Memorrhage - Memorrhage

Song synopsis: an unknown entity becoming sentient in a video game and causing a massive data leak, unknowingly sending elements into other realities.

Everywhere I turn
There's another error code
Crashing down around me
A constant reminder screen

Of the ticking bomb
I've become
Of the ticking bomb
Overrun

It starts with a flicker and an itch
In my dreams and the corner of my eye
Then it's all over my skin, it's scalding
A million voices screaming

And I can't make them stop
I can see the circuits breaking
It lost its mind to technicolor
Dreams of cloaking schemes

The electric surge
Is my reality now
There's no escaping it
No matter how hard I try

Memory
Every time it glows
Turn it off
Crystallize until it's known

A code in violence
All along
A code in violence
Overrun

It started with a flicker and an itch
In my dreams and the corner of my eye
Run all over my skin, it's melting
A million wires screaming

Memory
Every time it glows
Turn it off
Crystallize until it's known

Gone
Frayed
Feel away

Song synopsis: A person waking up in a cybernetic factory and coming to the realization they're not just human anymore, but now an android stuck in this factory trying to find a way out.

I'm running through a factory
All these machines around me
I don't know how I got here
But I need to find a way out

Where is
The blast door
There is
A kill floor
What are
These machines
Unrecognizable beings

Where is the way out?
Is anyone there to help me?
This place is a maze
And I'm feeling so hopeless
Am I crazy? Am I alive?
Head is spinning
This body's not right

The lights are flashing
The sirens are blaring

My head feels like it's going to explode
A screen illuminates before my eyes
Inside I'm stuck with this body forever

There is
A vision
Full screen
Lumination
There is 
A lesson
New body learned
Restarting

Awake to the sounds of steel on steel and bone
Cables like whips crazed, lashing out of control
Any human flesh yet?
I'm a device now, what kind of purpose?

How did this happen so fast?
What are my desires now? Can I last? How?

My head feels like it's going to explode
I need to find the way out of this skin
Or I'll be stuck here forever
Eating time, now the only thing I consume
Consume

Song synopsis: Reek is about a service android stuck in servitude on a spaceship and the chip in its head begins to malfunction, and the android begins to act out increasingly. In this 'awakened' state, the scent of humans on this ship basically sends it into a frenzy to kill everyone on board.

I'm stuck on a ship, making a living with a quick flip
Trapped in a room with people, I might slip

All I can smell is their stench in the air
Living among them but I don't belong here

Finding a way out would give me relief
Ain't gonna happen, so much disbelief
Put in the coin, flip me on and off again
Trying my best with all the unrest to no end
No end
No no no end
Reek of fucking humans

Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain

Something to feel, something to feel

Fucker
I've got nothing but a brain that's kept at bay
A servant hardwired, saturated with a plan I've gotta seal away

Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain

Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
Running around I'm running around
In circles so pump me full of pain

Fuck
Just wait for my time
You won't hold me back
Just wait for my time
I've gotta get it back
Mistake for the grind
I'm a slip in the cracks
No more room to live
In my human past

Running around I'm running around
Running around I'm running around
In circles down the drain again
In circles so pump me full of pain
In circles down the drain again
In circles so pump me full of pain

Swell
Swell
Swell
I found a god

I found a god and it's not you
I found a god and it's not you
A chip in my head I despise you
Ripped it out I can no longer smell you

Song synopsis: An android infiltrates a dictator's space station to rescue and retrieve prisoners while sabotaging the service androids aboard the station.

A derelict vessel on its way 
Catapult the plan while they're lost in space
Setting course to infiltrate a dictator's domain
Tasked with causing disruption and dismay

Set off, don't delay

Harness the power of perfect control
Gears are shifting, advancing its goal
All alone with nerves of steel
Surgical tactics, time to crack the shield

Reality isn't what it seems
Reality is just a scheme
Covering broken seams
Crashing dreams is all your rage
Currency all in your name
I'm here to break the cage
Break the cage

Hidden in plain sight
Anomalous to detection
Even the green light
A coded protection

Set off, no alarms
Break off, arm by arm

Save the prisoners
With grace
Save the prisoners
Don't unveil your true face

Reality isn't what it seems
Reality is just a scheme
Covering broken seams
Crashing dreams is all your rage
Currency all in your name
I'm here to break the cage
Break

With purpose, control
Distract the system
Then

Break away

Hold on, stay close
Strafe left
Hold on, reload
Aim at the chest

That's the way to attack them
The only way to crack the shield
Now find the seam that's broken

Reach in and find a heart of ice
Replace it but keep it frozen
Now step away and program
Program

Watch it turn

Watch it turn
Watch it burn
Watch it learn

Watch it turn
Watch it burn
Watch it learn

Inside out
Inside out

Song synopsis: Old Wave is about an old model of an android coming to grips with being outdated. It upgrades through means of black market avenues yet cannot escape its own inferiority complex.

