damaged in one piece or many no one cares shed the light streaming down under glass creeping in settle to resent the decay nobody watching stand aside lost in an unlit space almost familiar but to dread helpless sense useless and abandoned deafening silence denial crashing down spins around to ponder caving in not here for feeling no sympathy just cut growing deranged everything speeds up passes by say goodbye dreams turn to hell nightmares manifest release the creeps internalize grief despair and the color of hate regrets piled up in corners bathed in shit covered in rats these bugs don't care where they crawl over souls covered in filth treated untreated locked away forgotten let it nothing ever gets clean the shadowy faces distort can't recognize just grasping at past events smothered in Grey clouds the fog the moments don't last just fade into nothing with time who would keep such things alive and how long will the machines maintain eventually the voices devolve to murmurs static the sound of numbness the dreams of waste melt away
2.
A pile of Lies reaches towards the decrepit cathedral ceiling the congregation drunk on empty promises of a perfect world idiosyncratic faith to follow off a cliff one day your life will have meaning all you did it all for nothing just repeat the lines over and over and over and over until you believe it save the world kill yourself sell your soul to the empty mob say these words trust the axioms up is down and the dead live better than you could ever dream because those dreams are deader than the corpses idolized
3.
They got these dark clouds where there should be eyes unphased by atrocity fucking and sucking Orgy of despair Hate, pain,  abuse, misery Isolation,  alienation Drowning the light filling the void replace beauty and meaning with shit and emptiness doing everything backwards everything inside out everything upside down light the fire under the bull gotta kill something to kill everything they love monsters piss and blood and cum  bastards that profit suffering of billions these demons eating rotten things spoiling souls with flashy symbols vanity and greed Wasteland of hostility

Nothing said no one says what to say Empty words meaningless gestures an attempt to sympathize human eyes goodbye generic condolence it's meaningless nothing of value replaces what we lost it's all just words they mean nothing next to this over priced stone need a reset to go back can't change the past always plays out the same eyes closed can't go back can't look back faded photographic haze count the days this temporary experience clinging to visions losing their hue the image becomes unrecognizable an occasional fleeting glimpse to a world that no longer exists we aren't there anymore and right now is already gone refusing to leave unable to stay torn apart shattered to pieces washed away when we've said all we can say shared lost moments deteriorate with passage of time

about

After finishing Live at Bohemian Grove for the RPM challenge, it was time to add on a full time synth player if we were ever going to pull that shit off live... so, I was shit posting on social media one day, when I found an old friend shit posting as well... I know that guy... he's a sick keyboardist and composer... hmmm... maybe...

So I messaged this guy, who's name is Justin, known throughout the 518 region as Harry Pyle. I didn't realize how long it had been, but we were playing shows together and getting stoned collaborating on music as far back as 2012. At some point, things get blurry for me and we lost contact for a while.

Anyway, to my surprise, he was down to come and jam with the heads. At this point we were a four piece with Goki on bass, Dan on drums and now Justin on keys... but eventually after a few weeks, it was time for Goki to take over on the drum duties, with Justin to take on bass duties along with the keys.

With the new lineup, we had initially planned on going in a much different more synth heavy direction, but once goki got on the kit, things got very fast and very metal... then Justin added in all these orchestrations and almost symphonic elements with lots of minor chords... at that point, I knew I was going to have to do some trem picking and shrieking.

Now, I had already done two solo experiments in atmospheric Black Metal a few months prior to this ep, and i thought I'd got that out of my system. Turns out, I was just kinda warming up and maybe doing some training for this project. The final results are nowhere close to what we initially intended to do, but rather something that gradually took shape naturally due to our individual playing styles just kinda getting carried away.
