Track 1 from 1991 demo
(*original mix from cassette transfer)

Due to damage to the original 8 track 1/4" reel, the decision was made to use the original cassette mix for this release.

lyrics

Through scattered hallways, hordes of faceless- generic souls with false religions. Separate paths connect for an instant, opposing viewpoints are marked dissension. This artifical sense of comfort- chemical straining, perception distorts. Innuendos crack weak foundations. The hands of fate carry dark intentions.
The price that I might pay- to be cast away. Now maybe I'll see, what lays ahead for me? I cry out in a state of depressive despair- some slighted affirmation- am I going somewhere?
Clear dense, clouded eyes. Blind to all the lies. Come forth into the light- decipher what is right. This path that I've taken- less travelled, I know.
Internal instinct says it's the way I must go....
I sat amongst the mindless masses and watched with passive eyes. Brilliant, creative, vibrant youth- I saw conform and die.
No law or order can contain me, society has turned its back.
I've spent many a cold and lonely night- far between the cracks.
