The Absence
Album • 2018
[Lead Taylor] All along these spiraling lines We tread on narrow paths unpaved Worn through a world of wounds Severing souls in desperate search Passed these well known walls We all long to satiate While dissipating bonds will break Inspired minds transcend the void Beyond our resignation We reclaim the flame Together in eternal return We re-incinerate Erupt the heavens ablaze The forging A spark within the pale The forging A thundering hammer to nail The forging Awaken your binding fate Now prepare for the forging Combine your lives and create Housed in the glow of impended muse Where the corners always connect Totality attaining final form Flawless & imperfect Within this recognition We reclaim the flame Together in eternal return We re-incinerate and burn Erupt the heavens ablaze Now. Prepare... [Lead Taylor] From the forced I Refrain Within the unorthodox I Remain Amidst dark days now sustained Within the mending tombs of Unflagging putrid lore I find a welcoming dissonance In this cavernous roar [Leads Taylor/Joey] The forging A spark within the pale The forging A thundering hammer to nail The forging Awaken your binding fate now prepare for the forging Reclaim the flame Erupt the heavens ablaze Combine/Create

I am held high by the wings of ascension Where my desires remain unplagued by the abysmal embodiment Of your penitent crusade Within a debased existence The ravenous still exists For a ceaseless feast in lucid life Reflected in the mental Reverence I must seperate What I think from what I know To the warmth of mind A dynamic in desperate need Rooted rings of balance Come to me To the warmth of mind Renewed in vibrancy Illuminate this negative space My thought and memory [Lead Taylor] I abnegate to tread undone To the gallows of half lived lives Mentalities in non-expanse No longer sacrificed In the luminance of recollection I must seperate what I see From what I know To the warmth of mind A dynamic in desperate need Rooted rings of balance Come to me To the warmth of mind Renewed in vibrancy Illuminate this negative space My thought and memory Your boundless breadths of fortune Vain in desolate hues Scabbed to these obscuring walls I pity you in your solitude [Lead Taylor] To the warmth of mind A dynamic in desperate need Rooted rings of balance Come to me To the warmth of mind Renewed in vibrancy Illuminate this negative space My thought and memory Rooted rings Come to me These obsidian wings Come to me Thought & Memory

I come to life Imprisoned in an astral sea Thrust into a panoramic That blackens endlessly The frozen gaze of seamless space fills my eyes As the strands of serenity snap My thinning mental, horrified Lost in Celestial hysteria Gripped by the drift of lifeless steel & glass Spn into the gaping mouth of infinite lonliness So I plunge encapsulated Swallowed by the yawning void Remains of life masticated Sanity Devoured Every drop of patience evaporated Now my mind is freed from the fibers of life Absorbed by the abyss Doomed to dementia In solitude I am left adrift Celestial hysteria Lost in Celestial hysteria The time unknown burns within my lungs While seconds flicker into minutes And days enslave into months Still I plunge encapsulated Swallowed by the yawning void Remains of life masticated Sanity devoured alive Every drop of patience Evaporated & Destroyed Mow my mind is freed from The function of life Absorbed by the abyss Doomed to dementia In solitude I am left adrift Death cannot come quick enough Absorbed by the abyss Doomed to dementia In solitude I am left adrift Celestial hysteria Years beyond all relative time Within this wall-less catacomb Reality implodes my mind From all humanity i am widowed [Leads Joey/Taylor] Absorbed by the abyss Doomed to dementia In solitude I am left adrift Forever lost in Celestial hysteria

[Lead Joey] Silent skies explode For the reavers of hallowed faith Now watch their bitter convictions twist As you walk into the waking flame Incinerate yourself In unindoctrination of the soul [Lead Taylor] Slumbering chains are corroding away Like a nightmare in sudden disrupt Gone from an ill-righteous plague Of a codex penned in impotent blood The divine intrusion Messiah contaminate Virtues collapse while their Convictions abnegate The divine intrusion Cross contaminants The alpha illusion Omegas extinct For thine life everlasting No kingdoms come Buried in Psalms of dirt Wasted remnants rot forgotten [Lead Joey] The divine intrusion Messiah contaminate Virtues collapse while their Convictions abnegate The divine intrusion Cross contaminants The alpha illusion Omegas extinct Incinerate yourself

