lyrics

A thought occurred, might we live behind bars
Discord dwells within, repression of darkness
Masochistic act of false self-realization
Estrangement from the core, our attempts reduced to a farce
A machine drained of fuel, a motionless apparatus

Stillborn actors on a canvas of a Bollywood-film
Make up covers the face of each of them
Their raised mouth angles have been frozen in an instant
Trapped in a status of crushing bliss
Gray colors vanish in purple mist
Empowerment of competence achieved through their acquired disablement

Show no sadness, strive for a primitive inner
Embrace the profane, empty your mind
And celebrate the tedium, your honesty is not welcome
You shall dance and laugh, a living corpse

Your sensibility shall be reduced to none

Principles are nothing but weight on your legs
Maladjustment gives you a better advance
Handsome is the inscribed grin that purely is bereft of sense
You shall dance and laugh, a living corpse

Quit your cares, your self shall vanish
Don’t be scared, reach perfection by remaining a doll

Compensate a frail attitude with strong expression
Until your cheeks nearly rip by the tension
Be known by no one and accepted by all
Be a part of the dance at this hypocritical masked ball

Known by no one but accepted by all

Stand tight at each other but be worlds apart
Shine bright and depart be a shooting star

Meaningless words in a meaningless world
Show your teeth but to increase sympathy
Take a stance you shouldn’t be hurled
Preach freedom but do not be free

We inflicted paralysis on ourselves
We embraced to live in a self-made hell
Our brokenness will be ignored
but a handsome face does truly sell
A business ruled in which we trade
A faked smile for another

Just to obscure that we are frail
A business ruled by our trade of one faked smile for another

And you shall dance and laugh until you finally break

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosus

supported by 33 fans who also own “Paralysis”

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
