Awoken from the fever dream
To find a nightmare in its place
Force fed the joy through the brain rot
Self inflicted trauma divides a species passing on the fault
Overfeeding our egos to rupture the cerebellum
Nostalgic for our misery we close off every route of escape
Delirious, masochistic, cold
The inner sadist clawing its way to the surface
Gleefully regurgitating the hatred thats been spewed
The cold chains binding us with a warm embrace
Convinced us the root of the problem resides within our heads
Ascension
We allowed them to achieve a higher status and to lower our standards
Affliction
A harbinger of the plague, amalgamating our ailments
A placebo cure if we deface our kin;
Compassion becomes a societal ill
Choking ourselves on the spoon fed venom but
The poison tastes less bitter than the medicine
Transcended to the status of gods
Deify our sadistic leaders
The ones that have justified
The rapes, the murders, the genocides
The ones that wrote the history
Just to devote all our minds
Continuous pacification
Terror is now beautiful
A prison inescapable
A system broken and can’t ever be fixed
How we've always lived, never a home, never a safe place
Believe the reflexive, non-reflexive narrative
If it isn’t real neither are the consequences
Choking
From the fumes of the slow decay so malicious and ever so comforting. The stench of death permeating from our
Final breath
A pacifist, defeatist, sadist, nihilist, a sick and masochistic pig; false nostalgia epidemic.
Scorn
Our leaders torched Eden and then claimed our souls
Loss
Harboring the hate to fill the dead space
Sink
Drowning in the blood of our complacency
Burn
With the last of what is ours
Its how it always was
We don’t know better
They showed contempt
So we gave them our loyalty
Sink
Low
Drowning in the blood of our complacency
Grasping
Desperate
Finite survival tactics won’t endure the slow decay
Breach their minds
Breed a lie
Hearts of scorn
Souls forlorn
Truth obscured
Vestigial hope
Masses inured
Watch them choke
The damages to ourselves are irreversible
No matter how much we cling to the nostalgic myth of better days
The bleakness of our present corrupts the hope of an alteration in the nature of our future.
It's how it always was
It's how it is
It's how it always will be

Artificial Sanctity
03:46
|
|||
Tethered to the failures
Of our complacent forebearers
Pacifist execution methods
The link to the womb must be severed
We’ve reached the heights
Of self hatred
Only to be plunged into
The depths of the slow decay
Its how it always was
Its how it always will be
Finite survival tactics
Forcing us into the endless
Artificial sanctity
The silenced screams
Drowned out by the force fed positivities
Give me the hit
Give me the fix
Give you the right to take a life without consequence
Dehumanize until there’s nothing left
Sacrifice until we meet the end
Enforce the joy before the populace death toll
Endorse the misery with yet another loophole
Kill the feeling with enough distraction
Kill the culture with enough detachment
Kill the people with enough retraction
Kill enough before a violent reaction
Blind
Side
Divided, hands broken we’ve strayed and lost our souls
Sold to the lowest bidder as our histories are retold
Collective conscious in a waking nightmare
Swallow the pill to avoid the conflict
Ghosted by our gods and left to starve
Murder-suicides as the last resolve
Colonize our heads with the fake love our minds wither with our hearts
Drained of currency; our salvation cannot be bought
Consuming our own flesh
We devote our being
To our leaders
Our gods

Dreaming In Monochrome
04:25
|
|||
A plague on our homes
Bastard wraith
Trading souls for a legacy
False prayer to a god a whisper away
Falling to the deaf ears of the vetocracy
The filth runs from the tower
Spewed onto the streets
A putrid gift
Promised from who we select
The grey expands
I must detach
The fruits of our labor have rotted away
Disillusioned
Pseudo-scientific preacher
Hinderance
Regress through distorted visions
Overcast
A shadow of vitriol
Cultivate and
Sow the seeds of malice
Senseless
Archaic hatred
Thin the herd
Reap the debt
I dream in monochrome
The slow decay
Divulge the secrets
Unified self loathing
Handed down
Worthless traditions to purge
Monetise the choice
Of a life worth living
Echoes of woe
Violated vigil
Peace got us nowhere
Evolve the methods
Generational traits
Of internal ruination
Malnourished minds
Poisoned the fruit
Fall into place
So the wounds won’t heal
Bow to the civilised who
Ravaged the mindscape
And made you
Idolise rapists
The devil we know
The only contender
Power struggles
Reveal there is no fracture
They’re all the same
Evolve the methods
They bred the misery
The visage
Of human nature
Reflections
Nostalgic oppressions
The last light
A blindside
We are alone
Dreaming in monochrome
Crushing boredom
Only pacified
In worlds beyond
Where our minds unite
Sanctioned by the gods
A nation paralysed
Dream up a new world
Close your tired eyes

