Autopilot
from The Petrifying Vacuum by Caved
lyrics
All systems loaded
Operation ready
But the driver can't be reached
Hazardous conditions require redesign
Control decentralised
And on it goes and goes, forward with no end
Yet sadly never knows what it's like to live
Autopilot
Winding through the world
Protected
Unaffected
But never connected
A critical issue to normal function
The host is lost within
Robotic movements and blank decisions
An uncanny illusion
Ought to try and roll back to a build
More collected and effective with true conscious directive
Can you see
Someone's inside, a look in the eyes
Do you feel
Something's not right, has this one survived
I can see to the outside, I'm still alive
Tried to flee, thought I could hide now I'm stuck inside
Locked within, this shell I once commanded
Can only observe, as it leaves me empty handed
And on it goes, dead shadow, zombie apparatus
Sadly I'm here, haven't disappeared, the tightening hold traumatic
Acted in fear, tried to run from being present
Guess you can't come back, once you've gone too long suspended
Autopilot winding through the world
Protected, unaffected, but never connected
Autopilot, I'm stuck in myself
Wish I could return because I'm trapped in living hell
Operation ready
But the driver can't be reached
Hazardous conditions require redesign
Control decentralised
And on it goes and goes, forward with no end
Yet sadly never knows what it's like to live
Autopilot
Winding through the world
Protected
Unaffected
But never connected
A critical issue to normal function
The host is lost within
Robotic movements and blank decisions
An uncanny illusion
Ought to try and roll back to a build
More collected and effective with true conscious directive
Can you see
Someone's inside, a look in the eyes
Do you feel
Something's not right, has this one survived
I can see to the outside, I'm still alive
Tried to flee, thought I could hide now I'm stuck inside
Locked within, this shell I once commanded
Can only observe, as it leaves me empty handed
And on it goes, dead shadow, zombie apparatus
Sadly I'm here, haven't disappeared, the tightening hold traumatic
Acted in fear, tried to run from being present
Guess you can't come back, once you've gone too long suspended
Autopilot winding through the world
Protected, unaffected, but never connected
Autopilot, I'm stuck in myself
Wish I could return because I'm trapped in living hell

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

A ridiculous consistency, a chaotic technicality, a tongue in cheek insanity, these two geniuses reliably distort your reality.

Lurkers in the Capsule of Skull
by VEILBURNERsupported by 6 fans who also own “Autopilot”
It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas.
