Light the Way

light the way
light the way
may the bridges i burn light the way
this is an anthem
to everyone who doesn't give a fuck
the ones who are sick of manipulation
the ones who know their time is up

wake up
are you not satisfied
with the stories and the lies
they teach you every day?
get on your knees and pray
hoping that your savior comes
wishing you weren't so numb
you think that there's no other way
well, it's your lucky day
become your own antichrist
become your own antichrist
become your own antichrist
you could be the one that calls the shots
your life is a reflection
of the twisted lies and
blinded eyes from an
outdated doctrine you've
forced yourself to believe as truth
by now i hope you see
it's not you versus me
it's all the twisted shit
these fucked up cults commit
it's that you shouldn't need
a set of strict beliefs
to live your life without
stealing and murdering people and shit
like are you serious?
are you not satisfied
with the stories and the lies?
your promise
of heaven
of an eternal reward
is equal
to bribing
a screaming child with candy

are you afraid of a full silver moon?
locked away in your ivory tower
the night-time breeze carrying a tune
a foretelling of your loss of power
we are the ones singing in the night
the only threat left to your repulsive system
in the shadows celebrating the moonlight
because we know your days are numbered
...and we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the broken and the heartless
we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the ones numb to the pain
...our souls departed
you will never see us coming
a fleeting shadow long after midnight
and you will never catch us running
because we're the ones ready to fight
these howls are a warning
this is a war we never chose
fear the fall but now we know
there'll be a fall regardless
...and we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the broken and the heartless
we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the ones numb to the pain
...the ones numb to the pain
black magic with a heart to match
a full-moon heart attack
black magic with a heart to match
let's end these megalomaniacs
black magic with a heart to match...
...and we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the broken and the heartless
we are the darkness
we are the darkness
we are the ones numb to the pain
...our souls departed

Virtual Girl
03:16

the glow of the computer screens
is all i'll ever need
i live inside the grid
where i am truly free
in meatspace i'm a sack of shit
i can't get over it
reality's a living hell
and insignificant
fight it fight it fight it off
just one more day
forget it get it get it now
until it goes away
waiting for the day that we can all be free...
cuz we are living in a virtual world
and i am a virtual girl
we are living in a virtual world
and i am a virtual girl
the hum of cooling fans
ensuring lifespans
i'll overclock myself
fuck you, who says i can't?
because in cyberspace
i never show my face
no one will ever know
my true hiding place
waiting for the day that we can all be free...
cuz we are living in a virtual world
and i am a virtual girl
we are living in a virtual world
and i am a virtual girl

all hail transhumanism
the post-human revolution
all hail transhumanism
mankind's final evolution

Touch of an Angel
01:29
|
|||
|
i was visited by an angel
she appeared in the silent dead of night
captivating splendour
her eyes were the purest beams of light
she spoke to me
her voice was the choir of a thousand souls
her words held the wisdom of a thousand years
she spoke to me
and she said...
MAKE MORE FUCKING BEEPBOOP MUSIC

let’s go!
[indistinguishable yell]
i found this really neat synth patch, and wrote a breakdown to match
the problem is the lyrics won’t come to me, but i couldn’t just leave it like that
i have nothing to scream about, but i already wrote the song
i kinda like the riffs and synths and shit, so this will have to do
so now you see my problem. the song is great but the lyrics are shit
i guess i’ll just write some random crap, and hope it comes off as clever
…or ironic
[Chorus x2]
i really need to find something to say..
“fuck you” i guess?
“fuck you” i guess?
[x2]
this is the part where the rap breaks down
it’s real intense; no one makes a sound
everything looks like it’s— oh right, that’s uh…
yeah.
[Chorus]
Sick
Sic Semper Normies
bleh
sure, i guess that works

Interweb (Poppy Cover)
03:51
|

|
i forgot what my password is
maybe it's Password123
i feel the technology be
deep inside of me
these days i don't have far to go
now that i've got you on my screen
when you're down and you're alone
ai'll be there watching you
i've caught you in my interweb
i've caught you in my internet
maybe i'm a spider
or maybe i'm a fisherman
my breathing code is binary
and my lunch is still processing
i feel like i know everything
deep inside of me
and the world feels smaller
when it's at my fingers
so let's keep talking
tell me what day is it?
can't turn it off yet
i'm wrapped up in it
so let's keep talking
tell me what day is it?

