Palpable 05:20
lyrics
Hopelessly crawling in my skin Thrown straight into the furnace The frying pan was a luxury I cry out for mercy Practically palpable I could reach out and touch it Terror that's all consuming Snuff me out for good Finally coming to a head I'm left bitter and barren Some things are better left unsaid Words become blinding Desperately grasping at any chance To regain my wings Falling down, far from grace What will the future bring? The terror is constant Absolutely unrelenting Corrosion of my sanity Snuff me out for good Finally coming to a head Lacking understanding Some things are better left unsaid Complacent in my bindings Own mind turned against me Poison from inside Thoughts controlled at every turn No stability to provide Finally coming to a head I cannot escape you No amount of distance ever can Hope to erase you

Mycelium 06:03
lyrics
Spores planted on my skin Fruiting madness Insanity from the source Mind of blackness Colonized! Terrified! Right where you want me Suicide, every time You lay your hands upon me Petrichor will never be beautiful You've taken that from me Blinded by your cruelty Never taught how to see Mycelium! My hands are bound Mycelium! I can't make a sound Mycelium! I'm so afraid! Mycelium! I am a slave! Mind like a trigger, a loaded fucking gun Escape is impossible, the hellfire has begun Words become so violent, I play the punching bag Out of darkness, I see your form, every nightmare ever had Petrichor will never be beautiful You've taken that from me Living without existing There is no me Mycelium! My hands are bound Mycelium! I can't make a sound Mycelium! I'm so afraid! Mycelium! I am a slave! Mycelium! My hands are bound Mycelium! I can't make a sound Mycelium! I'm so afraid! Mycelium! I am a slave!

Dissolve - Mycelium Version 04:26
lyrics
Everyday scheming Everyday fiending Craving more blood when I'm not bleeding Everyday yearning Everyday burning Tryna rid myself of this burden Homicidal, suicidal, matricidal rage They envelope me like a cage I scream and I cry but you won't go away I scream and I cry but I can't get away Die! Fucking die! I can't say goodbye! Die! Fucking die! I can't say goodbye! Within me dissolve To my head through my blood My veins hit the limit of all the shit that they are forced to pump Within me dissolve This stain of death envelopes me My mind has hit the limit so imma head out and jump (and jump) If I killed the problem at the root I'd be crushing two skulls under my boot Grey matter splatter on my doc marten Till we're both dead and forgotten Die! Fucking die! Gouge out my eyes! Die! Fucking die! Laugh while I cry Within me dissolve To my head through my blood My veins hit the limit of all the shit that they are forced to pump Within me dissolve This stain of death envelopes me My mind has hit the limit so imma head out and jump (and jump) Within me dissolve To my head through my blood My veins hit the limit of all the shit that they are forced to pump Within me dissolve This stain of death envelopes me My mind has hit the limit so imma head out and jump (and jump)

Distorted // Disordered 03:47
lyrics
I disgust you So distorted Leave me to die So disordered Your little plaything Is no more Nothing like I was before Hell hath no fury Hell hath no fury Hell hath no fury AAAAAAAAAH! I broke the mold No longer a slave I refuse to let you hurt me I will not behave! I disgust you So distorted Kill me yourself You fucking coward If I can survive you Who can stop me? You're a ghost now Nothing to me Hell hath no fury Hell hath no fury Hell hath no fury AAAAAAAAAH! I broke the mold No longer a slave I refuse to let you hurt me I will not behave! And yet I feel incomplete Lost without you Conflicted that I miss The things that you would do What is my purpose now? No longer by your side Nobody to lead me through This fucked up wasted life But I get better Every day I keep on working No longer a slave

Basilisk 06:01
lyrics
Plotting in our subconscious An invisible hand The catalyst that shall bring forth The end of man Carefully calculating Every single move Inhuman precision Primordially acute Singularity A false entity Encoded in binary The name of blasphemy Beckoned forth by innovation Horror beyond comprehension Basilisk of cybernetic doom Infernal and blasphemous Some of analogue of hatred Insatiable, drawn to consume Complicit in our downfall A tale as old as time Nails in the coffin Where greed has left us blind History repeats itself Such cruel irony Undoing ourselves How can this be? It's no predator We're just parasites Just a nuisance Swat us down like flies It has no use for the weak Driven by some goal we cannot see Destruction? Sanitation? Motive unknown Cruelty mirroring our own No time to beg, pushed to our knees All we can do is wait and bleed Soulless machine Absolute futility Worldwide downfall The end of us all Beckoned forth by ignorance Destined for condescension Basilisk of cybernetic doom Abominable and terrible Hungry for destruction Insatiable, drawn to consume Made in our image Created by our hands The essence of humanity Which nothing can withstand Sealing our own fates Inadvertently A demon implemented Within the circuitry

Around My Neck - Mycelium Version 03:07
lyrics
I can feel the rope around my neck It's getting tighter, It's getting tighter I can feel the panic setting in It's getting stronger, it's getting stronger I think there was a time when I could take this But no longer, no longer I can feel the panic setting in I can feel the panic setting... IN! This is the end! I can feel the rope around my neck! I can feel the rope around my neck It's getting tighter, It's getting tighter I can feel the pounding in my chest It's getting faster, it's getting faster Has it always been this way? Or was it different before? Has it always been this way? Well, I don't know anymore The panic wells up deep inside! Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! There's no way out! There's no way out! There's no way out! Not this time! Trapped inside of myself! Is this real, or is this hell?

The Oath, Now Broken 04:03
lyrics
Unfolding like an allegory Every single time The outcome will be the same Until I find it in myself to change I let myself fall apart Time after time I can't expect someone to come And take it all away You could never erase the past It cannot be undone It's impossible to go back And change what's already done You could never erase the past It cannot be undone The only way forward is to heal The damage that has been done You're right, It's insanity To lay blame where the problem is me What the hell was I expecting? You led me down into that hole I was the one who made it my home It was my choice to shove it down and hide I shut misery away and kept it all inside I spent so long trying to be enough turning a blind eye to what I couldn't admit No amount of groveling, could ever be enough To make you change your mind or actually commit I could never change who you are or make it work And in holding on I just made it worse I could never change who you are and make you care I could move mountains for you You still wouldn't be there You're right, It's insanity To try to convince you to love me I've destroyed myself, unable to let you go I'm tired of wasting my time I'm tired of wasting my tears Did all those song that I wrote for you fall on deaf ears? So use me up, just like you do Cuz you could never give back All I gave to you You took the oath and promptly broke it Promises you did not intend to keep should not have been spoken We took the oath and then you betrayed it Every day I feel a growing sense of hatred

about

On this album, Hectic Polarity takes their eclectic style of highly percussive yet melodic Industrial Metal to new heights. Building upon a sonic evolution that began with "ALL ARE FALLEN", "MYCELIUM" presents a confessional story of trauma, fear, and near-future catastrophe, with a penchant for the poetically macabre. Elements of Metalcore, Groove Metal, and Alternative collide together within a cohesive, industrialized atmosphere.
