Angels with dirty souls

this a tale of two minds
spawned in as a child with might
so full of life
then the world saw your face
and cast you out
into the night
into oblivion
set yourself on fire
born to love and hate
yourself and others
theres nothing left
nothing to find
but your own failures
am I worth saving
dancing on a wire
waiting for that fall
set yourself on fire
born to love and hate
you will lose everything

Murder by the lake

let me break away
let me slip away
I will never stay
I wont follow
yet im I'm crying on the floor
lying on your slab
guided by your spell
making reasons for your lies
placing them on me
guided by your hand
torture is the love I know
when love is a shameful thing to you and i
now that our time has come
witness all the times you said
that you have changed
what still remains are the bruises on my heart and on my soul
no one will ever know what I'm about to do
now turn around
and face the water
I'm going to kill you now

Kiss me poison
03:46

I keep coming back cause theres nothing out there
the colors of temptation
gives me life
but I survived
(chug)
kiss me poison
so touch me
isolate from the scene
cause they know all your flaws
from your past and your future
but please forgive
for lying on your porch
with no memory of who I am
who i want to be
kiss me poison
touch me
love me

I saw you across the room
feeling like I do
so I touch myself
I wonder why you feel so good
making love , drinking wine
having fun with you the one
i wonder why it has to end
our world only lasts one night
i wonder why, i wonder why
breathe...
i saw you across the floor
dancing and moving so lovely
I want to make you mine one day
i saw you across the room
feeling like i do
so i touch myself
i wonder why you feel so good
making love, drinking wine
having fun with you the one
I wonder why it has to end
our world only last one night
I wonder why, I wonder night
breathe..
I wonder you feel so good
I wonder why you you're the one
I wonder why it has to end
our world only lasts one night
i wonder why
I wonder why you feel so good
yes you're the one, yes you're the one.

the streets are empty
influx of change
the death of many
no spare of pain
take the consequence of time
take the consequence of inaction
you're the disease that I can't see
please dont breath and stay clean
families are hurting
your lover dies
the pressure mounting
to save our lives
the nation cries
you're the disease that I can't see
please dont breath and stay clean
don't touch me,
you're the disease that I can't see
please dont breath and stay clean
the streets are empty
influx of change
the streets are quiet
the nation cries...
the nation cries...
the nation cries...

Dies Irae

moving bodies
no longer move
we all wind up in a room
they shed a tear and move on
ashes atoms its all the same
ashes atoms no one to blame
losing minds and losing fights
the only cancer is life
they shed a tear and drink a beer
ashes atoms its all the same
ashes atoms no one to blame
never bring me down
cause i will rise
ashes atoms its all the same
ashes atoms no one to blame

just a face flowing through a time
where all she does is play a mime on screen
taking your dime and making it on two feet,
but you don't care to know her and the price she bears
youre adored
and the hands applaud but you feel isolated and fake
cause I'm nothing till I'm a picture on their wall, you're adored
I know what has to be done
in order for people to see me
cause the fruit of the womb
just like the true hearts of men are in decay
and you still don't care to know her
cause im nothing
till im a picture on their wall
no one real loves me
just my body and sheen
taking your dime and making it on two feet,
but you don't care to know her and the price she bears
cause i'm nothing
cauae I'm nothing
no one real loves me
cause I'm not real

everything twisted
no one knows but me
showing no feeling
is it tears or fears
I cant remember ever hugging you
I cant remember ever embracing you
but nothing is wasted can you see me
nothing is shredded can you hear me
nothing is broken but can you fix me
nothing is faded
I still love you
just can't show you
everything shaded
now i know its me
showing no patience
is it tears or fears
I cant remember ever telling you
I cant remember ever showing you
but nothing is wasted can you see me
nothing is shredded can you hear me
nothing is broken but can you fix me
nothing is faded
I still love you
just can't show you
everything twisted
no one knows but me
I can not see
but nothing is wasted can you see me
nothing is shredded can you hear me
nothing is broken but can you fix me
nothing is faded
I still love you
just can't show you

Catacomb

in a space so dim and dark searching for a pathway out
through a crevasse
lost in your thoughts.
cause I'm so scared
I am nervous and alone
not impervious
so much doubt
all the silenced voices, gone
but not in your head
your own shadow
leaves you blind
and twists your mind
I am nervous and alone
take a breath
take it in
feel fear that plagues you
cause i am nervous
and alone
no such fix
untill it breaks
I am nervous, so alone.

breathe just breathe
take your time and see
that we are free but we can't be seen
not without loss
beyond the stars
where am i now
strange new world
unknown charts
no way home
fall , just fall into the dark
cause we aren't free , we can't be the last one
beyond the stars
where am I now
dare i say theres nothing at all
but empty space

This has to be the best find for me in the last decade.I’ve connected with this album on a totally different level’ I listen to about 7 hours of music per day everyday most of which is new to me . Obviously music does different things to different people but most if not all the tracks on this album are Superb . Songs like Unwanted’ Gardens’ Shadows and Requiem all on side A . Then the B side with the fantastic’ New Clear Dawn’ Misthanthropology and Awake So glad I own this on Vinyl 🫶✌️

Goodbye Divine - Deluxe Digital Version
by Creux Lies
supported by 13 fans who also own “Chronoception”
Still a solid album, but not as impactful as their previous effort, 'The Hearth'. More restrained than its predecessor, this record is less of a punch in the face and more of a grower, with a lot of its nuances unpacking after a couple of spins. Great album in line with the quality of the former.
