1.
Splitting the truth into two Deception wears only black and white Life’s precious flowers will never appear To you Untainted they bloom
2.
Affliction 04:41
A painful anomaly emerges Written off upon recognition Untouchable Steer clear, do not acknowledge Social werewolves Stained by stigma A clergy arises Clean, compliant, compassionless Ever vigilant to call out all transgressors Unable to touch upon your own darkness You cannot see the plagues you cast upon others Little do you know how deeply afflicted you are yourself
3.
Phantoms 05:04
Why is it that all you are able to do is take? Devouring everything for yourself Thinking nothing of that from which you feed What is it that makes this such a way to live? Is your situation actually one of need? Or have you merely learned to take your fill Whenever the opportunity presents itself? Demons Turning a blind eye to everything But your selfish fulfillment Phantoms lost and tangled in the weeds
4.
Liminal 05:53
Thresholds. borderlands, nightmares Dwelling places of transition Here creation dies in reverse Dawn recedes into the darkest of days Enigmas allure yet cease to compel In this, the furnace of fatality Where stark and starving shadows Descend (upon) stairwells Carving themselves out of existence
5.
Enslaver 04:05
Chains of comfort Shackle you in your place To dwell on the periphery of life Forces so real, yet non-existent they feel Too painful to look into the eyes of your enslaver
6.
Fortress 04:50
Mystery resides within Uncharted contours of mind Limitless layers of deception Shatter the gates of the self Like castles of sand Are your bastions of belief Built upon dreams Bedrock of dust Your relation with the course of life? To impose, prescribe, and solidify Fabrication upon fabrication (x3) Everything to protect yourself From a more full-blooded encounter Nothing is achieved by erecting pillars of truth In a boundless sea where form emerges and dissolves Moment by moment
7.
Like puppets without strings Manipulated from without Karmic enforcers, architects of impulse Bestow the inescapable energy of habit Our existential molding Born of countless causes and conditions And yet we speak of freedom I of mine, you of yours Missing the mark, entrapped we feel Liberation without a sense of what binds The parlance of freedom Is the parlance of dreams Lifeless ruins
8.
An edifice of composure Surrender to the ideals of culture Masks of death walk the streets What is it that needs to be concealed? Concealed? In a world where product rules the day What of the producer?
9.
Out 02:18
