For All That Remains

God listen to me now
I'm beginning to shut down
Got turned around
Lost my fucking way. cos im
Sick of spinning cogs
Sick of being slogged
Sick of being a lapdog with no dialogue.
Cos there's no choice in an enclosed system
Trickle down this tension has deepened.
Collectively sickened
The plot has just thickened
Burning ourselves alive.
Idling hiding in rituals
Ignorance is cynical
Got clean hands that's a miracle.
I take a step but it's all so shrouded
Right and wrongs all clouded
What you call sane is unfounded.
Stop trying
There's no point fighting
In the end we all just die.
Collective psychosis
We're misdirected
Only catastrophise.
Criminals have taken the reigns.
We gotta fight for all that remains
Or we'll die in tethers and chains.
Reflections in a sea of our own disparity
How can we ever set ourselves free
From the lower vibration
Magnified by human greed.
You can stand with the maladjusted
The introverts or the fight for justice.
You can stand with the fire starters
That sell you water while the world smoulders.
But there no-one here with a plan
We're standing by while shit hits the fan.
People making fortunes while the misfortunate get served a stiff back hand.
Round and round
We're slipping way down and down and
Why goes unseen is still happening
The questions all go unanswered.
Give an inch take a mile that is known
And the rich men all go unopposed
While the conscious are all left behind
Too busy questioning life.
We've reached the darkest
While I question what I want in life
The trajectory is becoming Compromised
You feel me?
We've reached the darkest.
And the worst thing of all is I think
That my self worth is in some way linked
To achievement in a system that's sick.
Reflections in a sea of our own disparity
How can we ever set ourselves free
From the lower vibration
Magnified by human greed.

Venomous

Spilt blood and hatred
Overpowers almost everything.
When you scream in my face
A monster awakens
From the depths of my being.
Radiate darkness from the fire
And venom that you breathe.
Your bleeding from a wound
That you can't even see
Do you know that your dying.
I'm looking for something
Some meaning from nothing
Are we even here
Nothing is clear.
My thoughts have been changing
This world has created
A monster in me.
Cos the silence is louder than the heat from the fire that you're breathing.
Decipher emotions from oceans of blood that your spilling.
Hiding behind achievements
Not facing up to demons
Can I get a little moment my head is spinning
Something has taken hold of me.
I see your pain now
Scarred and tattooed
A story on your skin.
The World can be so grim
A life unforgiving
Creating a prison.
We'll break out
Destroy the doubt
One day we'll die
And find out what it's all about.
Give me a sign your alive
Or are you benign
Or have you just died.
I'm looking for something
Some meaning from nothing
Are we even here
Nothing is clear.
My thoughts have been changing
This world has created
A monster in me.
You throw your words like daggers the same way as I did
Silencing anyone who doesn’t agree with your distorted view of reality.
I guess I shoulda know better than to let you get under my skin.
Time will heal
All wounds can be sealed
The fire that you breathe
Will never make me kneel.
When I only hear screaming and breathing your venom it awakens something in me.
From the depths of subconscious
My soul is unconscious of the monster that’s slumbering.
You’re re-alighting my fire
Something didn’t desire
Can I get a little moment my head is spinning
Something's taken hold of me.
I'm on my knees as I slay
The monster you create in me.

Old Pain

What we say
Just tell me what is the meaning
When there is no feeling.
Waiting for the sunrise
The night grips life.
Embraced in these heavy arms screaming
I am alive.
Am I always searching for
What does not exist in life?
Does freedom give meaning
Or from meaning, does freedom rise?
Cos its half of the battle trying to stay reflected.
And I feel contradicted knowing my pain comes from within.
Why do I wanna watch it burn
What does it mean when I wanna burn?
God save me I'm conflicted
I wanna live but I only destroy myself.
We all live this battle,
Waiting for the end of all Existence.
These are times of ignorance
Burning all of what's left.
What we say
Just tell me what is the meaning,
When there is no feeling.
My hands are all dirty.
One step closer to breaking.
Efforts are waning
Pissing of the whole world flaming.
Feeding a soul it ain't easy
These distractions ain't keeping me busy.
Cos I'm close,
Getting closer to my breaking point
I'm broke, broken chasing a bank note.
My internal condition
I want to change but I'm losing my vision.
Now i pay the price of,
Stealing another life.
Oh
Deceive and lie
Feeding our fear
A broken will a broken heart won't make me lesser.
I'm letting go
Not holding back tears
I will change the world and die a beggar.
We all live this battle,
Waiting for the end of all Existence.
These are times of ignorance
Burning all of what's left.

Pre-Life Nostalgia

With idle hands
We're going nowhere
Cos idle makes the devil's work.
She gave a man a mind
So he fed for a lifetime
And she gave him heart so he'd feed the many.
Without love we have nothing
Without love we have nothing.
And from nothing comes everything.
How could this happen how could we forget
Where we come from?
Born to this world from the infinite
The universe realising itself.
I keep hearing voices
Whispers on a breeze
Can you hear a calling
To carve out a live with a deeper meaning.
Tell me what you see
When you look at me
Can you see yourself in all my misery.
Cos I've been feeling cold
Is there something wrong with me
Have I gone too far to come back again?
Cos this world will mislead
There's a whisper intuitively.
I feel so sure now
I trust myself
When I relax my love manifests
Now I'm lifting my head from my stone pillow.
Keep hearing these voices calling out my name
Is this pre life nostalgia
Have we lost meaning
Am I other thinking
Trying to stay routed while heaven calls me.
Keep hearing these voices
Calling out my name
They're inviting me
To begin again.
We're all the same
From the love we feel down to all our pain
Emotions ripple out through time and space
We're on our way home again.

Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform. Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next.

Only the first two tracks are new, the rest are recycled tracks from previous albums. That isn't necessarily bad, but in my opinion, I don't like how [The] Arcadiac was reduxed. That's because the original version was what kicked off my rabid obsession with this fungi-inspired band. Still, those first 2 tracks total 24:54 of absolute insanity & technical fucking brilliancy that get stuck in your brain & won't goddamn leave! The poly-rhythms on track 1 give me googly eyes & a grin!
