lyrics

lay me down
cold black earth seeps into my skin
lay this soil
the only way we all become the same

all I create, dust in dirty water
all I see, faceless just like me
all I hear, murmurs from an empty space
all I am, a husk of life

can't escape with your identity intact
recognize the status quo, perverting the facts
can't begin to live without looking back
wasting away in this cell, complacency masked

biding my time
waiting for the moment
when I'll have the autonomy
to ease the pain

and yet it all feels so distant
turning meaningful moments
to a waste of my time

artifacts of a burning world
orbiting a burning sun

we'll all burn as well
useless echoes undone

Deterior recommends:

Restrained By Liberty
by Gang Control

High-quality modern hardcore punk. Furious but still a bit danceable. Not enough bands have this kind of sound. Deterior
go to album
Algorythm
by Beyond Creation

I get into tech death a lot these days, and these guys are some of the best. Textures abound. Deterior
go to album
Burial Dream
by Sarin

A nice throwback to mid-2000s-era of atmo-sludge. Really hits the spot when it's needed. Deterior
