A first stop for many, the melancholy sadness of failure:
as the world drags you down
you won't have a single sound
as try to make your claim
you’ll find you can’t maintain
but as the years descend I hope you
keep repeating you’re not done now
never fade from thought and wonder
keep repeating tear asunder
as the world passed us by
i was right by your side
you were staring out wide
you were begging
for something else in your life
something else to hold on to
that won’t make you feel this way
It won’t let you feel this way
times go on and you keep thinking
and all around you it keeps repeating
and in your head you feel you're sinking
all those feelings all keep meeting
you can feel it all around you, falling down
like a cold rain breaking in the evening
do you feel like your whole life you’re swimming in plastic?
cause i feel like my whole life is swimming in plastic
keep your eyes on what's in front of you
don’t ever feel like you can’t go on
I don’t want to see you right there
i've seen myself there
i've seen it all out
everything around you, goes away
and it doesn’t feel like any sense can be found
do You feel like you're whole life you’re swimming in plastic?
cause i feel like my whole life I'm drowning in plastic

For those frustrated by the defiant war against intellectualism
I don’t how you have so much stockpile
And you keep making things that take lives
You keep creating dangerous places
Line them to bits with daggers and knives
I used to be much of the same vein
Now i’m just tired of the same old game
Foolish of me to think I could change you
All that I want is too lose your name
Smoke from the factories cover the sky
Shells detonate through the cracks in the night
Reloading, reloading, reloading
Reloading, reloading, reloading…
All of the people
Where are they going
Standing around the vending machine
Tired of losing, tired of dying
Tired of fall into your game
One day there will be heat death all over
All of things now loved all gone
Nothing remaining nothing existing
Why do you try to hurry it on?
Shadows of yesterday clog up your veins
Legions of truants all shriek quite the same
Break from it, break from it, break from it
Break from it, break from it, break from it
La la la la la la la

the place nobody wants to look at in the landscape picture, the bunker door leading to unspeakable terror
I’ve been noticing the clinical trials
And its serious side effects
I’ve been talking bout the clinical tests
And its serious side effects
I’ve been talking bout the clinical trials
And their serious outcomes
I’ve been talking bout the clinical tests
And its rational outcome
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME
When you hear them talking
When you think you know it
I’ve been noticing the eyes and faces
All around this place
And how in the hell did i let myself
Get so complacent
The poison they drip
The messages they send
And all the times i stood there
Saying nothing
Doing absolutely nothing
IT’S MAKING ME GREEN
IT’S MAKING ME GREEN
IT’S MAKING ME GREEN
IT’S MAKING ME
You’re next in line
You’ll be next in line
Where do ya go?
Where do ya go?
I’ve been noticing the clinical trials
And their serious side effects
I’ve been noticing the clinical trials
And their serious side effects
I’ve been noticing the clinical trials
And their serious side effects
I’ve been noticing the clinical trials
And their serious side effects
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME CLEAN
IT’S MAKING ME

Chemical Resistance
03:45

Can you confront yourself? The confrontation begins with
When you walk around
You walk on the wrong side of the town
I try to explain
But it all adds up to the next big day
Coz
Farther on you’re in the ground
And farther back you're lost and found
Farther on you’re in the ground
And father on you’re lost and found now
But you don’t want to hear the words
To you it’s nothing totally nothing
You’re so obsessed with length and distance
It infiltrates your chemical resistance
Farther on you’re in the ground
And farther back you're lost and found
Farther on you’re in the ground
And father back you’re lost and found now
I can’t say what your life is all about
Yeah I can’t say what your life is all about
I can’t say what your life is all about
And I can’t say what your life is all about

The comfort of corporations and media that offers you a terrifying embrace, we’re certainly living on a
You feel like
Your past your final high
You feel like
There’s nothing left all
You see that
The worlds so very turn
You feel that
All rational is gone
They see you
They tell it all straight to you
They tell you
They found a way
You love it
You’re ready to head back to
Yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
TV
Inside your head
Inside heart eyes
Inside your mind
Tv
Inside your brain
Inside your mind
You feel like
It’s all coming back now
You know that
They cant take it away
They tell you
The system’s very normal
They tell you
It’s got to be that way
You know that
That they’re lying to you
You know but
But you let it slide
You turn to
their arms extended outwards
You feel the warm embrace
TV
Inside your head
Inside heart eyes
Inside your mind
Tv
Inside your brain
Inside your mind
And as you fall asleep
You dream and something better
Dream of a better place…
Dream of a better life…

