Reinvented regret, the pain within indifferent, more potent than jealousy it flows through my finger tips and all over your body Finally there is justice Problems arise as the clock creeps closer to 3, and I can’t see and end in sight As the gears begin grinding These hours they never end Becoming lessons that seem to lack a beginning Forced with unnatural threats these seconds become decades pounding in my head Facts remain as the minuets wander from me Taking breaths of life I need housed in my own chest I’ll never confess my hatred is a comedy at best With a thousand screams my life falls deeper in to torrents face to face with nothingness My eyes cleansed of all guilt Souls alive with malicious intentions I breathe them in for you! My time spent on lies breaking down the metal in my watch I never asked for the time! Laugh as the tables have turned and the parallel infractions for my actions in this universe Constant reflections of light concentrate beams of black energies Forcing antimatter to unleash Devastation as the slaves begin constructing great monuments Structures that ask for death! Surfing on oceans of black matter through an alien galaxy The world is harder to navigate when gravity steers you from reality Obliterate my concept of time For seconds become lessons for eternity

Argot 03:48
(W/ special thanks to Colin Plach) Broken free from apathetic impurities Apathy isn’t property that’s evenly fought for- Devoid of purpose Cold and alone Grasping the grooves in my chest In search of failed emotions. As I as I wake up screaming, as I wake up screaming Remnants of time I was so lost in Realizing that there is nothing Greed masks the mind And I’m caught at rifts edge Between existence and the faded abyss They try to drain the life from the holes in my face, I’ll consume your flesh feed off your fears and break you Remnants of time I was lost in Realizing that there is nothing As I wait, as I shake, lies spill out I finally feel again And the impulses from my brain command me To take your breath away it’s something I feel will make the world safe Something commanded me from my brain As I wait as I shake the lies spill out…

Earth Above 02:20
Follow the moons of countless alien worlds Past stars black holes vampirically feed off Breathing in the light of new worlds before life can be cultivated becoming a greater good Scouring the maria Negating the desire to strive for devices that exceed our own limitation Motionless asking for sacrifice. Gravity does not exist in the confides of mortality which reasonably enough makes it a phobia For the intellectuals mind No one has expectations Your life had meaning in this world Actions react in excess fashion Nothing is worth living for Anymore.

Infernalis 03:45
Floating I’m trapped Distant from the past Regression breaks familiar lines Resonated from delusions Within your Mind We sail to preserve The society you strived so hard to leave behind As the calls from your mind thrive on excess consumption A primary function that- That cannot be denied And then they saw it, and they loved it when they saw it More confidence towards the stories of this great monument It brought them down from the skies! And made them leaders of their own kind. … EXCESS CONSUMPTION THAT CANNOT BE DENIED A PRIMARY FUNCTION YOU TRIED TO CONFINE EXCESS CONSUMPTION THAT CANNOT BE DENIED A PRIMARY FUNCTION YOU TRIED TO CONFINE Excess consumption … That can’t be denied.
