lyrics

Demand I reveal myself to you
Every hour of every day
Devolved indignation
Thoughts irradiated at their source

No concept
Waste your time
An endless moment
Nothing to hide

The inside of my skull is lined with grinding teeth and concrete walls
I keep on breaking out of this cycle
Just to fall back in again and repeat the lies
I can’t remember what it’s like to be alone
Divergence met with vengeance in this place locked in abysmal cold

Each victory forgotten
Each day reborn, a wheel of fate
Each failure magnified
Each night identity erased

Hear them clawing away at the outside of your mind
Corrupted shapes and forms that bleed out horror by design
Retain your sense of time
You only have yourself to thank for letting them inside

Feel the tide reverse again
Trapped inside your world as it turns inside out
Feed the external hunger
That in turn feeds back into me

Foreigner to rest, chemicals you must ingest
Don’t you see this is a test, only never-ending
To find the space to slow this frantic pace
Is a hopeless endeavor, you are trapped here forever

Reflected, redacted
See through your eyes, one of the hive
I can see the gamma waves light up your spine
Whether or not you go on, what’s yours is mine

What’s yours is mine

Each victory forgotten
Each day reborn into our hands
Each failure magnified
Each nightmare seems to never end
Hear them clawing away at the outside of your mind
Corrupted shapes and forms that bleed out horror by design
Retain your sense of time
You only have yourself to thank for letting them inside

Absolvere
by Signs of the Swarm

supported by 6 fans who also own “Teeth and Concrete”

Take everything that's brutal and mix it together on a deathcore basis. Put the seasoning Signs Of the Swarm call their own into consideration and what you get is basically Absolvere. A perfectly diverse brutal beast with the occassional addition of clean vocals that are not bad. Could have done without them though. mourner
