Stuck in a rut
but hey it's only getting deeper by the hour
and each NEW LITTLE CUT is just a memory
to lick numb
until your deaf, dumb, and blinded by the lights
There's a flicker going on... and the lightning's envious
of the charade inside
Indoors, we're painting pictures of oceans trying to dive in and swim
Far, far, far, far away but the STRANGLES AND THE RIPTIDE WON'T LET GO
the door's a lock and I've swallowed the key-- you can cut me open for it!
SO
STRETCH ME WIDE, SO WIDE, SO WIDE, SO WIDE
So, cover the horizon, eclipse the sunlight
WAVE MY SKIN LIKE A JOLLY RODGER
and offer the happy-ones good quarter
and in the off-time we'll nurse the poison just to kill the memory
and maybe ONE DAY it'll be alright, I'll open my mouth and the words will flow
and ONE DAY, you'll hear, and I'll be there, with arms so wide, so wide, oh so wide
It will all fit in this little velvet box that sits in the corner of my shelf
where I’ll dust it daily and pray that my hope never goes stale again

Thoughts creep to bag my head
tie my ankles bind my hands
make my sternum clap
as I walk the plank, I skip into the river
Bound, broken, nothing can bring me
Further from here.
The bottom is the bottom; lower ground is gone
if I keep my head, the thoughts will lose.
Seams give.
When the bitter taints your tongue
and the lights blind your eyes
it will silently move around you
and settle into the dark
YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE IT WHEN YOU WAKE
you can trust me on that.
You can try to run, but it'll grab at your ankles
and drag you to its den
once you fall.
I've drowned in my use again
covered in gashes from what I’ve done
some things you can never put down
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out.

I'm sorry
I really don't know what came over me
(you keep telling yourself this)
I just can't do this anymore
just please forgive me, I'm so sorry
I really mean it.
(I'll be better)
You should just let me.
You should just let me.
You should just let me.
YOU DON'T EVER BELIEVE ME
I mean, just let me.
Yep! because you just don't trust me-- I'm sick of it!
Fine! I'll be better. I'll try my best.
I am the way out
I'll Just be better
If you leave me alone, I'll be better.
It's clear.
I'll be right as rain.
There's no way out of here
But through
my aid.

Meager existence
(nowhere you can turn when it's all around you)
It's the things you think to yourself
when you don't really wanna talk to anyone else
that are especially scary...
While everything around you burns.
All you can remember is another betrayal, after betrayal, after betrayal
Who do you have to trust? There's no one.
Because
Everyone has a knife and your back is an open target
Bleed like me.
Of all the things I remember you claimed
I can't believe you'd say that about me
that your heart bleeds redder than mine?
I'm a complete man-- you're insane!
But in the end... No.
You like to throw around words without any heart in them
You think you're so unique; better than I could ever be
You claim I'm nothing, that nothing I do is hard
but at least I don't sleep around and over think my job.
Every time you come around, I just don't know
How to behave, what to say, to make you go.
And I didn't know what to say then but I know what to say now:
I invented monsters, you're a monster, I control you forever, anyhow!
Get in the fire.
You never saw it coming.
(In the Battlespace)
Here, I'll make it simple:
if you step forward, I'll step forward
then you'll see, where we'll be, with your blood, all over me!
I don't care what you think, THIS IS HOW IT IS:
IN THIS NEW WORLD, WHERE EVERYTHING BURNS,
EVERYTHING BURNS INCLUDING YOU AND ME.
And I will see it fall apart and revel in all the spoils
Because I am not thinking through what my role is anymore.
I'm out for blood; I'm a cut-throat, and I don't care anymore.
Because the more you throw down I will stand up and
rip out your fucking throat.
(burning)
I mean it.

They're here, pill-mill, thrown doors
dollar bill, nosebleed, into the mouth.
Drip
scary how everything shakes
I'm staying dead awake
forever
I think there's not enough words
to make thoughts into your language
Oh, those around all can see
there's a tell around my mouth
I'm chalk white speaking
In the end I shiver alone
pretending there was once a point
That something left was something good....
I cycle - scattered.

Hold my breath to the break point
this still movement
this disappearing act
see the sea... gripping me...
I can see the bleak
I can feel the green
I can see the grip
I know what's going on
I do this to myself
It's like losing a fucking limb
but watching it fall off
piece by piece by piece
by piece
I can't keep you safe
you can't keep me sane
you can't keep me safe
I can't keep me sane.

hey man!
hey?
are you down here?
where are you?
are you alright?
can hear me?
What are you doing?
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS NOW?
Answer me!
answer me!
Hello, are you in there?
I'd slap you dead right now (I would)
Wake up, please, Wake up, please,
The cops will wreck all your shit
The cops will wreck all your shit.
What are you leaving behind
Why are you doing this now?
You never needed this again
There are better choices than this
There were better options than this!
HOLD ON
WAKE UP
(you're being lied to, this isn't real, this all a lie, man, you need to come back, you're being lied to, this is all lie, please don't please don't)

Fuck it. There might be a story here...
Surrounded by green, it doesn't even
feel like things are how they seem.
I can lose myself
in these waves of leaves.
The sound of water enveloping me.
The birds above
The life below
The peace I find, the peace I know.
just watching things fly.
The sounds, the smell, the world, of my soul.
Make me hurt
Make ME HURT
Make it hurt
I make it hurt
You can see what I hide from.
Make it hurt
Make it hurt!
Make me hurt, please make me hurt!
Make me hurt! (it doesn't matter)
Make you hurt!
Make you hurt! (it doesn't matter)
Make me hurt! Make you hurt!
Go back and plug in.
The news of the world is that all is your fault.
Everything comes around for a piece of your flesh.
Click, click, click, scroll into the abyss.

there it spreads bleeding through
against you splintering white
knowing now
you're not alone
you're not alone
you shall punish them, philosopher and charlatan
night-gaunts of insignificance
all will fall
let it take you, endless collapse, rotting through: literal disease, oh
Never wake, burn never outward. collapse down-- I conquer.
fascinating and terrible self-annihilation
I am the weight; I am now bending the floor boards
my words will break through your walls, my word will break through your wall
your will is out in the street and your head will be forever mine.
I shall use you.
I will hurt you
I will throw you over get behind you again behind you again.

Oh...
In the summer I shattered
hard to the floor.
Before I could stomach
I had your excuses to bear
you think I come to you but you have come for me
so much
Everything gets lost, everything gets returned?
Everything gets lost, everything’s returned
Why don't you get lost?
And please never return.
(killed so many dreams...)

It was me and a Marine
With a lion on his chest
And I couldn’t back away
With his hands down my pants
I shivered and no one helped
And I died and he pushed
And I broke and I couldn’t get out
No one cared
No one helped
No one cares
No one cares
Help.

Nahja Mora recommends:
Love & Debauchery
by Precision Field
our dear fallen brother's magnum opus. It is an epic tragedy of electronic music. tangible spirit.

Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year.

The Chicago group’s latest is a study of disintegrating relationships over a commanding motorik chug.
