Nomos "Notes From The Acheron" one-sided 12"

A Witness:
I can't deny my pride
Outworn mind in a time outworn
Let me bleed
Don't help me
Rip out my insides
Hang me upside down
You can't destroy me, friend
Outworn heart in a time outworn
Let me bleed
Don't help me
Rip out my insides
Hang me upside down
Why do I try?
Fail to exist
The world rotates slowly under calloused feet
I wrap my heart in hardened skin

Changeling:
Kicking alone through decimation
Rain pouring in a state of crazed exhaustion
Pride over ripened into madness
Pain over ripened into violence
Fear has finally saved someone
What has our substance become?
Tell me what you are dreaming
I'll tell you what is real
Nothing to feel
Anything is useless
Nothing matters except everything
Landscape rolls westward

O'Fortuna:
We are temporary in this game
The burnout ends of smoky days
Winter once kept us warm
Free from nature's scorn
Stirring dulls roots with spring rain
A dead tree gives no shelter

Mendicant:
What the fuck do you know?
You live with a cancerous heart
Infecting all actions taken
Infecting all virgin souls
I can't take this
Let me be
I can't take this
You can't break me
No more of your shit
No more of your lies
I'm not a fucking fool
I'm not a fucking sucker
What am I supposed to do?
These walls are closing in
I can't stomach it anymore

Pharmakon:
Fears of these epidemics
Nature's revenge on my body
The river ran up the ravine
The woods drifted up the mountain
The rain fell and gurgled in the ruts
Salt bleached skin
Already held in the lowest regard
Reality nothing
Reality nothing
What have I held on to?
Nothing
Skin me
Hang my blemished hide
Beat me
Tarnish my mutilated pride
This will infect you too

The Fall:
I know that I shall meet my fate
The end will come
Waste of breath
In balance with this life
The end
The pain of another existence
Another chance to fuck up
Vague memories, nothing but memories
I am as ignorant as the passing dawn
Ignorant as the passing dawn
