CONSTRICTION

|
BLURRED LINES DRAWN IN MY BLOOD
FORCEFED INJECTED ELECTRIFY RADIATE BOMBARD INOCULATE
REPEAT THE PROCESS
SHATTERED GLASS LIKE THE REALITY
ONLY TO BE FED TO ME TIME AND TIME AGAIN
POWDERS AND POISONS FORCED IN VEINS, IN VANE
A MOLECULAR POLTERGEIST POSSESSION
FOR THE MIND IS BUT A ROOM THAT’S SHRINKING
CONSTRICTION ABSOLUTE
VICE LIKE GRIP
TENDRILS UPON
A RUSTED KEY
|

2. |
MERCURIAL
03:27
|
|||
|
I HAVE SEEN THE CRACKS APPEAR
HAIRLINES CREEP UNNOTICED
LIGHTNING FROZEN IN NEGATIVE
IT DRAWS LIGHT INTO A VOID
SHIFTING MONOLITHS
LIKE TECTONIC MICROCOSMS
A BLACK HOLE IN OUR SANCTUARY
A RED SKY AN AUTUMNAL FIRE
ABLAZE WITHIN ALL
MERCURIAL
THE COMA INTO WHICH WE SLIDE SLOWLY
A SLEEP THAT NONE SHALL AWAKE
|

SLAVES
02:42
|
|||
|
LET ME BITE DOWN UPON THIS WEDGE
AS IF IT WAS YOUR WHITE FLACCID NECK
LET ME DREAM OF YOUR DEMISE
ALL SERENE BATHED IN SOULLESS WHITE LIGHT
ALL DEVINE PRESENCE ADORNED WITH PALE BLUE
YOUR SENSUAL ROBES OF RITUAL
SHROUDED IDENTITIES
ERASURE, CLEAN SLATE AND REBOOT
INSIPID, DEFLATE, ERADICATE
OBEY THE VOLTAGE
SLAVES OF THE AMPERAGE
|

ENDLESS
03:19
|
|||
|
TOWARDS THE VANISHING POINT
A POINT OF NO RETURN
OF DRIPPING WATER AND A STILLNESS
UNEASE AMID MILDEW
STARE INTO THE YAWNING HALLWAYS ABYSS
AS A MOTH TO THE FLAME IT DRAWS ME
AS A VESSEL EMPTY OF ALL THOUGHT
SCUTTLING CREATURES SPEW FORTH
THE VERY SAME THAT SCURRIED IN MY SKULL
POISED
POISONING
POISONING, AN ALREADY, ACIDIC, TONGUE
SPITTING FURY
{chorus repeats}
EMPTY
EMPTIED
EMPTY NOW AS NEEDLES FILL
REST
RESTRAINED
RESTRAINTS LOOSEN AS THEY TIGHTEN
RUN
FLEE
BUT I CAN ONLY STUMBLE
ENDLESS IS THE WESTERN HALLWAY
PUTRID, WALLS, STAINED, PEELING
CELL, DOORS, ENTOMB, LIVING
STARVED MINDS, A SELF CONFINEMENT
STILL I STUMBLE, FROM ENTRAPMENT
ACRID, STENCH, DECAYED, DYING
COLD, FLOORS, ECHOED, RINGING
WISPERED WORDS, SCREAMING ANNOUNCEMENT
STAGGER TOWARDS WHICH BARES NO END
|

5. |
ASHES
04:03
|
|||
|
DICROIC FLOODLIGHTS LOOM, OVERHEAD
BLURRED FIGURES CROWD AROUND ME SILHOUETTED.
CAREFULLY MEASURED MEDICINAL VOLTS
TO COWER IN THE TREATMENT CAST
BLOT OUT THIS SON
TILL IT FADES FROM THE SKY
WHEN IS ENOUGH, EVER ENOUGH
WAIT FOR THE WELL TO DRY
FLICKER, SHUDDER, SPLUTTER, STOPPED
ASHES, REND THEM TO ASHES

DESCENT

SUBTERRAIN
04:23
|

|
ALL, BUT THE VOICES OF GOD LIES WITHIN
IT SPARES ME FROM THE SILENCE
WITHOUT A CHANCE TO THINK, TO REACT
TO CONFRONT/SUFFER THIS SICKNESS
SPURN ME ON, FORCE MY BLOODY HANDS
INTO THE WOUNDS AGAIN
DELVING DEEPER
HALOUCINATING LONGER
BLURRED LINES AND BROKEN PROMISES
RUSTING DOORS OF PERCEPTION, UNHINGED, WIDE OPEN
THE HUSK
EMPTY, BARE, NULL AND VOID
BEHOLD THE COMPASS, FOULED TO DIRECT
UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCT
INVITE A NEEDLE TO STAB FORTH WITH SPITE
FILLING VEINS WHILE THEY RETREAT TO THE DARK
A DAWN WILL COME WITHOUT US
THE FEW, THE FAR BETWEEN, THE FALLEN
TOO FEW, TOO FAR BETWEEN ARISEN
EXPERIMENTAL SLAVES OF THIS WORLD
MEDICATED

CLAUSTRA
08:06
|
|||
|
COLD, RELENTLESS RAINS
HEAVY, ON THE FILTHY WINDOW PANE
CREEKING FLOORS UNDERFOOT
AND A SICK, FEELING BURNS WITHIN
RISING DAMP WITHIN THE WALLS
YET SOMETHING STIRS ABOVE
IT IS THERE OUT THE WINDOW IN THE WOODS
AS A RUSTING WRECK RETURNS TO THIS EARTH CRIPPLED
STAGNANT WATER
COLLAPSED CEILINGS
SUDDEN CALM
AND WELLING FEAR
EYES UPON ME
GLAZED AND DISTANT
FROZEN HANDS REACH FOR FACES
SPIRALING DECENTS
FOUL WINDS HANG ON STILL AIR
SILENT ERUPTIONS DISGORGE THE FOLLIES
OF THOSE LEFT WITH A SEMBLANCE ..
OF HONOUR
LEECHES GORGE THEMSELVES ON NUMB FLESH
BOUND TO THEIR BEDS
MOTIONLESS IN CHAIRS
THEY SWAY IN THE CORNERS OF THIS LABYRINTH
ROBED IN RAGS
TATTERED AND BEFOULED
SOILED AND WRETCHED
I AWAIT TO HEAR THEIR FOOTSTEPS
AS A MARCHING DIVISION TO BATTLE
THE SAVIOURS OF OUR INCOHERENCE
THE SELF PROFESSING MASTERS OF THE MIND
STUMBLING THROUGH THE CEREBAL
SLASHING BLINDLY
BUTCHERS OF OUR BRAINS
MASTERS OF NONE
