selfish, the heart
hunger-filled to the core
ravenous gluttons, we are
empty vice
illusion of life
all delight is gone
boredom and escape; what have we done?
if we are empty, what have we become?
a self-inflicted tear in
the soul of humanity, we
attempt to patch ourselves with
another shopping spree
our focus, hard, unflinching
straight-lined to those curves
pandora's box opened and
blessing turns curse
what have we begun?
feeding a need
that will not be denied
what have we become?
only the endless could fill us now
or self-medicate until we drown
grasping, using, never finding
always left unsatisfied
every move to soothe ourselves
results in frustration, intensified cravings for more
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
