I can feel the cracks in this masquerade
Absorbing to conform, surely I’m going insane
Are these consignments, so defining
I can’t live my own ways?
Or is this the only thing cementing my name
I saw the instance, I was going insane
Drifting to the deep, letting conscious slip away
No control of unknown, ignorance is bliss we were told
Weep for yourself, I will not be a construct
No control of unknown, ignorance is bliss we were told
Weep for yourself, I will not be a construct
Composure an endless rehearsal
When your mind is searching for paradigms
Bring all of your debts to the surface
And trust that you will survive this time
Despaired reality renders my thoughts unclear
These vacant faces they all just glare
Seeking the solace here in this affair
Why cant i drown in elation
Paranoid, I'm locked in this bitter state
With nothing void, why do i feel this way
Only one brain controlling the habits, disastrous
Maybe well embrace reactions
Maybe we’ll evolve from madness
But sharing is a loaded fragment, relax kid
Overthinking yourself to ransom, abandon
Taming reality just to break from the static
Locked in this bitter state
Why do we feel this way
maybe well embrace reactions
Maybe we’ll evolve from madness
Intoxicated breaks make my delusions real
This inquisition will not avail
There's no foundation here to awaken the idea
Why can't I drown in elation
Paranoid, I'm locked in this bitter state
With nothing void, why do i feel this way
Push these thoughts up the hill
Bottle it all up
Does hiding from these voices
Make you feel alive
Or could you confide
Tell me do you feel alive
Or could you confide

Separate the established
Reveled only in anguish
While we live oh so lavish
We had status quo
We march against the chariot
We are proletariat
You will no longer bury us
Seize the mean that hold
We made a deal that we would bring out the answers
But not I realize we gave power to monsters
Your dream for liberation as cowards is flawed
Degradation will swallow you burning us all
How could you stab my back
After the months we've had
A second chance to last
Or be plundered
This disillusions real
You will not let them heal
You are a tyrant
Your fucking Usurper
Disarm and Fail
You are the warlords you reap all that you sow
Bloods all spilled
With eyes to aggrandize your vices will soon be known
Cast out the feeble
They all will know evil
There will be upheaval
Your lacking a figurehead
Hammer and sickle
Brings out all the fickle
You will be the crippled
The monarchy's dead
Id Bellum
Cast Aside
All these allies are swine
They're poisonous
They re cowardous
They will all divide because of their pride
Hammer and sickle
Brings out all the fickle
Cast out the feeble
You all will know evil
There will be upheavel
You will be the crippled
Read between the lines
Disarm and Fail
You are the warlords you reap all that you sow
Bloods all spilled
With eyes to aggrandize your vices will soon be known
I can't believe just how much you deceive
Your virtuous character's merely a parable
Your so naive, the only thing you'll achieve
Is a nation of animals feeding like cannibals
We are your demise
Feed millions to the fly's
These splinters split the sky
While flesh burns to delight
Let blood rain down
To drown your lies

The path is unwinding
Haunting intrusively
Diverge from the lying
That brings me tranquility
These motions are different
It's fueled by the angst you seek
Encouraged addiction
To look past the truth in me
So cast out these bones
Make me feel clean
Drive out the demons that make me believe
Show me whats right forsaken i bleed
Why can't you leave me stuck in a dream
Am I discerning
I no longer notice weeks
But eras keep turning
And they all feel so oblique
This isn't the deal
I never gave into greed
I will never kneel
Your ideal will not bury me
So cast out these bones
Make me feel clean
Drive out the demons that make me believe
Show me whats right forsaken i bleed
Why can't you leave me stuck in a dream
Close your eyes
Wait for the sunrise
Cold nights die
We leave only goodbyes
No longer i notice weeks
Never hearing the words speak
These eras they turn my cheek
Moments passed i no longer seek
Close your eyes
Wait for the sunrise
Cold nights die
We leave only goodbyes

This album is easily a TAB (they’re all bangers). every song just goes so hard and some of my favorite lyrics, especially in nocturne: lost faith. The guitar is phenomenal like usual and the drums are amazing. Probably my second favorite album of all time (first is mothership by dgd).

Sundered
by Where The Waves Are Born
Scalding metalcore from Spain, “Where the Waves Are Born” swings from clean to growled vocals over blindingly intricate fretwork.

Coup De Gráce
by SeeYouSpaceCowboy...
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries.

The Body Is A Burden
by Tired Minds
Another satisfying dose of metallic, sludgy melodic post-hardcore from the Newcastle, Australia-based outfit.
