I was looking for the good,
In a fire that burned my house down,
Was a light that led the way,
From my cold and lonely hometown
But now I'm growing up,
I see anew by starlight,
The monster in the embers,
Will not be stopped by night,
So I turn to lonely flight,
By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,
Every word is knives,
In the land where empire started,
In the graveyard of the future,
Where the island's soul departed,
And your father told you lies,
About where to find your heartbeat,
So you play the game of progress,
Where there's only win or cheat,
I'll embrace my first defeat,
By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,
And while the fire's still burning,
I will wait beside the flames,
To make sure that there's nothing left,
Of these old and bloody games,
And every twisted empire,
That fell in ages past,
Proves time's final whisper,
Time's noblest offspring is the last,
By the light of my bridges burning,
I will cast aside my name,
There's nothing left to hold me here,
In the last kingdom of my shame,
And though I hear your chanting,
Of 'die, die, die,'
I will be your son no more,
You don't deserve to have me try,

I don't remember the words to this song,
I wrote them so long ago that it isn't about you,
But it used to be my only song,
So I wrote some new words about you,
Let's pretend to be ourselves,
Let's pretend it's all alright,
Let me make it all up to you,
I'll write a song that cuts me like your life,
I don't remember the meaning of these words,
They were never meant to be about the feelings in me now,
But I can't think of any better words,
And I'm never going to sing them anyhow,
Let's pretend to be ourselves,
Let's pretend it's all alright,
Let me make it all up to you,
I'll write a song that cuts me like your life,
I can't remember how to play these chords,
I didn't write the song for me to play,
But all that's left are these chords,
And no-one's going to hear me today,
Let's pretend to be ourselves,
Let's pretend it's all alright,
Let me make it all up to you,
I'll write a song that cuts me like your life,

so now pride is destruction and i have come to destroy
the only way to save yourself is to use me like a toy
and nothing is the answer to the questions i dont ask
you tear off my face but im not wearing a mask
I don't know how to mark this on the scorecard in my mind,
I'm looking for a better question but this is all I find,
Perspective is a sense of the mind and not the heart,
I never thought I'd want this much to have my senses torn apart,
And by the time that I woke up enough to pay back your love,
My dream had gone the way of all the things we spoke of,
And you'll never convince me I've enough to give,
I am not the one to love with,
And if there is an answer, it's not the one I say,
And you won't ask another day,

I love this so much, I spent about 2 minutes trying to decide if I love Yes Artemis more for being stuck in my head constantly or Articles of Secession for being my life goal. The Flock is also amazing and every remix is so good. I love this is what I'm saying

I am a queer goth who works in climate. thanks for giving my soul an outlet for all this despair. I too dream of gutting billionaires... and would gladly drown when the flood comes for them. thanks for helping me keep the abyss at bay and stay in the fight. can't thank you enough for this album.

SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual

1st & 2nd listen: a masterclass in what I'll call the "industrial crooner" style, since the actual genre morphs from one song to the next.
