In-group alter, sacrifice thyself
Become unique like everyone else
Truth is negotiable and nothing here is free
Separate fiction from fact
Acknowledge but do not react
Measure and Quantum Troll collapse
Cult or Just Weird
Erroneous premise, Faulty logic
Cut from the same cloth, answers wanted
Ambiguous by design, plausible deniability
Separate fiction from fact
Acknowledge but do not react
Measure and Quantum Troll collapse
Seed of frustration and fear
Is it a cult or is it just weird?
Move along, really, nothing to see here

Feeling like I’m out of control the world is burning down
and nobody is reacting except with judgment what about
the people who cannot pretend that nothing’s really happening
No it’s not fine, nothing is OK and no I won’t calm down
Everyone is struggling coming undone and we must project
anything else to sheath ourselves or else it will be unbecoming
and I must remain presentable or else alone
Everyone is breaking chill pill overdoses all around
If you don’t fit, fake it until your shape shifts
Don’t react to anything, Do not leave your station,
Color in between the lines, Defensive murmuration
Physical, emotional pain sharing neural pathways
Reality experienced through never-ending fantasy
Experience shifting with expectations and schema
Rippling like waves across the surface of what’s real
Distorting what’s perceived as real
Experience is all subjective
Time and space perceived different based on the context
Evaluate yourself based on future prospects
and judge others based only on past analysis
Conflict a necessary part of progress
but to harm another is to harm yourself in the process
Everyone is breaking chill pill overdoses all around

The pod sat me down and in the haze I made out,
A familiar surrounding uncanny but no doubt,
I was back in the past and about to relax,
Yet a thought occurred to me that I could not take back,
It told me I could be free from my daily agony,
If I just made a small change a brighter future foreseen,
It's as simple as crushing a small squishy being,
My future manifests, cascading forwards like a dream
Yeah~
Crushing the thing was as easy as pie,
It writhed, I was overcome with pity, it died,
So many other small things around began to hide,
And like they crept, so too did a smile, my eyes,
They gleamed for the first time in a long time,
Waves of glee lapping like the beach at high tide,
Yet something was off back in the present I find,
The tide recedes as I grasp at the wet grains, my time...
Forward, the Future! Back, the Past!
I live somewhen, my path not mapped,
My mind unwound as I found out,
The benefits dashed upon the rocks, aground,
I changed things big, altered things small,
I struggled against the stream upon,
My precious pod agleam in the light,
No, somethings still not right...
I tried to change all things external,
Control the whims of fate eternal,
Charts and graphs, rituals and math,
Trajectory not on the predicted path,
I threw it all against the wall,
Entangled in my logical flaws,
I struggle to change everything else,
It could not be myself

Dawning Horror recommends:
Aephanemer is a master at weaving narrative throughout albums. Technically impressive musicianship combines with raw lyrics to leave you following the trail long after the tracks stop.

For those who are not familiar, The Raven Autarchy's Kaonashi is a great entry point into the never-ending streams of melodic sweeps and brutal, dynamic vocals. This band is unpredictable and solid.
