Eternalism 03:41
lyrics

Eternalism Time, once like a river flowing free, Now a captive sea. Moments lost forevermore, a vast wasted shore. The dreams we dreamed, the plans we made now lay shattered in disarray, broken and washed away, now the face of time lost. Now the face of time, lost I’m lost in time. The moments I’ve let go, the memories that I have sold We find these ways to kill our selves by fading out or burning down, never once considering that these moments are worth living. Never once considering that this life is worth living, never once considering that this moment is worth living, now. The moments I’ve let go, the memories that I have sold

Make your plans then let them go, there’s no options left here. So keep your feelings left unknown, the truth is no one really cares about you or anyone else. It’s the truth of what we’re dealing with today. No one else can see the night, the way I see it through my eyes. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go. So keep your hair back, keep your eyes down low. Don’t make a sound, and never rock the boat. No one else can see the night, the way I see it through my eyes. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go. Wait, there’s more you need to know; Stay with me, never let her go.

about

Degenerator is a sonic experiment that I conducted to unleash the noise that was haunting my mind. I wanted to capture the essence of retro The Smashing Pumpkins, with their saturated fuzzy guitars, but also add a touch of gothic darkness that I find deeply appealing. Interestingly, we started with the drums, and then built everything else on top of them. The result is a contrast to anything I have done before. It’s darker, but not as heavy, as All Else Fails, slower, but more existentially profound than the Misfires, and though it has more Structure than The Secret Places of the Earth, it retains some of the mystery.

The Abyssal Throne is a lyrical journey of how I fit in the cosmic scheme. It touches on themes of time, madness, despair, and contrasting dark and light. The music, which came first, was shaped to match these themes.
