My, my lover
The bottles stacked up like a hoarder
Honking of doner
The wreckage of the midnight order
Wasted, the shape we're in
The lives we hide from eyes of friends
Hatred of sobering
Behind the eyes, we're suffering
Whiskey on the daily
The same shit on the fucking telly
Locked up with the robots
The morals of a fucking rodent
Wasted, the shape we're in
The lives we hide from eyes of friends
Hatred of fucking sobering
Our minds rewind our lives again
Oh shit, it's getting ugly
So cough me up
Just shame and cholesterol
Bin me off like a husk
Cough my soul out your blowhole
Just cough me up
Just fuck me up
Just fuck it right up
I'll face this on my own
My failure's all you've known
So throw me up
Blow my chunks out your gob
So throw me up
Sick your guts out, I'm gone
It's not like it's a surprise
But it pries the light from my eyes
All that time, wasted
All that time, I was wasted
I'll face this on my own
My failure's all you've known
Just fuck me up

Shatter Them
04:17
|

|
On wretched days when you fail to start
When doubt and fear clog up your heart
Stagnated pain gains a sharpened edge
Like stalactites of old regrets
No human being lives a perfect life
To fuck up is to be alive
Focus up, breathe deep again
We’ll face those fears, we’ll shatter them
Take that pain
Take it on
Make it pay
Bring it on
Face your doubts
Take them on
Strike them down
Get 'em gone
When faces swirl of those you’ve failed
Like that fucked up face on the Cosmo trail
The stagnant air of a thousand Ls
Obscures your path out of Asphodel
Fucked up before and I'll do it again
We're just normal men, we're just innocent men
Give your pain a shape you can comprehend
We'll seize these demons, we'll shatter them
Face your doubts
Take them on
Strike them down
Get 'em gone
Shatter them, yeah
My darkest hours do not define me
Ride my pride like a torrent behind me
My deepest fears will never own me
I’ll spread these wings, leave the misery below me
I am entire, I am centred, I endure
I emerge
And your heart is a fire, a crucible
Take that pain, make it pay, make it usable
Weaponise your despair and defeat
May the ground you walk quake at your feet
Shatter them, yeah
I emerge

Momentary extraction
From a war of attrition
Evacuation
On a solo mission
Pull the ripcord
On your personal hell
Catch me in the lobby
Of the Wilde hotel
Code red
Alarm bells ringing
Sirenhead
Anxiety brimming
Elvis
Has left the building
Fuck this
Oh, let's fucking go
No romance, no violence
Just clarity and silence
When you've heard the secrets centuries can tell
Catch me in the lobby of the Wilde hotel
Stare down
Lay flat
C'mon, push the pedal
Stare down
Lay flat
Mash it into the metal
Fall back
Retreat
Let my heart rate settle
Code red
Sirenhead
Amygdala stinging
Code red
You gotta be kidding
Sirenhead
Oh, let's fucking go
No romance, no violence
Just clarity and silence
When you've heard the secrets centuries can tell
Catch me in the lobby of the Wilde hotel
Let's not pretend
This is where it ends
You will see me again
After the end
Left on read by the void
Left on read, deploy deploy
Guess you never know a guy
Guess you never know shit
Code red
It won't be ignored
Sirenhead
Pull the fucking ripcord
Elvis
Has left the building
Fuck this
Oh, let's fucking go
No romance, no violence
Just clarity and silence
When you've heard the secrets centuries can tell
Catch me in the lobby of the Wilde hotel

The Wound
04:31
|

|
Dissatisfaction
Obstinance
Resignation
Dissonance
We are the wound
Despairing distances
A sarcastic hyperlapse
Lives stretched thin
As flesh across tarmac
We are the wound
Wrists tied, duty bound
Empty eyes hug the ground
Gaze locked on a final loss
Unwilling to process the cost
Drag the earth into the grave
Reckless abandon
Impermanence
Doctor Manhattan
Acquiesce
We are the wound
Drag the earth into the grave
We are the wound

It's time to come
Now take what you want
I live for your pleasure
Always enough
To see you get off
Clutched now we're locked
I only desire
your pleasure from me
Always
Always
Always
At your service
Today I obey
Every demand
Pull back and replay
Come get this love
Serving it up
Busting that fucking fabulous nut
Dick game on lock
Dad bod so hot
Thirsty as fuck
Living like a
Fuckboy

Thirsty as fuck, boy

Thirsty as fuck
Time for fancy dancing
I know that I want to
Let's all get our rocks off
I'm doing this for you
Ignited with ardour
Knowing you're all mine
Feed me your desires
Now you know I'm
Thirsty as fuck

