Virtue Signal 03:52
lyrics

got the heart of a saint and a virtuous bone keeps on aching and beating won't leave me alone it's a lonely affair I'm surrounded by all they just take and take and take and take I am giving it all I do not hide it well with even half of a look anybody could tell I am skin and bones and everybody knows I'll make sure they know always give what I can then a little bit more every person I hate, I publicly adore I am one of the sins but you can never tell I'm an angel standing on the side a fallen angel virtuous disguise as long as in your eyes I have done nobody wrong I'm an angel who's fallen from the skies it doesn't matter -- if I had a heart I'd give it away you may have never heard it spoken but I have so much to say I'm a shepherd of the people, pure grace what kind of effort must I make before you realize and say that I'm an angel standing on the side a fallen angel a virtuous disguise as long as in your eyes I have done nobody wrong I'm an angel who's fallen from the skies

Running Backwards 03:38
lyrics

something's blowing in the breeze a familiar scent brings warning and unease like a spec caught in my eye I can't look at it but always gonna try "lift me up oh carry me forth like I'm an idol for a temple" something small has gone awry it seems important but I cannot tell you why this suspicion makes me feel I'm out of control or running backwards, maybe think it takes it's toll every word said thrills me but somethings out of line something's changing in the air I can notice it, not sure if I should care ignore the blatant overtones Is this important or is this all overblown? "lift me up oh lay at my feet like I'm a god inside a temple" used to think that I knew more Now I barely think at all this division makes me feel I'm out of control or running backwards, maybe think it takes it's toll every word said thrills me but somethings out of line this division makes me feel I'm out of control or running backwards, maybe think it takes it's toll every word said thrills me but somethings out of line

cry for joy the saints have gone away drowned out their voice as we sang for you and me we are horribly free hold the tears don't you whimper, don't cry don't want the guilt to go and ruin the whole night hold it up like a gilded cup I still won't feel anything jump for joy the saints have gone away cried out in force as we sang we are libertines we are horrid things and I don't feel anything so I just call that empathy I'm sensing rage total anarchy the teeth have come out and they're ready to bite we've gone insane or have we always been a pack of animals alone in the night? jump for joy the saints have gone away broke every bone as we sang there's usually far more sympathy am I alone in this feeling of calm or are you burdened by a feeling that you've done something wrong it screams a voice out a blessing or curse does it cry out in defiance or does it crave the perverse I still don't feel anything but so far there's no penalty I'm sensing rage total anarchy the teeth have come out and they're ready to bite we've gone insane or have we always been a pack of animals alone in the night? when I close my eyes I know this feeling is temporary but I can't hide it eyes in the night and claws on the skin that pull me in begin to tear asunder I have looked through the night I know this feeling is temporary but I can't hide it I close my eyes the voices within give in till silence resides I'm sensing rage total anarchy the teeth have come out and they're ready to bite we've gone insane or have we always been a pack of animals alone in the night?

about

Vicious Animals delves into a topic seldom mentioned in music: Morality. More specifically, it looks at what makes a human different from the rest of the animal kingdom, and as the name of the album suggests, if we are very different at all.

Mostly the songs are critiques of mankind, covering topics like tribalism, and aggression -- all the good stuff.

Top it off with the classic staples of Visc: crushing guitars and wonky synths, and you have what I consider to be my strongest album.
