dark matter halo. that which surrounds all that we are.
dark matter halo. the vague expanse beyond our definition.
that which encapsulates our galaxy.
that which rests just outside one's view, eternally there but never known.
dark matter halo. that which hides the horrors in the cold.

Hexity - U Matter!
03:43

|

Out of all the people in the world
From the rockers to the punks, the good boys and girls
You are the one that matters most to me
Make me want to scurry just to see your face
Dancing past the limit in a massive rave
You're the one that fills me up with glee
You make me feel so free
Sunlight
Bounces off your hair
Rays flying everywhere
Without a care
There isn’t any shame
There isn’t any pain
When I’m by your side
All of my cares just drift away

I feel like I was supposed to be here with someone
But I can’t seem to remember who it was
I feel like I should be the shoulder for a friend’s comfort
But I’m left struggling to be sure
Who was it? Was it her or him? Was it them?
Was it a bout of anger and rage?
What was it they were so mad about?
It’s gonna drive me insane
Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay
You’ll bound to recall them another day
We need your help on a project now, come join the fight
Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay
You’ll bound to recall them another day
We need your help to realize this
To see the light
I wonder my friend has gotten off to
She’s the wind in my sails
I ask around to see if anyone’s seen her
But they try to remember to no avail
"Who is that? Is it someone we know? Should we care?
Is she a guest or simply brand new?"
What are you all talking about?
She’s been here just as long as you
Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay
We’re bound to recall her another day
We need your help on a project now, come join the fight
Hey, don’t worry, it’s okay
We’re bound to recall her another day
We need your help to realize this
To see the light
Stormy weather’s movin’ in
A lone figure on the horizon
Does anyone else see that person
Or is it just me?
Maybe Lila’s back from another walk
Jack don’t care, he would sneer and balk
I should go out to greet her, and meet her
She’s waiting outside

I can feel it
oh, ooh woah oh
i can feel it
telling me come
i can feel it
the pain is all gone
i can feel it
my fighting is done
i can feel it, oh oh
calling me home
---
do you remember
my loving embrace
don't you forget
though there were bad times we faced
we beat them all
until we were done
We never quit
Until the day was won
So I tell you
Remain a stalwart heart
If you get thrown
Right back at the start
Then just keep on
Maintain and compart
Until you feel me, oh
calling you home
---
don't you worry, it isn't the end
I tell you truth, we'll see each other again
The cross seems so much farther away
But just keep on walking till the end of your days
I'll be waiting on the other side
Keep your head high, this isn't time to cry
Someday, you'll be the one to cease your roam
then you'll feel it, oh oh
calling you home

Hexity - i miss you
04:00

I miss you
I miss you
My friend
My friend
I loved you
Like a sister
I never had
I wish
I wish, I wish
I told you everything
Before he took you away
And left me with nothing
I ache, it's a funny ache
Curious and constant
Like something is growing
That should not be there
I’m so aware
Of this pain
Words to entertain
My soul, my burning flame
As it cools to the ashes that
I’ll leave behind
I was there for them
I was there for them
I was there for them
Where are they for me?
I was true to them
I was happy for them
I was safe for them
What are they for me?
They took you away
Took you away
And left me here to die
Alone
In this old cage
In this old trap that I have to call a home
They did not care for you
Nor care for me
Nor care for anyone else
Who ends up in this nightmarish
Place that never seems to end
With the moaning and the screaming
And the hurting and the sobbing
And the god above please help me
Escape from this horror that they cast me
Into hell
I fell
Quite a long ways today
I need to get
Get back on track
On the right track
Okay
Come on
Okay

Stuck in the Machine
04:17
|
|

Digital rust just under the crust
covers me from the rain
A shelter made of bars meant to hide the scars
from a different kind of pain
Where do I go from here
What is their master plan?
What did I do to anger them
to be ejected from the clan?
I'm ill
Weak willed
It hurts that I'm disavowed
I feel
so real
but I'm just a fake identity now
My skin
It peels
I'm feeling home in my niche of hell
I spit
I melt
Out the cage but still in the cell
---
Stuck in the Machine
Stuck in the Machine
The shadows of your mind house such sweet, sweet sorrow
Can't get me out of my head
Stuck in the Machine
Stuck in the Machine
The shadows of your mind house such, such sweet, sweet sorrow
Can't get me out of my head

