reach
Like a needle without a thread to seem
So I don’t fall, don’t fall
Fall into the past again
A new way
Show me where to go from here
Gone
Be gone with the old
Show me what’s real
To find the road forward
You know where
You know where
You’ve got to show me how to find the way out
The way out
A new way
Show me where to go from here
Gone
Be gone with the old

Out of place
And mind
A headspace
To hide
Nothing weighs
Or strives
Numb the way
Through time
The escape
From life
Impatient
Goodbyes
Overstays
And lies
Saving face
For pride
Seem to have misplaced
Myself somewhere
I don’t know why
The line has disappeared
I don’t know where
The mind resides
When all the vital signs
We know are clear
Yet everything has gone to pieces
In the departure from my being
Seem to have misplaced
Myself somewhere
Have you found pieces
Rebuild this being
Left inside a vacancy
I can’t refill
And in time they all will see
My shell of being
Seem to have misplaced
Myself somewhere
Have you found pieces
Rebuild this being

Right here, right now
The stranded in time
Fragments of matter aligned
Right here, profound
Functions are combined
Tale of a patchwork of life
Beings of the temporal
unions of the relative functions
Unaware of one another
Following laws physical
Regathering infinitely
So to appear a material world
A material whole
Soloists in alignment unknown, in song
To exist none the wiser, alone
Show like a symphony blindly composed
Behold the contingent realizing the whole
Right here, right now
The stranded in time
Fragments of matter aligned
Right here, profound
Functions are combined
Tale of a patchwork of life
Myopic lives
In a mechanized
System compound
Sounds just like
A world that I might
Happen to know
All too well
Within every fiber of
What we may call the self
The disconnection is
Built into the code
Myopic, mechanized
Is the system inside
Vestiges of a blind,
Unintelligent design

A familiar display
Shadowing over sense of time
Push all wonder away
Unburden from question, your mind
How dangerous we've come to this
They have chosen to deny
How dangerous a complacence
They have chosen to be blind
Willing blind
They’re so pretty and polished
All the prized archetypes, they've kept
And I wonder by the minute
How many lives will be the less
How dangerous we've come to this
They have chosen to deny
How dangerous a complacence
They have chosen to be blind
Willing blind
Life cycles of denial
Life cycles of denial
How dangerous we've come to this
They have chosen to deny
How dangerous a complacence
They have chosen to be blind
Willing blind

"Immortalize our ill repute
With every catastrophe
Descended from bacterium
Driven by enterprising consumption
Justified by any means
And now a file is overdue
For our moral bankruptcy
Sign over every pollutant,
Any dollar or any religion
Maybe we can try again
Are we far removed enough for this
Subject of self reinvention
Are we far removed enough for this
Into the silence
Enter the hopeless
Truths of misguidance
Notions that corrode and yearn
To divide us
Bridges they collapse
The well has dried
Behold, the point of no return
Into deadened silence
Enter sick and hopeless
Truths of misguidance
Notions that corrode and divide us
It is a sign
A hatred collective
Materialized
An archaic message
Immortalized
Immortalize our ill repute
With every catastrophe
Descended from bacterium
Driven by enterprising consumption
Justified by any means
And now a file is overdue
For our moral bankruptcy
Sign over every pollutant,
Any dollar or any religion
Maybe we can try again
Are we far removed enough for this
Subject of self reinvention
Are we far removed enough for this
Into the silence
Enter the hopeless
Truths of misguidance
Notions that corrode and yearn
To divide us
Bridges they collapse
The well has dried
Behold, the point of no return"

Lost in the smoke
And mirror spell
Garnering hope
Artificial
The opulence intoxicating
Eminent the guise they parade
In offering devotion blindly
To transcend the ordinary
Does the crown
Suit them ill?
Or have all reconciled
With their evils
Dug in a hole
Senses forsake
Fooled into gold
One can’t perceive
Coercive eclipsing of the self
The masses delivered the gift
Of unworthiness for their saving
Insuring their obedience
Does the crown
Suit them ill?
Or have all reconciled
With their evils
Flooding out
Had our fill
Can’t we call them for what they’re
The villainous
Of conscience they claim authority
With every confession they take
From burdened minds seeking penance
With every sacrament peddled
To the exploited ignorant
Does the crown
Suit them ill?
Or have all reconciled
With their evils
Flooding out
Had our fill
Can’t we call them for what they’re
The villainous
Been standing still forever
In your fictions, your hell, and heavens

We have come too far for this
Delusions we privilege
Are providing a platform where the uninformed fall prey
Victim to radical ideology
And when blood's shed in the name
No matter how barbaric
They label it relative morality of doctrine
Irreconcilable with human thriving
Tying ancient agendas to doctrines of belief
Reality becomes what they want of it to make
They normalize fantasy for mass digest
They minimize the need for evidence
Winning over hearts, prevent inquiring minds
Human capital that deepens over time
Seems like there’s nothing the matter
Like we don’t even care
We find there’s nothing the matter
When we are unaware
Where is the sequel
To the creed that
You go on about, you go on about
That clearly concedes you
Can take or leave
What you want to follow,
What you want to leave out
Show me where it say s
You don’t have to submit to coexist
When the world sleeps in disaster
Absent, minding their own chapters
When the world sleeps in disaster
As if nothing’s the matter
Seems like there’s nothing the matter
Like we don’t even care
We find there’s nothing the matter
When we are unaware
With an insurance plan in their power to buy
A filter on findings of the secular minds
With offers that cannot be ignored or refused
Neither matched by the bank of integrity’s sake
Monetary threshold of empirical purview
The cycle of suppression of the pursuit of truths
Will determine our existence or ruin

I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too

What a creative and unique EP from David! I love the intricacy and level of detail in the soundscape so much. There's always something for my ear to catch each time I visit this release. This is one of his more underrated releases, in my opinion. Great job, David! :D
