So I am of two minds
Maybe the rose colored glass has worn off
into the sunset

Father

Potential loss behind
Screaming bloody murder
Like masochists
Their minds assailed
Claiming what they can of life
They parsimoniously stake their claim on death
In honor of that which came
To know that which we do not
to see that which we cannot see
I am a martyr and I am your father
I am your only hope
Feel me in your life: feel my sight

Defended or not
Its your lack of struggle that concerns me
Tetragrammations aside,
there is hope

Shaking grasping finitude
in this moment I am silent
Open open open open open gate
Silent (father come for us)
Silent (father don't leave us)
Silent (father come for us)
The gates have shut
And I am still outside
(All good deeds for naught)
Am I destined for Gehenna?
(All good thoughts for naught)
Thrown to the lake of fire
(A good life for naught)
What sort of choice

Someday's come true
Misguided attempts to goad and commune
Praise be
Praise me
Love me hate me
Name me
We wrestle with you
Never do we think

By Fire

My threats are not so idle as to stand unchecked
Fear me for I am your god
Come to me
despite my words
I will show forgiveness to all who kneel
Never again by water
Perhaps again with fire
"and we'll all wake up one day"
In a bed that isn't ours
stolen from our loves
Hoping to go home, but we won't
Imprisoned by our thoughts...
(someday)
Hoping for something more...
(someday)
Giving up our lives for you
(someday)
we will love, we will be loved

Your Loss
02:34
|

|
Answers so hard to come by
Taunting tiny white lies
For the mind
Save yourself
Sow your seed
Sell yourself
Feed me meat
There's something shiny
at the bottom of a pit of snake charmers
I promised so much
And I wanted to be something more, but I'm not
Getting my wish
I held out hope for so long
That the garden would return
Come child, you're undone
my doing
Do it anyway
Your loss
If you're lost, your loss.
Be gone

Vultures
feed- (chewing hair and bone) -ing
on (worse than dirt they still eat)
rot
There is a feast of meat
For those that renounce their beaks
Show me your teeth
Eat not spoiled meat
Eat not like the dogs
You are like the yeast
That that's dead let be
Don't think that I am without guilt [for my words]
"I am with you"
So he says
Every day, every night
You still watch
Every moment worth a damn
You're still "here"
There He is
Nonsense
No, what freedom is that?
Nothing hidden?
Nothing square.
Don't love your master for your own carrot
Don't love his stick, prisoner

Cheap Zen

Oh little one you act as if unseen
When noticed, you seem to fade
The square of my vision begins to bend
The corners multiply
And I am left without a thought for what I could have meant
Oh loved one I am lost and I am without a vision
I know not what I know and nothing seems like my sentence
And I am without a burden or a care
And I'm without a hope in the world
Every thrown stone flowing out of myself and I've lost the will
Colors that reverberate and change into the synesthetic equivalent of the one that is mine
Didn't you say that the pieces fit?
Circles occlude my sight
and I'm powerless to recede
My vision, my sight
Oh, inner vision
Darkness aberrates
I surrender, I surrender
My soul.

Tired Flock recommends:
Neon Overlord
by Porn For Borgs
You want to get weird? This dude is a legit robot. Busting out his trans-human funk that echoes of the past's future, PFB sounds like an HK-47 mated with Flock of Seagulls, and Missing Persons
go to album
I've only just found these guys, but I wholly appreciate their melding of technicality with nerd-rock melodicism. Everything fits, sounds great, and is quite impressive: how math rock should be.
go to album
This album breaks the confines of metalcore and branches into bludgeoning sludge broken by fast, immensely technical, beatdowns. This one is up there with the best metalcore albums ever made.