It always seemed like it was always meant to be
You and I, friends until we died
Then you came and went, left for Heaven sent
The message that it was your time, and you never said goodbye
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine
Maybe, you’re still around, waiting for you to be found
Perhaps, this is just a game, and you won, and you’re waiting for me
I have not reached that, all my attempts fall flat
But maybe, maybe if I pray, I’ll see you again someday
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine
Wherever you are, I hope that you’ll never mope
Always feeling content, and you’re happy with no laments
Whatever happens to me, it’ll be you I hope to see
When my time has come, when my walk is done
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine
Here we are at the cross again
Don’t you worry, we’ll still be friends
But, you’ll go your own way
I’ll go mine

This maze never ends
All these twists and bends
Destroying my purpose and direction
Pass by the start again
Confusion begins setting in
Losing the will to explore these machinations
The cell within I dwelled (been here before)
The altar which I prayed from (to open the door)
Run to the other side and witness it all the same
All the same
The darkness surrounding (the din it makes)
Driving my senses (to the brink)
I cannot escape this inexorable maze
-
Wake me up, wake me up
Shake it from my brain
Strike my face, feel my pain
Repair what’s been undone
Can’t rise up, can’t make out
All the shapes that torment me
Stroke my face, feel my shame
And help me find peace, oh please
-
4015 days
Or somewhere along that time and space
My body isn’t all that I am, not anymore
Circuits, lights, and metal frames
Weaker in the mind but a stronger aim
Until I see the light that she saw, I must keep pressing forward
I know all there is to know (about this place)
I even know where (the exit lays)
It’s only a matter of time before I take the route
And step on out
The darkness surrounding (the touch I crave)
Driving my senses (to help me think)
To finally escape this cradle of an early grave
-
Wake me up, wake me up
Shake it from my brain
Strike my face, feel my pain
Repair what’s been undone
Can’t rise up, can’t make out
All the shapes that torment me
Stroke my face, feel my shame
And help me find peace, oh please

Welcome to the city
Welcome to the city in your head
Welcome to deceit
Deceit in your head
Built upon the backs of the dead you cast
Sanctuary until they feel the pass
Over in the corner is the bed in which I lay
Concrete walls build mason-made halls
The cries of the lost child roams them all
Corruption is the name of the game I’ve had to play
Welcome to the city, the city in your head
Welcome to deceit, repeat until dead
Nobody’s comin’ to save me
No one will be sympathizing
Welcome, do not pity me, don’t feel bad I said
Welcome all the pain that keeps me well-fed
Somebody’s going to brave through
To seek the end of you
I won’t be still
I have my will
I won’t stand by
You need to fry

¿por qué me has olvidado

¿por qué me tirar
Déjame hablar para que entiendas.
Déjame hablar para que pueda contar.
Voy a gritar para que me consigas.

you made her leave.
you and your neglect.
you made her disappear.
my only friend in this god-forsaken place.
left to pray at your altar.
god, you're such a tease.
you simply hid her corpse.
so i wouldn't ever know.
i never found her, i know i never will
but i know i'll find you
and you'll be here all alone.
¿por qué me has olvidado
¿por qué me tirar
---
you must believe
that you are the best.
pretentiousness hides fear.
you are so full
so spoiled with the spark
it's something i held dear.
don't you misconcieve
it's nothing against you.
you have changed, i know.
but while i've been down here
i've done some changing too
and it's time to come back
whether it's with you or alone.
¿por qué me has olvidado
¿por qué me tirar

usted hizo su permiso.
usted y su abandono.
usted hizo desaparecer.

