Machines 03:59
Not far from mechanical creation. The key it lies, in momentary reasoning. (Reversed lyrics) Too clear to hear the end. Coming off to lend. Shade the time well spent. It becomes clear, becomes clear. Torture through the fast. Remember fight comes last. Murder this to craft. ‘Cause we’re machines, machines yeah.
2.
What do you think I mean? I am not obscene. Tell me what to think. Tell me what you think. What do you want me to say? I've made a grave mistake. I am not ready to give what you ask of me.
3.
So you think in what is not, ‘Cause your side is all you’ve got. When the storm hits, what can you do? Suddenly it all comes true. But we knew we had time. To arrange what is all mine. All yours, you can’t define, define. Fools Now we’re stuck with rise, And I can’t see with my eyes. Oh help us or die. Or die, we can’t let you win this one. We can’t let you win this one. Whoa whoa whoa, oh shit! We can’t let you win this one. We can’t let you win this one, whoa. Deranged is no proof, but a home with a roof. Your life can move on with no truth. But how can you sleep? When the world only weeps, World only weeps while you’re warm. Oh yeah, cool, cool we stay. If I had a dime for all of the lies, All of the lies, I would shine. The ice melts all gone! We won’t be long. We won’t be long, so long. Oh yeah, cool cool. We stay, fools fools fools.

On The Moon 03:54
I don’t want to be Part of this anymore. I don’t want to feel the world Around me as it falls. What are you doing on the moon? The space surrounding you consumes. Happiness is just a feeling. We’re puppets hanging from the ceiling. How strange is it to be Born into a set of rules Designed to sheppard the people? The blind following the fools. What are you doing on the moon? The space surrounding you consumes. Happiness is just a feeling, We're puppets hanging from the ceiling. What are you doing on the moon? The space surrounding you consumes. Happiness is just a feeling, We're puppets hanging from the ceiling.

Life 03:08
Momentary frames by frame. Left behind from what can spin. Someone explain what is happening. Experience what might be real. Thoughts, emotions, senses, feel. All connected by this state reveals. Yeah! Questions that we seek my friend. Answers come within our end. This world could all be inside of our heads. Sight degraded full of grey. Boundaries lost in slow decay. Time could end on any given day. Yeah!

Camarón que se duerme. Se lo lleva la corriente. No veo nada, que tu dices. No veo nada. No supporto el calor. Malparido con nuestra amor. No veo nada, que tu dices. No veo nada. No veo nada, que tu dices. No veo nada.

Take My Hand 03:19
I said to you Your life has been a ruse. Your mind's been bought and sold. Left out and getting old. Oooohhhhh I said I wont Fight against a ghost. So I left it all alone. I left it all alone. Take my hand, I'll help you understand Your betting on a wishing well, Well I hope it serves you well. And how could I see, The truth was haunting me. So I'll take control Of everything I see. OOooohhh Take my hand, I'll help you understand Your betting on a wishing well, Well I hope it serves you well.

Ignorance 04:49
I need to leave myself. Wander off with no one else. Change comes slowly, But you find out in an instant. Things won't ever be the same. Your thoughts don't make sense, When you toss out your innocence, And the world doesn't make sense When you toss out your innocence. oohhh Trapped in another dimension. I'm going two directions. Your thoughts don't make sense, No they contradict and cancel out, 'till you find out you're left with nothing. Your thoughts don't make sense, When you toss out your innocence, And the world doesn't make sense When you toss out your innocence. oooooohh You don't know What I've been though. You don't know What I've been through.

Seamless 02:18
Seamlessly Slipping through the cracks. Why would they even want me Back and fort It seems that I am not. In as much control as I Thought. Left behind Alone in outer space. I don't even like the human race For now I think I’ll let it go. What do you think you really Know. Oh no
10.
The sun comes out when rain should stay. And a breath keeps hold of us, of us. If I’d known, I’d try to save him. Could I know, if he has forgave me? The lungs fill with water, water. If I can’t breathe longer, longer. Bright light whisper to me. Smile in the sky and I cry out. Why? Why, no.
11.
Clearly I'm not right. I've stayed up half the night on melancholy clouds Slipping in and out. And my heart is running on empty. Clearly something's wrong. A developmental (developed mental) flaw 'cause half the town believes, That money comes from trees. ‘Cause their heads are running on empty. Their heads are running on empty. I can't explain to them what’s going on. They're so afraid of it they tag along. Throw us out but hold us dear. Don't you know the end is near 'cause life is short but time is long. I'm stuck where I do not belong. (We’re walking in blindness Seemingly mindless Let them confine us) Contagious disease, In a monetary breeze. And when you breathe it in Your innocence looks grim. This town is running on empty. This town is running on empty. (I don't know what the fuck is going on) Throw us out but hold us dear, don’t you know the end is near, 'cause life is short but time is long, I'm stuck where I do not belong (We’re walking in blindness Seemingly mindless Let them confine us)
12.
What came before could come again. Driving lost from consciousness. Crossed religion beneath soft skin. Eating what’s right, condensing oxygen. (Reversed lyrics) Prove me wrong ‘cause I’ve sinned. Guess we’re all not in shit. Scared to be across planes we know. Anxiously producing structures to default. Prove me wrong ‘cause I’ve sinned Guess we’re all not in shit. Time is short, time is long for now. Can’t grasp that, that grasp can’t hold on me. Time is lost, time is found for now. That is fact, fact is that you don’t know. You don’t know.

Leaves 01:38
Stroll all along, And divide the place that you call home. Forming a view that belongs. Shaping all known. Brown leaves move still, As the shoes so light, Move without will. Shadows take on what they fill. Ahead on the bill. Then I call on to get you. How have you came all the way through?

Caveman 04:35
Chain me now, I am started to See the ground Collapsing under my feet. I confess I’m safe inside my head. Cavemen still Inhabit this Earth that I Find myself in. I confess I’m safe inside my head. I believe I’m safe inside my tree. Cavemen still Inhabit this Earth that...
15.
Sidewalk 04:32
I don’t get a break. From all the people I hate. Couldn’t you agree, this life is filled with greed. All the world is fake, And all the lies that we say. Couldn’t you agree, this life is filled with greed. Nonsense to get cents from us. Shake us fuck me till we’re senseless. Anything can change if we just, Inspire all the masses to change who we trust. In god we trust. In god we lust. In god trust.

about

"Alienation represents the experiences and perspective we share collectively as a group on today's society and the people we interact with." The album was self-recorded and mixed over the last four years, and some of the songs were written as far back as 2011 meaning the effort represents a wide swath of the band's development as songwriters. Noise Miami handled the mastering, and the band tapped Yahli Ilan to create the artwork.
