lyrics

Every prejudice you breathe
Sends a wave that gently crashes
Against an answer that could save
Threads a needle through the effigy
Puts the machete in its hands
Drowns a hope, burns a genesis
Butterfly Segregation

Cause and effect
Perpetual

Defined and medicated minds
Erase the threat and smother out our ember
Put our lives at ease to own a natural course
Then a shock occurs to rattle routine apathy

Cause and effect

Comfort provided in our distractions
I can't retain because I've lost the reasons
Suffering locked in competition
I can't react and don't remember trying
A promise spit against the wind
To a hand enforcing ownership
Concept nurturing a concept reigning over concepts bludgeoning a concept

Fire spills from our own hands
And lands upon the backs of children
Lies occupy the senses overriding instincts keeps providing funds
History packaged as a myth
glossed and warped to provide your entertainment

Capitulated loss
To the poisoned inner workings of the self
Set us free from these hypnotizing saints
Don't wash the blood that has coated all our senses

The pounding of the drums
From the minds that rattled precious balanced plans
Beyond their coil, that can't be buried true
A wave and not a drop, a senses spirit true

The distance closes off
In between the precious sparks that bare our nature
We are more then brittle words and carpet bombings
Hide a name and watch their eyes wide search in panic

Fate,
consensuses of all theory
The vertebra of lust aligned in decimation of the truest name

Pain
The threat outweighs the feeling
This safety of identity deprives us of true knowledge
Shame
Show me my failure
Teach me my hate that I may finally awake.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
