Here We Are

So enthralled with your own portrait, but what are you giving back?
Construct yourself, to watch it all crumble.
Here we are, trying to hold ourselves up to your acceptance once more.
You're one of us, are you? Well when will the days show us your empathy?
All shut in, until you lash out – regurgitate and replace.
So you're one of us, are you? You're one of us... aren't you?

Daniel: Too content with what they fed you.
Conserve a moment of the time that's left.
Consider an alternative (than what's convenient) again and again and again.
Sicker and still we stand, embraced on feverish envy,
too complacent to finalize an effort for the last breath this earth lets us gasp.
Our aura is wasting away now Again, again, again until...
Logan: Outsourced and overlooked. Where will I go when the power goes out?
How can I provide? Outsourced and overlooked.
Alexander: It should go, without saying, that to give a shit is worth more
than a thousand thoughts, or prayers, or words – or any fucking other thing.

Alexander: I was there with you in the garden, I’ll be there with you in the dirt:
stricken from the flesh, returned to the earth.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Souls go to heaven, while metal will rust.
It ends in ashes, it all comes apart.
Daniel: Final attempt through / Every window / Of this opportunity
Bled / Thousands of colors / Ablaze / My glimpse of / A Reset
Thrones and skyline / Horrors / Towering above trees
Immovable / Contouring and crescent / Now you’re fed upon
Descend below the roots

One Eyed

Timid to critical of the nurturing hand. Miles deep in yourself.
The ego you relish from a redemptive stand. The one all knowing.
Who, what, where and when? Pleas and chants, victimless rants,
who are you to concede and staple character? Who are we to listen endlessly?
One eyed, luring the feeble minded and disposed.
Lacking accountability for end-all prose.
The one all knowing? Dig the shit out of your mouth.

Unfortunate end, Can't bear the gloom today.
All ends unseen, Abhorred, Abominated, Abhorred.
I can't get my head out, can't bear the gloom today.
Abhorred, Abominated, can't get my head out,
can't bear the gloom today.
Can't get out of my grotesque skin I'm held in –
Buried. Taste the decay.
My eyes accompanied with words I could not speak.

I tried, to keep it in, some sort of memory...
I tried.
Growing through a shade of grey light,
I laughed in the dark unknown and in short aired breaths to lather in the calm – I tried to keep you out.
At the end, I stood there.
At the end, I stood against you.
Reflections, dismantling tides of distractions eating away at my brain.
Everyday that I stay not moving forward with the same itches attracting my fingertips to my temples.
Letting abstractions claim ghosts, I see my shapeless form
Looking away not knowing what to accept.

In terms of darkness and extremity we have reached a point here. There is a lot going on during this record but the theme of just utter fucking ugliness permeates. Beautifully grotesque. Great record.
