lyrics

The nectar here runs thick and sweet
And leeches taste from all you eat
But your needless heed to drink your fill
Has come from you and always will

To forget
A thought that ought nought to flay your freedom
But to sour above the sore afraid
The past at last out of your grasp
Somethings missing, drink deep

The water here accentuates
The bitter taste of waste
Your eyes will lie as you imbibe
Again but see his face

The stomach churns and begs in turns
It yearns for more than nectar's burns
But still you let the liquid pour and beg for more
Drink deep and forget

It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay

The nectar here runs sweet and deep
It sieves and leaves you heaving leads
In evening runs the channel free
And leaches feed in through your sleeves

Your eyes will lie
And my disguise
Will fool no one
But some will die

We free see inward
Blind the eyes
That see the garbage
For the flies

You kneel before the healer here
To never sever feel no fear
A song for the dead, there are so many
Drink deep, and forget

It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017

Tomb Absolute

An ambitious, yet tightly executed, death metal debut that trades in crushing riffs, funereal effects, and even the odd Shakespeare quote. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2023
