Convince Me to Bleed

Bring me your ashes, gather your tears
I feast on the remnants of your worries and fears
Present me your love, display your affection
Detest my hopelessness, ignore my deflection
Inflict with your hatred, it's just what I need
Force me to care, convince me to bleed
Expose me with passion, reveal your heart
(Watch me as I tear my own body apart)
Suffocate until I no longer breath
Together we can be free
Life,
Why have you forsaken me?
Force me to exist, to be
A deceiver, an enemy
Present me your love, display your affection
Detest my hopelessness, ignore my deflection
Inflict with your hatred

If I hung for a while maybe you'd understand
You could watch my dead eyes, hold my cold lifeless hands
If I let myself bleed, just to see how it feels
Hide scars like memories, keep them concealed
I am hate concentrated
Regret as a vapor
Pure sorrow and loneliness
Liferuiner, trust-taker
Worthless
Ignore it
Blaspheming child, careless adult
Irredeemable beggar, but it's all my fault
Is there anything worth it
Beyond the hopeless act
To bring life to this world
To gore a naked wound
If I hung for a while maybe you'd understand
You could watch my dead eyes, hold my cold lifeless hands
If I let myself bleed, just to see how it feels
Hide scars like memories, keep them concealed

Shrines of Bone

Shrines, of bone
Elegant creations speak
Ground, to powder
Pale light sings in tune
They march
Temple, of guilt
Reactions, suffocate my will
They swoon

Sanguine Mask

Am I dead yet?
Feign silk and plastic
Am I calescent?
Drain blood and marrow
Annihilation is not the conclusion
Releasing falsehoods like helium kites
A festival of celebrated destruction
Death at my own hand
Shimmering mirage of fascination
A purple lake, too superficial to wade across the shore
Save me
Wishing with coins tossed in a fountain of black
Water dripping in rhythm to the tune of desire
Swaying boughs of a deciduous forest
Unconstrained and illusory labyrinth
Suicide, is a delusion
Yearn to sleep swathed in its affection
Am I dead yet?
Feign silk and plastic
Am I calescent?
Drain blood and marrow

A Crystal Lattice

Faceless, appendages, haunting
Formless, vestigial organs
Shadows
Bathing in iron, sinking
Carapace, fractured, billowing
Darkness
Tracing the lines of woven follicles
Forged in irregular casts
Daylight, followed revulsion
Faceless, appendages, haunting
Formless, vestigial organs
Shadows
Waiting for the day I finally come through
Patronage isn’t enough
Sacrifice to nightmare gods
Forever

At least I tried
I offer every morsel of myself for you to consume
And once my flesh is no longer
I give you bits of my soul on a plate for eating
I watch as you sprinkle them on your tongue for a taste, and vomit them onto the pavement
They blow away, scattered by a sickly warm breeze
And when everything that I once was, disappears into a haze of dust and fingernail clippings, picked scabs and cracked lips
At least I tried
You wonder why I am gone
A shadow of transcendence
A silhouette of what could have been
A forgotten puddle after…
After a funeral rain
A lover of the moon, mourner of the stars, loather of self
And from my ashes, hatred blooms with silvery petals and wilted leaves
Beautiful and tragic

For it is a Veil
05:47

Casting nets of damaged hair in a sea of bone
Devours with the coming tide, a foaming mouth shrouded inside
To pray invisible tears
To kneel in worship of its mesmerizing beauty
Fleeting clouds
Overzealous tranquility
Casting nets of damaged hair in a sea of bone
Devours with the coming tide, a foaming mouth shrouded inside
Death, falling star
To pray invisible tears
To kneel in worship of its mesmerizing beauty

Unbearable
04:14
|
|||
|
Cancerous, unyielding hidden mass
Bleeding, open wound of the innocent
Of cowardice
Breathe life
For I am weak
Searching eyes locked with an iron clasp
Sealed forever
You and I, fainthearted souls vanishing
Angular ghost
Skeletal, gaunt
Slender, skin-and-bone

Memorial obelisk
Flickering wicks of black
Pain sleeps through the evening
Resting on silhouette clouds
Take my hand
Cold and unmoving now
Slick tendrils of fragrant attraction
Set free by its spell
Lacerating the holy bandages
Furthering the torrid air
Plague of nothing
All-consuming hatred of man
Freedom, delicious and pure
On the wings of a dancing flame
A candle
A candle lit for death

DSBM done right. My favorite from Lifelover. Raw, emotional, dancy, and melodic.

A masterpiece. Christmas music for the depressed.

Slow and brooding. Painful vocals accompanied by music with a classical feel.

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic. This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10

This is so raw, honest and powerful. It's everything I look for when I listen to music. So glad I saw Blackbraid at Hellfest (by chance, as I was walking by). Been listening ever since.

Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.
