Near infinite years ago Before the sand met the water And the marionettes were far from ideal To act on behalf of the slaughter When all has bypassed the world Far beyond condemnation As the eyes sink not into skulls Representative of desperation The paradox breathes in death The contradictor he is The abstract is the one who tore The world from this And a rift opens I am the Paradox But not I am the Abstract I am all of my time World is cracked Spanning the days of old When before had no precursor When after was indefinite No need for the next nurser Space and time became corrupt Of the paradox I am not afraid Allowance to traverse the future And to trespass retrograde Avoiding life Avoiding death Avoid the choke Avoid the breath If thine eyes refused to view If thine ears refused to listen If thine mouth refused to speak The truth shall be slipping away... The emptiness in time and space The imminent fall from grace The day you witness the battle of two One will win and one shall fall to their doom Crawling and writhing with the last shred of life Ripped from its hands and set into flight This space and time gig, it's almost like it's Watching a Cerebrus Burn Yggdrasil to the ground Poseidon makes ash of the beast And Odin strikes him down Its like watching Hell freeze over And then watching Heaven melt Rewriting the laws of fate With the newest cards they dealt The sky fights the ground And the earth dies down Time never cared Time couldnt spare (me) I need to kill time The illusion of misery A beast that's always feeding On souls and blackened hearts Time is not the fondest part Negative space is all to see With the illusion of misery The universe is not mindful To your request for no reminder Of everything you hated Of time wished sedated All space and time Will hurt your mind

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bury the essence of what once was in hopes that it will rise from the grave, return to its normal state and sustain life. Lacrimosa dies illa, qua resurget ex fa villa Judicondus homo reus, huic ergo parce, Deus Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem Once the Paradox makes a deal with the Abstract Oblivious, there is no turning back We control space, we control time We murder death, we allow life We are no Gods, no deity No question, how came you or me This existential crisis living Day to day contemplating Killing off those in waiting Answers given, phone still ringing But who am I? But who am I to you To any of you, Who am I? Well I know... I am the Paradox But I am not the Abstract I am all of my time World is cracked I am the Paradox A walking fucking contradiction Space time love hate dysfunction You live to die in dysfunction junction We're never really dead Its all in our heads Steal the Ferryman's boat Straight to the crossroads That rift will bring you back I am the Paradox

So I have sat through two decades of hate In aeons of silence I wait I've never seen what you call law and order It's always been flaw and disorder Go say your prayer to your empty sky The universe cares not for you and I, so fuck it

about

I originally recorded "The Groot Burial Riff" sometime in 2014, and it was a hellish masterpiece, but it never had a proper release, so here it is now with updated drums, bass and effects. With it comes the full version of "Flaw and Disorder," a Pink Floyd-esque Maggot Brain style acid trip. Three tracks. An hour long ride into the bowels of Hell with nothing but a rusty razor and a dry wit, and possibly a demonically sized psyche.
