LONG DRIVES TO THE BEACH
I'M SEVEN BUT SOMEHOW LESS
BUCKET SEAT RIDERS ON PAINKILLERS
SINGING ALLELUIA OR WHATEVER THE FUCK
LAID OUT ON THE BACK SEAT
YOU'RE EIGHT BUT HAVE SEEN IT ALL
IT STARTS WITH YOUR FEET
THEN BUILDS UP TO YOUR MOM'S BACK PAIN TOOL
YOU’RE LIVING NEXT DOOR AND YOU’RE LAUGHING
[REDACTED]
YOUR TIMING WAS ALWAYS IMPECCABLE
YOU WANTED TO KNOW IT IS WHAT YOU SAID
YOU WANTED TO SHOW ME IS WHAT YOU MEANT
YOU ALREADY KNEW
YOU’VE ALREADY SHOWN
I DRIVE THE UGLY TRUTH
INTO MY NAILBED
FOR FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS
TBI SPRING BREAK FOR FRONTAL LOBE
POST-CONCUSSION DREAMLAND EXPRESS
[REDACTED]
BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF
FIVE RED NAIL HOLES ON DISPLAY
FOR THE WAITING ROOM DWELLERS
PICKED UP FROM THE PARTY
YOU'RE SPEAKING CLEARER THAN YOU THINK
YOU TELL ME YOUR PLANS
AND WHY YOU MADE THEM
AND HOW YOU’D DO IT AGAIN
YOU WANTED TO KNOW IT IS WHAT YOU SAID
YOU WANTED TO SHOW ME IS WHAT YOU MEANT
BUT I ALWAYS FORGET
AND I ALWAYS SURVIVE
AND THIS IS HOW NOBODIES ARE MADE
ENJOY YOUR ADDICTION TO EVERYTHING

URGENCY INFORMED
BY A MEASURE OF SUFFERING
IS THE SCALE CALIBRATED
IS THE HYPOTHESIS SOUND
ARE YOU TRULY THIS IN LOVE
WITH YOUR SCENT AND APPEARANCE
TO TAKE IT TO THIS VERY PLACE
YOU BRAGGED ABOUT YOUR ARMAMENTS
WHY ARE THEY COLD AND DRY
ANSWER YOURSELF AFTER EIGHT HOURS
AND FILL ME IN IF YOU WAKE UP IN TIME
A PLOT FOR GUILT AND SHAME
VALIDITY MEASURED
AND RESOURCES COUNTED
BY THE SAME SET OF EYES
A PLACE FOR GUILT AND SHAME
SOMEONE ONCE YELLED
G-D HAD A FUCKING SICK IDEA OR PURPOSE FOR THAT PAIR
THAT AWFUL PAIR
A PLAN FOR GUILT AND SHAME
THE ONE YOU ALLOW
THE ONE YOU SEE FIT
THE ONE YOU LOVE

SURVEY IN FULL AND WITHOUT REVISION THE LOT YOU HAVE COLONIZED.
INSULAR GARDEN, CELL BENEATH AN OPEN SKY.
YOUR FEET CARVE WINDING TRACKS LEFT FOR THOSE YOU LURE INSIDE.
"THIS IS THE WAY," YOU SAY, WITH MOISTENED EYES AND INVITING
POSTURE.
YOU KNOW JUST HOW WELL IT WORKS.
THE SYMBOLS WITH WHICH YOU ADORN THE WALLS ENGENDER AN INITIAL TRUST,
ALLOWING UNDETECTED MOVEMENT INSIDE WHERE YOUR IMPRINT IS LEFT.
STENCH PAINTED THEREIN. SUSPICION DISABLED.
THEY LOOK BACK WITH FAITH AND SYMPATHY UNTIL THE FEAR COMES.
VULNERABILITY FULLY CULTIVATED OPENS THE DOOR TO PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL TYRANNY.
ALWAYS UNDER THE GUISE OF A HELPING HAND, OF SACRED SELF-SACRIFICE.
AND WHEN YOU FINALLY SEE THEIR FACES IN FOCUS,
MARKED BY PAIN AND TERROR AND DISGUST,
YOU WRITHE IN THE SHIT-PILE OF WEAK, SPINELESS APOLOGY.
WITHOUT COMFORT FROM SEMANTIC TRICKERY, YOUR CLUMSY SEARCH FOR G-D.
ALONE WITH THE ALONE IN A COWARDLY OLD VOID.
NO MORE HARM DONE. HANDS ARE TIED.
TAKE AWAY THE MOVEMENT.
TAKE AWAY THE SIGHT.
TAKE AWAY DECISIONS.
LEAVING ONLY THOUGHT.

I DUG A PASSAGE
BENEATH YOUR FOOTPRINTS
TO DRAG YOUR IMAGE
TO THE CENTER
OF THE EARTH
THERE WAS A MESSAGE
THAT STILL HAD MEANING
CARVED ON THE ENTRY
TO THE CENTER
OF THE EARTH
STAGNANT DEPOSITS
OF LOVING-KINDNESS
ONTO THE VAST DISEASE
OF G-D’S FORGETFULNESS
WE DRILLED A TUNNEL
INTO THE RIBCAGE
TO DRAW ITS CONTENTS
FROM THE RIND
AND LEAVE FOR GOOD
AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
MOVEMENT DETECTION
WITHIN THE CONSTRUCT
INSTALLED FOR NO ONE
WHO EXISTS OUTSIDE OUR HOME
I SAW AN EXIT
MY NAME IN NEON
THEY URGED AGAINST IT
I WENT THROUGH IT ANYWAY
I TASTED DEADNESS
BATHED IN MY VOMIT
LOOKED AT REFLECTIONS
THAT ARE FOREIGN TO ME STILL
VACUUM FOR SPUTUM
LIFE SENTENCE FALSEHOOD
THERE’S NOT A FUCKING THING
THAT YOU CAN TELL ME NOW
AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

Endless Detainment
by Serpent Column
supported by 10 fans who also own “Pleural Hymns”
Habituellement, j'écris mon commentaire dans la foulée une fois que j'ai terminé tel ou tel album mais là... J'ai vraiment besoin de quelques minutes, pour reprendre mes esprits. Parce que Serpent Column a totalement perdu le sien dans Endless Detainment. Cet E.P., c'est un cataclysme de black/death metal cacophonique et hystérique qui tient sur vingt-et-une minutes et qui ne s'arrête jamais — au point de s'achever avec un fade out. Tout tient ensemble grâce à un sens de la technique inhumain !
