lyrics

The lips, they stutter. The tongue is weak. Eyes stay dim, but the path is still.

Hashem, I am where you've been. Still a shadow you steal my name and give me bones. Cold fingers, an embrace I call your own

She paints her lips with the lashes of whips worn from use on tired beast. Dripping like an out pour of sacred tales. Hashem, your yolk does not complain of the wounds, but laments with me. The bodies you bury lay bare.

Let us not call it murder, but you left us alone. Dare we say you assist. Accomplice, uncover rotting verse. She leaps with song and dance. Her feet bleed.

Face me. I try to perceive a lover. You dissipate behind.

Eyes suffer, while moments press as they haunt from a place that they cannot be seen. And they will grow calloused with blood.

Orange Mathematics
by Frontierer

supported by 7 fans who also own “Helem”

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

One of my new favorite groups. /Hope and its lyrics (particularly near the end) made me misty eyed. tooljirashugg

INDWELL
by Methwitch

supported by 6 fans who also own “Helem”

Imagine the voices of every person from every conversation you ever had suddenly talking in your head ALL AT ONCE at 5x the speed in a sheer hatred directed solely at YOU while you’re withdrawing and having terror inducing hallucinations while every single person on earth is talking about you, worse yet they’re laughing at you at the same time in glass shattering high pitched shrieks and they have no eyes, just empty sockets, grinning with nails for teeth til they catch you up…. Have fun you 🫵 Tell Ya Fucking Story Walking…
