about
The Chemistress, an ancient revealer of fortunes, is known to use her dark mastery of alchemy to see into the past, present and future, in her world and through all intersecting dimensions. Those who make the pilgrimage may take counsel from her and access the spirits with whom she communicates. Pilgrims in need of medicine and cures for body and soul, have found clues in the legends surrounding the Chemistress, but only she has the power to reveal and alter, as she applies her gifts across the infinity of parallel realities. But know this: Everything comes with a cost.
lyrics
Paradigm enhancement
Pendulum it rings
Looking for an answer as the splinter sore just breathes
Macabre get out
Levitating asylum grieving heavy gout
Festering rivers
Worn of disease
Hydra in the sewer, there’s contagious bolide breach
Every word it lacks
Seventeen years of the nails scrapping down this back
Lower the rope
Drain your arms again
There’s broken shards
Of oxygen
Have you ever had to chew off your finger prints
Sclerae viewing contention hypocrites
Arsonist of reason future tellers voice runs quiet
Backbone the day the message was sentenced Liar
Vomiting tradition
Everything we know
Speaking as this tongue will try and escape my skull
Open your veins
Syphon off the toll
(Walk a mile in your scalp foreclosure at the exit store)
Remove every eyelash
Tattoos they are reborn
Virtues that have services
The Chemistress reform
Everything is vinegar
Static scarab sharp exhale contorting and implore
Lower the rope
Drain your arms again
There’s broken shards
Of oxygen
Have you ever had to chew off your finger prints
Sclerae viewing contention hypocrites
Arsonist of reason future tellers voice runs quiet
Backbone the day the message was sentenced Liar
Virtues that have services, grow these tattered sacred wounds
Black list circuits grasp the very deepest depth of womb
Enigmatic vulture spawning sprinted toward the floor
Lobotomies the ashes drift through orchid pocket sewers
Eyes, it comes in waves
Eyes, quarantine waves
Eyes, it comes in waves
