Future Of Lies

Trapped in a farce of mediocrity
This isn’t the future they promised me
All hope’s expired and I’m wasting my time
So uninspired I’m bored out of my mind
I walk through streets so gentrified
They destroyed everything that made this city alive
Whitewashed, censored, razed to the ground
To make room for the haves while the have-nots drown
Stuck in a world that wants to push us away
So sick of the system that keeps us afraid
What once was ours has been homogenized
Counterculture unrecognized
It’s up to you to tear it all down
Blow it to pieces then turn it around
Cut the wires and pull the lever
Better always than forever, better now than never
The sun is setting on a smog-filled sky
Above dystopian ruins, a future of lies
I’m in such a state of desperation
My senses are dulled by my inebriation
Down on Skid Row, I see the dispossessed
The rich get richer while the poor get depressed
Somebody save us from ourselves
Take us away from these circles of hell

Fallen From Your Grace

Living on the fringes
I’m a social disease
I spit on your conformity
You push me to extremes
This burned out hell of humanity
Doesn’t care if we live or die
Every day we wake up again
We’re goddamn lucky to be alive
I’ve fallen from your grace and you’re praying for salvation
(save yourselves)
Questioning your faith and you’re crying for liberation
(nothing else)
I’m not the one to blame for this hypocrisy
You’re blinded by your blasphemy
Beneath my smile is a chip on my shoulder
A growing distrust
For the world I thought I knew
Everywhere I turn it seems
The people grow colder
Marooned on islands of isolation
Waiting for the revelation

Cyanotic brings us another installment...a blistering, brutal, post-apocalyptic soundtrack. Tech Noir plus more!

Watts at his best, clearly rising to the occasion. Equal parts glam, grit, and guts...some songs are tear-jerkingly beautiful and others are just plain fun. A masterpiece.

Khaidian - Penumbra
by Khaidian
Properly scathing industrial-ish alt-metal with a slight punk twist...the sort of album you can listen to front to back, over and over.
