OF MATTER
Of matter
Shaped, formed
The ego shattered
Self inflicted eclipse
Devised by coins
Better than before
Emerge
Fully nude
Lobe upon lobe
Toppling pile of your useless flesh
Tossed aside
Ripe for a new beak
Of matter
Glommed, recycled
The ID defused
Dive into the notch
Top wallet
Mass cults
Emerge
A phallic doodle
A Frontal lobotomy
A new me
According to the scriptures
According to the law
I see sevens!
Of matter
Worn down, altered
Stripped of everything
Do you see my name?
Paper fever
No fucking cure

More Excuses

MORE EXCUSES
Worshiping a demon, a devil, a myth
Is just as ridiculous as worshiping the crucified Nazarene
Bored humans, confused humans
Attributing events, feelings, and existence
To imagined powers
Unanswered questions, impossible to answer
Falsely simplified into easy answers
Desiring power from dark forces unknown,
When the darkness is nowhere but within
Just more excuses
Created by humans to hate and kill
Fiction and folklore
Demons and monsters
Myths and magic are all fun
But they are not real
Flesh is real
Pain is real
Earth and sky are real
Both beautiful and ugly
Humankind as monster
Humankind as creator
Humankind as destroyer
These are real

Defamation

DEFAMATION
Self-righteous crusaders
Behind computers and phones
Craving constant validation
Stabbing their friends in the back
With blatant lies barfed onto social media
Always playing the victim, while being the abuser
When there are real victims who need help
Counterproductive
Self-serving
Detracting from the cause you claim to preach
Hypocritical unfiltered lies
A public execution is what you seek
True justice is not your goal
Incapable of empathy
Brutus, Judas, and Narcissus combined
I promise, everything is really not all about you

READ THE LYRICS
What are the bands you listen to screaming about?
Do you know?
Do you care?
Have you read the lyrics?
Are they crypto-fascist?
FUCK fascism
Are they blatantly fascist?
FUCK nazis
Do you know?
Do you care?

All The Books

ALL THE BOOKS
I read a book once
It was the only good book
The book that I smashed my genitals with,
The book that I gave my right arm to,
Took my time too
All of the pages summarized by ten
Opium dream madmen laws
I felt the lobotomy
All I could think was 3, 40, 6(66), 7, and then I rested
Imagery was not understood universally
And I faked my way through it
Amen

Currency The Only god

CURRENCY THE ONLY god
All is black
Pitched to the hue of each day
The Mesopotamian Shekel
Spent change
Every Friday
Wallets burst
Not only today
No difference
Sworn
Currency the only god
Sadly your religion
Excludes me from exploring
My world
On the Bible
Any book is read wrong
I’m fixated on the public pace
Spawn
Currency the only god
Currency the only god
Appetizers for centuries
Waiting to gorge
Time slotted Premonition
Sick
Allocated filth
Sticky sustenance to suck on
Spoon fed fate
Big dark land
Big dumb hell
Throat touch method
I see your digested cesspool
Each small piece ordered in person
And inhaled like a vacuum

Fallen

FALLEN
The gods have all fallen
Your god has fallen
Countless failed attempts to save ourselves
The collective human psyche
A fever dream
A fantasy
A wet dream
A nightmare
Self-flagellation
Self-immolation
Pure fiction
Guilt never ending
Self hatred
Whip your sins away
Burn your sins away
Guilt turned to hatred for others you deem as sinners
Whip their sins away
Burn their sins away
Think you’re righteous?
Self righteous
Think you’re humble?
Your ego is fucking staggering
Hubris is all
It makes me sick
It makes me laugh
It makes me angry
Think you know THE way?
You don’t

Chewed Sustenance

CHEWED SUSTENANCE
No research has ever shown
Anything if you can’t take the time
To pace the words with your anxiety,
We’re similar, we’re similar
the chimp logo
The agonizing reality of your shortcomings
And the whole timeline
While rushing every single second away
Send the trash
Spew the shit
Never listen
Only speak
Commiserate about your abscess
Wallow agapé
Adore the chunks of my fucking time
stolen for profit
Mouth open wide towards the sky
Too comfortable
Gawking at the chewed sustenance

Parasites

PARASITES
Filling your pockets with the blood of others
Stepping on whoever you can to reach the top
Your palaces are built on pain and corpses
Made of shit disguised as gold
While most of us toil and labor in the mud for basic needs
You hoard your blood-soaked dollar bills
Religion, racism, nationalism, violence, fear, and lies
All false, you’ll use anything to maintain your precious power
Nothing but rot inside
The pain and destruction you create are your only legacy
Know this; one day you’ll be nothing but dust

Disappear

DISAPPEAR
Sometimes I want to disappear
Far away from everyone and everything
Forever among the trees and the caves
Never to be found
Forgotten and left alone
The cycle of violent human madness never ends
Over and over
Generation after generation
Whatever progress is made
is destroyed by greedy liars,
violent bullies,
and power hungry narcissists
Incapable of empathy,
remorse,
or self-reflection.
Humans
Wallowing in our own mire of pointless drama and misery
The inevitable ouroboros of self-destruction
At least pain keeps some of us awake

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more.

This is a gorgeous album. I'm especially enamored with Lilit Hartunian's piece, but it is a beautiful album all around.