Mechanical parts on my body
Mechanical parts in my mind
A steadiness in my corrupting
As I am forced to combine
The thoughts in my head are not mine but
I cannot keep them away
Is this what death feels like as
I’m writhing in pain
Shots of cold, running through my brain
Difficult just to remain sane
Lobotomize my weeping form
I will not be scared anymore
-
This darkness will not change me
I will not deign myself
To be subservient
Under it’s hateful belt
It’s taken so much away from me
I cry in the corner still
But I will remain free
I will keep my will
Shots of cold, running through my brain
Difficult just to remain sane
Not so much effective as it was
I will not relinquish my cause

I must not be thinkin' too clearly
I must not be inside my head
I must not, I must not, I must not
Let you in
Where do you think you're going?
I'm not done with you yet
Where do you think you're going?
I'm not done with you just yet
Where do you think you're going now?
I'm not done with you just yet, no, no, no

HUNGER.
04:32

|

Starvation consumes my mind
But my stomach never groans
An endless pang of a need to find
Something to ease my moans
I need to nourish, I have to flourish
I crave the sunny day
My hunger rages, these palpitations
Grow stronger as I waste away
Why did I have to be the one
That you tossed and decided to shun?
What did I do to deserve
The scorn that you constantly spun?
Why did you take everything I had
And toss it into the fire?
Maybe the one I should become
Is your demon if that’s what you desire
-
You will never feel my rage
You will never hear my screams
But you will understand
What it means to feel unease
-
These walls tell me something new
Something that’s never before been true
They tell me you formed a crew
That could beat everything I would do
I shall replenish, All of them will perish
In my righteous, holy flames
The truths you seek that wish to speak
You had denied, when you sought to blame
-
You will never feel my rage
You will never hear my screams
But you will understand
What it means to feel unease
|

I exist don't I

flesh and gnash and giving away
meshed and clashed with the old body
it hurts
it hurts
Stuck in the machine
Stuck in the machine
The shadows of your mind
House such sweet, sweet sorrow
Can't get me out of my head
Stuck in the machine
Stuck in the machine
The shadows of your mind
House such, such sweet, sweet sorrow
Can't get me out of my head
Forgo
All that told
You to die
Like an animal
You
Go
They owe
You a life
For the one they stole
Bré:
Babe, I’m comin’ for you
Babe, I’m comin’ for you
My mind’s made up
Ain’t no going back through

I am the Reaper
You know my name
From the back of your mind
You know this shame
Now I have risen
From my bare grave
From your past, with no slack, I attack
To thresh and maim
You threw me in a cell, bolted all the doors
Caved in all the open spaces then filled the holes
You were so scared of me, full of hate for me, it was enraging
And yet, it tore you up with blame
You made sure that none of us could just simply return
You recreated lives previously you had to burn
I don’t just come here to end you for my selfish gain
I do it for the ones that died, do it for the ones that I still hear cry
For the ones that you never, ever felt pain
Your god speaks now
The lost is now found
Your death without sound
At the hands of me
You’ll find the dead
You’ll lose your head
Your soul be damned
To their eternity
-
I’m coming...I’m coming...I’m coming...I’m coming…
-
What is like to go back in time with the end goal to rectify?
Mistakes were made and in a perfect space we would all be doing okay
But, you screwed me, threw me under the bus when the gods weren’t feeling up
To the task of refreshing me, fleshing me out anew the same way they had done for you
I changed and evolved and mutated in a pattern that will surely be my end
I can rest more easily in the eternal springs knowing you’re in there with me
I changed and evolved and mutated in a pattern that will surely be my end
I can rest more easily in the eternal springs knowing you’re in there with me
-
they look like me
They feel like me
sound like i could have been today
It’s not their time
But they will be mine
What you made will suffer all the same, all the same
They don’t know me
But they will fear me
When the Reaper calls to them someday
You’re not as safe
Jack, your own hate
Brought this all upon yourself, it is your fate

