(Actualizing Consciousness of Internal Disillusionment) Featuring Andy Knight of O.M.A.A.F.
lyrics
Everything is mundane, and I think it's time to say
Fuck it
Life has grown stale, and it makes me hate these dreadful days
This will show you living if you're prepared for what you're doing
Take a strip and wait for the trip
If you think you're ready for it
This is just the start
Crashing like waves as I begin my escape into an altered mind state
Breaking away from a society bound and built by hate
Deconstructing everything I've ever known
The answers to everything we seek lies within the core of our bones
But beware of the fakes, and for those who are afraid of what they know
Contort your mind
Better your life
Open your eyes
You're not fucking blind
Release reality
The walls awaken from their ancient slumber,
Whispering of an insatiable hunger
Am I one with them, I wonder?
Or are they one with me?
Breaking the boundaries, a figure beckons me
"Release me"
Calling my name in unfamiliar tongues
Reality has shifted,
or should I say exposed?
The underlying truth behind everything we know
This train is off its course, crashing through every memory so coarse
Revisions of the past block out everything in my path
But who is the man in the black mask?
Down the rabbit hole and it's far too late
The wind brings a warning of a grave mistake
Take me to a distant landscape
Anywhere but where I currently lay
Take me far away
God help me
What have I done
I wasn't ready
For what this would become
Social construct dissolved and biases relieved
Dissection begins of all that I believe
A mind set free
I see the beauty in things we can't normally perceive
I've become one with braving the surf, so it seems
Commanding my inner self through the anomalies that have become the norm
Relief lasts as long as smooth seas, for this is just the eye of the storm.
Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner
