lyrics

You think you have me
With one foot in the ground, one on my chest
On the path that you stray I cut a straight line

Face to face I see you now
You've become the reason you protected yourself but worse
These mistakes took thirty years to correct
Protecting me from what
Explain it

Cut my teeth on your misery
I know its hard but I make it look easy
I walk alone
It's your fault not a mystery
So take your fingers off the scales where my worth is weighed

Inflicting pain when you feel the same
You try to push it down but guilt remains, cut it off
More than a stain it’s the same thing that I release with my downswing

Become the blade

Broken by failure
The same thing that destroyed you made me
Become the blade
Avert your eyes
Hide from the light
Never see what you’ve become
Die by the sword

Dragging behind
Never found yourself in life
Soak the cloth in lies and wipe away what it felt like
Dispositive you say
Then push your outcome on me
I think you’re afraid there was a better way
Safety and sanctity nowhere to be found
Where's your humanity
Casted by gravity
Poured in a mold I wasn’t built to bear

I walk alone
To protect my home
You should see how they've grown but you'll never know

When your instrumental metal's chug chugga chug chugs arent heavy enough, here comes Fractalize with an amazing style of music that i can only describe as rhytmic earthquakes. More like chug. chak-chak. chug chugaa CHOOM Chak CHOOM. Each song is an intense conflict taking place deep underground in the darkest, dankest cave, with interesting progression of one musical idea to another. iheartf2p

Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument. This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking. Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant. Lute FP
