1.	Aftertaste 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Wanderer, where will you go? It slithers in my throat Refusing to come out. There is nothing I can do to erase the pain I’ve caused for you. All I see is darkness now The spite I shelter, The light I left behind. Exhale the rope around its neck Scars left in their mouth from The Feeding While strength isn’t all Without it life has no meaning I will prove I’m worthy of me All I see is darkness now Where will you go, once I have taken your home? All I see is darkness now Where will you go? Do you know you’re alone? All I see is darkness now And when the end comes I will not know the difference Tears of glass shatter on the ground. Screaming fears only add to the dissonance Force fed the ashes of the embers that I used to be. Searching the corpse for the light that I will never find. What I find nauseates me, I am disgusted.
2.	Schism 02:05	lyrics	buy track
Hopelessly roving in the halls of my own dread. Conflict worn on every inch of this broken shell. Descend to rage against the voice that brings me awake, It screams and I scream back. Willingly slip away from sanity, Splitting my mind in two. Bury the memory as far as I can dig. Blood everywhere. Smell won’t come out. Relief is out of reach, Once taken will never be returned What have you done? Consciousness breaking in half Under uncommon acute distress. Malevolent intent realized, What’s left to do with the pieces? Reap what I have sown. Force myself to eat this bitter fruit or not at all. Fill this emptiness with pain, Swallow the fire until I’m whole.
3.	Caustic Revision 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Etched in bone to hide from prying eyes. Once it is taken it will never return to you. Let the words leave your mouth and bend to my will. Succumb with or without your senses and sanity. Knowledge is cleansed with wild instinct and ferocity. Parasites take properties of their hosts Unloving symbiosis. Here lies the bastard whose memory has eluded me. We are born. We consume. We become. Claw at the earth to reclaim what you once were. Vindication will not be found, Absolution isn’t given so freely. Futility in the attempt to search to find yourself. Imagine your horror once you do. Liberated from the weight of knowing. An even exchange to balance the scale. Become anathema. Wind howls your new name, Insidious deception Tear through your consciousness until there’s nothing left. Here lies the bastard child whose memory has eluded me. We are born. We consume. We become. Bury your name under your skin. Awareness replaced.
4.	Vagrancy 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Out in the cold, Squalor eats away at the soul. Voracious hunger, Existing at the fringe. As they bleed the world dry, You’ve been forgotten Alongside the rats. Left to the jaws of destitution. Past the edge of society, Hidden from God. Justify negligence of our kind. Inherit trauma Which we’ll use to forge the blade That cuts the hands off that would feed them. Take what you are owed, Leave nothing for the pigs. Cut off the hands of the ones who would feed them. Violent dissent. Once you taste the blood of your oppressor You will not stop. Beyond redemption, Feel not for your enemy, They will not feel for you. They do not feel for you. Follow the hunger in your very bones To the throne of the strong. There is only one god, His name is Mammon. I am going to help you. I will show you how to leave this place forever.
