Bury me deeper in
Falling down the deep abyss
Deft distraction can’t unlock
The implication the clock is ticking
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe I am deceived
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe reality
Do you believe
Repair/enslave in your disguise
For all the past has been a lie
Reinforcements rescue me
Complication you seemed so wise
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe I am deceived
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe reality
Do you believe
Don’t be confined
Don’t be defined
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe you are deceived
Do you believe what you see
Do you believe your memories
Do you believe

Damage Control
04:25
|
|||
|
The end’s the same we die in pain
Disguise can’t hide we’re all the same
Pretend all the while
hide behind a smile
The Truth lingers on
While the Ugliness spawns
Just ease the needle into my brain
How do you die
Blood-red under a cold grey sky
How do you die
A machine to serve the pain
How do you die
Find a way to keep my soul
How do you die
All that’s left is damage control
The line is drawn for all to see
Read in their eyes they’re after me
Swallow this reality
Make your own insanity
You can’t escape the dream
Instead you find that you’re dead
When this is done what will I be
How do you die
Blood-red under a cold grey sky
How do you die
A machine to serve the pain
How do you die
Find a way to keep my soul
How do you die
All that’s left is damage control

Downsect

|

|
Once of tension pound of flesh
Run me ragged fatal crash
Wasted pinion melted wax
Touch the Sun God attacks
Future sinners millions strong
March exurban chant the song
Out of space out of time
Inner fear born of slime
You got six legs got more than two eyes
You are a Downsect
Gods and demons mice and men
Princes paupers kill to win
Dirty feelings strung along
Pull the trigger feel the burn
Shriek in standby paralyzed
Put my hatred through your eyes
Out of land out of sky
Need to live need to die
You got six legs got more than two eyes
You got six legs got more than two eyes
You are a Downsect
I am a Downsect

Tryst
05:51

|
I chant the words
You shed your skin
I say the spell
You spill my sin
I draw the signs
You raise your hand
I open your veins
Rain old stone on the land
We are all lonely
Alone among the billions in the world
We are all lonely
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Four million light years to the nearest world
We are all lonely
Hey there Bright-eyes
Come and sit with me
Hey there Dark-eyes
Who do you want me to be
Hey there Soft-skin
Can you let me inside
Hey there Thin-skin
I’ll tell her how I tried
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Alone among the billions in the world
We are all lonely
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Four million light years to the nearest world
We are all lonely
Hey now God-send
Who are you today
Hey you Dead-end
Make you beg me to stay
Say now Little girl
Black eyes over your gun
Hey you Sanctified
Burn your eyes in the sun
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Alone among the billions in the world
We are all lonely
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Four million light years to the nearest world.
We are all lonely
We are all lonely
Alone among the billions in the world
We are all lonely
Every little boy needs a girl
We are all lonely
Four million light years to the nearest world
We are all lonely
every little boy needs a girl

Matte Black Smile
04:57
|
|||
|
I am a mirror, reflecting her matte black smile
Tears blur her image; angrily she wipes them away
Flesh is currency, haven't gotten paid in awhile
I found her living in a smoking ruin
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really want me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that I'm deep inside
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really need me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you're still alive
How did this end? She never was my friend
Just a blind whore with chromium eyes
Beside me, behind me, without me, within
Just as I make up my mind I want to do it again
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really want me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that I'm deep inside
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really need me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you're still alive
Matte black! Smile for me
Matte black! Smile for me
Matte black! Smile for me
Matte black! Smile for me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really want me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that I'm deep inside
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you really need me
Matte black! Smile for me, show me that you're still alive

Who am I
What did I do
It’s so unclear in the dark
I can’t see for the webs on my eyes
Her broken body lies before me like a toy
It was a mercy
God forgive me
She was dead anyway
I wrapped my hands around the gun
I wrapped my hands around my soul
Everything I knew is gone
Now I live inside a hole
The things they made me do
The things they made me see
The things they made me feel
Coming up inside of me
Put the fear in turn the hate on
You turn me into something I abhor
Put the gears in switch the code on
You turn me into something alien
What are you
What did you do
Facts are hard to come by in the night
Can’t feel the man that I once was
Their broken bodies on the floor once more
I bend to see the revenge I create every day
I wrap my arms around my God
I put my hands inside your shell
Everything I was is gone
Now I live inside this hell
The things they made me breed
The things they made me feed
The things they made me kill
Coming out in front of you
Put the fear in turn the hate on
You turn me into something I abhor
Put the gears in switch the code on
You turn me into something alien

