Human Cry
from Eunoia by Corrupt Moral Altar
lyrics
This town has a drug problem
It rattles the pipes and systems
The water here smells strange.
Crack head on a bicycle
Living a life eliptical
These machines stink of meat.
Someone set a homeless person on fire
I just don't understand it
Somewhere there's a dog barking in a public toilet.
As the paint peels the facade falls away
I'm sure it's fine it just needs a new lick of paint
Not the odd broken window or two
Essentially we need to fix me and you.
Days are long but the years fly past
I feel like we are running out of time
I want to live. I want to last.
I want something real
I don't want to just exist
There's nothing beneficial being a nihilist.
As the paint peels the facade falls away
I'm sure it's fine it just needs a new lick of paint
Not the odd broken window or two
Essentially we need to fix me and you.
As I'm swept away
I hear hear a human cry
"I am but a fly
Drowning in the piss of life"
Over and over
And over again.
Give us a way out
A chance to begin.
(Over and over)
With one hand in our hearts
(And over again)
And the other in our heads
(Give us a way out)
There's always a cost
(A chance to begin)
And change isn't cheap. Isnt cheap.
as I'm swept away
I hear hear a human cry
"I am but a fly
Drowning in the piss of life"
Drowning in the piss of life.
It rattles the pipes and systems
The water here smells strange.
Crack head on a bicycle
Living a life eliptical
These machines stink of meat.
Someone set a homeless person on fire
I just don't understand it
Somewhere there's a dog barking in a public toilet.
As the paint peels the facade falls away
I'm sure it's fine it just needs a new lick of paint
Not the odd broken window or two
Essentially we need to fix me and you.
Days are long but the years fly past
I feel like we are running out of time
I want to live. I want to last.
I want something real
I don't want to just exist
There's nothing beneficial being a nihilist.
As the paint peels the facade falls away
I'm sure it's fine it just needs a new lick of paint
Not the odd broken window or two
Essentially we need to fix me and you.
As I'm swept away
I hear hear a human cry
"I am but a fly
Drowning in the piss of life"
Over and over
And over again.
Give us a way out
A chance to begin.
(Over and over)
With one hand in our hearts
(And over again)
And the other in our heads
(Give us a way out)
There's always a cost

And change isn't cheap. Isnt cheap.
as I'm swept away
I hear hear a human cry
"I am but a fly
Drowning in the piss of life"
Drowning in the piss of life.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

The Molten Larva is one of, if not THE MOST, pissed off track(s) I've ever heard thus far..

A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck.

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10
