LYRICS

Downtime

Johnny’s in the bedroom

confessing all his crimes

Virgin Mary statue on the wall

only time will tell what he’s left behind

It’s so easy to be this way

and it’s so hard to know what to say when

all the feeling has died away

and you’ve got no more cards left to play

Mother Mary come to me

forgive these sins of mediocrity

and does it mean anything at all

he got her pregnant in a bathroom stall

It’s so easy to be this way

and it’s so hard to know what to say when

all the feeling has died away

and you’ve got no more cards left to play

do you remember how it use to be

before this broken complacency

alone she sits coat hanger smile

withdraw

withdrawal

withdraw

withdrawal

It’s so easy to be this way

and it’s so hard to know what to say when

all the feeling has died away

and you’ve got no more cards left to play

Kontaminate You

inject the hate

inject the fear

another victim

another tear

another dose

before you go

we don’t love anything

that we can’t control

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

we are infectious

we were controlled

we burned the dead just

like we were told

strapped to the bed

damaged alone

the children scream

but will never go home

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

sad swollen faces

bandaged they crawl

highly contagious

blood-born withdrawal

we were exposed

something unknown

alien virus

bio-weapon clone

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

Kontaminate Kontaminate You

We Look Like You

slowly coming into view

we look like

we look like you

our dead machines all systems failed again

(algorithm)

the bloodlines end assembled bio-mechs

(mass-production)

The AI-priests corrupt the Sacred-Files

(desecration)

DCEOs unleashed the dogs of war

(annihilation)

Tsann t’haar zsoh na'hnn vah tsynn vaahl a’hnn

we look like

we look like

we look like you

states of decay create the Download-Mind

(computation)

we spread our will across the multiverse

(assimilation)

when we returned we watched our homeworld burn

(self-destruction)

lost among you strangers in this strange land

(integration)

Tsann t’haar zsoh na'hnn vah tsynn vaahl a’hnn

we are the pain remembered

we are so many copies

we stand in forgotten silence

we look like…we look like you

we look like we look like

we look like you

we look like

we look like

we look like you

end of line end of line end of line end of line
