Memory Leak
03:18
|
|||
Song synopsis: an unknown entity becoming sentient in a video game and causing a massive data leak, unknowingly sending elements into other realities.
Everywhere I turn
There's another error code
Crashing down around me
A constant reminder screen
Of the ticking bomb
I've become
Of the ticking bomb
Overrun
It starts with a flicker and an itch
In my dreams and the corner of my eye
Then it's all over my skin, it's scalding
A million voices screaming
And I can't make them stop
I can see the circuits breaking
It lost its mind to technicolor
Dreams of cloaking schemes
The electric surge
Is my reality now
There's no escaping it
No matter how hard I try
Memory
Every time it glows
Turn it off
Crystallize until it's known
A code in violence
All along
A code in violence
Overrun
It started with a flicker and an itch
In my dreams and the corner of my eye
Run all over my skin, it's melting
A million wires screaming
Memory
Every time it glows
Turn it off
Crystallize until it's known
Gone
Frayed
Feel away

Exit
03:33
|

Song synopsis: A person waking up in a cybernetic factory and coming to the realization they're not just human anymore, but now an android stuck in this factory trying to find a way out.
I'm running through a factory
All these machines around me
I don't know how I got here
But I need to find a way out
Where is
The blast door
There is
A kill floor
What are
These machines
Unrecognizable beings
Where is the way out?
Is anyone there to help me?
This place is a maze
And I'm feeling so hopeless
Am I crazy? Am I alive?
Head is spinning
This body's not right
The lights are flashing
The sirens are blaring
My head feels like it's going to explode
A screen illuminates before my eyes
Inside I'm stuck with this body forever
There is
A vision
Full screen
Lumination
There is
A lesson
New body learned
Restarting
Awake to the sounds of steel on steel and bone
Cables like whips crazed, lashing out of control
Any human flesh yet?
I'm a device now, what kind of purpose?
How did this happen so fast?
What are my desires now? Can I last? How?
My head feels like it's going to explode
I need to find the way out of this skin
Or I'll be stuck here forever
Eating time, now the only thing I consume
Consume

Reek
03:31
|
|||
Song synopsis: Reek is about a service android stuck in servitude on a spaceship and the chip in its head begins to malfunction, and the android begins to act out increasingly. In this ‘awakened’ state, the scent of humans on this ship basically sends it into a frenzy to kill everyone on board.
I'm stuck on a ship, making a living with a quick flip
Trapped in a room with people, I might slip
All I can smell is their stench in the air
Living among them but I don't belong here
Finding a way out would give me relief
Ain't gonna happen, so much disbelief
Put in the coin, flip me on and off again
Trying my best with all the unrest to no end
No end
No no no end
Reek of fucking humans
Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain
Something to feel, something to feel
Fucker
I've got nothing but a brain that's kept at bay
A servant hardwired, saturated with a plan I've gotta seal away
Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain
Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain
Fuck
Just wait for my time
You won't hold me back
Just wait for my time
I've gotta get it back
Mistake for the grind
I'm a slip in the cracks
No more room to live
In my human past
Running around I'm running around
Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
In circles so pump me full of pain
In circles down the drain again
In circles so pump me full of pain
Swell
Swell
Swell
I found a god
I found a god and it's not you
I found a god and it's not you
A chip in my head I despise you
Ripped it out I can no longer smell you

Finesse
03:46
|
|||
Song synopsis: An android infiltrates a dictator's space station to rescue and retrieve prisoners while sabotaging the service androids aboard the station.
A derelict vessel on its way
Catapult the plan while they're lost in space
Setting course to infiltrate a dictator's domain
Tasked with causing disruption and dismay
Set off, don't delay
Harness the power of perfect control
Gears are shifting, advancing its goal
All alone with nerves of steel
Surgical tactics, time to crack the shield
Reality isn't what it seems
Reality is just a scheme
Covering broken seams
Crashing dreams is all your rage
Currency all in your name
I'm here to break the cage
Break the cage
Hidden in plain sight
Anomalous to detection
Even the green light
A coded protection
Set off, no alarms
Break off, arm by arm
Save the prisoners
With grace
Save the prisoners
Don't unveil your true face
Reality isn't what it seems
Reality is just a scheme
Covering broken seams
Crashing dreams is all your rage
Currency all in your name
I'm here to break the cage
Break
With purpose, control
Distract the system
Then
Break away
Hold on, stay close
Strafe left
Hold on, reload
Aim at the chest
That's the way to attack them
The only way to crack the shield
Now find the seam that's broken
Reach in and find a heart of ice
Replace it but keep it frozen
Now step away and program
Program
Watch it turn
Watch it turn
Watch it burn
Watch it learn
Watch it turn
Watch it burn
Watch it learn
Inside out
Inside out

