The Inevitable Order 03:10
lyrics
Time to deliver the message Our wasted lives are forever to last We strike the match with a half lit smile Hardly an emotion to trade I’ve got a demon in my head The difference is, he’s always been a part of me No time to spare the world The time for us to excel will be followed by release This is the hand of judgment The global lie will soon be the punishment We have acquired the power among the formerly rancid This is a new, bitter cycle You will kneel in acceptance of your defeat Crawling away No telling the time Traded by plagues No fairness in mind Placing the blame on all of those in charge Hiding forever Moving forward to the final lesson This is the hand of torture The insolence will soon bring a certain death We will remain your fathers Among the timely future You answer straight to us now and remain in the comfort of your disease Stand with your shame, in line and obey. This is not the time to be brave Accept this as your fate and hold tight. Listen.

Shouting Obcenities 04:10
lyrics
There is something I've wanted to believe. My brain prevents action from taking place. This planet has stricken down my soul And its an endless process of violent hatred, misperceptions, and I have long since trusted this is my home. Head in corners unmarked again. I know this patience I possess will forever ease my pain. It wouldn't seem so dark till the end I would shed my skin, but its too late. Too late. Your fucking opinions have driven my hate. So foolish. How could this place of madness ever hold the solace of which I dream? I have ground my heart into dust just to see your side. I'm so sick. So sick. My fate rests in the hands of a spirit no greater than that of an insect, of a rodent, of a loveless, lifeless man. And so shameless yet they stand with their sparkling coin in hand. I've got rocks in my shoes to throw. They will sting just enough to prove my point. May my spirit not be taken away. I've had dreams of my life in destruction. The sight of this has taken hold of me. I've got a million words to break you down, but I am only human. I am not your god of gods, your disciple. I am a psycho crawling into the holes of your mind. I erupt again.

Apprehension 03:27
lyrics
Broken to the soul, it tears finely through the flesh and bone Tortured by the sting, hear the pounding in our head It builds fast off the fear and treats thoughts like home, waiting for the perfect time to strike How could these thoughts manifest Rancid stomach never rests But the worst has yet to show its face Cut me out and make me feel release Silence, never speak Am I blaming myself for all of this stress? Never again. Trials and errors setting me for my defeat and not an ounce of faith. Holding strong through every ounce of patience lost Always remember to breath Untimely, anxious, mental offense Hours have now been wasted again I pace the rooms with speech unknown to feed my soul what it needs to feel whole Inside I know the drill This is noting new Sit, rest your mind Feel the heavy air Watch your blood, It boils Wage peace with yourself Waking the power, never hide

Ascension 03:22
lyrics
Finally I've broken free from lies Disregard my temperament. Its time to claim what's lost. Feeling selflessness, but at what cost. A tortured end. I've led myself to reach the light Who is this inside that breaks me down? The faded soul, the demon on its prowl. Don't you know, I try so hard to be a greater figure, the ultimate dream. Far too long I have fought the current structured flaws. They seem to trail from the broken thoughts designed to fail. I still fear what is left of this endangered mind. Running away from this mess, its just not worth the fight. And I'm longing for the day to break. Its the only comfort I take away from the earth as it pulls me under. My lies will shine, all in this endless fury. What if hate has taken hold of me? Forming lesions, severing the stream. The gifted mind stands a chance, but manages to find hell itself. Wisdom show me how to break this spell. I'm sick and tired. I've given everything, this world is mine.

Gunner 03:40
lyrics
Wait for your enemy to step across the line. Its about that time to release your frustration. The cause and effect of a mind of violence. This breeds a holocaust. No one is safe from loss or torment. Crawl to the faded line, this is your time. Trust no one and follow in no line. The goal is now to be misunderstood. All these blind excuses. You've only truly angered yourself. Taken, you wear a mask preserving all of your defeat. Why entertain the lie you seem to now perceive. There is no grace in your fake action. You've only proven to be another broken fool. Be the master of your own demise You'll never claim the crown. Relevance that you will never find. Progress to justify your waste of life. Your patience is tested among the enterprise. They fed you full of hate and madness. Accept the bitter lie. Let time unwind. Taste your future and deny your pride. I see the wasted time. Torn from all excuses. Well watch you burn along side your fucking hate. Brainwashed, out of line. Break the trance, deny

Thanks:

Danny
First I would like to thank Curtis for writing some sick tunes and providing me with the opportunity to play a role in them. Second, I'd like to thank my number one supporter, my father, Dan Walsted. I'm honored to have what seems like an endless amount of people in my life who support me no matter what the circumstance. So to my best friends in the world, (you know who you are) thank you so much for the relentless effort to make me feel worth the trouble. To my family, thank you so much for keeping me down to earth and of course for the encouragement. These things truly mean more to me than anyone knows. Thank you to all who have made this possible, including the listeners and fans!

Curtis
My father, my mother, Danny for working so hard on these songs and for being such a cool cat, Sam for his endless supply of charisma, Chase for his friendship and dedication, Milky for his amazing detail and flexibility (looks killer!), Spock the dog for being so patient, Shawn for his encouragement and first rate cuts, Randy at the Owl Tap, Crystal, Melissa, Riley, Nolan, Shelby, Romell, Steph, Jayson K., Greg W., Erik B., Joey V., the 660, everyone at the House of Bricks who likes to party, Pepper, Judge, all the people I've met one way or another over the years as a result of loving loud music (there are too many here to name), everyone who checked out our demos early on and suffered through too many really bad mixes, and all of you reading this right now.
