Delirium
Against velvet walls
The words we spit erode faster
Than a thousand years waves, but we smile and smile again.
Your eyes wilt flowers in our home,
Where complacency hangs from the ceiling
And deception stains Persian rugs
So bright they laugh at our dismay.
It’s funny how we settle for loathing.
The abrasive touch we exchange
Always gets mistaken for longing, but we go on trying and trying.
Nothing burns like your cold shoulder
Searing neglect
Your subtle lies spoken so
sweetly are
Carefully chosen from your armory.
These wounds collecting dust make me just as pathetic as you.
It’s funny how we settle for loathing
But I can’t complain
I’m not allowed to.
My body stutters in your presence
And whatever’s left of me is undone.
I can’t be alone in my head
Thoughts like knives between the silence
And a presence like flu breath
Sickly
No place to hide our regrets
Seeping through the floorboards
Watched my feelings become weakness
Watched your specter crawl over me
Through me
Always eating
Like unappeasable weeds
And they didn't stop
Until we shared a mouth
Shared all resentment and doubt
Domination is a void

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