Tar Stained Lips (2024)
05:05
|
|||
Tar stains the lips
Masochistic pig
Blind by option
Kill off your conscience
Rotting royalty, drain the country
Diseased divinity
Pumping blood through conformity
Deceitful power ties forming a cultural bond of pseudo democracy
Cleanse yourself of free thought and morality
Bleed your family
Bleed your home
Blind by option, kill off your conscience
Blissful longing
Blur the lines
Between the cure and the disease
Perverse leader
Praised after
Premeditated casualties
Backed by the
Beast of greed
Once planted the idea breeds
Fueling the wants
Starving the needs
Planting the seeds
A vigil mamed
By the hands that so hatefully binds us
Choking on the nostalgic dissonance
Beaten into serenity
Emulate the life we’re craving
Split paths, dead ends
There’s only one way out
We replace the fault
Through mental degradation
Introspective annihilation
As ego commands the desolate mind
You’re complacent until the final days
The leeches suck us dry
Our spines cave in
Tar stained
Lips pressed against the concrete dream
Neglect the evidence
Sycophantic vermin
The enablers of necessary evils
Resume to sharpen their tongue
Digging further down
Ignore
The instilled hierarchy of murderers
Self hatred buried deep
Piercing the hollow core
Mentor, devout
Perpetuating the mental distortion
Diverging paths
Tar stained lips
Pressed against the concrete dream
Praying scraps are left for the vermin
Force feed them tar
Convince them its wine
Bleed Your Family
Bleed Your Home
Its how it will always be
Let them drown
Bleed your own

Sever The Tie
04:46
|
|||
Undying loyalty
To sadistic powers
Disdain of balance
A broken scale
A primitive control
Omnipresent division
Control the law
Control us all
Life as a figure
Enslavement breathes
Forever guarded
Safe in the hands of thirteen
A murder from
The mouth of the boar
No one must mourn
They must be worshiped still
Power hungry
Force feeding it until it chokes
Defense of killing
Endorsement for the butchery
Profiled slaughter
Imprisoned by inconvenient birth
Meet the quota
Sever the tie to the outside
Sever the tie to the outside
Sever the tie
Resign to fear
The chains will not release
Even when they aren’t there
You have been branded
The scars remain
Stripped of identity
Mass isolated death
So the rage must spread
They fuel the fire
Engulf them in the flames
Non existent
Accountability
Purged from
Responsibility
The passed down
Tradition
Adopted mindset
Death sentence
It breathes
It feeds
It kills
Engrained
Divides
Infects
Vows to
Protect
It breathes
It feeds
It kills
Engrained
Divides
Infects
Vows to
Protect
Overt silence
Murder defenders
Three strike systems
Private prisons
Guilty from birth
Guilty till death
Pacifist hearts
Defeatist minds
It's how it always will be
The face of disease

Pacifist//Defeatist
04:10
|
|||
A slow decay
Into non-existence
The realm beyond claims me as its own
Flickering away
From the lives we once knew
Cast into an endless oblivion
Left with nothing
Soulless, apathetic
Withered heart of a pacifist
Decomposed mind of a defeatist
Feeding the ideals of a nihilist
Living stoic, masochistic, destitute
Embracing the guidance of a spiteful cynic
The dying memory
Of the feeling of safety
Elevating the misery
Preservation of the agony
Self appointed ignorance
Recognise my inner sadist
With the folly of my kin
We found security in endless burning
Moral deficit
The ever dimming light
Keep the fire alive
With another sacrifice
Its how it always was
Its how it always will be
Finite survival tactics
Won’t endure the slow decay
Transcended from the guilt
Complacent in complicity
Heart of a pacifist
Mind of a defeatist
Heart of a pacifist
The inner sadist
Heart of a pacifist
Ever present nihilist
The slow decay
Cemented
A slow decay
Into non-existence
