Shattered Nerve

Plug myself in
Parse my brain and
Flood my mental with the thoughts of the collective mind
(MIND)
Let me feel what you’ve felt
I will relive all of mankind's tragedies and splendors
Posthaste
And experience back-to-back
Memories of how it feels
TO LIVE
(This is what we needed)
This is what we needed
This is The All
The consciousness
Let it permeate and influence our life
The All surrounds
The All surrounds us
Drag the lake and stoke the hivemind
Inhumanity’s reigns
Grasp the souls of those who have no love, compassion, candor, or pity to spare
What has this world become
The All

Panacea
02:34
|

Writhing
No escape
Die
Hopelessly
You’re vying
Against your mind
“Consequences or a suicide?”
“Looking forward to it - I will be fine”
Cyclic patterns left you blind
Elixir
Restore myself
To what once was
The paragon
(Paragon)
Blood
Weighted down
By the curse of regret
Neurons fail
Poison fills the veins
Lack of sense
Pieces fall into place
Vision turns dark
Self paralyzing
Penance
One final drop left
Crawling to salvation
Vanity cannot mend like before
Pervade me
But you can't break me down
A fickle thought
I’ll take my time
Unveil the former
I can’t close my eyes
To bear the past scars
Mirroring my blood’s woes
Concede
Torturous perception
Endlessly purifies me
Purify me
Cleanse this fucking timeline
I’ve lost my self control
Cleanse this fucking timeline
I’ve lost my self control
(Let go)
This the last time
this is the last...
(I swear)
This the last this the time… this is the last
This is the last time, this is the last…I swear

Larvae
In the grand scheme
Yet ego smears the lines of confined lives
Blurry
Now your own reflection
Is that of a god
Encased in pretense
You disregard the brevity
Hung from a low branch
Embellished world of delusion
A God of no thing
The flora will thrive
Broke from the true path
The stunted growth apparent
Broke from the true path
The fucking God of Nothing
Set the world free

Second Sight
01:40
|
|||
Show me now
How profound
I will prove to be
Conjure all the things you saw
Prove my worth
Enlighten me
Immortalize me
Carry on but all is not to covet
Spare me
Take my sight away
Give me a knife to hold
Give me a clean slate
Give me a knife to hold
Give me a clean slate
Take my sight

An Equivalent Exchange
03:47
|
|||
I’m strapped to death at the bottom
(Of it all)
Drifting through this life as a ghost
(Just a vagrant with nowhere to go)
I need to know
How to overcome perpetual hell
I need to know
(I need to know)
They came to me as if by fate
Forbidden texts that vow to help
Pull me back up from this pit of destitution
Is this really what it’s going to take?
Killing to save my soul?
I need to push on
Twenty bodies dead
Blood is offered
No turning back
I feel my soul twisting as the magick expands
The pain has changed me
And made me anew
I’ve made it through
Pockets lined with the blood money
But I can tell, it’s not right
My mental state and my body wilt and rot
Disintegrate and deteriorate
Greed is a horrid beast
It turned my gold heart black and
Ground my psyche into epistemic dust
It is the gasoline that
Set my worthless life ablaze
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a furtive, covetous snake
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a furtive, covetous snake
Trying to pay for life, but it has no price
Suffocate me, and please don’t feel pity
Trying to pay for life, but it has no price
Euthanize me, and please don’t feel pity
It’s not the key to everything
You don’t need it to thrive
Reassess and redo
Wipe the slate clean, revise
And see what life is like without the shackles of debt
Eat the rich and sow a new life with their fucking blood
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a furtive, covetous snake
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a furtive, covetous snake
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a furtive, covetous snake
I know I’m not the only one
Who’s not a motherfucking snake

Get your eyes on me
Cast aside everything
Give me more
Power, money, and time
I’m all you’ll ever need
Cede
Now
I will be revered
Give it up
Imbue me with divinity
Give it up
I am your god
Give it up
You’ll never abnegate
Don’t give a fuck about you now
Now you will
Tell them all to join me
And all you abject peons
Will Acquiesce
Obey
Obey
My new believer
(Obey, obey)
(Obey, obey)
I bring life
I bring death
Obey
Obey
My new believer
Obey
Obey
My new believer
I will be revered
I will be

Beyond The Veil
04:21
|
|||
That ancient phrase
Fell from my mouth
Ears closed from critique
Failed offering
The hubris seized
Its grasp inside
Stubborn campaign
I set my sights
“Death, hear me now.”
I’ve got a bargain
Grant me access
(Feeble mind)
To see
(Broken soul)
The life beyond here
(Ungrateful)
In exchange for
(Blinded by)
A few
(Existential dread)
Years from my life
(Won’t come back)
A just offer
(Futile)
To get
(A glimpse into)
past the veil
(I can't)
I know my worth
(Tell you)
I am
(About this)
Irrefutable
With your case made
I shall accommodate,
Deluminate
The Light left me
In every sense
An endless void
Doth give me life
Forced to push on
Without escape
True reckoning
Curse of hindsight
Null

