The Cause 02:27
And so it begins, This machine of hate, Prolonging this sense, Of our impending fate, And so it begins, This final notion, Before we see an end, One healing potion, And so it has begun, And now we'll see, Just how it is, And what we could be,

Unified 03:01
Pissing around with your arrogance, Took us deeper down the hole, Playing God on your flock of sheep, Is how you've gained control, Please excuse this question, But be truthful when i say; Was this your idea of perfect, Or was it some other way? Unified by our hatred, Unified by our greed, Unified by our differences, Unity is what we need, You take it all and we ponder, You take it all and we pray, Separated by our differences, But as one we fight another day, Are you the one thats playing king, Or really the one thats playing clown? It's about time you stepped off your thrown, And gave us your crown, Unified by our hatred, Unified by our greed, Unified by our differences, Unity is what we need, Unified for a purpose, Unified by our dreams, Unified for a brotherhood, Unified against this regime,

Love always felt so unreal, ever since i was young, It's like a song that was left unsung, They call Paris the city of love, I never thought it was true, But that day in Paris i met you, Changed it all, You changed it all, Under Parisian stars, We were trying to find that smart car, What makes you so special? Well i don't know, But you just are, Now every time i'm with you, The pieces fall into place, And I ascend into some sort of grace, Sometimes when things go astray, They work out for the best in the end, I'm sure you'll see, 'Cos we were meant to be, You changed it all, You changed it all, Under Parisian stars, We were trying to find that smart car, What makes you so special? Well i don't know, But you just are, You changed it all, (You changed it all) Under Parisian stars, (You changed it all) We were trying to find that smart car, (You changed it all) What makes you so special? (You changed it all) Well i don't know, But you just are,

Rotten 04:54
I'll read your pages, I'll take it all in, But this desire, Burns under my skin, I pray on my knees, Every single day, I wanna tell you things, No one should ever say, I need you all the time, (I'm so rotten) Turning water into wine, (I'm so rotten) I bow to God, Up in the sky, But you turn me on, Oh! My-oh-my, Maybe just one taste, Maybe just one kiss, Mixing Jesus Christ, With euphoric bliss, I need you all the time, (I'm so rotten) Turning water into wine, (I'm so rotten) My God pulls me in, My God takes me into her skin, My God is so pure, My God sees what I endure, Sometimes it's hard, To draw the line, Between what perverts me, And what is divine, I need you all the time, (I'm so rotten) Turning water into wine, (I'm so rotten)

I thought we did okay, But now it's gone astray, We really don't care, That it was not fair, It's really not aggression, It's our little imperfection, I have to say goodbye, I feel like i could-, It's really not aggression, It's our little imperfection, I wish that i could stay, But i am starting to fade away, It's really not aggression, It's our little imperfection, I wish that i could stay, But i am starting to fade away,

Misdirection 04:13
It's in sequence, Please excuse our arrogance, And our tiny little minds, Forgive this misunderstanding, If you would be so kind, I cant help but seem dissapointed, With this misdirection we've adopted, If only we could start again, Our colours may shine through, But then again, Please excuse our arrogance, And our tiny little minds, Forgive this misunderstanding, If you would be so kind, Who really gives a fuck anyway? All these sheep and all they hold dear, Allowing poisoned breath to enter them, Content to live their dictated lives in fear, Please excuse our arrogance, And our tiny little minds, Forgive this misunderstanding, If you would be so kind, Take a last look around, Before you're cut down to size, They spoon-fed you the answers, They were all lies, And why you believed them, I wont compromise, Now step up to the podium, And claim your prize, This trophy of kudos for your blame, This accusation of cheating your own game, Now this is my water on your flame, And this is my hatred to your claim, Please excuse our arrogance, And our tiny little minds, Forgive this misunderstanding, If you would be so kind, It's in sequence,

Like a flower, I stand paralysed, Unable to focus my eyes, My powerless limbs, I reach up to my face, Stone cold, So very cold, The sky is blood red, The sea a fungal green, The trees torn down around me, The last animals scurry for deawook, For safety, The haze closing in around me, Closer, Closer, Darkness, Choking my very bones, The three triangular lights, The hiss of satisfied gears, The light burning in my retinas, The pain echoing through my skull, The blistering numbness of my body failed to respond, Brainwashed by the agonising halo of light before me, Not the first time, Why did it have to come to this, We knew all along, How arrogant we are, The sands that had been burying our heads all the while, They had been suffocating us, Perhaps they knew? We can blame the leaders, We can blame the churches, We can even blame our brothers, But it was us, Each and every fucking one of us, There is no running now, There is no turning back, no time to redeem ourselves, We've had our second chance, And look how that went, We can only learn now, Learn from our mistakes, To now embrace this fate, Our destiny, Atrophy, Crying, I reach to the one next to me, The one, The only one, I reach for the hand, In this numbness, I can feel the ashes on the skin, Course against my bloody fingers, A tear, Oh the haze! Face - ah! facing deep into the light, I wonder, Given another chance, maybe just maybe, We-,

Release 04:01
One day it will end, This machine of hate, One day we'll meet, Our impending fate, So release me, Release me, Before we see are claimed, By our own undertow, One day it will end, This machine of hate, One day we'll meet, Our impending fate, So release me, Release me, Before we see are claimed, By our own undertow, So release me, Release me, Before we see are claimed, By our own undertow, Separated by our hatred, Separated by our greed, Separated by our differences, Separated by who leads, Separated by our purpose, Separated by our dreams, Separated by our brotherhood, Unity is what we need,

Speeding up, Slowing down, Help me get my feet, Back on the ground, Bright light, Seeps into my brain, Now nothing ever, Feels the same, The uncertainty, It's not like it used to be, Now you'll see, I gotta get back to reality, Everything's out of place, Nothing's as it seems, I'm not sure what's real, And what is a dream, The uncertainty, It's not like it used to be, Now you'll see, I gotta get back to reality, The uncertainty, It's not like it used to be, Now you'll see, I gotta get back to reality, The uncertaintly, It's not like it used to be, And now you'll be, Fading out of reality,

about

Atrophy is a concept album wherein each song is from a different person's perspective of the gradual 'atrophy' of the human race. It is a focus on all the hope that remains for humanity - even if it may not always feel like it. Each track plays a vital contribution to the story that should become apparant as the album progresses. It explores a variety of genres/textures and has two instrumental tracks - which draw the listener away from the usual narrated songs they are used to. It allows them to form part of the story in their own minds. I hope you enjoy this album!
