Unstable existence-I'm phasing in and out of everything I knew The physics of resistance- a mind and a body split in two You could not control yourself-now what's left, what's left of... Is running around and this isn't how to unravel all of the meaning Where do I start and where did I end Cause zero's a number too Science can't help me and neither can god You hate me as Jupiter and I'm a burned out Sun And when nothing is real Everything has a voice This equation is null I am isolated-stimulation is absurd at this point Don't get too close or you will lose your existence- this place is dead and no one can fix it How could I control myself? There's nothing left, it doesn't make sense. And when you are the only one, where is the explanation? Where do I start and where did I end Cause zero's a number too Science can't help me and neither can god You hate me as Jupiter and I'm a burned out Sun And when nothing is real Everything has a voice This equation is null All this, worthless-All this, worthless-All this is worthless unused potential Hate-never gonna be never gonna feel never gonna be anything but nothing All this disgusts me Tesseract outside, inside, I've died, it doesn't matter ever It's on every level of existence Addition everyday one day I get the feel of something nothing, nothing is all around me I work this way, that way, every way, no way. I keep determining This is equation is, this equation is, this equation is..... The end of me is the end of you.

Wire and light mangled inside of Teeth and skin Cinesanitizing focus I’ll never know when Written spoken nothing’s working Random automatic reign I can’t stick to my repulsion Let me out, let me in I’m alive in you. At the end of a string that’s a rope that I’ll use and I’ll use and I’ll use I’m only happy when I am inside of you Wait! There’s more. I’ve got something else for you in store. When everything stops, just keep punching that clock. We’ve got endless needs and endless greed to feed. So keep being a slave and bleed for this machine. They’ve got incentives. They’re so inventive. It’s all face-AIDS-rape-guns and pixel-fear protection What’s on my mind? We’re dead and blind. I’m guilty, you’re guilty. I’ll die for great reception. Organic code corrupted folds and The strength of the end With the proper guidance baby You’ll sink, they’ll swim Writing in seductive sequence I’m all the way, way Anything can be repulsive Just let him have his say I’m alive in you. At the end of a string that’s a rope that I’ll use and I’ll use and I’ll use I’m only happy when I am inside of you Trapped in the center of an unstable loop (shortened the break from original version by 16 bars down to 24 instead of 40) Step into the liar’s chamber Unknown false limbs I’ve got everything you needed Let me out to let me in I’m alive in you. At the end of a string that’s a rope that I’ll use and I’ll use and I’ll use I’m only happy when I am inside of you Right there! Stop. That’s the sound of a ticking clock. Then there’s another and another all on someone else’s time. We’ve got so many layers. They’re different and the same heads. The snake that eats itself can’t eat anything else. Ouroboros has the code

He cut out pieces of their brains A doctor only by the name He was my savior that was true I found his light, then it was… Oooh..how'd you fake it? Oooh...they weren't made in... Oooh...I can't stay here Tearing through all I don't know What are the secrets of time travel and How do you exist on more than one plane? I keep trying to figure this out. You can never die when you’re in more than one place Experiments aren’t always safe I told myself they were to blame Religion, science, actor - fake Unbalanced clouded then I…. Oooh..how'd you fake it? Oooh...they weren't made in... Oooh...I can't stay here Tearing through all I don't know What are the secrets of time travel and How do you exist on more than one plane? I keep trying to figure this out. You can never die when you’re in more than one place What are the secrets of time travel?

All alone the search for all alone And oh wow oh what a way to go out The making of a third dimension safe house Nobody can hear you shout What did we look like in the future? Was there a way to be sure? I never wanted to be open If none of them could be cured Finally a way to the open Finally a way to see Finally a crack in the dementia A stellar autopsy I’m getting over I’m getting over I’m coming over I’m coming over Finally a way to the open Finally a way to see Finally a crack in the dementia A stellar autopsy When you open an isolated center Don’t be surprised when everything shuts down You can’t save a place with a replacement The nerve endings are all dead now Why did you think you were above this? Nothing ever escapes Is this dimension any different? You’re still being crushed by the weight Finally a way to the open Finally a way to see Finally a crack in the dementia A stellar autopsy I’m getting over I’m getting over I’m coming over I’m coming over Everything I feel I feel is dead Everything I feel I feel is new Everything I feel I feel is dead All inside collapsing onto you Everything I feel I feel is dead Everything I feel I feel for you Everything I feel I feel is dead Nothing matters I send this to you

From the start of The Hatred to The Dawn of the Eyes Next to all of our fakes and curving all of their lines They weren't beside us, they were already in Heresy is holy Resolution begins Scattering through the dust the only ones Whimpering out of touch the holy ones Quivering with disgust, the lonely ones Channeling all of us to everyone All hail the Warlocks of Jupiter Keepers of The Station solar blasphemers Digitizing the snakeskin for the Supper of Time Echo locating faces laughing all of their lies Heroes of Horus suckling on the shins Heresy is holy Resolution begins Scattering through the dust the only ones Whimpering out of touch the holy ones Quivering with disgust the only ones Channeling all of us to everyone All hail the Warlocks of Jupiter Keepers of The Station Solar blasphemers

They're watching I'm waiting Old gods are gone The vacuum they're rising Replace the sun Witches of Mars Destroying the failing Circle's the same My vision, I'm frightened Please break the plane Witches of Mars It's over The Hatred Blasphemy heals Awakened, located the one that kneels

I proclaim everything you do is dead Remarkable marketing, soulytical dread Looking to tomorrow but stopping the start Would it be so bad if you didn't wake up? Did I have something to say to you? You never had it together, you never had a clue. I'm now something I can't contain. How can I deal with this 8 bit rage? I don't want the end of the world, no. I want the end of the universe You started it. I am the end of it. That's something they can't comprehend They think we're crazy and asking for help As I stand here and talk to myself Did I have something to say to you? I've become pixelated and oh so crude I'm now something you can't explain You cannot deal with this 8 bit rage I'm gonna lose it. It's time to implode. There's nothing left, it's just like a black hole. I don't want the end of the world, no. I want the end of the universe I don't want the end of the world, no. I want the end of the universe

about

This is a live soundboard recording from 8/3/19 at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown, WV. No punch-ins or replacements. The only mixing done was what the engineer, Roger Glass, did in real-time. Roger is an excellent sound technician. I (Mark) mastered it and added a little bit of reverb since a direct from the sound board recording is extremely dry. Other than that, this is as raw as it gets.

I wanted to do a release from this particular show because I had just gotten back from a long and exhausting trip. I was on very little sleep and had just come back from the mid-west that same morning. The sleep I was able to get was all thanks to my friend, Eric, doing the driving on the way back. When I arrived to meet the rest of the band on 8/3/19, I was dead tired. They all remarked on this fact. Haha!. It was amazing we were able to play at all. However, when we started, all that cosmic energy took over and even though I was exhausted, I had the energy to play. Somehow, we sounded pretty good that night. Hopefully the recording conveys that sense of exhausted hysteria I was feeling and the energy the rest of the band put into the performance. Being in a group with supportive individuals and having a cool crowd that night most certainly made it possible.

It was also a special night because we played with my friend Chris, and his band, Fuck Your Birthday. I've known Chris for many years now, and when he came in from China (where he teaches), he asked us to play this show with him.

Anyway, yeah, it was a special night despite the fact that it should have been absolute garbage for me. The power of the cosmos prevails again. Later.
