Forced to imagine a world where I can be myself all this guilt and shame I don’t know where to turn for all that I’ve left behind and for all that I’ve felt there’s no way to address all the selves I’ve killed I am still not I but a mask made of stone an ego filled to the brim ready to be set ablaze forcing myself to believe in the other I. And I will seek redemption for what I’ve caused never to look away or bury the self. An undertow of past regrets to fully realize where I’ve been unearth the killing dream of what I meant to do gut wrenching desires douse my head in flames a dissociation from the mind I begged myself to never look behind so I’ll take all I’ve learned so I don’t suffocate. The I in me that’s left to live in this bastard place of mirrors the material world is suffering the material world is suffering.
Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom.