Dysciple
04:29

|
Wake me shake me science save me
Rip my heart out by the strings
Thrill me nil me nightmares kill me
Protect me from the crawling things
This little creature hatched and grew
And merged its skin with mine you see
And the monster wet and pulsing
became a major part of me
My savior
I’m a dysciple
I’m God’s slave
The time is right
My savior
I’m a dysciple
In God’s grave
Slave me crave me baby save me
Rip my brain out by the spine
Chill me Pill me Lilly kill me
Protect me make me feel just fine
I spend my days and nights alone
Consuming plastic sex for food
Pulling on myself at times
To calm the monster’s mood
My savior
I’m a dysciple
I’m God’s slave
The time is right
My savior
I’m a dysciple
In God’s grave
My savior was given to me
Green/white pebble like a jewel
I traded old pain for a new brain
I shed my skin now watch me drool
The time is right

Taken Down
04:16

Everything you say
Everything you do
Everything you are
Everything you were
Gets digitized, gets written down, gets analyzed…
Gets you taken down!
Taken down!
Anything you think
Anything you fear
Anything you want
Anything you lose
Anything you fail
Anything you need
Anyone you love
Any way they can
Gets you taken down!
Taken down!
Anything you think,
Anything you fear,
Anything you want,
Anything you lose,
Anything you fail,
Anything you need,
Anyone you love,
Any way they can.
Gets you taken down!
Taken down!

Treason

Would you give your life for me
Would you let me weigh you down
Could you give me all of you
Can you ever understand
Will you let me break you down
Will you give your soul to me
Will you ever come around
Be what I want you to be
Your embrace like lead
You’re inside my head
I’m drowning in kisses
My mind turning red
Time is unkind while I’m trying to find
A reason to be what I am
Will I remain your friend
Well this time ever end
Will you go where I lead
Will you die for me
Can I keep you safe
Is there anywhere left to hide
Do I want you by my side
What has become of me
Crosshairs frame your face
The only way to keep you safe in my mind
then I’ll join you in death
No one can hurt us now
Would you give your life for me
Would you let me weigh you down
Could you give me all of you
Can you ever understand
Can you ever understand

Desperate Measures
04:49
|

|
Erase the marks I make
We move beyond the State
So tell me what’s at stake
Remove the men who hate
Here lies my sanity
It’s not for you to see
My hopeless imagery
Things that can make disease
It’s not for you to be
Who do you want to please
Puppet Democracy
It’s not for you to see
Puppet Democracy
It’s not for you to see
What does it do for me
You make the dividends
Control the bottom line
While making no amends
It’s just a waste of time
Try as I might I cannot feel
It’s impossible to heal
Puppet Democracy
It’s not for you to see
Puppet Democracy
It’s not for you to see
What does it do for me
What would you LIKE to see?

Wasting Away
05:51
|
|||
|
You said today you’d go away
The worst surprise but you smiled anyway
You said to me it’s better this way
There were things that you just realized
The hardest of knives pulled from my side
And the pain of handing it back to you
Was the Little One so far away
Who would never see our distant shores
I waste away
I said today it’d be ok
The best-laid plan was to think that anyway
I said to you I’m better today
Knowing that it was a massive lie
The sharpest of knives pulled from our sides
We use on the ones we love
Can’t cut away the rage and the pain
And the sounds of our cries
I waste away
Try as I might I cannot feel
It’s impossible to heal

Voice of the Echo Chamber
by Flesh Field
supported by 7 fans who also own “Deceptor”
What I live for! Discovered this band from Industrial music mags in the late 90s and ordered their first album after the Seattle industrial radio show 'On the Edge' played a track. Out of the blue, Bandcamp tells me Flesh Field is back, and oh damn, with a vengeance! Along with several album listens so far, I've been playing Grievance on loop if that says anything. Thanks for the new music FF!

The NYC-based ”East Asian cyber-metal” group explore musical combinations with a full-throated earnestness that bears fruit in bursts of creativity.

Harsh R's latest moves away from heavy, noisy industrial post-punk and into darkly melodic synth-pop with textural production.

Catchy, danceable, and appropriately dramatic industrial/EBM that easily recalls Wax Trax!'s heyday.

World On Fire
by Blue Eyed Christ

An absolute barnburner of a political CD featuring some of Blue Eyed Christ's best work (including the Trash Deity side project). Guest stars from En Esch and more are just gravy!
