Retina- itanimulli-2012

Music- Retina
Drums written and performed by: Navene Koperweis and edited by :Dustin Miller and Retina
Lyrics written and vocals performed by Dustin Miller

This is an early draft/single from the full length album soon to come. This album has been delayed by lineup changes and I recently took over vocal duties for the record. Navene is in no way a part of the band or affiliated with the band other than having session drummed on the record.

The lyrics are very personal to me and I hope you will all take the time to read them.

Retina- itanimulli

the plaguing of ones peace of mind
an outrage, an outcry
is being withheld from your sight

make me adept at defeating my masters
who sell us this debt to wear
as chains

make no mistakes who deceives you
perverted our words
we're accustom to not question
these things are eating us away
fog of a civilization
clouded by judgement
taught to be estranged

from who you are
thou shall not parrot
unless thy covet
fill my heart with sin
I no longer recognize who I am

the nature of this beast
is unforgiving to inequalities
the children of our abomination
are being indoctrinated
trading their love for each other in
for a final diversion
you will be met
with opposition
but we must wake them up
we must set them free

the times we once imagined
are at our door
beating it in
asking you to turn away
know this trick will come back to haunt you
in pursuit of the absolute
truth we find our self

learn deception
of the tool
it wont make your life any easier
to live for money is to pit against our brother
we'll find one another
while at the depths
of isolation
revealing an ultimate purpose
to know yourself is
to save yourself
we activate the others

isolation
revealing an ultimate purpose
to know yourself is
to save yourself
we activate

in darkness we welcome the light back in
we've forgot our very nature
through times of sorrow and isolation
we find our enemy
is our self
and we break

if you looked down and saw the chains
collapse inside our heads
it makes alive
indoctrinated by the ways
the things we've taught ourselves
to make a lie
and I could only reach for more
I could only reach for more and I opened up that door

there's a scratching in our mind
you can't ignore it forever
you know that nothings ever right
observing this behavior
and then you open up your eyes

now see your soul staring back at you
eye to eye it still wants more
I remember
listen to intuition
it is buried in the depths of the soul

all I wanted to do was take the pain away
