lyrics

Venostasis



Cold and corpulent

A creature to fall by design

Its ashen eyes roll side to side

Looking for shelter

Destined to die



A penrose drain

To prolong the effect

Compressing the limbs

A tourniquet

It leaches and feeds

On the pulse of our necks

Leaving a trail of

Sinkholes and shells



The pulsing digits

And chattering teeth

Its all white noise

On an ink black canvas

Placed in the hollow of our chests



Gradual disdain

To burn the tip of our tongue

Grazing the flame, a delusion, a game,

Pawing at shadows

And begging for rain



A feather falls

From a mountain top

To crush the feeble minds

Like brittle bones

As quick as ash

A promise fades

Not one to last



Dissolving in

To gray skin

The agony

The ecstasy of

Lingering death



Gargantuan and sluggish

Malignant mass

That feeds

Upon the weak

An aimless throng

Fashioned into a

Single obedient legion



Dissolving in

To gray skin

The agony

The ecstasy of

lingering death



We are the alters

The idols built

By clumsy, stupid hands

By venostasis



A rabid and ravenous fiend

A breach in the system

A fault in the mind

A break in the path

To the untrained eye



The long and gaunt

The infected

The host of a thousand

Illnesses

The elite to besiege

The expendable mass

To snuff the flame

By venostasis



(In this place

Where no one,

Not sun, moon, nor stars,

Has ever seen before:

I am the solitary host of this dead world

Occupied only by the perpetual stench of dying memories.

Skeletal remains of things that never truly lived.

Rats with no eyes.

Birds with no wings.

I am utterly alone here

Fierce and beautiful female vocals complimenting dark, heavy, moody music.

"Sludge from New Mexico. The Gemini Curse. Chunky sludge riffs twinned with the odd melodic vocal interjection." -Deathrattle Podcast
