Omnerod - Arteries lyrics



Tracks



01. Lines

[Instrumental]

02. Guide Them

Stay at home, staring at the wall
Cancer growing strong, patience wearing thin
Stay at home

Now comply
Wait for lines to appear
Lies ooze from their eyes
Silence numbs our ears
Do not pray for us

What is your cause? Help me? Save me?
Standing over us, Guiding, Scorching

Tender Mother quarantine
Breastfeeding your creators
(Savior)
Everybody wants their share
Everybody seems to care
(Liar)

Watch as rain triggers buried seeds

Sharing selective empathy graciously
While the unchosen struggle to stay at home
Stay at home

03. Newt

[Instrumental]

04. Ascaris

I've seen the planes, I've seen them fly
I've seen the plane, I've seen it nigh

Understand the change, Take it as it comes
For no one will know your shame
Be free, you're home
The time has come to slowly explore
Dense arteries of misleading times

Always trying, always wanting
To come out of this pale skin
Never willing, never keen
To ignore what I have seen

Never mind the worm they said
Always here but never seen
Warm eyes in the dark, warm body around me
This life is no longer for me

A nauseous lust, initiatory mistake
The blame was spread, and wolves were fed
The blame was spread, or so they said
Why can't you get out of my head? (Why can't you?)
When will you get out of my head? (When will you?)
Why can't you get out of my head? (Why can't you?)
When will you get out of my head? (When will you?)


I will get you out of my head
I will get you out of my head
I've seen your face, I've seen you cry
I've seen their faces, I've seen them laugh

This painful last exit has come to be
Another gateway to more peaceful entries
The time has come to find a new host
For once I guess, the choice will be mine

I've seen the vessels, they once were mine
I've seen the vessel, our time to shine

05. Nothing Was Vain

Passing the torch, giving back what was once offered: Sentience
Grandeur may fade, but dignity will live on through love
"This time around, no soul will escape alone", she swore
Echoing plea: "Should I lay there please just end it, waste me".

All the time you spent away from me, from your own
Once too young to understand, now too old to give a hand

A mother's pain is never in vain

Blank scavengers faking their prayers, step into the light
Breaking silence with sheer defiance, all to claim their rights
Feast on the dust, feast on the paper, you were never there
All pathetic, all apathetic, all but one

Forgive their hypocrisy and greed
Please, forgive my relief

06. Velvet Hooks

Taking my child, taking my baby
They stomped his head, slaughtered his body
Another day scraping my bars
Another day grinding my teeth

Giving up is long past due but
They still find purpose in my grief

Rape me, looking away
Crush my mind and lick my skin
Make me your whore, keep me alive, to slay me yourself
I can't see you, you can't see me
But I am you, and you are me

There will be no mutiny
Not from their side, not from ours
The veil that separates us
Is transparent yet tear-proof

Famine, coming our way
Rewarding our brutality
Hypocrisy, and contradiction, are what we must be
They don't need us, we don't need them
But they are us, and we are them

Feel the velvet hooks crawling into you

07. Far From The Tree

I Follow the way, tread the water-logged pavement
No other light will guide me through this fog
Your flaws appear to be my restriction
Sustain your self-destruction, enjoy the smog
Inhale

Ashamed to feel ashamed, the name's still untainted
Silent dedication channels my pride
Bright intention, doesn't hide what's overstated:
Enlightening ways of mariticide

Inhale, insult, degrade, consume
Exhale, support, subsist, light up, Illuminate

Obsessed, lingering and seeking attention
Comfort will be obtained, rest now, wise jackal

You can't bend the genes of the old man
Embrace the offer and don't look back
Don't look back

You can't bend the genes of the old man
To find themselves one must first be lost
To find themselves one must first be lost

08. Sleep

Let's hope the sun doesn't implode again when my eyelids meet
The ticking in our head paces our mutation
Make the staring stop, let me face other fiends
Anesthetize, use your love
Use your love

Exhaustion is sweet relief, my free-will is but a dream
Corrupt my body and save my mind
Don't let the birds sing, don't let the rays caress my skin
Anesthetize, use your drugs
Use your drugs

Chemical lullabies are not to be neglected:
They help to defy hollow faces
They make incestual thoughts have their ways

Only searching for what I know I'll find
Better late than early, saving my time

Insert Peace, fuel my spirit
Insert Peace, put me to sleep
Insert Peace, fuel my spirit
Insert Peace, put me to sleep


The touch is all I had been waiting for
Forgettable foes surrender to your scent
Grant me the most precious offering: Choice
Anesthetize, use your love
Close my eyes.
