Cthulhu 04:33

Captive amidst the lost and the sunken worlds The elder god's prison under south pacific waves Lying in wait for the moment when These confines break away Destructive life force Torments the subconscious of All of mankind Calling out among The nightmares The apprehension of awakening And the sub-sequential chaos that will supervene Is utterly inescapable When the tentacles can be seen Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn Corpses are the hordes and the minions Of the ancient water beast cast down from the dark star Built long before the age of prehistory In a cold and chaotic dimension At war with the old ones And banished to the sea's depths by the gods of the air The amoral and malevolent dragon Soon will be awakened and ensure disarray Destructive life force Torments the subconscious of All of mankind Calling out among the waves Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn In his house of R'yleh, dead Cthulhu waits, dreaming In his house of R'yleh, dead Cthulhu waits, dreaming Call of Cthulhu Call of the star-born monster Soon to rise from this prison To fill the cosmic prophecy In his house of r'yleh, dead Cthulhu waits, dreaming Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu r'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn In his house of r'yleh, dead Cthulhu waits, dreaming Phi'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu r'yleh wgah'nagl fhtagn

Metal (feat. Austin Vincent) 04:17

Get up on a mic and I blow it up What's it going to take to make every Metal head in the place hands elevate Celebrate, gather together a culmination of Erratic-al behavior encompassing where we dominate I don't think anybody really wants to get up In the middle of a mosh pit, at Anthro concerts When I'm bringing Austin, we caution the front Because we hit them with heaviness and break it down often Let me get everybody jumping up and down From the stage to the back of the crowd Get it loud, get it rowdy Anybody taking up space on the ground Get your body better ready for the wreckage right now Succumbing to the melancholy melody of metal With a medley to sever any preconceived Notions of habits to have while you're rapping I'm bringing new seasons like fricassee'n rabbit I will get stuck in your brain like a scalpel Feel it from the occipital love to the frontal Headbanging rapid enough to sever any Recognizable ligaments in the neck when I bust flow Turn a few people to a swarm Make a hive like I went and took a cup of cechlor Get it live get it tight get it hype when I bust Your style is shit like dark throne production Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal I see a sea of people throwing horns up Not one motherfucker now's getting out until it's torn up Black lights, black eyes, black t-shirts Everybody's repping why they came to the concert Laced up with the steel-toed boots on You know we came to throw fists until the sun's gone Pissed off, never pissed on Knocking everybody around, to the ground when my song's on If you're not here to mosh, best move Because the pit's alive and we came here to prove Our love for the band rocking out on the stage While colliding with force and releasing rage I'm in that space, losing track of time and place Banging heads, breaking faces like I broke out of a cage, right I'm in the zone and my favorite riff is going The crowd is an explosion of wild energy tonight I'd like to see you try and step to me You best believe that nobody here is having more fun than me tonight Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal I come ready to eviscerate the game I'm pulling everything out of it Leave an audience in disarray I am fully about it I bring a raucous when I rock this I will get up in your mind And cause a ruckus that principle Richard Vernon couldn't ever describe I'm screaming guttural, My stomach is intolerant I'm vomiting up a couple bars and making it audible A topical cream going to be needed when I'm walking off Massacre microphones like motherfucking Geronimo Solar plexus connect with shoulders No joke come equipped to be quick with flows I'm no pro but the amateur damage I know shows That Hannah Montana could mosh better than most Joe's Anthro's chosen I can leave a lyrical nose broken Saint fucking Charles Missouri to Hobo ken Clear a space like I came with a bulldozer Melt frozen shit circle pit til the shows over Bringing the end game, causing calamity Got a plan to be ready for any level of savagery Got a heretical rhetoric, epidemical outreach Earn a parental advisory sticker without speech Yell, screech, shout and scream to get loose and Hit the track hard enough to call it physical and verbal abuse Up in a pit were some heavy weights Like you really didn't need all them ribs in tact anyway Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal Now bang your head and move those fucking horns Slam dance in the pit That's fucking metal