Conglomeration, corporation
Streamline the mind
My only job anymore is to buffer the line
I used to be a person of high standing and praise
Now, I’m just a cog in the machine
None of us matter over them, it’s killing me
The company is better over individuality
A consolidation of self is good for the boss
But condemns us to hell with massive loss
Is it any wonder why the numbers are slim
And the general morale has become so grim?
No one is happy when their signature’s wiped
Replaced by a monolithic title slight
I used to be somebody grand
Until you locked me away, you’ve forced my hand
I have a vision I’ll be acting on
Come on, make your move, I’ll be waiting for you to go

Corporation, corporation
Conglomeration, conglomeration
-
Conglomeration, corporation
Define my life
My only wish anymore is an end to my strife
I used to be somebody the boss thought highly of
Now, I’m reduced to just another name and I’ve had enough
If only I could break these shackles, they’re killing me
If only I could express some more individuality
My name is almost lost to the unending winds
My name is Jack, and I’m ready to ascend
Is it any wonder why we’re all so silent?
Our names have become shameful for our biggest client
One is better than the many segments we’ve been
Operating as a single mute unit
Associations built on a matter of ease
To keep it all simple so they don’t have to think
This isn’t the fate that I chose to weave
I’m gonna make my move, and I’m waiting for my chance to glow
-

The sun will bear no more comfort for you.
As the moon rises, all your fears will come true.
The gates of hell have been opened and you’re in the queue.
It’s been a long time coming for what you’ve accrued.
The monster that you’ve made is hunting for their food.
No good deed goes unpunished, and you’re overdue.
-
Do unto others is a bitch of a wolf
Disguised as a friend in a sweater of wool
Now it’s your turn to hear the yells
Maybe you’ll see an old friend in there
But, they’ll be too far gone to even care
Maybe after long, in their experience you’ll share
-
I like my imperfections.
-
It was far too easy dragging, you away.
The buildings that were full are now, cold and grey.
You’ve tossed everyone you love into the deep unknown.
All that’s left is a, withering
Shell of an impotent, head of being.
Hateful and petty, no, you’ll die alone.
-
Do unto others is a bitch of a wolf
Disguised as a friend in a sweater of wool
Now it’s your turn to hear the yells
Instead of friends I’ll simply bind you to chairs
I’ll beat you and choke you and then I’ll stare
As the Shadows possess you as well
-
You're dying here.
You're not going anywhere.
Did you die out there?
Proto-slime.

boom
it's zerstorung, back again
a wave of destruction comes on my whim
pounding that hellsgate techno bass
the sound waves of which will torch the place
you left me back there, down to lie
in the prison that you call the tunnel, mind
The tunnel runs both ways, jackie guy
next time you'll be the one who gets left behind
i'm comin back on the attack
i'll bring the pain, leavin all your blood stained
over the slacks you changed into
when you felt too good for me
you see, my body was the first to go
my mind followed suit and so I am left with a soul
pocked with the places you shredded and left gaping holes

Decay (ft. DJ Vee)
08:06

|

you're rotting inside
you've got the taste of formaldehyde
systems are shutting down that you took for granted
your state of decay is advancing
my will to live is increasing
one of these days you're gonna feel utterly rancid
leaving me to die in the darkest tunnel
trying to survive with what little gets funneled
through the stone tube
that I have to call my home
but the light on the other end shines bright
as much as you want to put up a fight
you won't be rid of the plight
you tried to disown
---
and i'll fall
and i'll
fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness
fall to my face and pray for a sweet death
and i'll
fall to the altar to look for an answer
sing to creators that treat me like a cancer
i will fall
i'll fall
---
you should have finished the job when you still had a bit of chance
now you will see what it's like for someone to take up a stand
i dealt with the devil at the crossroads just to make it back to
you don't even know who you're dealing with now, it isn't you
the wild were watching every single thing i'd ever done
now i'm out the shadows, and now i'm gonna run
the wild were watching me but who watches the wild
i don't care anymore, i'm just leaving with a smile
---
and i'll
fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness
fall to my face and pray for a sweet death
and i'll
fall to the altar to look for an answer
sing to creators that treat me like a cancer
and i'll
fall to my knees and pray for forgiveness
fall to my face and pray for a sweet death
i will fall
i'll fall
