01. Weak Reasoning

Music by Cynic
Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Animal's the answer to all forms of innocence
Mankind destroys with weak intentions and weaker reasons
Torturing animals for an excuse so dense
An inhuman science with no feeling and no sense
Shoving down your feelings, puking out your world
You justify your acts by thinking you might find a cure
What the hell is with you all?
Can't you see the light?
It seems to be you'd rather harm than what's fucking right

What discoveries have they made?
Will they find a cure?
Using a dog or cat's no way to be sure
Don't you know what's going on?
Don't you have a mind?
They're helpless creatures
What do you ever find?
Senseless killings just to make yourself pure
Why can't we understand that nothing's ever sure?
Do you feel responsible for the future of mankind?
A human body a human mind
Maybe that's where you should conduct your fucking finds

02. Once Misguided

Music by Cynic
Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Inculcate perfection from the very day of birth
Don't understand just what it means
Discourse destroyed
Don't know what it's worth
Sow you up into a seam
Impregnable parents who can't accept the truth
Selfishness to earn their keep
Your life's been set destined to be ruined
Living a misguided dream

Once misguided

Tyrannical parents
Persecute and depress
A bewildered young mess
A personal attack
You just realized their vindictive fueled lies
Your parents grow weaker
Trepidation is stronger
They own you no longer
Their idea of holding will never hold true
Once disrespected your parents now lose

A human being when misguided
Should be aware to defy it
Don't be a victim of a misguided life

03. Dwellers Of The Threshold

Music by Cynic
Lyrics by Paul Masvidal
Archetypal dwellers of the end
Sacrifice control and dissent
Nothing's ever wasted to be good
Let's face it life is what you choose

See the violence
Leave it or consent
Something in us
Must cry out and repent
Sideshow politics make no fucking sense

Dwellers of the threshold

Their rules their laws their life
Ostentation as a beautiful strife
The hypocrites blame with a mind deranged
They're the ones we should fucking hate
