OVERCAST LYRICS

1. Apocalypse Upon Us

Gag on ash dust
Orange clouds loom in the summer's frozen chill
Winding down, grinding down
As our snowballing karma begins to titan
Apocalypse upon us
Emptiness is our end
Emptiness

Legions of dark divide and surround
Coming from all parts of this forsaken town

And how to you keep from laughing
When you tell me it's alright
And why do you keep from weeping
When you tell me we will see tomorrow

So easily depressed
So deeply obsessed
Worthless we've succumb
Meaningless you've all become

So much freedom in carelessness
Everything is in the palm of our sweaty paws
Rust to dust, fool proof solutions that draw flies
Oh how your legs tire
Muscels seize and bones crumble
But the urge to run carries on
The fire in your eyes rips through the streets
My taste for it has soured

Dead to the world am I
Cause I never had faith in your kind
Will you still hide your face when he is standing at your back door
When he is sulking through your kitchen
Till he is scratching under your bed
Closer than you think
We are all nothing

2. Spun

Scrambling to regain the shards of ideals shattered before me
Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth

This day remains charred

Immersed in the pools of reason
Deny the weight of gravity
Spiralling in rhythm of heartbeats
Embracing this virgin reality

Chemical agent transforms me
Angel wings rise, unbound from flesh
Sight open to all dimensions
Revel in the power on this day of rebirth

Like the moments of death...
My life streams by in flashes
Interwound...
With the dream of the ancient

Annotated with knowledge from journeys of past
Bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting
Not losing myself but growing into everything

Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending.

3. Filter Of Syntax

Wading in the midst of this singularity
Universe condensed to the size of a wave
Alien thoughts invade my mind, focus attention then denied
Opiate dream soon realized and I am left half stranded

Wading in the midst of this singularity
Inspiration and expression in union as one
Children rally round Jah's fire, destroy Babylon desire
Scrape away the city lies, nature only masks the divine

Purging dispair through a filter of syntax
Bridge to Zion built with the words of the righteous

But I will transcend
I will exceed
I will transcend
I will suceed
I will transcend
I will exceed
You will not deny me

4. Styrofoam Death-Machine

[Instrumental]

5. Your (Destructive) Self

Can we live through this?

Agents of the devil are you all
Prostituting mundane revolution
March on man/machine
Fear should only be of yourself

Fear should be of yourself

You rape all human pleasure
Harvest economic slavery
Bleeding whores of greed
As our montrosity turns on us

Still I struggle to remain conscious
Because you idea of right
Has always been wrong
Always been wrong

Always been wrong
Always will

Enriched by disease
We fuck this planet dry and my question to you is
Can we live through this?

Mother squelch your children
Far too out of hand are they
Stumbling and stuttering your purpose
On this day of reckoning

You will be the death of you all

6. More Metal Than Your Ma's Kettle

In the shadow abyss
Of the wilderness
The call of a dear brother is but the sound
Of a stranger

Ancient fires will arise
Power of the lifeless to stand once more
Punishment for our sins
Payment is due

7. Seven Foot Grin

You alone are abuse
You alone are pain
Extinction held within your fist
All good things come to those who slaughter

Bursting with laughter your anecdotes agonize
I would shatter that grin

Depression, the rust that binds this soul together
Corrosive entropy
Here you will not find solace beating savage madness into primative
innocents

It is the purity the broken question
It is the morality the promise broken
Serenity sanctified inside your microcosm
You stench of vile irrelevance

Shards of glass bleed bloody knuckles
I would shatter that grin

Well I want nothing more of humanity, I've finally
Become this evil within
Letting lose my inner beast as I grip your neck and twist
Welcome to the opposition bastard
Enjoy the validity of brutality
Bestowed upon us in return

As I grip your neck and twist

8. Dousing This Flame

Handing the invitation over
To the dark figure in the corner
I stare at the glaze that forms over your eyes
As the pain leaps from these lips
It's all coming back to me now
With everything I've become it's a wonder I'm still me

My breath refuses to be caught
Although I've tried to force this back
I let the numbness win

I return with a sieging vengeance
Back in pour my starving habits
Dousing this flame with anger as my eyse dig deep into your face

Forget this time like your smile
Lays broken at my feet
Can't you see you never had a chance
You never had a chance

I don't stop
I don't stop, I won't stop
Hold still while all this passes

I won't stop, I don't stop
Be still my will is not my own

Why can't I out run what I've been known to lose?

Sticky sweet with sarcasm
My mouth is sealed shut

Yeah, don't you wish you could forget me now?

You will never forget me now

9. Forecast

I view deep in this reflection
It's just the outside world looking in
Even if I could escape is
Is suffocation
Cascading bursts of light
Illuminating from the silence

But I still wonder if pulling free is
Is necessary
What else could I do?
I feed off of your cruelty

Once again I torch this day
It probably never existed
I used to think I had a grasp
That door closed years ago

I predicted the armageddon
I predicted the absolute
My lack of insanity held me back
I could have saved you all
But why?
The sheep retain their wish
Swallowed
Swallowed in Hell-fire
Why?
The sheep retain their wish

Swallowed

I don't listen to tomorrow
I don't look beyond the overcast

I won't see the forecast anymore
I won't look beyond the overcast
