Scorn 04:52
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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