Meme Slut
04:03
|
|||
|
so here's the thing about your total dream-girl
she kinda seems basic AF
and don't try to justify your WCW
she ALSO seems like basic AF
yeah i can rhyme the same word twice
kanye and nikki do it all the time
honestly any string of words would suffice
you fucking tryhards make me wanna die
begone, thot (x3)
your adversary has arrived
begone thot (x3)
no normie hoes will be left alive
shes a motherfucking meme queen baby
she'll steal your heart with a shitpost of gold
a motherfucking meme queen baby
dead inside since she was 14 years old
normie exterminating femme fatale
destroying keyboard warriors and incels
yep, its another fucking song about a girl
a shitty pseudo-love song for my B-A-E
the kind of chick who will fuck up your whole world
that rhyme is 100% original, copyright Technophage 2019
the way to my heart is posting cancer on the internet
and through my pants but mostly the first thing
the way to my heart is posting cancer on the internet
the spicy shitposts are so tantalizing

Stillwater Cult
03:25
|
|||
|
worship the stagnation
the sickening static shit
blessed be the ones who escape this
for they truly are god's chosen
drag yourself day to day
complaining, criticizing
entitlement incarnate
until you reach your day of worship
now bow your heads
and pray that He will end your suffering
your pathetic existence
a life based on killing progress
now bow your heads
and pray that He will come for me
your fucking antichrist
your prophet of heresy
stillwater cult
a religion for those too stupid to fathom
independent thought
care, freedom, or empathy
[chorus]
this life would be easier if you were all dead
maybe this world wouldn't be a fucking hellscape
if you took your beliefs with you
to your fucking graves
you're a disease
you're a disease on humanity
you're a disease
you're a disease on humanity

Broken (2014 Remaster)
03:38
|
|||
|
shadows flicker as the trees hush you to sleep
lay your head down
try to hide your frown
i don’t see any reason to weep
the foorboards are moaning
telling you
to
run
windows shatter as my screams hit the wall
countless nights I stirred, waiting for your call
out the door and down the stairs, no time to look back
the darkness
is waiting
your sanity, slipping through the cracks
the forest is screaming
telling you
to
run
windows shatter as my screams hit the wall
countless nights I stirred, waiting for your call
the dark was painted by your light and your smile
the one responsible for this broken child

can...

Bridge Burning 101
04:58

burn
burn
your brotherhood of worthless, brain-dead hacks
and your output of pure fucking garbage
it's all one massive joke to me
it's fucking crazy you think you're an artist
i'll admit that it's kinda cute that all your
friends play along with your bullshit
the problems start when you call it art
and don't don't realize or try to fix it
every day i wake up and thank
the godless sky that i'm not you...
i came here to watch a fucking bridge burn
so please, make it worth my time
theres nothing in the world i would rather see
than the light in your eyes finally die
i came here to watch a fucking bridge burn
so step back and enjoy the view
i thought a hate song with a fun little anthem
would be the perfect way to say
"fuck you"
i'm finished pretending you're anything more than a stain on this fucking earth
talentless fuck-up relentlessly stuck-up and hopelessly coddled from birth
i know you can't fathom real vision or talent but some people are actually unique
your whole fucking scene is trash and rising from ashes you'll finally have something worth seeing
this shit isn't worth my fucking time
to the point this track was an afterthought
but apathy and hatred mix so well
and the album needed a money shot
...uhh i mean title track
burn it all down
use the flames to warm my cold, dead heart
burn this fucker down
it's not much of a show but it's a pretty good start
