Stephen Weigel Rhythms, distortion, phasing, and intelligent textural evolution masquerade as noise in this dazzling display of heterogeneity and vigor. I especially like how this album can mix a modest folk beat with metal tropes, giving a "major" sound to passages that might not ordinarily sound that way. Gated reverb vocals, delightful smear and mess, and cool vocal techniques throughout. Will be recommending this to people. Favorite track: Kafka was Right.

The Cycle 07:18
Just be no self aware Mmm, it shouldn’t have to have ended this way Mmm, I need to take the time to mend my mistakes Oh, and when it came to me it wasn’t too late But I refused So the cycle repeats anew Ebbing and flow We are Running towards something that made us feel worthless we Recognize error but only in looking back no self aware Just be (Running and running and running and running and running and running and run) Mmm, they couldn’t recognize the pain that I’d face Mmm, it weren’t the only thing to stand in our way Oh, and when it came to me it wasn’t too late But I refused So the cycle repeats anew (we’re spinning out and reprimanding everything we ever could’ve done wrong Nothing to be ashamed of Nobody is alarmed by you When everything is said and done) RAAAAAAAAA MOVE! DANCE WITH THE WAVES OF THE WORLD! 
JUST BE Running in circles and calling it progress we Ignore the caucus and prove our insanity Running and running we come to the dead end and lead to the trap laid we pray God has abandoned us, god will abandon you, all your beliefs are too late Mmm, they can not recognize the pain that I face Mmm, it ain’t the only thing that stands in our way Oh, and when you ask of me I can not be true (TELL THE TRUTH TELL THE TRUTH TELL THE TRUTH) But I refused So the cycle repeats anew

note: when writing this song the lyrical content was strongly tied to the time signatures used, ergo they are included in the lyrics [4/4] Sleep. Wake. Sleep. Wake. Miserable life [7/4] Geschlafen, Aufgewacht, Geschlafen, Aufgewacht, [6/4] Elendes Leben Elendes Leben [4/4] Sleep. Wake. Sleep. Wake. Miserable life [3/4] KAFKA WAS [7/4] Geschlafen, Aufgewacht, Geschlafen, Aufgewacht, [5/4] Elendes Leben Elendes Leben Elendes Leben Elendes! The Cycle Repeats It’s relentless I can only be lesser than It’s [3/4] pointless [4/4] Sleep. Wake. Sleep. Wake. Miserable life [3/4] Miserable life KAFKA WAS RIGHT

Sinful Hellacious mind Calls for her Numbness escapes my eyes And I am heard Judgement passes effortlessly Hearts on hand Silence bound, with no form or structure in sight Smiling intoxicants Surrendering Laughing control is freed Sights unseen Lights connect in glowing display And feelings come Foreshadow the coming of age Overdrawn Then becomes the greatest quell of our decades gone past But I can't find my way through the night So what's the point if I'm too lost to fully comprehend these Joyous thoughts of future tirades The likes of which are never to be found in this world Of concrete space and time This world of lies Sinful Hellacious mind Calls for her Lights connect in glowing display And feelings come Foreshadow the coming of age Overdrawn Then becomes the greatest quell of our decades gone past

Pride 05:18
Pride differentiation from a song and piece is pointless it's Recognizing utilizing forces that we crave Time is a detrimental force upon the context of the english word so Listen to the verse that she hath prosed for me These people aren't stupid This minority niche is only performative Exclusive for exclusion's sake Toeing some invisible line of code of conduct An expectation of appeasing To perform is divine, to observe is to be objected Pride differentiation from a song and piece is pointless it's Recognizing utilizing forces that we crave Right is becoming very wrong within the eyes and ears of modern age, so emanates the sound that permeates the darkened street The rise of noise is upon us The folk have begun with their experiments The next wave will be louder than me The rise of noise is upon us The folk have begun with their experiments The next wave will be louder than me Or will they? Hide and Seek Wholesome energy vetted painfully Feel our heat Hide and Seek Wholesome energy vetted painfully Feel our heat Ides gone by It's psychedelic, it's psychonautic This is bad Cleaned up Keep Light Lash out Be Seen Degrading Feel Love Feel Less Make Love You Can't Escape It Cleaned up, always available Keep Light, it's draining Lash out only in private, dear Be Seen Degrading Feel Love, feel a corrupted heart Feel Less, it's draining Make Love, prove you're an animal You Can't Escape It You Can't Escape It You Can't Escape It

Ego 09:10
I promise to never assume to be more than I am I promise you baby I won’t leave you disappointed I probably shouldn’t assume to be more than I am It’s fundamental reason for why I’ve been disappointed I probably shouldn’t afford all the compromise made Another underlying attachment is sure to debase Speak only when you’re sure, and become the visage of love Motives cross the open plains Genuine or fake I probably shouldn’t attempt to be more than a friend I probably couldn’t afford the investment we’d have Ooh I probably wouldn’t assume there’d be more than there was I probably wouldn’t have known you how

I do Running in the brush alluding your gaze patronizing in a fearful loving way? You are strong, wise, grace I do portray us true, sincere, I swear Take your time
