just a sandwich Emotional, melodic, technical, it checks all the boxes. Inspired metal that doesn't feel overproduced. Favorite track: Stargazers (Interlude).

Everyday beats me down Time is chipping away at my soul I have nothing left but hate in this cold dead heart Lying buried in a decaying body But I look to my friends they have always been there And always will be to keep me together With nothing, nothing but hot glue and hope Lying buried in a decaying body But I might just make it to the end with the help of my dearest friends I’m held together by their love I didn’t know I could live on hot glue and hope The only wisdom I can impart is to know You are never forsaken when you have hot glue and hope But I look to my friends, they have always been there And always will be to keep me together With nothing, nothing but hot glue and hope.

I’ve got faith in man! That he’ll fail at every turn I know because I have failed I have failed to uphold what is right I’ve tried to hope for a better world But my innocent idealism has been set straight Becoming so jaded Words cannot express my dissatisfaction We are capable of so much more Apparently it’s not attractive To have a conscience What happened to dignity? What happened to respect? The tree of life distorted and maligned This wickedness runs deep through the roots Without the light it cannot grow I must wash myself clean This rain will wash away my transgressions I must undo the wickedness in a sea of depravity Depravity
3.
I have come to the greatest realization of all No insult can be greater than to be compared to you humans It causes me more and more pain No greater disrespect can be paid Than to be compared to the likes of you I can’t believe the world I’m forced to watch every day This evil cannot last forever One day a real rain will come Not of water but of fire It will be as though the seven seals and seven trumpets were unleashed at once It will scour the planet Scourging the land of filth None will be left alive It will end the human reign upon the earth It will end the dominion of all life Survival is not possible The earth left sterile I will not weep for the human race This is the end of all hope This is exterminatus

They are here to take everything You are just a means to their end This monolith eats away at everything you fight for Stealing from the poor to give to themselves Stealing from the rich to lull the masses No longer needing approval They seek to fill their pockets They seek to control for your whole life Corporatism, nepotism, socialism, despotism Representation turned dictatorship The economic planners are planning your ruin. Dictating beliefs, a negation of truth Elected kings and queens Dictators of a new age Keeping their subjects under the influence Dulling their senses to the injustice No end in sight to their abuse Freedom now a myth We must fight back I am no man’s slave
6.
The corruption of goodness is not unique to one side The purity of your character is not defined by labels But by the decisions you make Those you degrade, disrespect, and abuse Will see you as no hero You say your side has the “truth” Well the truth is a dime a dozen If faith is outmoded by reason Why does it lead you to this treason? How can you not see the common thread? The human element marks our wickedness Not our beliefs but our corrupt existence The human stain on the face of the world Each person spreading their lies with a forked tongue Fighting intolerance with intolerance Stopping ignorance with thinly veiled hate Acceptance a fairy tale to help us sleep at night Oh how we wonder why progress never comes Love like life, cannot flourish mired in this human sewage Humanities proficiency in violating decency

I'm encompassed by fear Staring at the blank pages This chapter remains unwritten What do I dread more? Heartbreak on the pages Or that they remain blank Facing the adversity Will I rise? Or fall? Like so many others If these pages only reveal pain it’s enough Because at least I can feel something Ink the quill I'm not done yet

Matryoshka 04:24
Every day I crave to just be me But it’s a “me” I can never be I’ll forever be what they want me to be I’ll forever be what they see My will to survive, I strive to exist For that I must hide deep within myself I am still left behind I desire to peel away each false layer that they have made for me I desire to peel away what isn’t me Who I am is suffocating under layers of your lies I am trying to find the “me” that’s hidden deep inside Choking, the pressure builds inside These false layers can’t contain my rage I’m screaming so someone will hear my pain I’ll destroy everything I’m not Fueled by righteous anger I’ll become who I was meant to be Can’t contain my rage Can’t contain my hate
10.
Vitiator 04:46
I know where my heart lies Not in this false prophet Bringer of deceit Bent, crooked, vitiator First shall be white as light Bearing a bow to conquer all nations Not with actions but with words All will bow before him They shall rejoice in his victories Unthinking they will fall Unthinking they fall The red dawn comes With the sword he shall bear wrath upon the innocent Still the people adore the false one The one whose mouth is an open grave With the scales he shall measure Bringing famine and plague Bow to the unrighteous and you may feast Be true my dear brother the hour draws near Everything, everything goes Black (Unthinking they will fall) The face has grown pale (The red dawn comes) Death encompasses all (Bear true dear brothers) With the scythe he shall reap (The hour draws near) Reap the souls of those who refuse Refuse to see the real salvation
