"Dead faces molting physicality, coming together to feel god in heaven, lulled & lured like a fish to a baited hook."

Disrupted presence awaits
cataract
over the warm air

Over
& I fell further
under the below
the bottom & flipped
against the sides
I am cast aside
by that very same
cold shell
that bleeds
my lifted skull
under & over again
all & evermore with
the slightest trace of
clarity

—————————

Throughout the duration in which this entire album was recorded, I often daydreamed about both a hidden garden sanctuary & a torture chamber only large enough for a human cockroach to squirm inside in. Before I knew it, an incredibly distinct melody had branded itself deep into my mind.

At one point it haunted me in the form of a sleep paralysis: the dark silhouette of a humanoid figure clutching my entire body with its fingers piercing my insides & a deep dark red circle perpetually smoldering in the abyss of my mind's eye.

Constantly & continuously smoldering—that delicate melody.

Recorded 2016—2017.
