This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Fading away grey
Positive denial
Long story long lose lose
All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing.
Sober low recoiling memories trancendant and blank
Underground torch passers
Use your eyes
Reclaim your mind
Invent your own religion
Be alone among them
Wear a mask, everything is going to be wonderful
Crack up till it craps out
Stay in the freedom world
Appeal cells don't appease self
Filter don't make light, sensatives are sitll alive
Frustrate frustrates; change changes
Climbing process
Breathe deep my friend, think still for one second
To hell to work
Capo slide piano
Go violently back and forth discipline disciple
Avant gravity
Garbage eaters, bottom feeders
Why it's got to go
To fever.
Life itself is a distraction against repetition rehearsal
Lock yourself in the dark and make your mind glow
Self hate addiction
Solitude repetition.