Lacerate
Give me one more cut
Saw through
(How cruel they laugh)
My bones
Serration dulled from the others
This pain will not last forever
Another blade shattered
Another nerve severed
Ritual torment
Now I can feel nothing but hate
I’m starting to forget my ideals
How you’ll rethink
When I grasp the blade
And reciprocate what was given
Repent
When I sink that blade
Again and again and again
And again
And again
And again
Vicious cycle
Will never be deciphered
Am I the fool?
With all the thoughts abandoned
I’ll let Animus flow through me
This form, never could it stop
When it's awakened
How these resting thoughts
Spare you from your fate
Till then
Keep your distance
Perception slowly fragments
I’ve become aware of my waking misdeeds
All this time, I thought we were disjointed
Goddamn, I’m not alone
As these nights
They scream in daylight
And then they blanket us
Like we have never had our eyes for sight
And now
And now we lie blind
But the glow from their burning bodies will keep me warm when my smile dies
Question this existence
Nothing to recover
Everybody tends to be the same
How cruel they laugh
You can’t keep
(With a voice so weak)
Your distance, cause you
(With a voice so weak)
Don’t know who I am
(With a voice so weak)
Can’t keep your distance
With a voice so weak

Every Word Erased
01:50
|
|||
They’re all gone
Ripped from my being
Razed and lost forever
Seek the truth
(Seek the truth)
Break the sequence
(Break)
Open Up
(Up)
Break the sequence
Censored
Disproven
Vilified
My image
Immortalized
As a demagogue
Oppressive filth
Seek the truth
(Seek the truth)
Break the sequence
(Break)
Open up
Arbiter of reality
Suppress
And guard them
You try to silence
But the truth will rear its head

Pry
03:13
|
|||
A naive imbecile
Shallow, an incredulous visionary
Prey upon shattered minds
If you want to analyze
Pry it open
Reach into the depths
Feel my hate
Pull it from the womb
Spew it forth
Capitulate and mortify
(Mortify)
Crush the fucking skull,
Crush the fucking skull
Tear skin from the bone
Pull limb from limb
Remove the gift of sight
Sever all the ties
Crush the fucking skull,
Crush the fucking skull
Oh, I can’t breathe
I don’t care
Lacerate
Lie in anguish, petrified
Come see it, all of it
My soul laid bare
I don’t want it back
It’s your last chance to leave
So tell me
Do you understand it?
You
You don’t
Feel pain like me
You
You don’t
Feel pain like me
Don’t feel the pain like I do
You don’t know and I told you so
You don’t feel pain like I do and you never will

Show
Show us
How you
Shatter
Come on, you saint
Won’t you grace us with those
Feeble thoughts up your sleeve
Just another false god
Reveal them, please
Absolved
Cracked faces shone
What will it take for you to fucking see
The fragility of your fallacies
You’d be the first to sell us down the river
Plaster saint
Crumble and fragment
No respect
Nothing left
Now burn
Consecrate the remains
Consecrate the remains
Burn the hypocrites
Bury them in shit
Fallacies silenced
Kill the counterfeit
The fragility
Of your fallacies
Separate your words
From reality
Behold the plaster saint
Burn them alive
Turn them to dust
Don’t believe them
Don’t believe

Symbiote Reborn
03:09
|

The eidolon
The one I strive to be
I will usurp your spirit and turn it into mine, finally
Farewell
You’ve done all the work
(I can’t believe)
The time has come to execute
Left to rot
Lost to the past
You and I, my brother, will be reborn
As one
And now I’ll have my chance to live life in the limelight
That’s all you were to me
Means to an end
Your memory
Will dwell in a new vessel more worthy
Oh, farewell, my analogue
The reigns are in my hands now
And every day, I grow the empire
I admired
And stole from you
I can’t believe
Your life is mine
I can’t believe it’s mine
I can’t believe
I’d like to thank you, sibling
For all you’ve done
In building up
A life worth living
It’s all mine

A Divine Recalibration
03:43
|
|||
Disconnect
Vision reclaimed
(For now)
Conscious mistakes
I let this
(Room consume me)
Forcing me
(To confront it)
The affliction
But the worst has yet to come
All that was perceived
All of the senseless depravity
Hopeless undertaking
Inarticulate,
Aimless existence
I can’t understand
(Aimless existence I can't)
Try and come to terms with
The true purpose
Self-confidence cloaks
Apparent mistakes
Yet time will pervade
Yet time will pervade
Human error
Flows endlessly
But the scales balanced
The scales balanced
Time will correct
Time will correct us all
Despite this
We push on
(Cyclic absurdity)
Venturing into the unknown
Every step leads us to
(Every step leads us to)
The True Path
