about

Hedonism, utopianism, or mysticism will not save us. They will only bring us along in a circle. Another world is not possible; this is all we have, and we must understand it and take down this "shroud of mystery" to understand and change.

lyrics

In search of a life of passion I was pulled deep in the trenches
Between fierce anger and mystic romance— so lost in the grips of their clenches,
Pillars of unfaltering heat kept me warm enough in the dark
To swim back and forth to both spectrum ends of this farce;

Songs of retribution against oppressive hands
Still do not validate an individual stance;
Yet utopian happiness is a carrot on a stick,
And valueless to the good life it contradicts.

A simple blockade: lack of self discipline,
Revolution without revolution;
Hedonism only births banality—
Nothing of distinction.
