Gaping Hole 04:36
you wanna feel this elation? give up the world abandon your frustrations forget the stress if you can't rest with this enslavement make the call you be the fall of this whole matrix I see you grovel for salvation I'm apathetic with mass aesthetics laugh is wretched you wanna be me you'll see things and ask to forget it yer ass'll regret it this disease leaves lasting impressions I eat trash for breakfast I need to ask you a question see these masks and prosthetics? it's pathetic it's pretentious but at least I can act eccentric please don't retract your affection I need it to grasp a direction only thing that I have is my rhetoric but at least I can act eclectic and I think I can wax poetic I believe in abstract phonetics so I'll head every last prophetic lesson telling me how to relieve myself of apathetic tendencies never deceive my essence again it's a penance I've ceased a sentence reprieved it's a detriment to be so negative and bleak but evidently everything only exists to go extinct yeah~~~ gaping hole make me whole take control claim my soul gaping hole make me whole take control own my soul only sold my innocence why you listening to this insolence no more impotence with this instrument I am giving in to this sin again I wanna live again so I will reject his offence and begin again towards the imminent I'll float behind the flow of time and never know what's mine until I take it face it only open minds can hope to find their way to greatness.

this reality is made of what's inside of me but I don't want to be the sum of this catastrophe where my soul tells me to go you know that's where I must go

about

~GAPING HOLE is a gloomy but explosive pop jangle featuring none other than Johann Sebastian Bach, blanketing the song with a visceral organ refrain.

~PICTURE OF A SOUL INGRAINED is an instrumental song featuring a melody played as a simple single-string guitar line. The song builds into a rhythmic web of samples; a journey that waxes and wanes through the psyche of denial, depression, aimless aggression, and redemption.