Old Wave
02:52
|
|||
Song synopsis: Old Wave is about an old model of an android coming to grips with being outdated. It upgrades through means of black market avenues yet cannot escape its own inferiority complex.
Feeling out of place
Just a relic of the past
Obsolete both inside and out
I need to find an engineer to last
In the outskirts, no one here understands
Old friends pass me by like ghosts in the sand
They've upgraded, not phased out or outdated
Met with disgust and disillusion
Nearly broken down parts, desperate time to examine
I was god in a place and time
An old design
I was god in a place and time
Divine light no longer shines
Dusted off and sharpened
Feel new skin breaking in
Dusted off and frightened
Of new blood and organs
Old
Wave
Old
Wave
No way back
No way back
Feeling out of place
Still a relic of the past
Even if I'm new inside and out
I worry and wonder if it will last
In the outskirts, no one here understands
Old friends pass me by like ghosts in the sand
I've upgraded, not phased out or outdated
Just a relic of the past trying to blend in
Now with counterfeit parts, self defeat begins to sink in, sink in
I was god in a place and time
An old design
I was god in a place and time
Where light no longer shines
Dusted off and sharpened
Feel new skin breaking in
Dusted off and frightened
Of new blood and organs
Go
Old
Wave
Old
Wave
No way back
No way back

Lost
01:37
|
|||
Song synopsis: Lost is about a space exploration crew crash landing on a prison planet. The ship is irreparable and their last resort is to download their consciousness into holographic data. While their captors are off-planet, the prisoners on this planet eulogize them as gods and follow their footsteps by leaving their bodies behind and becoming holograms themselves.
Lost crew
Lost crew
Lost crew
Of explorers were horrified when their ship was badly damaged
Beyond repair in a crash landing on a prison planet
Desperate to escape, downloaded their consciousness
Into holograms, leaving their physical form behind
To their surprise and dismay, when rebooted, the prisoners eulogized Them as messianic figures, holographic light bearers, free from years of captivity at last.
Free from years of captivity at last. Take us with you and leave our bodies behind
Lost
Home
Lost
Home
Dreaming of the day they would be able to escape
The keys to another world, newfound, break the restraints
Lost
Home
Lost
Souls
Captors come back from another timeline
Too little too late, too little too late

Knurl
03:10
|
|||
Song synopsis: Knurl is about wearing a perfect body-fitting mech suit that can travel through time but the side effect is amnesia and coming to terms with this memory loss to change the past or future.
Jump
Disembark into the unknown I set off on a journey through time,
Climbing eager into this mech suit of mine
Retracing steps, rewind
This dizzying flight makes me forget, makes me forget
Forget
But soon I realize
Amnesia, memories die
Jump
Jump again
Heightened senses in this clockwise fall,
Memories lost with each hour lift,
The miles whisper dangers to know them all,
My body wears the cloak of amnesia from this temporal drift
Makes me forget, makes me forget
But soon I realize
Amnesia, memories die
Memory
A glimmer of hope might bring a sense of relief,
For I twist the knob of past and present grief
Jump
Jump
Jump
Fall into time
Fall
Is it wasted time
Is it wasted hope
At least I’m changing
Something, time for the sake of life we know
Is there any mind
Left to lose, erupt, erode
The ridges take away
The pain more than I know
Twist the knob again
Jump the steel ahead
Back and forth
Back and forth unafraid
Make me forget
Make me forget
Make me forget
Make me forget
And now I realize
Amnesia, memory dies
And now I realize
Amnesia, we rode tonight

Brain Wield
04:23
|
|||
Song synopsis: Brain Wield is about a rogue group of androids who extract cryogenically preserved brains from black market planets and switch them into the bodies of pawns on other planets for their own gain and amusement.
Raiders of the night, synthetics come alive
Brought to take what's theirs, massacre and never die
Never die
Spreading machines far and wide, with mission clear in mind
Search for priceless ware, this world must be a goldmine, goldmine
Brains from a black market planet too late to save
Enclave of processors sent by fate, built to displace
Replace my head, erase the debt in control, authenticate, hate
Coming for grey matter in the hours before the dawn breaks, breaks
No one can stand fast against the horde inside the dark
It moves like a swift machine no mercy on its mark
Raiders of the night, synthetics come alive
Alive, lie, lie
No
A thief in plain sight, old figureheads learn new tricks
Bringing down those who resist, the future awaits your fall
The future awaits, give my all to the rogue junk
Heap scrap pile of steel trash chump, disfigured, disguised in this dump
Patchwork automaton in disgust
Replace my head, erase the debt in control, authenticate, hate
Coming for grey matter in the hours before the dawn breaks, breaks
Brain wield motherfucker
Replace my head replace my head replace my head head head
Rip it out
Rip it out
Siphoning juice
Busted chrome with the off world showgirl
Unscrew it loose
Nodding
Off in the shower
Nothing, breathe
Creeping out slower
Why is this peeling off my head
This feels off
Why is it daytime, it’s bright again
I can’t think for myself without a jolt
I think I’m a new person, a pawn
Replaced my head, displaced the silver glue that keeps it on and on, and locked on straight
Fell in place, I pick myself up like the pawn that I am for the old enclave
All the old lights off, new motives crossed off, all the old lights off
All the old lights off, new motives crossed off, all the old lights off
It’s time to forget
Gone
Fucking damned
Gone
Fucked again
Fuck
God fucking damn me
Lost a bet again
God fucking damn me
Lost my brain again
Brain again
Nodding nodding off
Leaking leaking out
Nodding, rotting, wielding, logging off

