Saurian Tail

Shadows reside within
They follow us like saurian tails
Overcome by cultures
Our lives were divided at birth
Native traits buried, denied
Cyclic patterns formed traditions
Forcing inhibitions
Shadows form, no exceptions
Ignorant to legacy
The concealed never goes away
Insensible persistency
The loathed element of your being
Has followed you relentlessly
As it triggers you, it becomes you
Dark thoughts persist to bury you
Incongruous traits
Consume your fate
Insane feelings attempting to restrain
Quiescent states cannot be maintained
Incongruous traits
Consume your fate
Polar states of mind tend to intertwine; invalidations
What you feel remains, in a state of strain, until you let it out
The despised section of your being will escape
It’s fate
The suppression is unsustainable
Recognize this nature
And thus the shadow exhumed

Catatonic Eyes
03:40
|

|
Still silent mind, vacant, at the plateau of development
Sick and tired, of being, being sick and tired
Rhythmic feelings beating to the cultural drum
Peaking waves of cravings that you can’t overcome
Exhausted with no time to equilibrate
Slaving to live and dwell in inebriated clouds
Emptied, a poisoned shell
Souls attempt to leave the ground
Circumstances never changing
Consequences never ending
A lost connection
No defined purpose, bereft of dreams
An induced coma
Oppressed, disempowered
The ghouls gather at night to prepare for the weak ingesting spirits; spiteful spirits
Resentful resurrections continue to repeat
Inverse patterns granting false balance
Never changing circumstances
Never ending consequences

Portrait of Symptoms
03:43

True intentions will be exposed
When the sources blend and resolve
In retrospect, it’s very apparent
Common evils are self-imposed
The common causes are ignored
It’s our voluntary degradation
Nature has a way of curing itself
The present reaps the burdens of our past
Why?
Our artificial cures only mask
Cascading effects convolute
The chemicals incompatible
Destabilized in disguise
Guise
Designed delicacies only halt progress
Cures to solve problems of problems; problems
Distorted
Visions
Sight
Plight
Many go insane, deranged, unable to break free
Nails that stand up always hammered back down
Native internal wars casted eerie projections
The hysteresis looping onward; entropy

Hollow Doors

|
|

They sit behind closed doors with an expectation of privacy
What lies behind those doors? Who are they and what are they conspiring?
The echoes can relay accidental messages
The echoes are giving us some hints and ideas
Intentions of preventing enlightenment; precluding fulfillment; keeping us from ascension
We don’t see what is going on in the background, but we can certainly sense all of the pulsation
Our thoughts and actions are indeed recorded in this framework
The masses wait at the shoreline, with no sight of this ocean’s end
Wavering minds promote deception
We wander in grayed out lands
They proceed in patterns
Energies unfiltered
Temples wasted in the absence of light
Subtle broadcasting of the reverberation

The Common Grave
07:08
|
|
||
|
Fear realized with silent breaths and engraved anxiety we return to consciousness
Through our times of temporary fruitful gains and absence of pain
We have become adversaries to each other, unnecessarily
Viewed as independent entities in separated families
Fending for ourselves in every way, with desires of prosperity
We have seemed to think we are independent
Obsessed with assets, with no charity
Until invisible evils, which affect us all, bring us down instantaneously
Revealing broken, lost, spirits; diseased
Effects realized; our common grave
Prosperity has come to an end
We request support
It is far too late
No new beginnings

The Shattered Temple

Having been raised, within convoluted schema, by artificial “intellects”…
I can’t take this anymore; our directors are our enemies
Don’t you feel restriction in the way we are prearranged?
I can’t take this anymore; our surrounding peers enemies
Don’t you see negation we won’t be escaping?
I can see prophesies taking place in the now
Living on false basis; our self-delusions
Unresponsive “intellects”
Convoluted schema
Promotes hardwiring
Distant oppression
I can’t take this anymore; convoluted schemes
I can’t take this anymore; our peers are our enemies
Don’t you see negation and we won’t escape?
Systematic disposal of reprogrammable nature
Natural growing resistance to change from the norm
Monotonic increases in the unchanged at age
Developed hardwired behaviors; disgusting; parasitic
The masses brain-dead machines

Could the fear of death be my only true fear?
The apprehension comes with unknowing
My fears are deeply rooted in the unknown
I tend to feed my anxiety with profound philosophies
I can’t seem to fathom
The possibility
I am in control
Of my reality, my reality
My fostered thought process
Has made me starve for truth
Once I think I understand
Again I’m shown I know nothing
I struggle to find serenity
The shifting divine vibrations
Are advancing my contemplations
Only growing my obsession
With my adaptation to environments
I am recognizing the parallels
Through assimilation of information
I am recognizing the parallels
The nothingness of being
The qualities of absence
The nothingness of existence
The qualities of absence
Chaos to order, order to chaos
Spirals perpetuate; zooming in and out
Chaos to order, order to chaos
Fractals perpetuate; yet it is all the same

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.
