Assimilation

Swallow fire, spit your teeth at your feet.
Kill your desire and accept your defeat.
Peace will come to those who assimilate
Beyond the stars it is there they await
How many distractions do you
Need to help get through the day
Nothing will come close to erasing this biological impulse.
Brace yourself for the decline
It’s just something you get used to
Brace yourself for the decline
Apathy will wash over your mind
Let it go, forget you’re human
Let it go, you will survive

Shut-In

Please don’t forgive me
I’ll only let you down again
I swear it wasn’t always like this
The inception of a shut in
So many wasted nights spent
Giving more than I received
I thought we would never lose this
Some things are harder to believe
Deprived purity meets the frigid world
Years pass by and I have nothing to show for
By this age I thought we would know more

Don’t think, feel
Hands kept still while blood rushes through
Get out of your head and into your body
Transcend the agony with every breath
Oneness prevails and the ego dies
All is grounded to the same source
The river flows through from the outside in
Let it all pass through you
It comes and it goes
There is no separate entity
There is only you
Close your eyes
Feel your chest rise with each breath
All is one

One day this will end. Don’t forget to smile.
No one believed in us like you did. Who will be the one now to carry us?
Here’s the deal bud, I’ll take what I’ve learned from you
Wading through an endless sea of backstabbers I found you there
One day this will end. One day we’ll all go.
Really wish I could hear your voice right now
when it came to caring for others you always knew how.
So here I am reminded once again we are not special in this unjust world we live in.
I’ll do my best to carry out your will
Each day goes by with you on my mind still
One day this will end
One day we’ll all go
Here’s the deal bud, you will be missed

Dead Internet

Exploit the web, dumb it down, commodify.
There was a time when we could disengage
Once an escape, now bound to us every day
What’s worse, corporate takeover stripping the once unparalleled.
Too late we’re now unaware of the power we have given away.
It is broken
we must repair this current state of regression
Gaze upon the sad homogenous remains.
We have made a huge mistake.
World Wide Web has lost its way

Anticipatory Grief
02:28
|

|
Hit the brakes, hit the brakes!
Falling down on your face
You thought you had it all figured out
Excessive pride without a doubt
Where did you learn that skill from? A face so stoic
Blindsided and reminded of the erratic frailty
One day it will happen
Take each day as it comes.
Gloom will hide in plain sight
You won’t know what hit you
What the hell’s happening?
Here comes the ravaging

Camper Stamper

Unlock these chains so I can steal the colored tv and microwave
Punch out the RV window and spare no one inside
This blood lust is insatiable
Limbs will fly at the fate of each deadly hack
They must answer for their sin of premarital sex
Upgrade the hooded mask for a cowboy hat and sunglasses
Limbs will fly
Severed tongues and gouged out eyes
Prowling through the cold dragging the axe through the snow

Would I be able to give up my selfish desires
to sit with you in awkward pain?
Would you even want me to?
Would you even care?
Would I be able to give myself up?
I stole a glance as you put on your shoes
while your cousin was sleeping in the next room
I can feel your energy now
I'll forgive your past if you can forgive my face
Please notice my calm silence in your grace
We say we'll swear off our bad habits but really
lying just in case we disappoint again

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.