These creatures take no mind to time But we assign an age to life Create a fear of the final end But it's suspense that kills us We waste away to nothing Everyday striving to afford to live Watching seasons pass through the windows Mourning helplessly as passing moments slip Can you help me understand These confines that hold us in Can you help me learn to see This is all we're meant to be One step Further down the line we Crawl on Tired knees that scream for time as Clocks count down All the moments that we bleed Is this who we're meant to be Break down to rebuild again But make sure that the subject fits Trained well to accept the fate To watch life escape and embrace the souls limits Hearts break from the time apart So diverse in this work of art These frozen moments smile through their frames While these diamonds fall from eyes hiding pain One step Further down the line we Crawl on Tired knees that scream for time as Clocks count down All the moments that we bleed Is this who we're meant to be Can you help me understand These confines that hold us in Can you help me learn to see That this is all we're meant to be Can you help me understand These confines that hold us in Can you help me learn to see That this is all we're meant to be

Let's go Bare the shackles you were born into Wrists stuck up in the cuffs since the moment you First drew a breath and had a thought to form Suffocated by the weight of the maelstrom Just sold a fantastical prophecy Disregard nonsensical hypocrisy All The pages laid apart stained with blood A grim history's shadow on the greater good The books written by the kings of men We want to break the cages but it keeps us in And with the fear of sin they rule Hand and fist And put virtue in the fault of blind obedience But when the words are spoken, impact is imminent Crush the cell of all thought imprisonment We're living in a world afraid To think beyond the pages and to question fate, but it's time Question everything you know Anthroskepsis Shattering the end of the impending pandemic A sense of braggardly taking pride in the comfort of ignorance A division of populous, perpetrating the fallacy Rooted deep in confusing a fantasy and reality From the mind of a delicate and impressionable adolescent Banish the possibility of opposing question With the magical thought of a state of living immortally While imposing the latter is ever troubling morally Wipe the minds slate clean of fact To leave every shred of fallible belief intact But if we leave it that we trust feeble acts of Literature written when the world was seen as flat And now the coming impact is imminent Crush the cell of all thought imprisonment We're living in a world afraid To think beyond the pages and to question fate, but it's time Question everything you know Anthroskepsis

Tangled in Discomfort 05:32

Arbitrarily reincarnating happy recollections While indifferently treading down a common, tame and dull conduit Uninterestingly, mechanically moving Through a passage so familiar and borderline monotonous Entranced In the sound of your own careless jubilation Whistling a merry melody and taking in a moment Unaware of the foot-destroying hazard up ahead Inconsiderate Until the agonizing contact In a sudden twinkling of seconds Did the ancient roots of maple trees Impede upon the avenue Intended specifically to place your step upon In what can only be regarded as deliberate and calculated spite Altogether pain is now engulfing As it radiates away from your obliterated happiness Becoming intravenous & constricting as a vine This occurrence will forever be an instant that you came to be Came to be so Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Now curled to the position of a fetus Writhing miserably and cursing out your deity Frantic fingers of your wavering appendages Collide into a pile of wood, resting at your sides Splinters God damn, motherfucking splinters Covering the palms of your hands And your finger webbing Utterly creating new obscenities to screech Out into the otherwise unremarkable affair Looking up into the heavens for assistance Noticing a nest in the crevasse of the maple trunk As the gooey and gelatinous tree sap Creeps unto the surface of your skin Comes and audible hum Wasps Swarming at the scent of the sweet, aromatic substance Clinging to your flesh Rising to your feet, you flee As the pollen from the flowers Of a nearby field enter deep inside your eyeballs Causes you to be Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Oh, is there no justice in this Seemingly hopeless endeavor How can it be right for Every square inch of available being To be in a state of pain Oh, I've become so acutely aware Of the space in between my toes And my hair follicles do revolt at The uncomfortable feeling they are Currently in Finally make it through the woods Covered up in welted puncture wounds But no longer navigating through the wicked halls of nature Coming up upon a door to a small house Hoping for a path that Could lead to a salvation Only opening to beckon you to come inside But in a tone that is hope annihilation What could await just beyond the open door What is menacing about this entire situation Standing in a room Surrounded by a mass of individuals Disregarding all personal space They hover, creepily, inches from your neck And speak ever delicately, so you feel their humid breath Topics only do pertain to the awkward And with a twinge of a dry and sticky back throat As they gradually encircle all around you And brush by so that only your arm hairs entwine Causes you to be Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort Tangled in discomfort