We are all summoned to the summits of woe Identities disembodied on serrated slopes Ascend and abstain these monuments of finite life Dark paths reach out and then divide While crippled refusals increase in size Ill-knotted and tied to pain Beyond your peace of mind (Your peace of mind) You were born to be boundless Built without retaining walls Thrust into this gaping life Smothered with a thousand grains of salt Fear of existence Near death surrender of soul Old wounds re-crimson In silent sorrow... The re-crimsoning In fear of existence Old wounds are re-crimsoning Re-crimsoning [Leads Joey/Taylor] Your pains will peak while old wounds mend Into ascending flesh embossed with scars so red Each halted moment in fear of... Crushed into a blizzard of dust You were born to be boundless Built without restraining walls Thrust into this gaping life Sealed with a thousand grains of salt Fear of existence Near death surrender of soul Old wounds re-crimson In silent scarification now Fear of existence old wounds re-crimson

What the hell's going on around here? First off-let's take it from the start Straight out-can't change what's in my heart No one-can tear my beliefs apart, you can't bring me You ain't-never seen no one like me Prevail-regardless what the cost might be Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me Never-fall as long as I try Refuse-to be part of your lie Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me You can't bring me down! Who the hell you calling crazy? You wouldn't know what crazy was if Charles Manson ...was eating Fruit Loops on your front porch Time out-let's get something clear I speak-more truth than you want to hear Scapegoat-to cover up your fear, you can't bring me You ain't-never seen so much might Fight for-what I know is right What up-you got yourself a fight, you can't bring me Stand up-we'll all sing along Together-ain't nothin' as strong Won't quit-we ain't in the wrong, you can't bring me You can't bring me down! So why you trying to bring me So why you trying to bring Well you can't bring me down Just cause you don't understand what's going on ...don't mean it don't make no sense And just cause you don't like it, ...don't mean it ain't no good And let me tell you something Before you go taking a walk in my world, ...you better take a look at the real world Cause this ain't no Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Can you say "feel like shit?" Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit I ain't happy about it, but I'd rather feel like shit ...than be full of shit! And if I offended you, Oh I'm sorry But, maybe you needed to be offended But here's my apology and one more thing...Fuck you! Cause you can't bring me down Suicidal!!!!

[Lead Taylor] Weed them out Their wretched roots ripped From the ground Their dying deceptions Exiled from these crowns So bleed them out The infections of atrocious souls Seperate & amputate These crippled kings from their idle thrones Behold the faded embrace Of a motionless throne The lifelong gaze of your Crumbling kings Behold the breaking bells In their whispering toll As they fall from black clouds That seem to stand so tall In the darkened moments That terrify I await the tearing whites Of their fearful eyes Weed them out Their wretched roots ripped From the ground Their dying deceptions Exiled from these crowns So bleed them out The infections of atrocious souls Seperate & amputate These crippled kings from their idle thrones Cleansing pestilence The dismal array of dismembered lives Like rusty scalpels to rotten flesh Ridding the cancer of poisoned minds [Leads Taylor/Joey] When their Tongues dissolve of trust In regurgitated faith Cankerous creations raze This fetid sovereign state An endless death awaits These dynasties when in the end All they have ever done is fail me [Lead Joey] In the darkened moments that terrify I await the tearing whites Of their fearful eyes Weed them out Their wretched roots ripped From the ground Their dead connections Exiled from these crowns So bleed them out The infections of atrocious souls Seperate & amputate These crippled kings from their idle thrones *actual song is 5 minutes long, followed by several minutes of silence with a 25 second hidden track at the end*
