lyrics
Motion is denied as anxiety strikes me
Petrified as my heart beats rapidly
Fear carries desperation since I am unable
To control this state, mind unstable
Can you show me the bright colors that were banned from my sight?
The joyful side of life that was taken by fear’s blight?
You wouldn’t even dare to imagine in how much pain I am right now
Ineffable, this horror to which I have to bow
Shaky hands, shivering body, eyes wide open
Trapped in my head, broken words unspoken
Deranging fear attacking from all sides
Defenseless in plain sight, overrun at first attempt
Sole in these plains of ashy ground
No one is searching for me, ’cause I’m nowhere to be found
All that’s left is a moment of defeat
Losing against an overpowered enemy
A battle that doesn’t even deserve this name
Abandoning my dignity, left with pungent shame
When every noise is a shock
Every shadow is a threat
When you’re even afraid of prevailing
There comes a time you wish you were dead
Palsied tongue, I’m quadriplegic, staring at terror’s antic
My language is barred, my soul is scarred
Motion is denied as anxiety strikes me
Petrified as my heart beats rapidly
Fear carries desperation since I am unable
To control this state, mind unstable
Deranging fear attacking from all sides
Defenseless in plain sight, overrun at first attempt
Sole in these plains of ashy ground
No one is searching for me, ’cause I’m nowhere to be found
All that’s left is a moment of defeat
Losing against an overpowered enemy
A battle that doesn’t even deserve this name
Embracing my shame
Imagine you denied yourself to feel joy
You don’t sense your bliss, even when it hurts
Forbidden to love yourself
Your own prison, your curse
Head slamming against the bars
In chains, the blacksmith is you
The prison guards are your own scars
A stranger you once knew
Madness and hate overcome
Ravaging your cell trying to break free
Crimson scratches at the wall
How did I end up where I don’t want to be?
The battle inside your head
You’re losing, the enemy is you
A part you thought to be dead
A stranger you once knew
The place you made your home
Won’t ever stop to hold you down
Crush the asylum you once built
Its mere existence will get you killed
What if I told you that you’re the creator
Your power unlimited, your will superior
Every brick stone you built, you can make it disappear
One last teardrop and you’ll make the fear stop
I will tear down my home
Fury be my guide
Still welcome to this place
But only if you throw yourself away
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
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period. josich
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
