Breathing
Is everything
The clutter in my mind
Is frightening
Silence
Is maddening
The stress grinds you down
Can't handle it
Are you safe?
Am I sound?
Don't mind the stains
I leave them in my wake
Don't mind the chains
I gently try to break
Don't mind the stares
I seek to emulate
Don't mind the layers
I barely infiltrate
Holy Roller
Interstate
Enter Middle
Of Nowhere
Breaking
And entering
Violate my space
With your questioning
Dreams of
Escaping
Patience wearing thin
Can't deal with it
Are you safe?
Am I sound?
Don't mind the stains
I leave them in my wake
Don't mind the chains
I gently try to break
Don't mind the stares
I seek to emulate
Don't mind the layers
I barely infiltrate
Holy Roller
Interstate
Enter Middle
Of Nowhere

Don't mind me
There's no need
You can see
The defeat
In the lines if my face
When you do
When you don't
I still know that you won't
Ever think there is hope
And the simple truth is
I know what life is about
I am sanguine to your face
But I am not devout
I'm on fire
Blowing like a live wire
Veins perspire as the flames grow higher
Call me many things hater, liar purveyor of dire
Word sayers desire only
Inspire the enemy within to burn down and start
Again opportunity's like a bird in hand worth 2 in the bush
It makes me pass out sideways like when all I did was smoke kush
It still fucks with me missed opportunities
Like gasoline in my veins a smouldering desire
To set the sights higher as a selfish beast
No rest for the wicked
None for me at least
A cross between the jersey devil and an acetylene torch
If you can't take the heat keep your ass on your porch
And shut the fuck up bro got this dark matter flow
And a bag in the back I'll pop the trunk
And you can all bear witness to my Anhedonia
In plain view just below zero
In a ridiculous predicament
More like a nomadic wildlife experiment
Set for attack you are about to witness
The full power of Distortion Black
I give in
I play safe
I avoid, desecrate
Anything that I touch
You believe
There's a need
That I can dissipate
Emulate and destroy
And the simple truth is
I know what life is about
I am sanguine to your face
But I am not devout
I'm on fire

Ridiculous atomic I detonate catatonic
Just pour one in my cup I'll get so far away
Like I'm mainlining gin and tonics
Problems abound my sights do astound
Put two hands on my face and drug to the ground
Outta mind outta sight
No trace post haste
All the memories erased from this place
Like my cup was fuckin laced
Amphetamine and propane
Mixed like heroin and cocaine
Nothing left to out run
Nothing left to gain
Nothing left to feel
Call me pastor novocaine
The most redundant of names
To wash it all down
I've been praying for rain but their isn't a trace
So I keep building my case
For a better tomorrow and a new shiny face
One that won't muddy the lace
Of the purest souls all I endure turns to mould
And harmony leaves me
No melody to set me free
Back to home base I tried digging for hope
but there's nothing...
Not even a trace
There's only so much pain
One can endure
And inflict
Derelict
Defect
Disappear
No trace
Apology
Aggrieved
Unamused
Inflamed
Catalyst
Cancer
Ketamine
No trace
Analyst
Approved
Upper hand
In chains
Please.
Lend me your eyes
I wanna see how it looks
When the fantasy dies
A sorted love affair aborted just over there
Half way to hell and around the corner
The only fuckin doors we opened
Is the one for the coroner
Mourners remorse tried to right the course
Sorry gift horse
I communicate in Morse code
A series of taps before I rest in burlap sacks
From eventual collapse
Call it a relapse call it what you will
Sifting through scripture with a cyanide pill
There's only so much pain
One can endure
And inflict
Derelict
Defect
Disappear
No trace
Apology
Aggrieved
Unamused
Inflamed
Catalyst
Cancer
Ketamine
No trace

All Our Yesterdays

You see a future brighter
Than the one we used to share
It still reeks of desperation
That I claimed to care
This whole about turn
In my fortunes is a giant hoax
I long to fall into the arms of darkness
I approach
Nullification
No sensation
I simply will not
Accept moderation
Will there ever come a time
When I will simply collapse
Under the weight of expectations
I cannot relax
This whole charade's taken its toll
On your sanity
Though it perversely might appeal
To my vanity
I'm not delusional
It's just that I'm obsessed
No middle ground
No consensus
All our yesterdays
Seem so far away
As if swallowed by a mist

Desert Space

Desert is like space
Except it’s hot
And there’s no vacuum
And gravity applies
Space is like desert
Well, no, not really
For the above mentioned reason
It’s pretty much the opposite
But the desert of the mind
Is like the space inside your brain
Does that even make sense
In the desert space
The desert space
Desert is like space
Except there’s sand
And the occasional oasis
Not the band
Space is like desert
No, weave already established it’s not
Who are we kidding
Even the desert rats
They fucking shun us
But the desert of the mind
Is like the space inside your brain
Does that even make sense
In the desert space
The desert space

Abundance of beautiful melodies with the signature Vicario quirky and unconventional delivery. Vocal/guitar harmonies are gorgeous, beats are groovy as hell and synths are kind of restrained in “sometimes less is more” way and the album flows gracefully in the space between darkness and light. It is unique music that IMO will appeal to fans of Pink Floyd, David Bowie, NIN, Depeche Mode, The Cure and others from these astral planes :)
