'Midnight Acolyte' - Lyrics

Dynomaniac - drum set transcription

       (Intro)
       In this focus; I am useless
       In this focus; we are worthless
       Bloodstain, nicked vein
       Locked far away
       Obscure detour
       Sell me to the stars
       (Verse)
       Burnt soil
       Gold skies
       Mortal plight
       (Chorus)
       Sanguine ocean
       Bones on trial
       Refuse to move
       Suicidal
       Am I too high, am I too high
       Social pustule
       Scratch at the walls
       Inside my mind
       Hallways entwine
       Am I too high, am I too high
       Cured from death, primed with shallow
       Breath
       (Verse)
       Locked far away
       My friend in solitude
       Solitude
       (Chorus)
       Sanguine ocean
       Bones on trial
       Refuse to move
       Suicidal
       Am I too high, am I too high
       Meat flayed from trees
       River of screams
       Cause and effect
       It’s malefic
       Am I too high, am I too high
       (Bridge)
       Cursed with a life I don’t
       Want, shamed with the life I
       Lead, my head swirling with
       Indecipherable dreams
       This is mine, this is not mine
       This is mine, this is not mine
       This is mine, this is not mine
       This is MINE
       I’m useless
       (Verse)
       I was human once
       Inviolate
       (Chorus)
       Sanguine ocean
       Bones on trial
       Refuse to move
       Suicidal
       Am I too high, am I too high
       Smoldering filament
       Stentorian
       Corrosive unbridled
       Suicidal
       Am I too high
       Speaking to myself ‘cause this is fucking hopeless
       YEAH


Laissez-scarce - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Sacralize
       Tantalize
       Agonize
       Blind pursuit of you
       (Pre-chorus)
       Capital consuming
       Try, try, try to soothe me
       Knowing when the next crumb
       Where will it fall from?
       Today’s purpose; dearth will not serve us
       Greed is the steed, allegiance to the creed
       (Chorus)
       No signal from home planet
       Transmissions were abandoned
       The dynamo has spoken
       Godless, without thought, march as we’re taught
       (Verse)
       Magnified
       Terrified
       We cannot help you, we can’t help you
       Your mistakes are not welcome here anymore
       Failed on your knees, flailing free
       (Pre-chorus)
       Capital consuming
       Try, try, try to soothe me
       Knowing when the next crumb
       Where will it fall from?
       Today’s purpose; dearth will not serve us
       Greed is the steed, allegiance to overfeed
       (Bridge)
       You know, every single road we’ve taken to here
       Is not feasible; we’re not reasonable
       Are we not one?
       We’ve come undone
       Utopia’s grasp; built on roads of the past
       (Chorus)
       No signal from home planet
       Transmissions were abandoned
       The dynamo has spoken
       Godless, without thought, march as we’re taught
       The color in our eyes blindsides
       In time they will leave us behind


Menticide - drum set transcription

       (Intro)
       Mind control
       You’re a machine
       Mind control
       Eat and sleep
       (Chorus)
       In the glow
       Of the screen light
       Modern flow
       Flooding our lives
       (Verse)
       Everything is different presently
       Calmly awaiting to careen
       Occluding far worse thoughts
       And drowning in apathy
       (Refrain)
       In these days you’ll, you’ll see
       When your heart stops beating, feeling
       (Chorus)
       In the glow
       Of the screen light
       Aureoles bathing
       Escapism feels right
       (Bridge)
       Ruined by your own impetus
       Plastic enslaves you, generates your milieu
       Midnight acolyte, we abhor the detour
       Midnight acolyte, when we shine we’ll burn bright
       But you can’t stand yourself, can you?
       But you can’t just put it down, turn around
       And stand upright
       (Verse)
       Everything is perfect presently
       Merged with a vessel of digital dreams
       The dire thought of reality makes me scream
       (Refrain)
       In these days you’ll, you’ll see
       When your mind stops reeling
       In these days you’ll perceive
       When your heart stops beating, feeling
       Resound; confound
       Can’t see
       (Outro)
       Mind control
       You’re a machine
       Mind control
       Swipe, don’t speak
       Mind control
       Hypnotic means
       Mind control
       Corporate fiends


Heresiarch - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Wanna go back in time
       Re-endure what is familiar
       Wanna go back in time to lie to that kind
       Back to when it all was peculiar
       (Chorus)
       There’s a sucker born one minute too soon
       The standard of nothing
       You can’t unstuck you
       (Verse)
       The corridors of consciousness, they may bluff
       Entertain in Jesus’s name on your living room rug
       You don’t know what you mean to me
       May you thrive in bliss and agony
       (Chorus)
       There’s a sucker born one minute too soon
       The standard of nothing
       You can’t un-fuck you
       (Bridge)
       Dystopian signs that you’ll never see
       (Verse)
       This is the last time, one of a kind
       Retrospect’s not always 20/20
       You can’t flee society with a lonely mind
       Retrospect’s not always 20/20
       Channeling a nephilim, the mind is the strongest drug
       May you thrive in bliss and agony


