The Science Says
Key: C Minor (C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C)
Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 110 bpm
I’m told you’re wasting my time
You intend to...
Wasting my, wasting my...
Break away and tell them how you spread your little lies
Disseminate certainty
Locked away; compassion and capacity to sympathize, empathize, simple minds, yeah
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with it all
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with us all
I’m told you’re wasting my time
You intend to...
Wasting my, wasting my...
Locked away, you hide the answers to your little lies
Perpetuate atrophy
Break away and separate yourself from fossilized, ossified, dirty minds, yeah
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with it all
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with us all
Primeval animals
Let it go
We’re drowning
Left broken
How do you sleep?
Oh, you’re waiting on your own
For your, for your piece
You’re waiting on your own
Its old, its old, its old, this fucking noise
Denounce your little lies (x4)
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with it all
We all know the science says there’s something wrong with us all
The science says (x3)
Oblivion
Key: G Phrygian (G, Ab, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G)
Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 98 bpm
You know I cannot, you know I never will (x4)
That’s no way to be kind
Deny you in your mind
To love and to hope and conceive what I can never find
You know today I want to fall
You know a way I’ll never know
You’re not like the others ‘cuz you’ll die to bring me down
To bring me down (x2)
This is an awakening of the mind
A metamorphosis I surmise
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and I...
And if I were to be much more than what you see?
A lover, a saviour, a hero in a time of need?
Would you and I go toe to toe, or would you rest and let me go?
Escaping oblivion
With your hands you hold me down
You hold me down (x4)
This is an awakening of the mind
A metamorphosis I surmise
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and I...
You get it
I want it
I’ve been deceived and you flaunt it
You think that I’ll never hold on to me
It’s always the same shit
I’m tired of the indifference
Encouraged as I escape oblivion
Go on, you can lead yourself right out (x2)
Right on outta here
Don’t wait (for me)
I can see you’re wrong
Always you keep pressure on me
Don’t wait (for me)
I can see your time has come
Just wait you’ll see that you’re wrong
You know I cannot, you know I never will
You know I, you know I, you know I, you know... (x4)
Never alone (x3)
There’s no way I can let this go
You get it
I want it
I’ve been deceived and you flaunt it
You think that I’ll never hold on to me
It’s always the same shit
I’m tired of the indifference
Encouraged as I escape oblivion
This is an awakening of the mind (x3)
It’s a metamorphosis I surmise
This is an awakening of the mind (x3)
It’s a metamorphosis I surmise
The Silence
Key: G Minor (G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G)
Time Signature: 5/4
Tempo: 124 bpm
We refuel the fire
Forcing us to breath in
Always try to fly by
Dimming down the bright eyes
And it’s all I wanted
Fusion over innocence
Idolize the high life
Beating down the bright eyes
Loosing sense, annihilate (2)
We live through what left my heart open
Like a presence missing in the silence
Beating this in your way
Beating this, annihilate
Beating this if only I’d seen the signs defining
Loosing sense, annihilate (x2)
You deface your hour (x2)
We refuel the fire
Forcing us to breath in
Always try to fly by
Dimming down the bright eyes
Loosing sense, annihilate (x2)
We endure through what’s left unspoken
As our future’s lost within the silence
Beating this in your way
Beating this, annihilate
Beating this if only I’d seen the signs defining
You’re waiting to find it’s the same
And I know way, know way down that I decide always
Beating this in your way
Beating this, annihilate
Beating this if only I’d seen the signs defining, ohh
You deface your hour (x2)
Loosing sense, annihilate (x2)
Panacea
Key: C Phrygian (C, Db, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C)
Time signature: 5/4 and 4/4
Tempo: 115 bpm
You wait, it’ll come back around (x2)
They wait. You wait. They wait, and I wait for this cure
But will we ever find an urn for your hunger?
Insatiable
Let us go
In your eyes; annihilation
Don’t let it out (x4)
Pursuing panacea
Don’t let it out (x4)
You’ll miss
You’ll mourn
You’ll cry in sorrow
Deceive your faith and mind your hunger
Fight your inner demons under fearful supervision, admonition and finally see...
Me and you, once, were only star dust
And you’d kill us all on fucking little lies, on multifarious eyes, on melanin
Demand compliance
Don’t let it out (x8)
We, the primates of fire, we forfeit it all
We’re scared and afraid of the unknown
And do you not see its deep down inside?
Inside of us all it’s waiting to fly
The violence innate
The violence in mind
The violence alone
The violence inside
The violence waits
The violence lies
The violence (x3)
And we own our way
All life, you decide
We have no other way
I bleed in my arms
I wait for the end
I wait for the cure
Reflect inside
I guess I’ve known
That we are the ones
The ones who must show
Breeding this way
Bleeding us all
Just once in our lives I’d like you to know
To finally cheat our end
But deep down inside it’s waiting to breed
The violence
Do we not sense the violence? (x3)
Believe it
The violence innate
The violence in mind
The violence alone
The violence inside
The violence waits
The violence lies
The violence, the violence, the violence that breeds
The violence (x7)
The violence that breeds
