Burn't Out From Masking

BURNT OUT FROM MASKING
Deciphering human madness
Bombarded with psychology
Interrogate by droid vermin
Scrutinised by vacant ghouls
I'm burnt out from masking
You're burnt out from masking
They're burnt out from masking
We're all burnt out from masking
Enduring chaos rites by force
Lost in a maze of shifting size
Phasing out of time constantly
I can't speak in this dimension
Cataclysmic thoughts trapping me
Crushed under a world of nonsense
Decimated by intrusion
Spellbound by the death of a dream

SANIST
Prejudiced against all insanity
Values high IQ like it's gospel
Think they've got the right to hate
Those who cannot contemplate
Perceptions of existence
That are default
Sanist does not respect

Intellectual disability

Intellectual disability
Insecurities fuel segregation
Defining through a medical lens
Sneering at the conditions
Loathes neuro-diversity
We are the evolution
Of sanity

INTERNALISED ABLEISM
Institutionalised
Fucking trained like a dog
Rejects identity
Hides in society
Internalised ableism
Internalised ableism
Fake communication
Spiritually dumb
Fights against their own kind
And purposefully blind
Internalised ableism

JUST LET ME LAST TODAY
So far gone and no want to return
All is one and that is all I yearn
So far on and no one can be heard
Now it is none and that is all I earn
Just let me last today – And I ask you
Just let me last today – I command you
Just let me last today – And I ask you
Just let me last today – In the dungeon of rage
It won't be long before I will return
And when it comes it will be what I yearn
Before the clouds have sunk into my eyes
I'll drink with you until the black soil shines
Just let me last today – And I ask you
Just let me last today – I command you
Just let me last today – And I ask you
Just let me last today – A life scrawled on a page
Adverse to light
My mind is not my lot
I'm synchronised with beasts
Consuming only feasts
It's over my mind is done
I can't stand this no more

TEAR YOURSELF FREE FROM THOSE EYES
So who tells me that thing I hear
With eyes and limbs that dreams are made of
To dance with manic eyes through fear
As we collide and taste each others gifts
I stand corrected in the shadow of my lust
To only see that which causes flight
Unleash this endless torrent of time
Until we dissolve into each others minds
Tear yourself free from those eyes
'cos in our own shit do we writhe
Tear yourself free from those eyes
'cos in our own shit do we writhe
Give me your name in this hour of night
Give me your hands so we can touch this world
Give me your words so we can fill up our dreams
Give me your heartbeats and you can have mine
Tear yourself free from those eyes
'cos in our own shit do we writhe
Tear yourself free from those eyes
'cos in our own shit do we writhe

Navigating Hell

NAVIGATING HELL
The dangerous, pubescent ghost
Haunts a world, with no love or hope
She passes time, making negative boasts
Of how she died, swinging from a rope
Navigating hell, emotionlessly
Navigating hell, pointlessly
Navigating hell, emotionlessly
Navigating hell, pointlessly
She perished, forgotten moons ago
In a whirlwind, of her mothers lies
Poisoned by prayers, to secret gods
The fake prophets, fuelled her guilt
Navigating hell, emotionlessly
Navigating hell, pointlessly
Navigating hell, emotionlessly
Navigating hell, pointlessly
I gave my heart, I gave my life
To try to find order in strife
Those years are now consigned to files
In the red house, secret and vile
I'm angry that her legacy
Is one of pain and not beauty
It's too late now to make them see
What could be done, what could've been
Her aftermath is legendary
Exaggerated negatively
Her disordered personality
Would never ever let her free

HERE IS THERE
Nose bleeds
Psyche seethes
Hallucinated haemorrhage
Half eight
For years
In awe of times meaning
It's the end
Fear descends
Are we never gonna die?
Nearly left my mind there
Frankly I wouldn't of cared
Here is there anyway
Encephalon
I reject
Understanding is not the way
Just see
What's revealed
Intelligence made you forget
Blinkered
Administered
Learning is forgetting
Nearly left my mind there
Frankly I wouldn't of cared
Here is there anyway
Nearly left my mind there
Frankly I wouldn't of cared
Here is there anyway

NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US
My kind were identified
By twisted scientists
Separate by neurology
Focused ideology
The ones of us most profound
Sadly were oven bound
It seems I would have been
A super soldier unseen
Nothing about us
Without us any more
Do not rewrite history
On my account
Nothing about us
Without us any more
Do not rewrite history
On my account
I am not satisfied
To be marginalised
By ableist dictators
Robots patronising me
My condition was revealed
By a creator I oppose
Yet the source of my current chaos
Are my allies allegedly
Nothing about us
Without us any more
Do not rewrite history
On my account
Nothing about us
Without us any more
Do not rewrite history
On my account

Anthropos
by AEONS AND MONUMENTS

This is stunning work that combines ambient music with the best aspects of black metal in a way that will surprise and delight you, even if you have little taste for the latter genre. Totally original music.

The Tower of Flints
by drainbow
supported by 5 fans who also own “Unrelaxed 2”
An eclectic album filled with riffs and melodies interwoven like spider webs. Oddly dark and horny at times, but cohesive with soundscapes and dynamics to keep you guessing. The man behind this project is very talented and handsome. Also, this is definitely not prog.