Rán's Road 03:43

Upon the sea in open water do we journey To the golden fjords of foreign, undiscovered lands We aim to feed the hunger burning in our hearts A band voyagers, who live and die by battles command We find the hidden artifacts of every island we encounter And we claim it in the name of our flag We brave the elements of nature and we stare into the eye of any challenge that arises An we never look back How the clouds glow red Upon this fateful morning As we prepare to venture on cursed shores We have sought the treasures of countless lands But stand now to gain a wealth As never have we seen before As we seize the riches of nature from these caves And bring them back aboard, a successful quest We ignore the cautions of elders Who have handed the legend of the seas through the generations We gather all of what is taken from the caverns Into chambers that will carry it until we return We laugh and mock the feeble warnings of the ones Who would have rather we abstained From seeking what we have earned And as the celebration fades into an evening Discussing what we'll do with what we keep of the lot We retire to our bunks and pass into a state of rest As we begin to venture out along the path to our home Awakened from our slumber by turbulence at sea A tempest of the ocean has arrived upon our fleet The tidal waves and lightning crashes down upon our ship And out ahead we see what has arisen from the depth The ship becomes a battlefield erupting into mayhem As the travelers and goddess of the storm have taken arms And have now broken out in conflict that divulges to a massacre Fire now engulfing all and sails crumbling into ash Cursed goddess of the sea Goddess of the sea To the sky shot up the Deep's Gledes With fearful might the sea surged Methinks our stems the clouds cut Rán's Road to the moon soared upward

Swimming through the purple tides Under polka dotted skies Crystal mountains, dragon wings Guard the castle's mystic beings Rise of cyclops Flip the coin, cross the bridge From cave and caverns crawl Find the doorway, passage in Defend the unseen, conquer all Rise of cyclops Bubble gum, diamond clouds Stars and comets light the ground Shadow village, snowy winds Press the button, follow in Rise of cyclops Flip the coin, cross the bridge From cave and caverns crawl Find the doorway, passage in Defend the unseen, conquer all Rise of cyclops Swimming through the purple tides Under polka dotted skies Crystal mountains, dragons wing Guard the castle's mystic beings Rise of cyclops Flip the coin, cross the bridge From cave and caverns crawl Find the doorway, passage in Defend the unseen, conquer all Rise of cyclops

Lost in a moment of a bitter dream Under torrents of viscera from eradicated thoughts Nothing ever stops; it goes on in manners infinite And randomly regenerating under quantum law Feel the pull of an invisible but manifesting Coalescing terror lurking somewhere In the darkest realm of mental plains Where the rivers of your personal utopia Coagulate and fade into the bedlam of your mind This is where you may awaken in a cold sweat You begin to feel the slipping of lucidity This is where the pleasant dream becomes a nightmare This is where you will remain until reality returns Welcome to REM Welcome to REM Stutter step into the center of an empty room Alone with any thoughts you have managed to suppress and hide Alone with everything you manage to conceal Under comfort of the sun Now returning with your closing eyes Nothing sheltering the ludicrous and lunatic Tormenting your head in a suffocated dirge Do the images displayed on the undersides of eyelids Paint a portrait so convincing you believe it to be true Is your mind now becoming your own nemesis Is your consciousness betraying your stability Are you taken to the edges of your tolerance It is here you will remain until reality returns Welcome to REM Welcome to REM Welcome to REM Welcome to REM 90 minutes stuck in time, rapid eye movement Such a little while can feel like an eternity 90 minutes stuck in time of your mental state Searching frantically for an exit from this burning sea Is your mind now becoming your own nemesis Is your consciousness betraying your stability Are you taken to the edges of your tolerance It is here you will remain until reality returns Welcome to REM Welcome to REM Welcome to REM Welcome to REM