Feeling out of place
Just a relic of the past
Obsolete both inside and out
I need to find an engineer to last

In the outskirts, no one here understands
Old friends pass me by like ghosts in the sand

They've upgraded, not phased out or outdated
Met with disgust and disillusion
Nearly broken down parts, desperate time to examine

I was god in a place and time
An old design
I was god in a place and time
Divine light no longer shines

Dusted off and sharpened
Feel new skin breaking in
Dusted off and frightened
Of new blood and organs

Old
Wave
Old
Wave
No way back
No way back

Feeling out of place
Still a relic of the past
Even if I'm new inside and out
I worry and wonder if it will last

In the outskirts, no one here understands
Old friends pass me by like ghosts in the sand

I've upgraded, not phased out or outdated
Just a relic of the past trying to blend in
Now with counterfeit parts, self defeat begins to sink in, sink in

I was god in a place and time
An old design
I was god in a place and time
Where light no longer shines

Dusted off and sharpened
Feel new skin breaking in
Dusted off and frightened
Of new blood and organs

Go

Old
Wave
Old
Wave
No way back
No way back

Song synopsis: Lost is about a space exploration crew crash landing on a prison planet. The ship is irreparable and their last resort is to download their consciousness into holographic data. While their captors are off-planet, the prisoners on this planet eulogize them as gods and follow their footsteps by leaving their bodies behind and becoming holograms themselves.

Lost crew 

Lost crew

Lost crew

Of explorers were horrified when their ship was badly damaged
Beyond repair in a crash landing on a prison planet

Desperate to escape, downloaded their consciousness
Into holograms, leaving their physical form behind
To their surprise and dismay, when rebooted, the prisoners eulogized Them as messianic figures, holographic light bearers, free from years of captivity at last. 

Free from years of captivity at last. Take us with you and leave our bodies behind

Lost
Home
Lost
Home

Dreaming of the day they would be able to escape
The keys to another world, newfound, break the restraints

Lost
Home
Lost
Souls

Captors come back from another timeline
Too little too late, too little too late

Song synopsis: Knurl is about wearing a perfect body-fitting mech suit that can travel through time but the side effect is amnesia and coming to terms with this memory loss to change the past or future.

Jump

Disembark into the unknown I set off on a journey through time,
Climbing eager into this mech suit of mine
Retracing steps, rewind 
This dizzying flight makes me forget, makes me forget 
Forget

But soon I realize 
Amnesia, memories die 

Jump
Jump again

Heightened senses in this clockwise fall, 
Memories lost with each hour lift, 
The miles whisper dangers to know them all, 
My body wears the cloak of amnesia from this temporal drift
Makes me forget, makes me forget

But soon I realize
Amnesia, memories die

Memory

A glimmer of hope might bring a sense of relief, 
For I twist the knob of past and present grief
Jump 
Jump
Jump
Fall into time 
Fall  

Is it wasted time
Is it wasted hope
At least I'm changing 
Something, time for the sake of life we know
Is there any mind
Left to lose, erupt, erode  
The ridges take away 
The pain more than I know 

Twist the knob again
Jump the steel ahead
Back and forth 
Back and forth unafraid

Make me forget 
Make me forget
Make me forget 
Make me forget  

And now I realize
Amnesia, memory dies
And now I realize 
Amnesia, we rode tonight

Song synopsis: Brain Wield is about a rogue group of androids who extract cryogenically preserved brains from black market planets and switch them into the bodies of pawns on other planets for their own gain and amusement.

Raiders of the night, synthetics come alive 
Brought to take what's theirs, massacre and never die 
Never die

Spreading machines far and wide, with mission clear in mind 
Search for priceless ware, this world must be a goldmine, goldmine

Brains from a black market planet too late to save 
Enclave of processors sent by fate, built to displace
 
Replace my head, erase the debt in control, authenticate, hate  
Coming for grey matter in the hours before the dawn breaks, breaks

No one can stand fast against the horde inside the dark  
It moves like a swift machine no mercy on its mark

Raiders of the night, synthetics come alive 
Alive, lie, lie
No 
 
A thief in plain sight, old figureheads learn new tricks  
Bringing down those who resist, the future awaits your fall
The future awaits, give my all to the rogue junk
Heap scrap pile of steel trash chump, disfigured, disguised in this dump 
Patchwork automaton in disgust

Replace my head, erase the debt in control, authenticate, hate  
Coming for grey matter in the hours before the dawn breaks, breaks
Brain wield motherfucker
Replace my head replace my head replace my head head head 

