Remnants 03:31
The stars so high calling to devotees far down below Descend, dancing, like death angels bearing gifts of flame And we stare up above in rapture, while destiny calls Beckoning us home Holding onto ourselves Searching for solace amidst destruction Remnants of what once was You were my last love in this surrender We were standing side by side in this disaster Cataclysmic waves crash, abandoned on this rock Fading into memories of once sacred pasts The stars so close reaching to devotees praying down below Hear the heavens break, as life and death collide And we dream of endlessness, emptiness, Beckoning us home Holding onto ourselves Searching for solace amidst destruction Remnants of what once was Ascend into the embrace Of an earth without a future Our ashes all that remain Ascend into the embrace Our love burns eternal Our ashes all that remain Ascend into the embrace.

Tin Man 02:16
Fixation of Man Technological vice Industrial addiction Corrupting our minds Titanium implants Through sinew and bone The digital cancer Spread into the soul This tin man’s dead labor A new future of a final mistake Disposed, disfavored How much of this progress can we take? Pray to the gods Of zeroes and ones For a fleshless savior To absolve our hearts Engines of progress The gears of change Unholy rites Invoked this fate This tin man’s dead labor A new future of a final mistake Disposed, disfavored How much of this progress can we take? Wires…Pierce through the veins! Strangled, ruptured, humanity is drained The last temptation of Man was the gold he saw in the lands he stole Once verdant with life run free, now necrotic with the plague of greed.

Degloved 03:09
Bound and drowned Sinking to depths of self-isolation Forced to conform Resisting a cultural indoctrination Bound and drowned Under weight of mal(e)xpectations* Doomed to repeat Mistakes of the father in my past Cry in times alone we die. Fight to prove we are cruel inside Bound and drowned Sinking to depths of self-hatred Forced to conform Or suffer the scorn of ostracization Bound and drowned Under weight of mal(e)xpectations* Cursed to repeat The patterns we claim to despise We sing hymns of innocence lost While their hands smother our hearts Years spent lashing at bystanders’ gaze Tear the mask off a tortured boy’s face Forgiving myself for once in my life A malice I held no longer inside. *Mal: Latin prefix for bad. Male expectations: The conditioned ways a patriarchal society teaches us we are supposed to behave in order to protect the system of gender-normative oppression in order to effectively reify and reinforce the dominant norms of society. Mal(e)xpectaions: A recognition of the toxic nature of patriarchal masculinity or any binary or rigid gendered norms that tell you there is only one correct way to be a man (and that links it to power and domination over other gender expressions).
