lyrics
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
(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

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

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan.
