Father's Voice 07:32
lyrics

Speak Fill the house with your voice Show me your will In the grain of the wood And in fibers of cloth Give your servant your command Voice of great waters Nearer than the pulse of my heart Thy will be done Through my hand Thy kingdom wrought on earth You will be hated by all for my name's sake the one who endures to the end will be saved the suffering of now is nothing compared with the glory that will be revealed “The lord works in mysterious ways” Blood to wash away blood

Every Surface an Eye 06:10

Waking to malignant light Concrete steps of grinding teeth Swarming in the vessel’s blood Nestled parasitic twin Weight of the world Of all possible worlds Their gaze has weight Looks have force Needles in my back Laughter from all sides Laughter from the sky Shrinking now Small but always seen Grey walls Pressing in and down Words beneath words There are voices pushing from underneath Orders and threats I feel their eyes stare right through my skull It never stops I know too much there’s no going back Nowhere is safe Only one way to make my escape Through the red door

Flesh Crawling Delight 04:53
lyrics

War crimes on the screen at all times Stream of filth to fuck my eye holes Lies to seep into my brain stem Trough is filled to plug my mouth up I demand to feed more Fill my void with your dregs Pests under my skin writhe Dwelling in my pit Cradled by the blind Poisoned synapse bliss Self imposed abyss Mind raped and strung out this night starless Thoughts turned to maggots hollowed-out husk Livestock for slaughter born bound and gagged Baptized in black plague lusting for death Dreams of death to drive the march on Keep the mask on in the daylight Whips of pigs will keep me in line Wealth of whores and frauds to crush me I demand a numb heart Give to me a droid mind Feel the worms in my flesh Dwelling in my pit Cradled by the blind Poisoned synapse bliss Self imposed abyss Mind raped and strung out this night starless Thoughts turned to maggots hollowed-out husk Livestock for slaughter born bound and gagged Baptized in black plague lusting for death

Pseudologos 02:10
lyrics
buy track
A man made of words Crawling through the folds of mind Weaving structures out of breath Fragile only in the face of doubt They can know your thoughts If they’re the one that put them there Justified in paranoia Recognize that you are fucked Smile full of razor blades Embrace full of daggers Putting torch to family tree Building thrones from spines Would you like to know the truth? Would you like to see? How they siphon off your soul And leave you less than beast False light Mirage life False light Mirage life

Human Replica 05:11
lyrics
buy track
You go about your business Without a care in the world But deep within you know That the cracks are beginning to show “Everything will be fine” Let me disabuse you of this notion True peace can be known Only after your hell has been overthrown Believing what they told you You built yourself a life Not seeing the foundation Was built upon a lie You won't find what you seek You're grasping at the fog Reaching for salvation Your back towards the dawn You’re racing towards a chasm With arms stretched open wide Your coffers full of trifles And nothing left inside

Apostasy Under the Reign of the Machine 07:10
lyrics
buy track
All that you ever wanted My silence My labor The nodding of my head The tribute at your feet Carrot and stick on a Möbius strip A dead eye that sees all A dimming of the light Near pitch black at high noon Dwelling in the underground Are we are not fit to be seen in the light of day? How sick must we be to protest when we’re forced to dig our graves? Lying in wait The Lion and Snake

about

The album's name comes from a particular type of persecutory delusion that was originally identified in individuals with schizophrenia. In this delusion, individuals believe that some type of highly sophisticated machine being operated by a group of clandestine agents is responsible for some of their thoughts and sensations. A goal of this record is to explore the nature of delusions and paranoia and where they fit in an increasingly dystopian environment.
