She was a friend of mine, nearby all the time.
A vision of the clearest kind.
Without a place to roam, too high and alone.
Her eyes of revenge come to see my end.
I had my head in tune, gone out and left the room.
A strange heat that fixed the sky told me to take a ride.
Told you to say goodbye, that there's a wind and atomic shine
and everywhere are vanishing signs.
I'm a vulgar rarity, I don't want your charity.
Back where I started from, God-Head seeks the sun.
Just a dab and my path is clear.
Riot mind knows no fear.
The apocalypse so near.
Here, son, hold my beer,
I'm getting drunk on these tears.
I'm a vulgar rarity, I don't want your charity.
I saw through my disguise, Last page in a book of lies.
Last chance to get a rise, still hear her ghost-like cries.
An unlikely 31 minute bridge between screamo, grind, sludge and more—sharp turns from vicious snare smatterings to chunked string slowdowns, all built inspire your body to whip and thrash with Cloud Rat's messages of pain, anxiety, and suffering. Bright chord intrusions suggest that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, but Threshold in its stream of consciousness frenzy is not the end of this journey—thank goodness for that! progdolphin
