What Keeps Us Here

They bleed us dry and play on our fears
Our lives; immeasurable pain
What keeps us here?
Bleed us dry, let us atrophy
But to what end?
There's not much time
Until the dead are all that's left behind
Inexorably guided by pain and fear
We are the decay
Work against our nature
Bleed us dry, let us atrophy
But to what end?
We, transparent shells attached by hollow assurances
Phantoms, shadows
Passing burden
The sound of cracking bones and pestilent marrow
The nightmare of being
Phantoms, shadows
Passing burden on
Veiled, self righteous superiority
(Bleed us dry)
They label everything as a crisis
(Atrophy)
It's a symptom of our time
(Of our time)
Business as usual, what keeps us here?
(Bleed us dry)

Exhaustive Perturbation

Standing // Broken
Transfixed // By the end
Frozen // Paralyzed
Resigning // From this plight
An aggregated calamity rendering non-sentience
Paralytic, heterogeneous, individual, world pain.
Powerless to overthrow
Complexities expanding beyond humanity's scope
Disquieting arrhythmia
Nauseating actuality
Parasitic to logic
Entropic, subsumed, with apathy
Bow my head
Abdicate this world
The solace of privilege
The first to fall

Torrent of Failure
05:57

Clearest sight
All blur removed
Precious visions
Torrent of failure
Ten thousand years
A lengthy test
With blatant solutions
All have been snuffed out
And it is clear
Just outcome known
At the precipice
Falling
Dust clouds
An exorcism
Victims of smoke inhalation
The problem of feeling nothing
Devoid of hope
Bitterness falls away
Those rips and tears
No desperate anxiety
All has gone the path of hope
Divinely put by those
Destroying without shame
Corruption is in our blood
Extinction at every turn
Feeling my soul drift away
All that was known, hope won’t sway
The last fall
Ceaseless suffering
Dismal reign
Bleak acceptance

Infatuation with consumption
Shall continue beyond man's spell
Into our reckoning and plummet
And intensify
Defile and despise
To deny
Mesmerized
With each revolution
(On this planet's axis)
Days become shorter
(Time loses meaning)
Inhumane conditioning
(Measuring our experience)
And finding it wanting
(Larceny of years)
A curse delivered returns again
A blatant collusion to suffer
The earth is too small for progression
Ritualistic devitalization
Losing sight from anticipation
Insatiable instant gratification
Centuries of pillage cannot slake civilization's gluttony
Gambit of man, burning malevolence
The path of sickness, decline
Advancement of sickness, decline
The path of sickness, decline
The path of sickness, decline

Chaotic Symbiosis
09:33
|

When we pass from this veil of tears
The earth shall remain
These matrices of suffering
Created by an epoch of egoism
Giving up our ancestral cowardice
A negation of our ritual destruction
An instinctual longing for a regeneration
A call for the removal of this plague
From our celestial oasis
Clawing at our skin
Hoping for excision
Gagging from this spreading malignancy
When lying beneath the umbriferous trees
It's easy to give in to passivity
Each day we awake with fevered anxiety
Sick with guilt
Our transgressions rooted in this chaotic symbiosis
