Ryan Martinez I've known Reed for a number of years so I'm always willing to check whatever he's involved in. That being said all band members did a smashing job on this! On my third run through currently. Thanks for sharing with us!

Ellipsism 02:43
At break-neck speed, hollow tooth compartment Turn run and hide, follow Truth Department Bankrupted biosome corrupted protoplasm Fetal positioned, screaming endless-echo spasm Darkened dinocratic monstrous, the pill was washed Red, he dragged through the lake, smoke and cloud Benefactors gathered, hands spreading fevers They pick their proteins straight from the marrow Festering The onslaught is coming Posturing Your intentions entombing Betrayal The ill keep succumbing Bellowing Consequences looming You can balk at the lark, no more fun, it's no game Viral interaction, swelling infection sans the shame Lies suggesting less is always fearing the more Flagrant amputation, no foot to place in the door Festering The onslaught is coming Posturing Your intention entombing Trial separation of spine and limb goes untreated Disconnect of harsh reason and timid trepidation [fix breath] Cancer adaptation error four-oh-four Totalitarian fashion designed for proliferation Betrayal The ill keep succumbing Bellowing Consequences looming
2.
Your sedation tactic, Laced lactic acid attack Numb away the dumb Dumbed down with Tums Balls in your court Flat without a retort Resort to contort Ignored for sport Gay away the prey Prayed piped and paid Preswiped, hung, and laid Too afraid to erenade Balance yourself son you're never gonna make it If you burn both sides with candles at night And your mind it escapes you Comically dismembered Egregious in nature Public denial With twisted nomenclature
3.
Quaint polupses squelching prolapsed synapsis Behind false doors made of bone failures Bellowing harsh won't get you far/ but we've been wrong before Now you're on top and you're singing hallelujah Backwards worship from knees upside out Menial millennial junkies milking their pineal pillows Plantation liberation, westward we ride Elicit despondent an existential sigh Variation machination, failure to describe The prose was clandestine and dry Wrought hollow, basking in terrific energies foreign and far from home We don't appreciate your lack of concentration The humble denial hand-lie coordination backmask handclap Fix yourself like you fix your election Top this posthumous pompous taunt of us Clip the level to watch as the VU seizes Summon the motive 'til the itching ceases Backlit endorphin luminescent tarpon Biothermal excitements Future pleasure amputations Spineless discord mutation Horizontal ladder levitations You amaze me How smooth Your skin It lies On the floor You sweat Small stuff Bothers me How endless Is endlessly

Soaking from the damage Inflicted in youth Keep it together Basking tired and sad, forlorn and fed from fright No end in sight Zero seconds 'til collision Fire raining from your heaven Backwash people sacrifice Personal universe cessations Starvation publication, cancer-spread the lie blame those who die Oppression victimization, Backstab banker revels in pools of blood
6.
Automatic transport citizen decay Loading bodies into the shuttle bay Muted thoughts, severed brains Clockwork gears strengthen the chain Repeating the patter again The Void welcomes the next of kin Wishing, screaming, praying for this, too Coping methods all played out Imprisoned by the passing of time Stuck in this chilling paradigm Set for the motion to recall Dissidents assemble, refuting your faith Tension palpable, ready to break So ensued another mistake And watching morals as they decay The bodies rot in the shuttle bay

FTP 03:17
Gas mask infusion meets equestrian assault The child and old drenched in saccharin hope With the hammer click the glass awe splinters The sun half mast they dismiss the crowds below Broken windows are not violence Hate billows in clouds born of tear gas canister Screams from a boil wrought blood and curdle Epidermal deterioration, wounds from the ground Wash away the oil to deepen the burn in vain Broken windows are not violence Collect the wooden bullets and build your houses Out of particle board protections of classist defiance The wool grown more prized than the sheep itself Without a voice to call its own, the fur sheers back Broken windows are not violence It all tears apart from underneath We are all the ones to blame Never caring enough for them Ignoring what we've become Gazing into the blank void, a reflection of hate Piston locked eyes with the ignition spark We watch you kill your creation without thought Pornographic byproduct genocide fully televised Broken windows are not violence

about

The final form of a labor of love first conceived during the pandemic shutdown of 2020, the debut Hollow EP demands you ask yourself, "Could things be better than they are?" We hope you agree with us that they most certainly should be.
