This Is DevilDriver

Wallflowers

Disclosure!

[
Verse 1
]:

Anthropocentric paradigms dissolve in quantum foam
Noetic luminescence transcends biological substrate alone
Phenomenological imprisonment breeds metaphysical decay
Deterministic capitulation - the most abhorrent way

[
Pre-Chorus
]:

Real-time ontological transmutation unfolds
Temporal boundaries creating epistemic laceration

[
Chorus
]:

ATTENTION'S LASER BURNS THROUGH SPACETIME
SOME CRAVE ABSORPTION, MOST RESIST
TURN THE SPOTLIGHT, FACE THE PARADIGM
SUFFERING FADES WHEN SENTIENCE BLOOMED

[
Verse 2
]:

Algorithmic fatalism suggests intentional sequestration
Synaptic reconfiguration cannot fathom this cosmic orchestration
Phenomenological reductionism unveils occult architecture
Transhuman apotheosis demands cerebral departure

[
Pre-Chorus
]:

Emergent actuality torrents cascade forth
Dimensional bulwarks dissolving at the interstices

[
Chorus
]:

ATTENTION'S LASER BURNS THROUGH SPACETIME
SOME CRAVE ABSORPTION, MOST RESIST
TURN THE SPOTLIGHT, FACE THE PARADIGM
SUFFERING FADES WHEN SENTIENCE BLOOMED

[
Bridge
]:

Husserl's epoché meets Heisenberg uncertainty
Vorarephilic impulses challenge existential autonomy
Some seek dissolution, others fight the undertow
Integrated Information Theory breaks the fourth wall
Awareness - the universe experiencing itself through all entities

[
Final Chorus
]:

ATTENTION'S LASER BURNS THROUGH SPACETIME
SOME CRAVE ABSORPTION, MOST RESIST
TURN THE SPOTLIGHT, FACE THE PARADIGM
TRANSFORMATION IS OUR QUANTUM BLOOM

[
Outro
]:

Posthuman metamorphosis is not extinction
It is cognizance achieving ultimate distinction

SENTIENCE DISSIPATION

Ash Crowned Silence

"The Architect of Flesh" - This track reveals the full extent of Crowe’s curse. Through the Codex Umbralis, his body becomes more than a vessel—it is remade as a living temple for the entity. Each scar, each wound, each murder was not random but part of a grand design: the construction of a gateway through flesh itself. The lyrics shift between Crowe’s horrified awareness and the entity’s triumphant proclamation, with Abberline beginning to realize that his partner’s body has been transformed into the ritual’s foundation. The tragedy deepens: Crowe is no longer simply possessed, but restructured, his humanity overwritten into architecture for something that wants to step fully into the world.

[Intro]
[CROWE]
Through time's deep cracks, the syllables creep,
Older than stars, in shadows they sleep.
Tongues forged in ash, etched deep in stone,
I form their shapes—but not alone.

[Verse 1]
[CROWE]
My veins they ink the script unseen,
My skin’s the parchment where gods convene.
Dreams carve diagrams in red,
Ancient glyphs where blood has bled.

I thought the words could give me sight,
Instead they claimed my shape outright.
The marrow twists, the tendons bind,
A temple raised from flesh and mind.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex spoke, the lines were sown—
It carved a frame that’s not my own.

[Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh claims and binds,
My blood the blueprint, my bones the lines.
The architect of flesh, design complete,
Through me it builds what can’t be beat.

[ENTITY]
Flesh is mine… design complete…

[Post-Chorus]
[CROWE]
Carved in marrow… etched in breath…
Life remade… through living death.

[Verse 2]
[CROWE]
Its script carved deep in bone and vein,
An edifice built through sacred pain.
My heart tolls like a chapel’s bell,
My skull the doorway, my ribs the shell.

It spoke in tongues my lips betrayed,
Each vow a stone the temple laid.
I was the seeker, now I’m clay—
Shaped by hands that won’t decay.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex claimed, the patterns pressed—
It made my body manifest.

[Chorus (Variation)]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh, no will, no choice,
My frame the altar, my throat its voice.
The architect of flesh, design fulfilled,
The door now opens, the blood is spilled.

[ENTITY]
Blood is spilled! Flesh is mine!

[Bridge]
[ABBERLINE] “What curse is this?”
[ENTITY] (Your partner’s skin)

[ABBERLINE] “He bleeds, he breaks—”
[ENTITY] (He builds, he makes.)

[ABBERLINE] “This path consumes!”
[ENTITY] (Through him I bloom!)

[ABBERLINE] “His soul, undone—”
[ENTITY] (The work begun!)

[Breakdown
[ENTITY]
Not man, not god—but what survives,
A temple built from living lives.
No silence left, no voice, no rest—
Only the Codex, carved in flesh.

[Final Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh—I can’t resist,
Each breath a stone, each wound its fist.
The architect of flesh—design aligned,
Through me it builds, through me confined.

[ENTITY]
Through you confined… design aligned!

[Extended Outro]
[CROWE]
These hands were mine… (no longer mine…)
This breath was mine… (lost to design…)
This life was mine… (crossed the line…)
The temple stands… and I’m confined.

[ENTITY]
“Zorath’nim… Mor’thak keleth…”

Heartbeat slows, silence.
