You said mankind never asked itself why it deserved to survive. Maybe you
Don't.

Hold this line as the final time
A finite life in memetic reprise
Too much relies on facile signs
Too much defines a meaning it can’t find
And in the course of their lives entwined
With one denied with one that’s left behind
A spate of precepts redefined
When all it needed is a reason to survive
Cut back another wasted life
A shell of fear on a fucking waste of time
Who’ll take stock of the sum of what I’ve done?
Who’ll sing an empty refrain when I’m gone?
Anemic lines hide fading minds
No furtive host more decrepit of kind
To paralyzed imperiled lies
To puerile voice the half won flow of time
And in the course of their lives entwined
With one denied with one that’s left behind
A spate of precepts redefined
When all it needed is a reason to survive
Cut back another wasted life
A shell of fear on a fucking waste of time
Who’ll take stock of the sum of what I’ve done?
Who’ll sing an empty refrain when I’m gone?
Cut back another wasted life
A shell of fear on a fucking waste of time
So take stock on the sum of what I’ve done
Then sing an empty refrain and I’m
Gone

I want to scream the words I never spoke
I want to sing a song I never wrote
I want to paint a name across the sky
To show the world a light that’s never
So sink to swim to drown or breathe again
Choke on the words resigned and pacified
Recite in vain the lines between the lies
An empty sky won’t say that we are
Gone to no here after all time we might seek
I’ll bleed relief with my face gazing to the
Deep

Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
A fettered heart, waking
Tainted youth fading
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerize my senses
Souls entwined one more time
All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They're all you'll leave behind within their mind
Time recedes every day
You can search your soul but you won't see
As we pass ever on and away
Towards some blank
Infinity

When one sun sets and no stars rise
What candle’s flame can shine such light?
In peace the end the pieces mend
Fading through the fading minds
Ceaseless bound the boundless seize
On careless calls to these released
While building walls I’ll never climb and digging holes to pass the time
Robed in palls the worse to face
Revolted, ragged, fetid restraints
Its only dead inside this atheistic eremite
To fade to fall the worse to fake
Survival as habit your memory I take
To make airs of sorrow to play at fame
Weave veils of sympathy to pass on blame
And when I’ve failed I know I’ve tried
And when I rise you'll know I lied
Cowered behind walls I've built
An armored shell pulled low like silt
To gasp
To drown
In
My
Guilt

Careless hopes in dreams envisioned
Kneel before an indecision
Passive voiced in my volition
Dullest blades deepest incision
This is the aftershock of superstition
Here in the calloused heart of my condition
Deceive to show you how all of this started
Believe that this is what you always wanted
I am the mindkiller I am the blood on your hands
I am the cut down when the strong would stand
I am the mindkiller I am the hope that’s drowned
I am the soul sick cancer coming down
I am
I am the waning storm I am the witless worm
I am the tepid raining eye of confusion
I am the lecherous bore I am the guileless whore
I am the furrowed brow in stagnant protrusion
I am the cutting cord I am the rusting sword
I am the ends escape an easy solution
I am the violent arm I am the silent harm
I am the devil standing on your right shoulder
I am the uncontrolled I am the biting cold
I am the fire that is left here to smolder
I am the remained part I am the sick at heart
I am the failure I am the one
Breathing

Can you walk a circle to its end
And still claim this was progress
Can the link rejoin the chain
In solitary finite regress
In lowered gaze is seen through ouroborean lethargy
A stone wrought cairn seeking only reprieve
Is it enough to say that i’m breathing?
Is it enough to say that i’m bleeding?
Is it enough to say i’m just standing?
Is it enough? Is it enough to survive?
I have walked the path a thousand times
And not once has it been progress
But when the soil cries out your name
One voice will rise one voice will quiesce
Stranger still or stranger now
And treading water until it drowns
Is it enough to say that i’m breathing?
Is it enough to say that i’m bleeding?
Is it enough to say i’m just standing?
Is it enough? Is it enough to survive?
It’s not enough to say I’m just breathing
It’s not enough to say i’m just bleeding
It’s not enough to say I’m just standing
It’s not enough It’s
Not Enough To Survive

I've been thinking about what we talked about before.
It's not enough to survive. One has to be
Worthy of Surviving...

This is a triumph! So hard to pick just one track when each song is better than the last. Klack has really just got a great sound that can be successfully remixed into just about anything. Personally I think the first 6 tracks are perfect

Fans of Fire-Toolz, take note! The brutal new LP from STCLVR occupies the same sonic territory, with harsh electronics & pummeling beats.

The latest from the aptly-named bleak lives in the dark valley between musique concrete & power electronics, stark and harrowing.
