Hiding away
Avoiding society
Canβt face the world
A reclusive entity
I put on a facade, when I go out
My shyness masked by intoxicants

Darkness spreads across the land
Seated upon its throne
Terror in civilian hearts
And panic in their bones
Fly you fools
The end is near
Steel yourselves
Death is here
From towers in the poisoned lands
The orders are given
Ash falls from forsaken skies
And smoke fills our lungs
Fly you fools
The end is near
Steel yourselves
Death is here
Fly you fools
The end is near

I feel incorporeal. Not comprised of matter. Having no material existence. But I can see my hands as they grasp for help. Nothing feels real. I don't feel tangible. Nothing feels. Awash with dismay. Pirouetting into the void like some coin spun by an unseen hand. A rock skipping along the surface. Soaring through the air, only feeling the water for a moment. Drowned in the end with overwhelming sensation. And I can see my hands as they grasp for help. Nothing feels real. Nothing feels tangible. Nothing feels.

Falling to my death
(breathe in, breathe out)
Fighting for my life
(breathe in, breathe out)
I'm still here
(breathe in, breathe out)
Change is in the air
I've changed myself, I've changed my name
No longer will I feel ashamed
The weight of your shadow's gone
This is who I a really am
Doom is near
Kill your fears

The world's one fire
It keeps getting hotter
People are dying in the streets
From disease, poverty, and police
The rich get richer
As we all suffer
What are we to do as the world crumbles?
We're marching in the streets, ignored by the elite
Now we're stuck in the middle of a mass extinction event
The dystopian future we always thought was fiction
Trapped in a system built by wealthy white men
And they thought of every single contingency plan
The world's one fire
It keeps getting hotter
People are dying in the streets
From disease, poverty, and police
The rich get richer
As we all suffer
What are we to do as the world crumbles?
Brutalized in the streets, by those sworn to protect the peace
Now we're spiraling out of control in this dystopian state
Ensnared by a structure built on greed and hate
Shadow and gloom close in from every side
How were we ever meant to survive?

Betrayed, deceived, let down, treachery
Stabbed in the back
Who can I trust?
A personal attack
I feel so fucking lost
I want to escape from this goddamn place
I've lost my faith in humanity
Betrayal has rattled me to the core
I don't know what to do anymore
A slap across the face
The word resounds again
A memory I can't erase
Betrayed
I want to escape from this goddamn place
I've lost my faith in humanity
Betrayal has rattled me to the core
I don't know what to do anymore
I must press on to my doom
With or without you

Fair and balanced
From people you know
A friend you can turn to
Facts first
But the fox is cunning
And he brought his friends
They speak in circles
Like vultures over prey
Their sources: each other
Their audience: themselves
The ouroboros feeds itself
By shitting in its mouth
Endless cycles of misinformed
Hearing the same lies from the day they're born
Injustice falls on closed eyes and poisoned hearts
It's not a deaf ear that refuses to hear
How do we stop the endless feed of prejudice and greed?
Targeted ads, a pandering myriad of lies and deceit
Presented to the proud who stand for what they believe
A country of freedom built on stolen land and slavery
It's sickening
That we're arguing
For human rights
And you'd say no

Ent Strike

Living in squalor and fear
'cause the rent goes up every year
and the landlord won't fix a thing
Says all I do is complain
Exploitation of the working class
A machination, to keep us in our place
Kill your landlord!
A monthly reminder of our indoctrination
Into the hellscape of capitalism
Every landlord's a parasite
Ruining their tenant's lives
Charging us to exist
And we're supposed to be content

Opeing Mechanisms

I hate myself more than I hate anyone else
And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself
'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me
Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing
Drink, forget, this nightmare that we live in
Smoke away, the pain that you feel everyday
Pop a pill, neglect everything you feel
Rail the line, pretend everything is fine
No amount of alcohol can end the pain
There's not enough drugs to end the suffering
People are starving, living without homes
While men in uniforms flaunt their guns
There's kids in cages, there's death in the streets
And you say these murderers protect the weak
Revolution will not come
If we're sitting in our rooms
When your votes stop changing things
How will you cope with all the dead human beings?
I hate myself more than I hate anyone else
And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself
'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me
Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing

Alone again, condemned
No home, no friends, abandoned
Engulfed in hopelessness
Crushed by a deluge of stress
Dread shrieks like a bird of prey
Hunting me as I run away
Darkness deeper than the eye can see
Colors lost, my senses leave me
A light when all other lights go out
Calms my nerves, suspends the doubt
A moment of clarity, I think I'm fine
But nightmares stir in the back of my mind
Fear still fills my heart
A terror waits out there in the dark

Never Gonna Give You Ope
02:24
|
|

|
Never going to give you up
There's no hope of returning
Intrusive thoughts you can't unthink
Devouring your mind
You have to let go of this fucking thing
Or it will consume your life
Can't let go so easily
The habit's been formed
It gets harder to repress the urge
The longer you hold on
I want to go home
Only time will tell
If you can save yourself

So much time has passed
There and back again
This thing has followed me home
I thought I was finally done
A fading scar from the past
A reminder not to go back
To the way things were before
Overwhelmed by fear
I still hate myself some days;
but there are others;
where I can live with the decisions I've made.

This journey has torn me apart
My home no longer has my heart
I'm leaving and I'm not coming back
I'm finally letting go of the past
That's haunted me for so long
I'm finally done, I'm fucking done

Flowerpot Records Ohio
A record label based out of Berea, Ohio, putting out CDs and tapes from artists around the country.
Flowerpot Records recommends:
I Was Drunk At This Show
by Graves
from the same show as the Warning Shot! recordings, and so far as i can tell this was the only time they performed live.
go to album
Eternally a favorite album. A band that knocks it out of the park every time. Wild songwriting that comes across as a combination of In Rainbows-era Radiohead and Freak Out! era Zappa.

Nothing's Ever Silent (2016 Remaster)
by Reflections Of Stars
acoustic indie instrumental post-rock. warm sounds and cold sounds. lots of different instruments, only two people. a good winter record.

The Feather Tipped The Serpent's Scale
by Eagle Twin
supported by 7 fans who also own βMordoomβ
This band is criminally underrated. Hints of Melvins for me. Love the vocals!
go to album
Swamp Witch - The Slithering Bog
by Swamp Witch
supported by 6 fans who also own βMordoomβ
Murky, bottom-heavy doomy metal that sucks you in and swallows you up. I love how the album moves from swamp as metaphor for the self-delusions that hold us back to bogs and the ancient remains they conceal within as pathways to deeper, terrifying spiritual awakenings that reveal the primeval horrors that lurk just at the edges of our consciousness.
