Floor stained with the blood of a thousand men
And a thousand more will come
Will this river of bodies
Ever run dry
Constantly piecing
Humans back together
May as well be playing
With jigsaw puzzles
Oh god I’m tired and I just want to go home
Inside the theatre a chorus rings out
The scalpels are singing a siren song
Ushering young men away from
their graves

Hunting for prey under the cover of night
The darker it gets the sweeter that it will taste
Red nectar fuelling this cold pale frame
This black heart is still beating strong
Sustain unlife
Feed on the blood
Tap into
The arteries
This unholy creature of the night
Is less than human
But transcends death
Sustain unlife
Feed on the blood
Tap into
The arteries
Cursed to immortality
A walking purgatory
Forced to see all you love
Decay before your eyes
Sustain unlife
Feed on the blood
Tap into
The arteries
Sustain unlife
Feed on the blood
Tap into
The arteries

Spilling ink on the page
As you hastily try to
Write history the way
You want it to be remembered
Revisionism distorts reality
The truth known only
To those who were there
To witness it first hand
Facts take a backseat to fiction
Passage of time blurs the narrative
Some trip on their own words
Struggling to keep up
With the story that they are telling
Revisionism distorts reality
To the way you want it to be remembered
It is a knife fight
Every time someone opens their mouth

Clawing at my soul
The experiences I have endured
Rending the flesh
As well as the mind
Pouring gold into my wounds
To fuse them closed
They may not be pretty
But I will never hide them
The scars are proof that I am healed
They may run deep but they are sealed
I chose to fight back
When I thought there was
No choice but to die
The scars are proof that I am healed
They may run deep but they are sealed

Sleep evades me like I have the plague
Stare at my ceiling until the sunlight cuts through the blinds
The silence is piercing as I toss and turn
I cycle through memories I wish I could just forget
They rattle around like glass inside my brain
This torture is something that I just cannot escape
I sometimes wish the sheets will wrap round my neck
At least in death I might finally get some rest
But my dreams
Aren't even safe
They just remind me
Of what I am missing
I must be awake
If I were asleep
Why would I dream
Such horrible things?

It is catching up with me
All the things I will never be
All my hopes and dreams
Trampled underfoot
By those walking over me
How can I hope to succeed
Just being a stepping stone in other people's lives
Strapping their problems to my back
My spine contorts until it snaps
Under the weight of it all
I can barely fucking stand
It drives me lower than the ground
And makes me one with the dirt
I will only know my worth
When it's far too late
The weight of the world
Bearing down on my shoulders
I’m starting to crack
The pressure is killing me
The pressure is killing me
The pressure is killing me
The pressure is killing me

Orange Mathematics

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.

Alive is so damn good. It's got a crushing claustrophobic feel to it - this is the sound track to panic. I want it pumped into my veins.

Hits the exact sweet spot between chaotic hardcore and more hook infused heaviness, with vocal stylings that are impossible to turn one’s attention from.