Here at Carrion Parks we appreciate our guests with the utmost respect. As we traverse this evil world together, we can find solace in the elevation of the most simple of pleasures, such a music, which brings us to our next attraction
Melody
The song that you play
It’s breaking me down
It’s breaking my heart now
Feeling’s strong
The tensions drawn
Collapsing in terror
Collapsing me down now
Through the song
The days that are gone
It’s breaking me up
It’s breaking my heart now
Dream of a time
The place that i’d fine
It’s taking me there
The place that i fill now
Standing in the corner is
The only one paying attention
They shake their head along with the rhythm
They’re the only one that gets it
They play a drum in a band
They can hit the crashes on every command
They don’t care for the future
Coz its never coming
They just care about the feeling
And how long it's going
Melody
The song that you play
It’s breaking me down
It’s breaking my heart now
Feeling’s strong
The tensions drawn
Collapsing in horror
Collapsing me down now
Elevation
Aviation
It’s taking me down
Down to the the ground now
Remembering the song that was made
The song that you played
Ringing aloud now
Staring at the wall
With the headphones on
They sit and dream for miles
There's gotta be something out there
That won't make them hurt anymore
All of these feelings circling around
How do i stand up
And climb from the ground
Far away from the place that i am
If you find a way
Ill do all i can

Do You have faith in an institution that has demonstrated time after time they don’t care if you perish? Listen on
Do you believe in what your government says
What they do
What they promise
How do you feel when it doesn’t turn out that way-ayay-ayay
Hard to to believe in the world we live in
How many die that shouldn’t
And the ones at the top ensure
It stays that way
So maybe one day
In a single week
In a year you’ll never have back
That you just get to everything you want
It’s everything you dreamed of
Then return to a place that makes you feel
Like you wanna die
How does it feel that these promises are lies lies lies lies
How much
How much
How much
Do you feel the error?
Through the walls
Through the walls
I hear you scream in terror
How do you spend a lifetime advocating
For ideas but they dont do anything
See the circus go, the madness form
I’ve got no time for a middle line
Or any hope things will turn out fine
When millions beg for medical supplies
And all you offer is a curtain of lies
How much
How much
How much
Do you feel the error?
Through the walls
Through the walls
I hear you scream in terror

As in cytoplasm, the simplest of lifeforms without the cynical horrors of humanity
Running around
Without a single sound
Nobody trips you up
Because nobody trips you down
Developing the coils, spiraling around
Unbreakable…
The thoughts and patterns
Spiraling around the nucleus
Cyto-Cyto
Cyto-Cyto
Cyto-Cyto
Cyto-Cyto
Running around
Swirling around
Control the glass and frames
of this broken down town
No thoughts
No mind
No panic in this town
Expire into nothing without a single sound

All memories experienced have lasting impact, sometimes the smallest will bloom into something bigger, crashing into you like a
As it cranks up
You look around
As it goes up
You look down
See the trees and the streets
The people you could meet
Shrinking in size
As you climb…
All the waves in your life
They go with you
All the waves in your life
They hold on for all time
When you reach out to those
You will hear them
When you hit all the highs
You will hear them
As the cranking stops
You feel fearful
As you make the turn
You feel dreadful
When you see where you’re gonna go
And now time is moving slow
How you’re gonna go
When it goes down?
The splashes in your life
They stay with you
The dreadfulness you feel
They stay with you
With every crashing blow
It hits you deep below
Yeah I hope you will hold on
And remember…

