Muted screams whipping against the walls Of this church, this house of numbness Death and resurrection of the superego Tell-tale signs of a cry for help Death by rave, straight to the grave No parole, innocent pleas unheard No fucks given for the damned No second chances, condemned Suppressed dream landfills Psychic waste kicked around Jerkily bouncing all as one Intense efforts not to feel bound to the ground Burn this church...

Holy Man 02:20
I may not be no holy man I know I'll probably sin again But am I barred from the joys of love Am I forsaken by heaven and all above Please God, tell me, say Please God, I'm listening

How dare you defy your fate? Feeling part of your soul slip through the floor Celestial choir is calling your name Answer, heed the call, frenetic one Knocking over something precious on the way Zealous, pious Your words come in smoke Shrouding the burgundy halls In the most sacred shawl Conjured out of your corporeal body The next kin's serpent flesh Dextrous, calloused digits Fine tuning the inward mesh Haptic anagogy

Holy hunter do not speak a word for it is blasphemou to interrupt the prose of the Cosmos -- silence is in order. It disrupts the mind of the weak. Those who flinch are possessed by demons and their hearts clench under the judgement of the All-Seeing eyes. Bless you and may your spirit disperse in serenity. Amen. Omen. Acumen. Regretful guilt wells up in tears Harbour hate towards oneself Foster bittersweet pride Convinction is a heavy burden Having faith in your own heart Is a slow vicious poison that kills

Shapeless 01:29
Chasing after a visceral feeling Uncontrolllable pull that I'm listening Nurturing a dream where you're missing Stretch into the void to recollect Chase If you see me, hold me tight, give me will, make me fight I'm seconds away from being an echo And to never see the light of tomorrow If you see me, hold me tight, give me will, make me fight I'm seconds away from being an echo And to never see the light of tomorrow Fade

Reflections do not carry essence Echoes do not wield volume Shadows do not bear ressemblance Scents do not presume taste Why do you chase afterimages Why do you linger on aftertastes Why do you look for faded trails Why do you hark for the echoes Why do you hark for the echoes Free yourself of this cumbersome luggage, for it is heavy. Your past is eating you up. Come to the mirror that stands alone in the lake. The looking glass is generous and gifts you with insight. Look at yourself, who exists in the present but still bears the many guilts of the past. Say that you forgive the person in the mirror. Forgive yourself.

about

" Amselysen plunges into an abstract ghostly realm, not only from a formal sonic standpoint, but conceptually; inspired by an antiquated and frenzied divining mode incarnating the metaphysical into physical embodiment:Angelic silhouettes amass and glimmer against an empty black fabric, shapeless in their ever-morphing mechanical dance:As the unreliable narrator mumbles, chugging through the skeletal remains of techno, their accidental gestures fabricate haunted and textural sonic tapestries, architected instantaneously, all while being consolidated under a wispy yet dynamic avant-pop overseer.The fluid mesh woven through the EP is oft cut sharply by unapologetic turns, as to reflect the lyrical facet of the work. From all the genres it borrows, Amselysen pays its pseudo-ritualistic respects before removing itself from any identifiable fields, like the aberration it embodies."