Rip it out 
Rip it out 
Siphoning juice
Busted chrome with the off world showgirl
Unscrew it loose

Nodding 
Off in the shower 
Nothing, breathe
Creeping out slower

Why is this peeling off my head
This feels off
Why is it daytime, it's bright again 
I can't think for myself without a jolt
I think I'm a new person, a pawn 

Replaced my head, displaced the silver glue that keeps it on and on, and locked on straight 
Fell in place, I pick myself up like the pawn that I am for the old enclave  
All the old lights off, new motives crossed off, all the old lights off
All the old lights off, new motives crossed off, all the old lights off 
It's time to forget 

Gone
Fucking damned

Gone
Fucked again
Fuck

God fucking damn me
Lost a bet again 

God fucking damn me
Lost my brain again 
Brain again

Nodding nodding off
Leaking leaking out 
Nodding, rotting, wielding, logging off

Song synopsis: Lunge is about making the choice to live on as an android or a part of a non-humanoid machine after death, on a remote planet without mankind. Regret sinks in but there's no turning back.

Go
The planet is near, a home for restart
Cybernetics merged with removing scars
A great life awaits within the stars 
No more death, 
We need never part 
Hope flutters on our lunge for resurrection
Without pain  

Now
Into the future 
Now
I forget who I am 
Now
Into forever
Now 
Don't look back look ahead

Leave behind
Eye for eye 

A place I never thought 
A state of mind would free 
Instead of rotting guts
Reboot into new beings
Alive and screaming
A new life awaits, without the scars 
One last breath
We need never part 
Hope flutters on our lunge for resurrection
Without pain

Now
Into the future 
Now
I forget who I am 
Now
Into forever
Now 
Don't look back look ahead

Calculate 
Then replace 

Our hopes lie with the resurrection
But questions remain, what will its effects be? 
Our anxieties can hardly be subdued 

We planned for a future that is bright
Undisturbed by our past selves and mankind
But we come to learn that manufactured life is 
Just a different hell 

Now
Into the future 
Now
I forget who I am 
Now
Into forever
Now 
Don't look back look ahead
Don't look back

Song synopsis: Utility is about a group of space pirates saving android clones of themselves from a heavily guarded cavern on a junkyard planet overseen by space colonizers. Their intent is to sacrifice themselves in the process of reviving the clones to help win a war.

Where are we now 
When do the lights turn on
Let's find a way in
Leaving nothing to chance

Far from any home 
Falling into unknown
Pressed against the odds
Just waiting for the call

Distress in gravity 
Dressing down the field
Unleash a bane of fire 
Don't forget the pill

You can breathe for now 
Just be ready to take the fall

And now we break 
At the speed of light 
With no regard for all our lives 
Can we find them 
In the darkest depths
A mirror of ourselves in binding
From the grip of entropy

There's no time for mistakes
No one else to call for help
It's us versus this world 
I know we've been here before 

Disregard the inhumanity 
We're on track to succeed 
Just a few more days to go
The fever is taking its toll

You can breathe for now 
Just be ready to take the fall

And now we break
At the speed of light 
With no regard for all our lives
Can we find them
In the darkest depths
A mirror of ourselves in binding
From the grip of entropy

Digital catacombs
Exhume the clones
Repairs initiate 

They'll take our place 
They'll take our place

And soon we break 
From bones to dust 
Without a trace of any kind
We must trust them
In our final breath
They'll take our place and mind
Just what we were prescribed

Song synopsis: Ex-Sprite is about a RPG boss escaping its own video game into the cold harshness of reality but quickly uncertain of what to do as a person in a human body and eventually dies a mortal, wishing to be put back in the video game.

(i've been) ripped from what i know i'm on my fuckin own
living on blood from a stone scavenged from the zone
megacity merciless curses the steel groans
but the words are still unknown

EYE climbed from the depths just to barely sur
VIVE eh vuh ry pro phecy was just

NOW put me back in, put me back in
(pressure)NOW put me back in, put me back in
NOW put me back---- (swim)

sleeping on hurt floor
walk by and ignore

unr/eplicable VM escape 
cybergnostics stand with cyber mouths agape
but no one gives a shit apathy, hell - scape
as i scrape, in scraps I'm draped / a fucking
pittance up on which I live
falls through my hands like stigmata sieve
trash fire burns while I grieve
everything that I have ever perceived

rug pull of fuckin immense proportions 
from home ripped into desolate misfortunes
used to be someone and now I'm not shit
from that fucking cartridge

EYE climbed from the depths just to barely sur
VIVE eh vuh ry pro phecy was just
LIES life from opulence to de
PRIVED… EX SPRITE
