Headspinning Bias

One to defy the other
Both ferment the smother
Cathedral sized embellishment
To defy the other
Headspins, headspins, headspins
A headspinning bias
Fuck
A headspinning bias
Trotted out on display
For the rush and stumble
An open mic exorcism
For the rush and stumble
A stampede of anxiety
Intact to refine this
Acts of defiance
Forgotten alliance
A headspinning bias
One to defy the other
Both ferment the smother
Acts of defiance
Acts of defiance
Your loyalty bled you dry
Headspins, headspins
Your loyalty bled you dry
Bled you dry
One to defy the other
Both ferment the smother
Acts of defiance
Acts of defiance
Headspins
A headspinning bias
For everything that you've ever known that you've let go
There will be urgency to fuck you as you follow
Intact to refine this
Acts of defiance
Forgotten alliance
A headspinning bias

I'd rather endless sleep, endless sleep
I've grown at peace with the thought of an eternal slumber
Senses drowned out by constant noise, constant noise
Catastrophic failure, intensely vacillating
Here I stand bleeding out, echoes of sin, echoes of sin
These stitches slowly, rip free from skin
Painted an improper shade of guilt, shade of guilt
Everything comes pouring out, everything comes pouring out
Unstable paroxysm
Awash with fear
Fucking asleep, unable to free myself
It's breathing down my neck
I will paint you a proper shade of guilt
No amount of validation, you're staying nothing to me
Callous nature, the anguish and the sanity
I'm out of time and sick of grasping for words to define this
It's breathing down my neck
Constant hypervigilance
Forever watching over my shoulder
Never again
Painted a proper shade of guilt
Pain has displaced me
Watching over my shoulder
Never again, never again
I am not fit to endure
This fucking fear
My blood falls to the floor
Everything comes pouring out
Unstable paroxysm
Awash with fear
Unstable paroxysm

Every day I live the trauma again
I'm placing this out in the open
I've become one with my pain
I have no choice in this anymore
My burning frustration
Mind over matter but nothing to be said
Mind over matter but nothing to be said
In my home, in my haven
It now brings nothing but fear and pain
Each day the people around me get to see it
This fucking violence
Weak, I'm living out a fucking hollow existence
Weak, I'm living out a fucking hollow existence
I wonder how much I underestimate myself
Cascading words that whirl within
You brought this all upon yourself
And the great sleep that lies upon my mind
You brought this on yourself
My burning frustration
Mind over matter but nothing to be said
Am I fit to walk this path I've chosen
Blinded by my own rage
Crying for air, yearn to be free from despair, biting down through my tongue
Blood swiftly wells in my lungs
I will never be rid of this memory
Left with me for eternity
Regurgitation of the pain
Regurgitation of the pain

Bent Pace

Disorientate
Hands shaking and finally
Gifted with strength, gifted with strength
Great strides
Vision tunnels
I am steeped in pride
If it doesn't happen soon then it never will
If it doesn't happen now then it never will
Stamp into your chest
You can hear me right
If it doesn't fucking happen now then it won't
You can hear me right
You're fucking lagging behind and I won't bend my pace to your mind
Forever blind and lagging behind
You can hear me right
You're fucking lagging behind and I won't bend my pace
My hands are gifted with strength
Great strides
Vision tunnels
I am steeped in pride
If it doesn't fucking happen now then it won't
You're fucking lagging behind and I won't bend my pace to your mind
I am steeped in pride
And I won't bend my pace to your mind
You're fucking lagging behind
And I won't bend my pace to your mind
Hands shaking and finally gifted with strength
Windows like you were built to be broken
Windows like you were built to be broken to let air in
Windows like you were built to be broken
Windows like you were built to be broken to let air in

Calloused mind, calloused mind
Incessant falling has made me blind
Solid stone in place of bones - my seismic demise
Putrescent tumours in the mind
Waste of life
Wasting time
Time I can't rewind
Caught in patterns of behaviour I have the will to fracture
To come out swinging
To come out swinging hard
Staring inwards
My milieu, blighted
Soil tainted from the start
This contradiction, pointless blame, never who I want to be
I have strayed so far
I see no light, putrid lakes of tar
Am I cursed to burn this very heretical
Earth I tread
Earth I tread
My ignorance
Demonstrating
A lack of repentance
My ignorance
Demonstrating
A lack of repentance
My milieu, blighted
Soil tainted from the start
I see no light, putrid lakes of tar
Undiluted fervour
Need constricting every waking moment
War of attrition
A constant blight against yourself
Against yourself, against yourself
When your choices don't change things it all loses worth
Left to die in this wasteland
Marred by the ills of man
Left to die in this wasteland
I can see my point of failure
Crushed by the weight of my own fallacies
My blighted milieu, my undiluted fervour
Vision cascading, pounding waves of dissonance
I can see my point of failure
Crushed
Left to die in this wasteland
I can see my point of failure

Futurum Obscurus

When you know you know
Clenching around your iris
Crushed vision
Futurum obscurus
With time unwound you found confidence
Fuck all that you were
With time as a whirlwind
Fuck all that you tried to be
Would you spill all that you know
Or perhaps give me just a little
Would you spill all that you know
Or perhaps give me just a little
When you know you know
Consistency is everything
When you know you know
Consistency is everything
Crushed vision
You're spent
Crushed vision
You're fucking spent
With time unwound you found confidence
Fuck all that you were
Fuck all you tried to be
Futurum obscurus
Let yourself go to seed
Break and enter
Glass damaging
I've waited coiled for so many years
If these walls could talk, oh the stories they'd tell
The inevitable springing flurry
Futurum obscurus
It's time to leave, it's time to leave
Return yourself to the field, return yourself to the field
Let yourself go to seed and never grow
Let yourself go to seed and never grow

...And Again Into The Light
by Panopticon

I think the concluding song encapsulates what I most enjoy about this album: a defiant hopefulness that stands against the dark, determined to rise again when its knocked down, determined that it will know hope.

The Behavior Of Fighting Animals
by Lavish Glass
Jagged, brutal hardcore that borders on noise at times—in a good way!—every element ramped into the red.

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan.