Epiphyte - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Slovenly
       Attaching
       I’m busy not drifting
       Cloy me, toy me, lie to me
       Lie to me, stopgap
       Dirt primrose path
       On my way through
       (Chorus)
       My camera lens
       Is making amends
       Poisonous sentiment
       Vintage lust experiment
       Beauty’s such a chore
       And we are all whores
       Back in the runaround
       I have exhausted this town
       (Verse)
       A breathless moment and I’m
       I’m scolded, beholden
       I’m acting like the asshole I
       Should have always been
       (Bridge 1)
       My ichor, the liquor, do something for once
       My ichor, the liquor, do something for once
       I’m busy
       Not drifting
       My blight is an epiphyte
       Obscure detour
       Sell me to the stars
       (Bridge 2)
       Unknowing
       Acquiescing
       I’ll be left without a thought
       I couldn’t care less about anything
       (Chorus)
       My camera lens
       Is making amends
       Poisonous sentiment
       Vintage lust experiment
       Beauty’s such a chore
       And we are all whores
       Back in the runaround
       I have exhausted this town


Nadir - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Deny me
       Cogs in machines
       Trapped in here
       With my fears
       One on one
       Wraiths in the sun
       I could die
       Should I mind?
       Lacerate
       Flesh exudes hate
       It’s a race
       (Chorus)
       Now it’s time
       To kill one another right
       In this room
       Now it’s time
       To maim each other
       Slaughter rules
       In this room
       (Interlude)
       Die, die, die
       Die, die, die
       Moldy pissant
       Die, die, die, DIE
       (Verse)
       Kidnapped, tied back
       Who’s first?
       My thirst
       (Chorus)
       Now it’s time
       To kill one another right
       In this room
       Now it’s time
       To maim each other
       Slaughter rules
       In this room
       Forced enmity
       Flies are biting
       On my bilious self
       (Bridge)
       To confuse or flatter
       Whatever makes the truth matter
       Slaver
       (Chorus)
       Now it’s time
       To kill one another right
       In this room
       Now it’s time
       To maim each other
       Slaughter rules
       In this room
       Now it’s time
       To kill one another right
       Here
       Charlatans I see
       Truth-seekers turnkeys
       Now it’s my room, my room


Dog-ear - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Time doesn’t wait
       Blind addlepate
       Try to mitigate
       Time doesn’t wait
       I can’t see it
       (Pre-chorus)
       Stumbling inside of myself
       Lilliputian musician
       Stumbling inside of myself
       No indolent eidolons
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       (Chorus)
       Dross gloss
       Panegyrics
       Tchotchke
       Epidemic
       Careen
       Moving moxie
       Uncouth milieu
       Stymied
       (Verse)
       Time doesn’t wait
       Cacoethes takes
       Oneiric escape
       Time doesn’t wait
       Sinking
       (Pre-chorus)
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       This is to myself
       Stumbling inside of myself
       Moribund, my devotion
       Stumbling inside of myself, SELF
       Anathema, my method
       (Bridge)
       Time doesn’t wait for anyone, the essence of your puissance
       Time doesn’t wait for anyone, the essence of your puissance
       (Chorus)
       Dross gloss
       Panegyrics
       Tchotchke
       Epidemic
       Careen
       Moving moxie
       I can’t, I won’t dog-ear my life


Blackguard - drum set transcription

       (Verse)
       Everyday, everyday
       Everyday I think about it
       Everyday I think about it
       (Pre-chorus)
       I’m not so sure I can adore
       I’m not so sure
       Leaving her front door
       (Chorus)
       Listening to my own heartbeat
       Listening to a deadbeat, I’m
       Stupid enough to believe
       That I am able to forgive me, me
       (Verse)
       Everyday I forget to smile
       Everyday I forget to smile
       (Pre-chorus)
       I’m not so sure I can adore
       I have disabused my red blues
       Somehow I’m leaving now
       Obstinate in my views
       (Bridge 1)
       Lying proof: this is me
       Such a spectacle
       (Chorus)
       Listening to my own heartbeat
       Listening to a deadbeat, I’m
       Foolish enough to believe
       That I am capable of loving me, me
       (Bridge 2)
       Recourse for myself
       Atone for this hell
       Autumn will dispel
       Winter nights kill
       My acropolis
       Lacking vital plinth
       I’ll take one more kiss
       Prolong the myth
       (Outro)
       Lying proof: buried deep
       This is over


Halcyon - drum set transcription

       See no hear no speak no evil, pulled from lacuna
       Endowed with that which inward sounds external bound; soma
       Hidden, broken, remembering all the times that were not shared
       Morning smells of disinfectant
       I knew I wasn’t liked
       Everything is different
       I’m a machine
       Here to fuck and eat
       I’m such a failure
       I don’t give a shit
       So much I’m drowning in it
       Pulled from under
       He who stunts personal growth for financial gain will go on to lead life a broken soul
       Y’know it’s funny, I had it figured out
       I think it’s funny, I had it figured out
       I don’t know shit
