Loose Thread In The Head
00:10
|

|
I am made of wires.
Loose ends won’t connect.

Tony:
Passion runs dry.
Resort to alienation.
Your time is over.
Insist you’re truer than the rest.
Ryan:
Sincerity at an all time low.
Jaded to keep yourself secure.
Relevancy has expired.
As if that’s not what ruined it all.

Stimulant Euphoria
00:26
|
|||
|
My body is not a temple.
It’s a testing ground for the brain.
As my vessel begins to lapse, the mind can still stretch many ways.
|

|
Tony & Ryan:
Out of touch, old fuck
Bitter, jaded
Gripping things have changed
In denial that it’s the same sound with just new blood
Out of touch, old fuck.

A Tapped Mind
00:19
|
|||
|
Bugged from the inside
Feeding Information
To the enemy within
|

|
You go by many different names.
Abuser, cheater, deceiver, liar.
I call you father, I call you father.
|

7. |

|
The calls pour in before the tears are dry.
The body’s still warm.
We work hard to secure our loved ones after we’re gone.
Yet I can’t help but be horrified.
At the end of our existence we are still defined by dollars.

Shepard Of Deceit
00:42
|
|||
|
You’d gladly nail yourself to that cross
As long as you hung above us all like any false messiah.
Pushing the Church’s crusade of hate.
Your words of conviction only signal division and war.
|

Manic Panic
00:31
|
|||
|
Tony:
My brain’s under attack
Anxiety creeping up every inch of my skin
Every nerve inside of me
Explodes into complete paranoia
The mind’s defense system fails and goes into shock.
Mania begins to consume me
Stomach in knots, nausea ensues
Ryan:
Stress lurks in my head
Tensions build until I fall apart
Stomach in knots, nausea ensues
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
Your complacency has warped you.
To the point where you condemn those who have opinions.
Cringe as others display empathy.
You wish they’d stay silent.
So you wouldn’t have to think.
Compassion drains you.
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
Neither of us recognize each other when the words are said and done.
We insist on this charade, we can’t stand to be alone.
Fear of Solitude only pushes others away.

Shoegaze overdosing on meth and caffeine pills. Every release on Cloudrat's discography is a different flavor of insanity. This one is rocky road with a twist of antifreeze.
