lyrics
Defining a means
Of self-preservation
Draw from your inspiration
Express infinite potential
Let it take control
Maintain relevance
Before hope falls into perpetual discord
Disobey
Despite the ways paved
To have forgone serpent-like mutations
The shedding of the skin
No innovation as you lay pre-made
Mannered in accordance
To all those who have been wronged
You'll bathe in a former
Shredded dermis, without purpose
All that's left, expired desires
Fletchers and wretches
Mounting weightless curses
To worship at all means these loyalties are not your own
Digging holes into their souls
Do as you were told
Idol eyes shape the mold
While you dissolve
You hold status no more in a place
Where all pick at the bones
Exemplary art, mediocrity comes to fruition
The same old thrift, the waste of a gift
But what you seek is locked in these perceptions warped
Not born by creatives aid
A humdrum dulling defined
In cognition you'll find the natural progression
No scribed lies to hide behind
The tendencies of pioneering become an impossible notion
Our healing process is benevolent
This trailing distress is irrelevant
You're all contrived
In a broken system
Intricate embroidery falling flat like hymns you have forged
Lies you have hidden, no hymns you have written
You have written
Of self-preservation
Draw from your inspiration
Express infinite potential
Let it take control
Maintain relevance
Before hope falls into perpetual discord
Disobey
Despite the ways paved
To have forgone serpent-like mutations
The shedding of the skin
No innovation as you lay pre-made
Mannered in accordance
To all those who have been wronged
You'll bathe in a former
Shredded dermis, without purpose
All that's left, expired desires
Fletchers and wretches
Mounting weightless curses
To worship at all means these loyalties are not your own
Digging holes into their souls
Do as you were told
Idol eyes shape the mold
While you dissolve
You hold status no more in a place
Where all pick at the bones
Exemplary art, mediocrity comes to fruition
The same old thrift, the waste of a gift
But what you seek is locked in these perceptions warped
Not born by creatives aid
A humdrum dulling defined
In cognition you'll find the natural progression
No scribed lies to hide behind
The tendencies of pioneering become an impossible notion
Our healing process is benevolent
This trailing distress is irrelevant
You're all contrived
In a broken system
Intricate embroidery falling flat like hymns you have forged
Lies you have hidden, no hymns you have written
You have written

Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back.
