Christopher Lloyd & The Flux Capacitor (free) 03:19
lyrics

Gone, his pen tears paper, just one more calculation. One more note, so close. Drowning in his own intellect. This is all-important. This is all consuming. Sacrifice carves his path to heaven above. The ends will justify the means. Soon we will all play god. Soon we will reach our pique. He wants to be the catalyst, the spark of new evolution. There is no margin for error. Failure is not one of our options. This will be our pinnacle, his only rest will come from his imminent destruction. Choked to the last breath by the weight of his dreams, he holds the hammer that delivers the final nail in his coffin.

I Fell Off Of My Horse, So, To Remedy The Situation, I Kicked It In The Face. (How I Trumped Super-Man) (free) 02:36
lyrics

Its a far fall from that perch back to this reality. Forced to evaluate the sincerity of the words that you claim to live by. Are they true? Inherit your inheritance show your strength or you vice. This is an oppurtunity to draw the line. Molt, give us all or nothing. Earn the beat in your chest, if you still hear it all. If you still hear it all, take one last breath: Rise or fall. What is the weight of your heart? Inside, do you know who you really are? Does the mirror reflect someone that you recognize? In this epiphany, can you find what you wish to achieve? When everything falls apart, will you find the strength that you need to stand up? Some say that we are only as strong as our convictions, that we are defined within the virtue of our action. If we can’t hold true to ourselves, how can we help anybody else? If we can’t save ourselves, how will we save anyone? Pick yourself up off the bottom, show that there is still some life in you yet.

Sometimes I Get This Sudden Urge To Take Over Large Parts Of Europe. (free) 02:50
lyrics

You smile wide, with teeth bright; the flawless spawn of Zeus and Jessica Simpson. You can’t be taught charm like this. Every word delivered with such absolution. Those dazzling looks and lovable personality are a match made in heaven. They just crumble for that twinkle in your eye. Is the mirror that gorgeous or is it just you? That's right, smile killer, another trophy for the shelf, another check off your list. Take ‘er out, sharpshooter. You’ve mastered the game. They come out of the wood-work just to glance at you. Say it, say what every smirk screams. “I am the greatest man to ever grace this Earth. I’ll strip your dignity of everything its worth. I am the greatest man to ever grace this Earth and I’m much too good-looking for the likes of you.” I know, you’re not cocky, you’re just destined to be better. But this is your downfall Ceaser. This is your last ride and you know it.

Computer Chip In Brain (free) 02:57
lyrics

This tapestry is shorn and ragged, a monument to man’s unraveling. He built this cage to fight off nature, it’s structure fell, supports came crashing down. Manipulated through a process of fracturing and etching away the shell that held this wreck together. Choke your tye and iron your suit. Take time to craft each word. Make sure your handshake is firm. Grin and bare it. Wrestling with a voice or an impulse to strong to hide. Pull your hair, rub your eyes, scratch an itch until you are inside. The ebb and flow of monotony corrodes the anchor of his sanity. He swallows breath and closes eyes attempting to hold on to his identity. They must never know what lies beyond this pillar of human nature. Claw your way onto a path that follows your aspirations. Take a breath, close your eyes and find yourself, it’s not over. Cut your strings, your not anyone’s to control anymore. Take a breath close your eyes and walk away, it’s not over. Cut your strings, you’re not anyone’s to control anymore. (Sink…swim, breathe in.) DROP YOUR CRUTCH, STAND UP, FIND YOUR HEART, FIGHT FOR IT. Sink…swim, breathe in.

Sweet Ink, Brah. (free) 02:14
lyrics
download
You build your throne upon the weight of your image, perpetuated by violence and lies. You’ve lost all sense of why this started, of what brought you here in the first place. You’ve pulled the wool over their eyes, peel off your mask, WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU. You use the people you claim to stand by and forget all the rest. YOU SAY LOYALTY is all that you believe in, well you could have fooled us. You’d trade the strength of your word to strengthen your ego. Is it worth it? How does it feel to have all of the redeeming qualities of a department store mannequin? How does it feel to be rid of your worth? You’ve done this all to yourself. A uniform of guilt and pride to hide your fear and uncertainty, to sacrifice yourself and any form of identity. Tonight, we’re taking it back for all of the kids that we once were. Your way of life is just fashion.
