Here's your aching scene to sell
To your clientele
Left sprawled on the couch
With thoughts they cannot vouch
You cry, cry, cry
With static in your eyes
You sitcom baby
The rerun came on lately
Tune them out
Everyone's gotta learn somehow
So use that second face
To keep it all in its place
So poorly thought out
In the shadow of your doubts
As always, you descend
To a place you'll pretend
That the grass is always greener
Well now your just a little sinner
Tune them out
Everyone's gotta learn somehow
Oh the trouble you have in mind
You're such a sad sight
With a vile device
You'll sleep when your dead
Or once the buzzing leaves your head

Problem of Evil

Lights shout
Black out
Nothing to say that's new
Cut the slack
Skeptics laugh
They'll never chose
Lesser god
Of ink blots
Words left to save
Faith's chatter
Silver platter
Hope's in dismay
If it's there, there, there
Where's the holy dare
Lesson learned
You'll burn
'cause you didn't sink
Scorched earth
Harsh words
The choir sings
Of better days
A broken phrase
The same old things
Once shunned
Father, son
Go chase the ghost
Problem evil
There's no equal
Some boring show
If it's there, there, there
Where's the holy dare

Hands of fire keep the wind at bay
Threads of our poise rapidly start to fray
Down conquers up, night murders day
Fear your God; He laughs when you kneel to pray
And what is there left to do but wait
For the sky to rain drops of our fate?
And I will go down, with a smile on my face
Surrendering to the Universe's embrace
Waves of sin swallow hearts of gold
The media feasts on bodies not yet cold
Pillars of faith crumble down to man's feet
Four horses descend, patrolling the blood-stained streets
And what is there left to do but wait
For the sky to rain drops of our fate?
And I will go down with a smile on my face
Surrendering to the Universe's embrace
You turn to me then laugh and say
"The world came crumblin' down today"
If only I had your insight
The rich have fled the fleas have swarmed
Your head was lost my skin was torn
Pestilence has reign of the night
The curtains closed on their perfect scheme
They woke up from their lucid dream
Their dignity taking flight
If there's one thing that you should know
It's watch out for the ebb and flow
Of waters that have never seen light
Transubstantiation
The dust collects, the sun retired
Your faith misplaced, my hope expired
Iscariot won the fight
My ears abused, awake for days
This is the longest "passing phase"
That I should ever care to incite
The ropes untied, the frame collapsed
Trapping me with my haunting past
Doctrines losing their might
And I'll travel to the edge of Hell
That lovely place I know so well
I'm so fucking sick of being contrite
Transubstantiation

Subsistence

I took it like medicine
Blueprint sighs
Sang out heresies
To the strange sky
Left it on the table
The empty glass
Mummers obscenities
First to be last
Livid as a saint
With a devil up the sleeve
Street-lamp veins
Will halt my beliefs
A Lackluster scam
Skeptics sway
Halfhearted hymns.
Drunks ricochet
Escape the refrain
Avoid the reprieve
Poses instilled
Toy with the beast
Livid as a saint
With a devil up the sleeve
Street-lamp veins
Will halt my beliefs
I took it like medicine
Distorted rings truth
Abandoned faults
Entangled they ensue

Hands to The Light EP
by Phantom Caste
Moody, dark, propulsive indie electro-rock. Angular guitars and haunting synths swirl over machine-gun drumming and mortar-shot bass. Epic sonic structures framed over dance-y post-punk rhythms.
