lyrics

Knocking, heavily on the front door.
Raising tension, who are you?
Candles extinguished, and then smoke.
Instability in the moment is no good.
Chingada well-dressed appearance for a plane Jane.

Switch the shot to money constraints that call to my name appearing.
Well excuse me, but I’m on no one’s side, I just want the good life.
Can’t believe it’s a crime, I can’t believe it!
You report me to your guards and give me judgment?!
I admit that I like a little music in the times between war and peace.
And as for comfort, sometimes I let it win.
Don’t you remember me?
I’m rich gains you can trust.
I’m God’s truth and I don’t need to say that I’m sorry.
Trust enough and tell all excitedly but how did you know?
I live a life of karma swift and fair?

Quiet and perfect in a way.

The mind blowing component blown.
A slippery slope omen brags about
Borrowed time on a high interest loan.
This form of consolidation will cause an immediate, drastic improvement…Or so I’m told!
Figure it out!

So just switch the blade to my neck and cut straight; prove to my peers appealing.
My life is a world of laughs; I exist to split sides!
Live-streamed online, would you believe it?
I’ve been dealt this hand of cards.
I’m vindicated by the highest bias that…

Tied me up from the inside out and tightened the belt.
And the means to the ends reject my appeal to cease breath.

The banality of this punishment…
Is not just a delusion but the dreams of torturers who sugar-coat their work to be palatable to the mouth of their foes.
But so sour in their stomach.

POISON
This shell is my home.

Situation is uncomfortable but more stable.
No place to look but shadows on my wall.

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
