Signal's too strong and too broad now foreign waves upon our shore red light means we've gone too fast god blindfolded speaks truth that cannot last Increase in novelty and complexity? please we're just buying back what once was free Consumed in fluorescence, escape the present miss the first steps and hush the cries pacified we notice no victims upload our whole lives, silence the child If this is progress, I beg of you look to our young if this is for the sake of curiosity then surely there's enough work within surely there's enough Be it matter or spirit we can reduce it but making whole demands so much more amputate my empathic instinct 'cause with it I could never face them

How would you prefer your oppression? under the millstone or haunted by it subdued by omission? Is it not your flavour of aggression? think the weapon would look better bearing badge and familiar colours? Archon there's no lord over Eden chaos and there's no system to fuck Scared to loosen the chains of your brethren pay your way through the flames never looking back at the mass see the hopeless writhing You were taught the nature of humanity intrinsic evil to tame lest life of man become solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short The nihilist has won we've cultured emptiness to prove it no need to feel it's not like this is real bottle it up, son But it's too much to ignore it's too much to ignore Enjoy the laughter while it lasts 'cause play is waste no fragrance no taste better bottle that up, son But where's my promised reward? where's my promised reward? So scared of man's innate depravity somehow he generates this evil as if he's closed from the world the notion's absurd If only it was this clear if only I were not prone to bias, swarm and hormone to bitterness and fear Archon won't you please play the villain This vague life safe and soulless without antagonist nerfed consequence Leaves me ever the child ever churning ever refusing ever Ever the child ever churning ever refusing ever ever the rebel How would you prefer your oppression? under the millstone or haunted by it subdued Archon there's no lord over Eden chaos and there's no system to fuck

What is it that triggers me so? why am I so easily provoked? I too sense the injustice injustice so I shouldn't be feeling this Is it the false dichotomy? does it threaten my masculinity? I still don't think that's it 'cause I see sexual cathexis as debility My petite bourgeois heiress if you don't feel oppressed by these working-class monsters these fuck-hungry plebs You must have stockholm syndrome mistook the patriarch for your chaperone and if you don't feel like a victim yet just ask and I'll cast the first stone Both still bleed for soil and for seed both will bleed to meet our needs To express the sexes with monetary measure to pollute what could be precious derived from the premise Man malign woman weak So you push guns in the hands of our daughters thinking there's empowerment in violence thinking Mama was your slave name our fear and worship are both the same Man malign woman weak What is it that triggers me so? why am I so easily provoked I to sense the injustice both still bleed for soil and for seed Both still bleed for soil and for seed both will bleed to meet our needs

I've told you before you should see what a curse it is that we should be alive in the end times   We who with pretence of artistry who sound alarm and do cry: "see, thy stars doth descend!" surely deserve to be just a little deified   Witness me, my affinity in my natural naturality   Carve a heart in every tree oh, shame upon humanity   Never listened, never listened deserving of destruction? just maybe   Dream of smoke filled skies chocked in awe and paralyzed speak of losing time the myth of force epitomized   Is this melted steel these beads in my hair? is that a glimmer of hope in my thousand-yard stare?   My carpet bomb words that you never bought lay waste to the world burning "is" down to "ought"   One day you will know all along I was right and the earth I forgo in spite, in bitter spite   Never listened, never listened to my raving reductions witness me   Never listened, never listened deserving of destruction just maybe   Sound the alarm closing deadline lay your final gifts at narcissus' shrine   The extinguishing sun will be my time to shine   Dream of smoke filled skies chocked in awe and paralyzed speak of losing time knowing not what I personify   The higher the pedestal the greater the distance

Third Body 07:42
I can't stay here is there a door I haven't tried or a wire I have not coiled turn the light off and listen Starlight and oxidized iron can I identify I need a phantom to feel Ram, ram, ram ram, ram, ram Power to pull away from feeling every edge of your shape I can't know all of you unless I turn the light off and listen If this search does not cease I will never receive turn the light off and listen Turn the light off and listen turn the light off A master of resistance I keep on chasing the light failing to recognize it's already in my eyes As I knead truth and free will and love and death in my mind tower of words about ready to collapse it's so high Well, there's no need for masonry we build our own walls just fine now if only I could turn the light off If only we could turn the light off and listen String theory christ save me om shanti shanti Beneath the hum of this engine I imagine ghosts a stirring beneath the grind of this clockwork I fancy eyes are peeking through My heart led away from the civilized world skin and scent and careful pressure it was the silence that eased us inside when I turn the light off and listen listen Turn the light off and listen

Lead me in calm me down sing my lungs out in protest but you let go Free as I used to be then well that changed in time sow detachment in me and watch it grow See through fence and innocence as maternity fades away memory is where victimhood lies is it true or is it that “I”? Sneak a peek beneath the covers there's trauma to be had we've all been abandoned now by god and mum and dad I demand a world with a better view Peer-reared for all these years so the patterns reappear archaic lesions left for us to persevere But now there's a break at last these memories converge I've found the tools to heal to dismantle this house and purge I demand to see my home untorn torn Give away my word and say powerless and safe Dare not let this force work love in me it would merge the swarm and “I” I choose it all the pain, the joy the father, the mother It's always the self never some other

about

Delvoid Oslo, Norway

Hailing from the outskirts of Oslo, Delvoid is an alternative rock band with energetic and evocative live shows. Delvoid’s sound consists of noisy sound walls, vulnerable melodies, and mammoth-sized riffs. They chase the same white whale as Tool and Sigur Ros, but add their own flavour of psychedelia and minimalism to the hunt. ... more
