I know we bleed the same
But my head is fucked and I love the pain
I feed on empathy
So come, gather round
Give me what I need
Parasite
I've got a lot on my mind and a lot to get out
But when I open my mouth my mind starts to doubt
The depth and worth of the words that I speak
Will they ever lead to the answers I seek?
Watch me fall at your feet now
Hear a beggar's plea
Break me
Break my back and watch me fall
Underneath
You'll see my true intent unfold
There's no illusion behind blatant deceit
So when the curtain calls
I'll have to stand to my feet
And take hold
Take a hold of all my vices
Take a hold of the black in me
Knock a hole in my defences
And set all my captives free
Though I'm not a perfect person
I hope to God you'll see
My will to overcome is enough to
Pull me out from underneath
A moment of silence could set me alight
The mistakes that I've made bring dead ends to life
So hold back my breath; let my eyes see straight
This disposition won't be the death of me
Sick sick, sick sick
The only answer I'm given is sick, sick, sick
I'm not a victim I'm only a captive
Tied down by a world of distraction
Break me
Break my back and watch me fall
Underneath
Watch as the world condemns me

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