At your service

It feels like every day I drag myself online
To blast a year of trauma straight into my mind
Hyperfixated on today's catastrophe
You guys have fun with that, I gotta work on me
Cos hey
Life's a cabaret
Closing any day
So why fucking wait?
Pop the good champagne
Isn't it just enough to drive a sucker mad?
Today I watched atrocities behind a sponsored ad
When every thumb swipe triggers existential fear
It's not unreasonable to crave a fucking beer
Cos hey
Life's a cabaret
A cursed matinee
So it's probably okay
To hit the cans midday
So pour the shots and tell me when it's over
We'll slam 'em back with the bombs overhead
No way I'm gonna ride this out sober
I wanna be on the first wave dead
So pour the shots and tell me when it's over
I’m at capacity for horror
No way I'm gonna ride this out sober
Dull the screams to an easy murmur
It's a race to the bottom
And it's a long way down
Will we ever reach the bottom?
Don't look down
So pour the shots and tell me when it's over
We'll slam 'em back with the bombs overhead
No way I'm gonna ride this out sober
I wanna be on the first wave dead
So pour the shots and tell me when it's over
I’m at capacity for horror
No way I'm gonna ride this out sober
Dull the screams to an easy murmur

This version of him
A shadow of him, a mirror of me
Emaciated
All I can see, all I can see
Flippant acceptance
Always a king, never a crown
No fucking fear
Psyching it out, facing it down
One sallow face overwrites decades
The acrid haze, the final fading days
This is not a place of honour
Nothing survives but the horror
Huddled in rapture
Sliding doors, freezing floors
Time lost all meaning
Laboured breaths, come to rest
The corvids gathered
Tippi Hedren, Tippi Hedren
Dismissive side-eye
Facing the end, the face of the end
Crooked teeth imprinted in defeat
A polaroid of a clan destroyed
This is not a place of honour
Nothing survives but the horror
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
This is not a place of honour
Nothing survives but the horror

Squatter

Our time is over
Now recalibrated from your mental slaughter
Slaughter
So naïve to think
I could believe you were my lover
Just a squatter, just a squatter, a fuckin' squatter
Squatter
Ultimately I am free
But no assertion that I'm still me
A twisted shadow of my former self
I suppose it’s my fate
I’m now forced to accommodate
An unknown me, have I been expelled?
Always occupied, since I opened up I'm compromised
After too much time
I’m no longer hoping to die
What doesn’t kill us only makes us ponder
Finally out of my life
You’re now a squatter stuck in my mind
My thoughts now a pathetic maunder
I’ve only felt cursed, since I let you in cos I let myself hope
All I want
Disallowed
Biding time
To strive somehow
For normalcy
Just staring down
Feeling like
Forever’s now
Now you’re finally gone
At least physically I press on
But will I imitate you going forward
Gone are the days
I assumed I only merit praise
Now I’m lashing out when I abhor to
Yeah, but I'm learning to embrace
Every passing rancid thought, I'm attempting to reverse
Now you serve as a reminder of what not to be
Now I am grateful for the lessons you gave me
I keep you locked down, now I'll learn to be free
Now I am grateful for the lessons you gave me
I keep you locked down, now I'll learn to be free

An Echo

The strength of a father squandered on his kin
Ashes stagnant, long interred within
A token gesture forever on our skin
The hope of this bloodline was washed away with him
Lost for a decade, I find myself adrift
A failing dynasty, succession but a myth
The future calls to me and she demands a gift
A request so humble yet still I cannot give
Where once we reigned
Nothing shall remain
Leave me to decay
You'll come to curse my name
Eyes ever downward, tomorrow falls to me
The weakness of this man exposed for all to see
I can't forgive myself for dragging you with me
But with our fates entwined, together now we grieve
Where once we reigned
Nothing shall remain
Leave me to decay
You'll come to curse my name
This meagre paradise shattered by regret
Showed up empty-handed, left with even less
We asked for nothing, and nothing's what we get
But an echo of a heartbeat from a soul we never met
The unspeakable days that we wept through
The unspeakable ways that I failed you
It's unspeakable, the way out is through
The unspeakable
Fly away

INTERNET PROTOCOL
by MASTER BOOT RECORD
supported by 7 fans who also own “Actus Reus”
One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song. Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact.

Wake of a Nation (EP)
by Zeal and Ardor
supported by 5 fans who also own “Actus Reus”
If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound. The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP.
