Undermined 05:31
The gasping and wailing of existence Collectively, some sickening mantra A falsely branded pacifism Thinly veiled by an inability To control oneself It’s just something genetic Oh, the mental void of intellect The deepening sinkhole of bravery Shackled by a makeshift moral duty Blinded by the screen Of Idiocracy Blinded by the screen Of Aristocracy Hiding behind a dimly lit candle Purveyor of conspiracy His dirty hands reeking of inconsistency Caress this very altar This statue of obnoxiousness Vanity treated pridefully A treacherous road to stumble on Unless you’re shielded by Complacency, Hurl your sons into the fire And never walk this earth again Abolishing this legacy of Cretins Cretins Textbook blockheads Cretins
2.
Facetiousness in full bloom Take my speech and twist its limbs Reign, Supreme amongst your kin Isolated before your king With outstretched palms Innovations wane Oceans are in full retreat Bliss Sought by sages and tramps Supplicant and begging for more An unwritten law, some half-wit code A standard-bearing guide for procedure Sewn in countless stitches every other arm bearing patchwork oaths To receive them Acceptance of that creed Each and every leaf Empirical and wholly unbending Condescension all-pervades (Yet among knaves) Submission is at all costs upheld On your hands and knees Praying to some falsehood idol Humility’s excrement Lodged underneath your fingernails Digging your own tomb Scavenging through more than just… insecurity
3.
Deciduous Shedding every layer you’ve ever built up. Some calloused, some fragile, but rooting from the same trunk An avalanche of turmoil, a wave of delusion. This isn’t how self-fulfillment is measured nor found. It’s these spires from which you have crawled Every cobblestone step from which you have slipped on It’s these failures that hewn our comprehension It’s these failures that hewn our understanding Oh, Bathing in the marrow of conformity A cesspool from which false-selves are born Forefathers of distress; Sorcerers of unyielding anguish Grant me your burdens Some form of diversion Just an ounce of substance Something of pure essence Just something fucking real Among these mountaintops Above the valleys of uncertainty The quintessence of self-realization And when you find it, grasp what’s left The forking path ahead is merciless. So let your stride wax and wane Darting between every obstacle And its intolerable consequence To a life of willfulness A path of Dis- ambiguation A reason to keep striving for One last promise of persistence

about

This release is a split with our new friends in Chaste. We've been planning this release for over a year now and its release has been plagued with lineup changes and other discrepancies. But... it's here, and we're happy to share it with you.
