Vacant spaces mock our expectations
Frustration suffocates the progress
Created Shapes Within our Limits
Fully formed just beyond our reach
We exist in fragments
We exist in fragments
We exist in fragments
We exist in fragments
Desperate and Hollow
Is this what we’ve become?
No Cause to follow
Once Lost, We’ve come undone
I Miss
The Distance of what came before
I Miss
The Distance of what came before
We exist in fragments
We exist in fragments

The last of borrowed time
A city shared by grief
And soon it won't be long...
Have doubts in my beliefs
And will they find a friend
And live below the lights
The sound descends
When will we meet again?
Forgive these borrowed words
Stolen, you've crushed my heart
An absence you've now shared
Of love that's torn apart
And will they find a friend
And live below the lights
The sound descends
When will we meet again?
No need to try
You were the light
That still shines bright
The light that leads her home
And will they find a friend
And live below the lights
The sound descends
When will we meet again?

A point to your point
Take a different approach
Offend the offenses
And that’s all she wrote
A means to an end
A place to decide
Your logic is flawed
With “shut up that’s why”
To stop and stare
Wasted time
Avoid with care
My time is mine
Your precious weapons have failed
Broken and upside down
A truth in fact that makes us whole
Which one of us will take the blame?
I don’t care how many friends I lose.

Kiss It All Goodbye

We've lost this time
Embrace the change
Buried face down
Collective grave
Instinct was lost
When hope was found
Survival drowns without fear
Embracing hate
Comfort me
Surrender, lay down your arms
Resistance, the hypocrites
Breed conflict within the heard
You are the threat of peace
You are the whore of hope
We are the frail deeds
We are the tears of the blind eyes
We are cursed men
We are near death
“It’s a politician, shaking your hand. They want to love you, but they just fuck you. You want to love me, then why do you fuck me”

You will learn
Forced by progress to evolve
The spoils won, we move on
Through ash and dust
Stolen from masters
Tribute from bastards
So with the time
passed
And distance felt
Empty in my heart and lungs
And in no time
To bridge the void within
We just look up at the sky
Onward
Slowly
Left out
I am…
Forced by progress to evolve

Ghost of Former Gods

Distant lights,
So dull
On the horizon.
Home never felt so close.
Static split,
Colors cold.
Between the mountains and oceans,
We Stand.
So we are,
Desolate,
Comfort in the barren.
What’s lost,
Was not replaced.
It’s emptiness fills my heart.
Colors bleed, from dusk to earth, knowing, So much depends
No longer
On what came before.
The blue and white and red.
The Air hits our face as we descend, and we know that we’re home.
We know we're home.

Swollen Hole
Immolated
So it goes
Subjugation
Leave me here
Smoke and ashes
The Space Between
Ache and embrace
Swollen Eyes
Barely Breathing
Shaking Hands
Keep repeating
Lips so soft
Lies deceiving
So delicate
Truth laid bare
Leave me here
Leave me here
This is a reckoning
Hearts pressed between the stones
I am the reckoning
Violent and alone

So different
Or so it seemed
A separate life
A tie that binds
Shaped in sound
Sort it out
All the same
Twelve arranged
We discovered
It’s purest state
Shaped in sound
Sort it out
Paint the picture
Bathed in sound
Related. We paint the rust, the colors sustain.
Our cadence, and all we loved, and all we became
Not so different
Faded lights
Shadows dance
Hearts alive
Not “understand”
But “understood”
Without words,
comunicating
Broken homes
With open arms
Held and heard
Here were grateful
And so we dwell
In brackish tide
The overflow
The tie that binds
Shaped in sound
Sorted out
Painted picture
Bathed in sound
Rest our heads

When do words?
Hurt worse than sticks and stones?
Haven't you heard?
Collective mass's shown
Cower and hide, create a safer space.
Resist the tide. The old have been replaced.
A basement bargain bin
A worthless argument
The never-ending chorus
Population free from sin
We're burning obsolete
There comes a day
When all things melt away
When rights decay
The delicates turn grey
You cannot hide. You never earned a place
Entitled cries, a blind and deaf disgrace.
A basement bargain bin
A worthless argument
The never-ending chorus
Population free from sin
Slowly
We’re burning obsolete
There are no
Promises
You are owed
Nothing
(Violence solves everything)

Slowly Sinking
01:17

So you'll forgive your sins
Penance worthless
So genuflection wins
Penance worthless
This time,
This place
Disappointments familiar taste
This love,
Undone
Last light of a setting sun
Sympathy’s my weakness
Manipulating progress
Hand to heart you promised
Never were you
HONEST
The Guilt laid down upon me weighs a metric fuck ton
The choices made
They have no rhyme or reason
SLOWLY SINKING

Return to Zero

Hearts confess
Tired eyes
Emptiness
By my side
Hung my head
Folded hands
On my knees
Broken man
So where can I turn?
Suffering and alone
The butcher returned
Took away all I’ve known
I’ve made my mistakes
Whatever happened to
Bend and not break
I guess it has died with you
You Failed Us
You Failed Me
RETURN TO ZERO
Open arms
Surrender
Weakened hearts are
DEAD AND GONE

Beg and Plead
For What You Need
Something I Can’t Give
I know It Hurts
For What It’s Worth
It Kills Me Just The Same
Make It Go Away
Make It Go Away
One Last Call
And Speak No More
Silhouette in White
Cold As Stone
Left To Hold
Nothing In These Arms
Carry You
In My Heart
Call your Name
(Lay me down)
“Take my hand, you know ill be there if you can”
I Said it
I’ll Say it
I’ll Scream It Again
Make It Go Away.

In terms of darkness and extremity we have reached a point here. There is a lot going on during this record but the theme of just utter fucking ugliness permeates. Beautifully grotesque. Great record.

Actual good music unlike early korn and super awesome unlike new korn.

COLONIAL WOUND, "Easy Laugh"
by Colonial Wound
supported by 4 fans who also own “Herjaza”
It's a lot like Botch, but grimmer and heavier, less whimsical - all of which is fine with me. Usually I'm not a fan of "sounds like" deals, but (a) this is very, very well done, and (b) I have sorely been missing the punishing angular mathcore that set the turn of the millennium alight. The production here is fantastic, with modern power, but not so compressed that it sands off the oh-so-vital edges.
