1.	(I) 01:12	lyrics
Force the hand of chance meeting Face down the consequences
2.	I'll burn it down and then treasure it 02:13	lyrics
Slave to yourself Dreams are of no use Lock all your convictions Try to be more confident Don't worry I know what to do Light that fire
3.	Rituals for abandonment of the self 02:24	lyrics
This day I say "no more" Fall back on me Attach new strings on my wrist jump into endless void My mouth opens dry My words cut my flesh Attach new strings on my wrist jump into endless void
4.	It has come, in a way or another 02:51	lyrics
Let's just lay down and forget Oh, consume me What a terrible day Just let time go by Into night I will hide fearing the eternal return
5.	The toast of despair (an excerpt) 01:30	lyrics
We have cried — and the gods are silent We have trusted — and been betrayed We have loved — and the fruit was ashes We have given — the gift was weighed
6.	A ring to protect from time 02:00	lyrics
The curse of beauty seems so distant now what do we make of ourselves? streams of consciousness seems more tangled what do we make of ourselves, again? control slips through our hands
7.	Gnaw myself into envy 02:06	lyrics
A sign, I linger, too soon I wish to me, become what you are Soon Distance, a minor problem, I need to deal with my self-debasement So soon Why can't I be this
8.	A list for the winter that never came 02:53	lyrics
Swell, drip... Fate wasn't gentle Carved into stone Fades into memory, no sign whatsoever Wasn't meant to live
9.	(II) 01:54	lyrics
I just want a flower god that holds a bloodied dagger
