DEFINITION
01:14
|
|||
You break me down
into a few words
bleeding my identity
stuck in your cage
your simple label
keeps you fettered
fuck your definition
I will not be bound
Open your eyes, you are your own
A single joy, does not describe you
Dilute one's character
Synthesize to determine
Assume multiple hive minds
Define all of us
Strength in an image
Not of your own
Choosing a lifestyle
Ignoring contradictions
Burying your head
Judging simple titles

REALITY OVERRIDE
00:45
|
|||
Pounding ribcage from inside
Cold sensation overrides
As focus intensifies
Reality changes shape
The moment setting in
Analysis multiplies
The colors blur
in vivid streaks
every blink a picture
to excite and terrorize
Look out the window
Past the borders of the skull
Confronting reality
Facing circumstance
Can't blanket the facts
Can't create a mask
What is the best path
When all seems to fail

Violent vision splatter cerebral
canvass dream-like decadence
ruptured moral conjures intense
death scene magnificence
Doubt, Guilt, Shame, Revulsion
Primal outburst impact fury
Transposed atavistic augmentation
Splintered judgement fragments
Load the chamber to the face of the sun
Doubt, Guilt, Shame, Revulsion
Strengthened Emptiness
Lost in alterations
Sleep holds the pain at bay
As will slowly erodes away
Spontaneous Betrayal of the Self
Target nearest random denier
Cautious elimination tendencies
Suspect habits increase casually
Dormant maniac underneath
Doubt, Guilt, Shame, Revulsion

Create opaque, Sordid Luminescence
Joyous mirage, Patterns infest
Constructed void of psychic radiation
Cerebral sedation algorithmic con
Lulling me into animus sleep
Engineer my world, delusions of freedom
Elegant tendrils extend to caress
ease my inquiries whispers distinctions
Personal unity made abstract
Conflict with senses paranoia charge
Repetitve calls chant me down
As the fleece begins afloat I submit
Tailored contexts guide my path
Sheppard stalking oblivious & entranced
Laughter obfuscates menacing horror at
Predict thoughts omit questions
Endless drone
Hammering out my world
Vomit upon
Thoughts that stray
Convulsing in emotion to images portrayed
subconscious reactions erected out of my mind
finite on the filter led further down
to where morbidity lurks most foul
Then try to turn away
Grips pulls tighter
Binding white noise
Begins to overtake

THERE IS A CHOICE
03:13
|
|||
There is a choice to
Shriek at the nameless headstone in your mind
Look that of a dying fish, gasping durations of your life
Kaliediscopic Fissures
Projected Fading Pictures
There is a choice to
Sucumb to the gambits dealt by the hand of vice
Your move surrendered, once you leashed a fix to a sacrifice
Is that me in there?
I need out
As the coffin lowered, a finger crept out
curling me forward, enraptured
There is a choice
To live knowing that your death will set the path
Achieving enlightened obstinance sickly by grasp
Life's precious and you only get one
Vacant stare, Bold aura
Maximized, Wonder
Mirror reflects, Your body hangs
Whispering, Go back
Amidst the lost souls
I am found
As the church bells toll
The ground gave out
Swallowing all woe
Transformation complete
Transfixed, No longer
Am I, Afraid

CORNER OF THE EYE
02:56
|
|||
Wake up wet and convulsing
Shrunken faced shadows with grey arms extending
Is it my time?
Why torture this way?
Restraints unwind
Moths fill the room
Warm winged fluorescents
Cob-webbed fingers
Delay in movement
Who is the lurker?
Still behind the veil
Its eyes don't move
Yet they tell so much
Corner of the Eye
On the periphery
Of this lithium delirium
The screeching crash of recall
Illuminates its wings against the wall
Corner of the Eye
Come
With me to take
The pain away from all life was to become
And to be set
Free
Seconds become a measurement
Foggy clarity dissolves into glass
The rhythm sustains
Starts to increase
Life's shadow decreases
Outside silence retreats
Vocal conipitions
Starts to articulate
