The songs of “Kill the Light” range from haunting and heartbreaking, to heavy-hitting club tracks, yet all retain the sound that is so uniquely SYSTEM SYN.

lyrics

I was alive a thousand years before you were born
so every thought you think is yours just makes me bored
repeat the phrases favored puppets say
never mind that there will always be another way

don’t tell me you don’t know

I was born with the devil’s tongue in my mouth
they cut my horns so I grew them inside out
rooted inside burrowed straight into my brain
kept me alive while the whole world went insane

I don’t want to hear any more
shut up shut up
we’ll make you listen

I don’t want to live in fear anymore
too bad for you
that’s all we offer

I came to kill
all your free will
so pick a side
and I’ll decide whose blood you spill

say goodbye to those you love
if they disagree
fuck your reason fuck your empathy
see no evil and bow down to me

everyday we pull away
no ground below so we keep falling
calling out into the void
echos fail still we’re afraid to say

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know

I don’t know how to breathe anymore
and there’s no one left to show me
no reason to dream anymore
if no one cares to know me

alone we all descend
just ashes in the wind
