Forever is all I see The mind is a beautiful thing But it can be a nightmare The mind is a labyrinth Where ideas can go nowhere The thoughts that circle within my head Need to be set free I have to release the demons within If I ever want to be The future I foresee Lies within epiphany Somewhere part of me Is seeking its release Release me I could see it all if I was ever free It's time to let it go Let it go I could become the elusive me It's time to let it show Let it show through Through The misery trashing me The agony building beneath The future remains a mystery If I ever could ever see Can't see Thought provoked release Seems the sweetest thing Come forth epiphany The evil that lurks in the past Will be cured at last Free me The mind cannot destroy me Even my wildest dreams The mind is the strangest thing Ripped apart at the seams The thoughts that circle within my head Need to be set free I have to release the demons within If I ever want to be All I want is to be free And to solve this mystery For once and for all My clairvoyance ends sweet I'm free

I have become lost somewhere in time Something out there has stolen my mind I don't know who I am and I don't know why The walls are closing in, am I going to die? I am the unseen I am a bad dream I have died ten billion times And I reek of shitstained flies To have become the personified Being of eternal demise Why was it me, what does it mean? Who am I and what did I use to be? The existentialism is killing me My mind is stolen and nowhere to be seen I am the one they all fear I feed on their tears I am depleting their years I am the abstract death Fuck I watch the sky I watch the ground But so unseen I cannot be found I don't believe in you You don't believe in me I will never be there I will remain unseen I have become hate

I was born in the sky beneath the ground I was there for the deformation of sound They all disappear they become nothing in time I have seen the bleakest future I have seen heads covered in sutures What you think you know you never fucking knew at all You think you know who you are? You weren't a thing If you were around back through time You could see the continuum unwind I have been there and never been I am a paradox within "So my future self and my past self met each other at complete accident and got in a fight with eachother instead of reasoning like normal people, and so now I'm stuck as a construct in the middle of fucking nowhere. If anyone can help me locate myself and bring me back to wherever, call me at ... shit, there's no service out here. I'm fucked. Fuck." I don't believe when I was around The sky was ever over the ground It all disappears and becomes nothing in time Revert to the ground being above the sky

Agony Impurity Insecurity To Hell with Oblivion I built this world on my own This is my shithole home I am my own hell My mind is my cell Leave me alone Inanity Insanity Ennui To Hell with Oblivion The world you loathe is only as bad As you want it to be Why create a hell you hate Make it your everything I cast you out Immorality Immortality Fatality To Hell with Oblivion This world is mine I cast you out This is my hell And I love it
5.
From the ashes arisen Ash into life I'm so frustrated I'm summoned I was deep in sleep Now I shall steal the light Bring it into the darkness Where it won't breathe right Didn't anyone ever tell you To let sleeping dogs lie Now you're in Hell Don't fuck with the dead
6.
So it crawls around with a wretched smile What is its deal? If the acid doesn't wear off Then it must be real This is no fairy tale You can't wish it away The monster underground Is starting to show its face No gods no kings Only man and its pest Haunting you for life Since it won't die like the rest Digging under your skin And thrashing about Whenever it shows its face It gets so loud Get it away Don't let it breathe
7.
You do battle Like the harvester of cattle Applicable You duel like said animal In pieces You'll be dressed in my weapon Light control Must cease to happen I have discovered This world's treasure No ornament Some pathetic garment I sense I'm forced to vomit In your presence I'm sure someone Has done so in yours The script for your foulness Does not exist It occurs You fail to know these words Thievery gets you wet Splash
8.
Wrath lust gluttony Sloth pride greed and envy They've labeled these all deadly Yet there's one they're forgetting And it's a devil on its own, oh no It toys with you in its game You reach for it when you're in pain The fatal facade all darkness aside I will not speak its name Haven't since that day It's used to cope with fear Its presence can't be promised near It lies to you and does it clean It doesn't leave a pretty scene No fault for having failed you No guilt for letting you down It's a devil on its own, and its name is...

Welcome, please seat yourself It's time to learn a little about the game I cannot change the picture But you all can modify the frame I'll give you booze, I'll give you drugs Can't promise !@#*, can't promise love You'll open doors, maybe bang whores You'll be crawling back for so much more Your mind is your eye And I warped your mind The pills you are given They're placebos for your sight Look at it the way you want Forever it all goes down You have drained reality Built your fantasy Enter your mind all realigned This new design will fuck you up No limit seen beyond your dreams And you will never have enough Take all you want if it is there If it's too perfect you can leave But you're so entwined inside your mind That you forget you're in a dream (That's the last time I take acid from strangers.) Hypnotized Demonized Your dreams become nightmarish Come to mind Realize The end results are scary Tied down and dried, ready to cry Your mind is suffering the true Stolen yourself and thrown in hell Never knew what you were to do There's no way out now that you're in And you can never say goodbye But if you die inside your dream You're gonna die, there goes your life

Up, down, left, right Up to something Down in the ground Left with nothing Right now Friend or foe. you'll never know Which side to go? Where's the road? Caught in the midst of your own thoughts With no signs to lead you You're so lost Your soul lost I don't know where to go I just want to go home I don't know what to be I just want to be me Am I so wrong To choose that path that seems so gone It's all I know and it is my home Up to something like I always am I don't know why, no explanation, man Down in the ground, that's how I feel Twelve feet under beyond real Left with nothing, no surprise there There's emptiness and I don't care Right now I'm pacing around Inside my head, I'm going down Life is a game, a puzzle and a maze There's one way to escape But I'm not going out that way Can't wish it all away This shit is here to stay We could solve it your way But I'd like to live another day We could solve this my way And tomorrow might be okay Destroy your brain, your mind is in pain There's everything within your reach You are in control of yourself Don't ever let somebody change you You are in control of yourself Don't ever let anyone shape you You are in control of your life You decide who gets to stay behind You are in control of your life You decide who shall be left to die If you can't take it Then fucking change it If you hate it Then fucking take it out If you hate it so bad Make room for what you want Everything else is null The only one who can save you is yourself

credits

released October 13, 2015

J. Paradox contributed unusually tuned throat spasms and destruction of six-stringed machines. Additional conspiracy planning was brought to you by Dr. DIsasturbator, who forcefully molested a quadruple-stringed electrical appliance against its will to rather pleasing results. DJ Cold Spirit provided electronic dysfunction and other strange cuts of audio information, also providing the destruction of metallic skins.

I'm fucking with you. J. Paradox did vocals, guitar, bass, talkbox and drums and literally everything on this record.

Yeah.

No special guests. Light one up.