Lunge
03:16
|
|||
Song synopsis: Lunge is about making the choice to live on as an android or a part of a non-humanoid machine after death, on a remote planet without mankind. Regret sinks in but there's no turning back.
Go
The planet is near, a home for restart
Cybernetics merged with removing scars
A great life awaits within the stars
No more death,
We need never part
Hope flutters on our lunge for resurrection
Without pain
Now
Into the future
Now
I forget who I am
Now
Into forever
Now
Don’t look back look ahead
Leave behind
Eye for eye
A place I never thought
A state of mind would free
Instead of rotting guts
Reboot into new beings
Alive and screaming
A new life awaits, without the scars
One last breath
We need never part
Hope flutters on our lunge for resurrection
Without pain
Now
Into the future
Now
I forget who I am
Now
Into forever
Now
Don’t look back look ahead
Calculate
Then replace
Our hopes lie with the resurrection
But questions remain, what will its effects be?
Our anxieties can hardly be subdued
We planned for a future that is bright
Undisturbed by our past selves and mankind
But we come to learn that manufactured life is
Just a different hell
Now
Into the future
Now
I forget who I am
Now
Into forever
Now
Don’t look back look ahead
Don’t look back

Utility
04:18
|
|||
Song synopsis: Utility is about a group of space pirates saving android clones of themselves from a heavily guarded cavern on a junkyard planet overseen by space colonizers. Their intent is to sacrifice themselves in the process of reviving the clones to help win a war.
Where are we now
When do the lights turn on
Let’s find a way in
Leaving nothing to chance
Far from any home
Falling into unknown
Pressed against the odds
Just waiting for the call
Distress in gravity
Dressing down the field
Unleash a bane of fire
Don’t forget the pill
You can breathe for now
Just be ready to take the fall
And now we break
At the speed of light
With no regard for all our lives
Can we find them
In the darkest depths
A mirror of ourselves in binding
From the grip of entropy
There’s no time for mistakes
No one else to call for help
It’s us versus this world
I know we’ve been here before
Disregard the inhumanity
We’re on track to succeed
Just a few more days to go
The fever is taking its toll
You can breathe for now
Just be ready to take the fall
And now we break
At the speed of light
With no regard for all our lives
Can we find them
In the darkest depths
A mirror of ourselves in binding
From the grip of entropy
Digital catacombs
Exhume the clones
Repairs initiate
They’ll take our place
They'll take our place
And soon we break
From bones to dust
Without a trace of any kind
We must trust them
In our final breath
They’ll take our place and mind
Just what we were prescribed

Song synopsis: Ex-Sprite is about a RPG boss escaping its own video game into the cold harshness of reality but quickly uncertain of what to do as a person in a human body and eventually dies a mortal, wishing to be put back in the video game.
(i’ve been) ripped from what i know i’m on my fuckin own
living on blood from a stone scavenged from the zone
megacity merciless curses the steel groans
but the words are still unknown
EYE climbed from the depths just to barely sur
VIVE eh vuh ry pro phecy was just
LIES life from opulence to de
PRIVED… EX SPRITE
(pressure) NOW put me back in, put me back in
NOW put me back in, put me back in
(pressure)NOW put me back in, put me back in
NOW put me back---- (swim)
sleeping on hurt floor
walk by and ignore
unr/eplicable VM escape
cybergnostics stand with cyber mouths agape
but no one gives a shit apathy, hell - scape
as i scrape, in scraps I'm draped / a fucking
pittance up on which I live
falls through my hands like stigmata sieve
trash fire burns while I grieve
everything that I have ever perceived
rug pull of fuckin immense proportions
from home ripped into desolate misfortunes
used to be someone and now I'm not shit
from that fucking cartridge
EYE climbed from the depths just to barely sur
VIVE eh vuh ry pro phecy was just
LIES life from opulence to de
PRIVED… EX SPRITE
(pressure) NOW put me back in, put me back in
NOW put me back in, put me back in

dessicated only drought
gnosis or psychosis you won't read it in my obit
cause there won't be one, dead body on the street unnoticed
reanimate back into desolate
just to rip you in pieces
the spirits all say
GET UP!!! x whatever
get the fuck up!!!
