The Skin I Live In
03:27
|

|
Drifting away on a
Crudely shaped ship on the
Turbulent seas of a
Chaotic mind in a...
...useless flesh prison, a sanctum of bones
Misshapen temple; unruly, unhoned
The blood that courses through veins has now been leaked
They’re split at the seams
Fucked mental deceit
The mind now rejects the body it bears
Seeking an answer to which it can tear
A hole through the skull and into a dream
A permanent escape
A permanent end
Break me from these chains of ice
End it all
I see no beauty
I only see darkness
The tunnel is closing
I’m drowning
Fuck!

Subconscious Cruelty
02:11
|
|||
|
My mind works against me
Ripping itself open
Crippling me against myself
It needs to be stopped
I just want to live
My mind works against me
Ripping my body open
My thoughts leak out
Spilled
Stained
Ruined

Philosophy of a Knife
04:46
|

|
Traced upon tender flesh
The lines will soon sink
Into scratches
Soon into slices
Behold!
The beauty in symmetry
Behold!
The beauty in chaos
Behold!
The scars of blighted thought

Where the Dead Go to Die
04:21
|
|||
|
I wish to die alone
Secluded in the deep of the woods
Privacy for my final act
Silence in the heat of the moment
All that’s left is to decide
Between my knife or a rope
The decision is simple
I conform to the shape of the trees
Instrument of symmetry
Fall into the floor
Useless acts of self-indulgence
Useless blade of ritual
The body calls for self-slaughter
No more hesitation
Commit to your suicide
Commit to eternal repose
The mind rejects itself
Humored by the hope of acceptance
If it can’t accept itself
Who else would?

Bellwethr Rochester, New York
Bellwethr is a one man band from Rochester, NY from artist and multi-instrumentalist Sam Block. Bellwethr has explored many
sounds and genres over the years, from depressive suicidal black metal to post black metal to shoegaze to ambient. Each release is different from the last, offering new sounds and ideas with the same style of writing.
My solo music is here, too.

Bath and its sister album Leaving Your Body Map got me into the world of progressive and avant-garde metal, and they remain my favorite albums of all time still.

Bathos [remaster 2010]
by Aarni
Fantastically weird doom/folk metal that helped inspire my self-titled EP.
