On your skin
The cage is pressing

PUNCH THROUGH YOUR CHEEKS
SUCK DOWN
ALL OF THIS DUST
DROWN IN

BITE DOWN
GRIND YOUR TEETH
ON THE WALLS OF THE PANOPTICON
TEAR THEM
THE RESTRAINTS
SCRABBLE
FOR PURCHASE
Treading
In a sea of cuts
Submerging
Under transparent shards
Dying
In full vision
Dying
In full vision

A soul of
Predation
Fascism spreads
Cruelty in weakness
Vacant symbols
A phylactery for manhood
CRACK THE VESSEL

WRING IT OUT

Staring at me across
The thrumming crowd, with hair
Glinting red, suspended
In the air like a curse
Half grin, skin like a bed
Of nails, static, caress
Cracking my shell, burn books
Waiting for your assent
Manufacturing chance
To pour me out desperate
Seeing you in a glint
Never again certain
Emerald earrings to match
My poison gaze, my blood
You amuse yourself with
Teasing out my shaking vows
Your hospitality drowned
The violation overwhelms me, I am cast down
Only shreds of memory to clothe my shivering frame
Moving past my eyes like a blindfold
MEMORY FRAG

Lonely Crowds

The economic system founded on isolation is a circular production of isolation. The technology is based on isolation, and the technical process isolates in turn. From the automobile to television, all the goods selected by the spectacular system are also its weapons for a constant reinforcement of the conditions of isolation of “lonely crowds.” The spectacle constantly rediscovers its own assumptions more concretely.
At that I turned, and saw before my feet
a lake of ice, which in the terrible cold
looked not like frozen water, but like glass
So thick an ice veil never blocks the course
of the Danube in wintry Austria,
nor of the Don under the frigid sky,
As was this ice; and if Mount Tambernic
had fallen on it, or Mount Pietrapan,
even its edge would not have made a creak.
As the frog in the summer sits to croak,
his mug above the pond, while hazy dreams
of gleaning come upon the peasant girl,
So were the grieving spirits, livid grey,
fixed in the ice up to where shame appears,
chattering their teeth like storks that snap their bills.

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
Cowards living off their identity
Leveraging power against me
Fitting like 1 in a binary
Are you so easily panicked
When gender is no longer grounded?
Defending your cock with violence
If manhood is all you have then I understand why you cling to it, but that doesn’t make me more sympathetic, only more eager to see it torn from you!
YOU KILLED MY COMRADES
Wringing your shame out, strangling
Reproducing violence, apathy
YOUR EMPTY STRENGTH
STARING OUT WITH SERRATED EYES
Cowards like you need the state’s protection when you murder us, but we don’t need an authority to tell us what justice is!
RISE UP!
SPILL TRANSPHOBIC BLOOD!
WILL YOU FEEL SHAME OR FEAR
IN DEATH’S CARESS?
WHEN YOU GET YOUR THROAT CUT
BY “A BOY IN A FUCKING DRESS”
YOUR FUCKING STRENGTH
STARING OUT WITH SERRATED EYES

Stand up
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
Anymore
AND IF YOU COMPLAIN ONCE MORE
YOU’LL MEET AN ARMY OF ME
You're alright
There's nothing wrong
Self-sufficience, please!
And get to work
AND IF YOU COMPLAIN ONCE MORE
YOU’LL MEET AN ARMY OF ME
You're on your own now
We won't save you
Your rescue squad
Is too exhausted
AND IF YOU COMPLAIN ONCE MORE
YOU’LL MEET AN ARMY OF ME

Burst Synapse recommends:
Full Of Hell & Merzbow
by Full of Hell
This is the first heavy album I ever listened to (before this I was a hip hop head) and it blew my mind to the point that I named my band after the opening track. You have to listen to this!
go to album
This is something radically new on the borders of electronic and metal music. Brutal and deep and impossible to categorize.
go to album
Unbelievablely minimal death metal, but it also feels like there's so much to uncover. Incredible that they can do this with only one guitar and one drum kit.

Shoegaze overdosing on meth and caffeine pills. Every release on Cloudrat's discography is a different flavor of insanity. This one is rocky road with a twist of antifreeze.
