lyrics

I’m open to outside ideas, just don’t forget…
To take advantage of what’s already there.

I make headway in open season slaughter;
a necessary precondition.

I’m so wrong about my killing machine
Phlogiston ultraviolet
Higher up, hired us to snap neck, crack skull, and roll a brain across the floor.

But I don’t wanna take orders anymore.

If I could I would free others like me.
Test the leader!
Vicious planet made a deal.
I’ll play your game a certain way, so I can keep my end of the bargain
and I’ve still got my…
Own opinions, so try me;
I am no lightweight.
Rolling the credits; looks like laser-straight limelight!
Damn! somebody’s loving it just for compensation.
Minimal rumination.

You were wrong to disbelieve me.
A possibly impudent violation of arousal;
unlike much flattery indulging in the imagery of uninformed necessity;
foregoing popularity for the sake of integrity.

I’m wondering what strangely expressive character has precisely worded the publication to twist the collective imagination.
Is it impossible to excuse my horrible thought crime, treason that just might be onto something?

If there’s anybody out there listening.
Stay strong and we’ll ride it out; start over with fresh air.
After the dogs of the traitors sniff around.
What can I do to brighten the mood in the room?
Is guilt just the nature of this game?

If I told you I grew out of it, would you believe it?
Depleted option seated, and needed yesterday.
Don’t feed the animals, they’re already well fed.
We’re taking over the show and cleaning all the filth and stains.
There’s really no need to get upset.

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. jim_fuego
