[Verse 1]
We sleep in shifts, with the lights on
Waiting for the wights to set their sights on
We never learned our rights from wrong
Always end up singing the same old song
[Pre-chorus]
They'll know your character by the taste of your marrow
They'll know your character by the taste of your bones
They'll know your character by what's tucked inside you
They'll know your character by what's left behind
[Chorus 2]
I'm just a stranger from a sterile land
My own Prometheus, by my own hand
I was born under shadow of the median
I was born, Promethean
[Verse 2]
We fall to ash with our clothes on
Waiting for the glass to hold automaton
We speak in whispers and monotone
With athame, you're only here to take the blame
We never learned our rights from wrong
Always end up singing the same old song
[Pre-chorus]
They'll know your character by the taste of your marrow
They'll know your character by the taste of your bones
They'll know your character by what's tucked inside you
They'll know your character by what's left behind
[Chorus 2]
I'm just a stranger from a sterile land
My own Prometheus, by my own hand
I was born under shadow of the median
I was born, Promethean
I'm just a stranger from a stranger land
My dying drive, pulling at strands
I refuse to drink the waters, Lethean
I was born, Promethean
I was born, Promethean

Psychic Debris

[Verse 1]
I wanna be you're psychic debris
Like, a domino - just a causal chain
Ever feel that lingering feeling?
Like, a shadow - you just can't explain
[Pre]
I need you
Like you need me
I need you
Like you need me
[Verse 2]
I wanna be your psychic debris
Lower density - the feelings the same
I wanna know what is hiding behind
Like an atom bomb - don't care bout the pain
[Pre]
I need you
Like you need me
Break the glass
And set me free
[Chorus]
It comes down to this
Ain't no way through
And in the dead of night
No Eye of Horus will save you
[Verse 2]
I wanna be your psychic debris
Just a wanderer, I'm living providence
I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop myself - It's autonomous
[Bridge]
Year is 1994
A child will be made
Circles of salt and the cackling of crones
Pedagogy defunct
In 1999
A calamity of killing data fires from every synapse
Abraxas by rights
[Chorus]
It comes down to this
Ain't no way through
And in the dead of night
No Eye of Horus will save you

[Verse 1]
I am a hammer
Pacing slowly through unearthly shadow
I am a hammer
Heart was heavy, uneasy cargo
I am a hammer
Given life by uroboric oxbow
I am a hammer
Taking time to lock the tempo
[Prechor]
When all you've got is a hammer
Every problem will look like a nail
When all you've got is a hammer
Every problem will look like a nail
[Chorus]
I am a hammer
And every problem looks like a nail
I am a hammer
And every problem will look like a nail
[Verse 2]
I am a hammer
Stabbing inwards for a mystic missive
I am a hammer
Prototype of a fate submissive
I am a hammer
Turning back to the blind obsessive
I am a hammer
It's not my fault that I'm being aggressive
[Prechor]
When all you've got is a hammer
Every problem will look like a nail
When all you've got is a hammer
Every problem will look like a nail
[Chorus]
I am a hammer
And every problem looks like a nail
I am a hammer
And every problem will look like a nail

[Verse 1]
Haruspicy 1994
Might be a Fool, but I can see you begging for an encore
Haruspicy - like the wings of Icarus
Haruspicy - I know you're fond of barbiturates
[Chorus]
We're all just stumbling around - In a stygian abyss
We're all just punishing the ground - under eclipse
[Refrain]
I see the future - I know the past
The present is forfeit and nothing will last
A future calamity coming more clear…
[Verse 2]
Haruspicy 1999
It's just a prototype, it's apropos of the times
Haruspicy - there a joker in my deck
Haruspicy - this is the kinda cheque, that you can't cash
[Chorus] x4
We're all just stumbling around - In a stygian abyss
We're all just punishing the ground - under eclipse
[Refrain]
I see the future - I know the past
The present is forfeit and nothing will last
Drink of the Lethean waters
And forget you ever asked

Welcome to Riot City [EP]
by Slighter
An awesome EP from Slighter that came out through our friends at Br00tal Rez. I got to contribute a H/A remix to this EP that I'm extremely proud of.

Sister Cell is a homie who just never slows down. I got the opportunity to do guest vocals on their cover of Money from KMFDM and it was extremely fun.