Agent Agent
03:13

Is it two agents, or a simple reframe?
Above your head
There’s a hole in the ceiling
And through that hole
Is a crack that keeps leaking
Everytime it rains
It comes it straight through
And it falls through the hole
And it lands on you
And you think you should fix it
But there’s not much you can do
When you never had a chance to
Never had a chance to
I see the sparkle in your eyes and i know
You’re in love again
In love again now
I get a reading what your feeling from the ceiling
And can tell yeah
You’re in love again yeah
You’ll be good for awhile
And then youll see the ceiling
And remember the feeling
Your problems will return
And you’ll know
You’re not in love again
In love again
And the agents who monitor you
Don’t monitor for your health
They’re monitoring a libability
To protect themselves
From some threat to intergity
Some threat
That you might be
With a several billion dollar budget
Enough to save the world
But they’re not going to save us
They’ve not even trying
As the hole they gave through stays the same
Yeah they’ve not going to save us
They’re not even trying
As the hole they gaze through stays the same
I see you close your eyes
And I know
You dont want to be
Don’t want to be now
They sold you something
That was nothing
Not the thing that you tried to be
Tried to be now
They shut the case
Theres vacant space
Now that youre not around
You’re not around now
There’s nothing here
Nothing to fear
Expect for what they thought youd be
Thought you’d be now
Why do we let it all happen?
Why do we let it go on?
What dreams die as the agents watch on?
What dreams die as the agents watch on?
What dreams die as the agents watch on?
What dreams die as the agents watch on?

The corrupt institution of the police facilitates unspeakable violence in the USA. Those who would speak up are constantly battered down by a system that refuses to change. They’re counting on you to give up, it’s the
It’s a long time coming and they want you to fail
Sterilization wave
its a long time coming and they want you to end
Sterilization wave
March to the beat of the drums of america
March to the beat of the drums of america
March to the beat of the drums of america
March to the beat of the drums of america
Bunkered down under kevlar padding
Shielded behind the canister fire
A vision of authority
Trusting in authority
Simulated fiction
Built on your compliance
That’s why you don’t trust authority
Don’t trust authority
Remember who they answer for
The people at the top who profit
Give them a chance and they’ll run you down
With the guns and gas
Sonic weapons
Armored Plated Four Wheel Drive
It’s a long time coming and they want you to end
Sterilization wave
its a long time coming and they want you to die
Sterilization wave
End the lies of destructive behavior
End the lies of destructive behavior
End the lies of destructive behavior
End the lies of destruction
Don't trust authority
No matter the majority
Who tell you it’s a rotten apple
Then take a slice of apple pie
I've been walking in a straight line
My whole life and all I've seen is exploitation
Guarded by a badge of honor
Until there’s nothing left that requires justification
They don’t need concern or obligation
It’s a long time coming and they want you to fail
Sterilization wave
its a long time coming and they want you to die
Sterilization wave
And when you raise your hand
When you question their command
They don’t care for your demands
It’s not their job to understand
Understand your safety
Sterilization Wave
Sterilization Wave
It's a long time coming
and they want you to fail

The final glimpse of an unreachable point
5 AM I wake up
I start my last routine
Checking pressurized modules
Correspond the daily temperatures
Try to the lock the gate right
It never really sits that perfect
I see through the fencing
Out there in the distance…
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
It’s a sad world
And we’re all so tired
We wake up so early
Just to try to keep breathing
And if you finally get there
It’s uninhabitable
It’s a wealthy poison
You either live off
Or you’re thrown in the
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
Oil Ocean
If it's the right choice
Yeah i'm really banking on it
Maybe someday we’ll be back there
Or somewhere even higher…
Yeah I know it’s poison
But i can see us standing on the other side
And i know you’re never happy
Cause I can’t get you to the…

AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE NOW REACHED THE END OF CARRION PARKS ATTRACTIONS. WHILE IT MAY BE OVER, THE END DOES NOT MEAN A TIME FOR SADNESS, BUT PERHAPS NEW BEGINNINGS, FOR A BETTER FUTURE THAN THE STATE OF BEING WE EXIST IN NOW. WE’VE WATCHED SO MANY FAIL AND FORSAKE US IN A TERRIFYING WORLD, BUT IT IS OUR TURN TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER FUTURE THAN WHAT’S EXPECTED. ON BEHALF OF CARRION PARKS, WE HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO CARRY ON SOME GLEAMING LIGHT INTO THE FUTURE, SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT WE BECAME.
