Deep within the coffin
Of the Psychodox
A doppelganger screams
Because the lid is locked
Ripped the interior
Of its shallow grave
Screams as loud as it can
But it cannot be saved
You are listening to
A horrible disaster
Another episode
That no one fucking asked for
A long running joke
That never bites the dust
In the same old vein
Of general disgust
Another one?
It’s never gonna end, you see
Another one?
What the fuck is wrong with me
Another one?
Another one?
Ill Met By Moonlight
Hasn’t released a track
We made it through four
And we haven’t gone back
Don’t get me started on sharks
Swimming in scum
Their debut album’s
Never going to come
Out from the dirt
Of the Psychodox grave
Comes another soul
That’s just as depraved
Another project
Has been unboxed
In the moniker of
Altered Paradox
Another one?
It’s never gonna end, you see
Another one?
What the fuck is wrong with me
Another one?
Another one?

Eternal Contagion

The stories are true
It’s something that I love to hate
I’m building its tomb
So there’s no one it can violate
It never fucking ends
It just returns
You think you murdered it
But were you sure
You wanna burn it down
And let it bleed
You cannot win
You can’t be free
It lives under your skin
It’s buried deep within
It will never die
And it’ll ruin your life
When will it be done?
It’s a rhetorical question
Does it do this for fun?
It’s an eternal contagion
It never fucking ends
It just comes back
You think you murdered it
Forgot to double tap
You wanna burn it down
And let it bleed
You cannot win
You can’t be free
It lives under your skin
It’s buried deep within
It will never die
And it’ll ruin your life
It’s been digging down
For several years
It’s been eating away
And no one hears
It’s attached to your brain
And it fucks with your nerves
It’s unbearable pain
Is this what you deserve

Nightwalk

On a dark night
On a walk down the lane
The aura of evil
Had a life to claim
This ghost claimed another
This ghost claimed a soul
Buried them deep down
Inside of a hole in the earth
A feeling of haunting
Breezed by me
The visage disturbing
I was not meant to see
That night I heard
A scream in the air
As the lights flickered
The voice disappeared
This ghost claimed another
This ghost claimed a soul
Buried them deep down
Inside of a hole in the earth

Disdain
03:17
|
|

It’s been another day
The evidence is too bizarre
To contemplate and reflect on
As hours pass it’ll be gone
Returns even stronger
Lasts even longer
It buries its victims alive
Digs them up to repeat the ride
Twists your brain to
Dreaming of the end
No cliffhangers
Or indicating ends
Stays around for years
For its own gain
My best friend in the world
I call disdain
It’s been another day
The evidence is lingering
The bitter taste it leaves behind
Devastation of your mind
If you’re bored and need company
It’s always there with something
Another reminder of what you did
Brought back to life from where it hid

The Curse
05:44

Is this how it feels to die?
Cuz I’m losing light again
Victim of sleep deprivation
That seems to never end
I’m a ghost in every sense
And that’s something I can’t amend
The effigy is burning
And i feel my soul distend
(I can’t win)
And it can’t get worse
And I can’t reverse
It will never disperse
Forever stuck with this curse
My silence is deadly
But it’s not contagious
I’m waiting for my time
It’s disadvantageous
Leaving up a barrier
Of mania and disgust
I’m cleaning out my skull
I’m tired of eating dust
(I can’t win)
And it can’t get worse
And I can’t reverse
It will never disperse
Forever stuck with this curse
Expedite
The ending to the suffering
Miss my life
Insomniacs can never dream
Remember
The life before disparity
Broken dreams
And agony in everything
Fuck this curse
It’s gonna be the death of me
Shut my eyes
So I can feel serenity
Once more
I can’t be fixed
I can’t be, I can’t be

Murder Mystery Show

We brought you all here today
For the same reasons
One that remains undisclosed
For the season
Every single one of you
Is hiding something
Can your guilt be admitted
Or will you say nothing
There’s always gonna be
A scapegoat to choose
There’s always gonna be
Someone guaranteed to lose
There’s always gonna be
A visual of fear
There’s always gonna be
The death of an idea
The mystery within
Keeps pulling you in
Damned to a life where it never ends
Communication
This destruction
Leads to a wound that never mends
The blood is spilled
And someone has guilt
Silence leads to no resolve
Tearing away
Every day
Until the last of your mind dissolves
Who is the killer
Who is the killer
One of you has done the deed
And one’s an accomplice
Some of you have survivor’s guilt
And all could have stopped this
No one has a clear message
That they wanted to send
No one has an alibi
That adds up in the end
Everyone's a killer

Shut down everything
So you can feel serene
Even with the doors unlocked
Everything that comes in
Is like a mortal sin
Because you never go outside the box

Smoker

Broke the speed limit on every highway
Just so we could take you away
Through dumb drivers and pouring rain
To save the last one that remained
All those years without tears
Before realizing my fears
It all started coming down
I’ll never forget the sound
Hey smoker, where are you
Hey smoker, I can’t find you
Where oh where did you go
This house is not a home without you
Always the light in every space
Breaking silence to start a chase
More chill than anything you’d know
Following wherever you go
It was just another day
And my sky started to gray
The purest of souls
Left an empty hole
Hey smoker, where are you
Hey smoker, I can’t find you
Where oh where did you go
Please come home
Hey smoker, come find me
Hey smoker, stop this crying
It’s empty and alone
This house is not a home without you
I feel like I’m going insane
Is this what it’s like to feel true pain
You were the best friend I ever fucking had
And that’s why this song is so goddamn sad
Hey smoker, where are you
Hey smoker, I can’t find you
Where oh where did you go
Please come home
Hey smoker, I can’t reach you
Hey smoker, I miss you
I wish I had more time
I hate saying goodbye
Hey smoker
Hey smoker

Altered Paradox Cleveland, Ohio
An abandoned waste barrel of screechy whispered commentary and yowled “what the fuck-isms.”
