This track is a dark and eerie song that touches on themes of suffering, darkness, and death. The lyrics describe a narrator who is experiencing a nightmare and feeling forsaken by light. The song also includes references to "Frankinsonofmine," possibly a fictional or symbolic character, and the "one king," who is "demolished." There are also references to "suffering" and "strife," as well as the image of an old man "slaying the sky above." The lyrics also mention "snowmen," implying a connection to the winter season. The repeated refrain of "we run for cover" suggests a sense of fear or danger. Overall, this track is a disturbing and unsettling portrayal of suffering and darkness.
lyrics
Before the light heads down, and become ever last in darkness, my swoon forsaken. I wrap you in skin. Frankinsonofmine. Demolishing the one king. Sighing dreamily in the daylight. My nightmare returns. Incarnate suffer-rate bellowing out to shrink. Painful, bothered, and broken, the old man slays the sky above. We run for cover. Fixation of suffering fixation on strife and strangulation. From now on we know the snowmen exist. Ghost wife. We run for cover.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

Ignorant in the best way hardcore-influenced death metal for those who like to windmill in a cloud of smoke. So good even this straight edge kid could be enticed. If you liked the attitude of the first Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza album, come see this. Shoutout to Aftershock reviews for the introduction. Luke
