Vice Grips

from CONvol.UTION by Arcane-Gel

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Product:
    For the first time ever, the entire CONvolUTION series is available, chronologically, as one and on a bygone format (CD)... For all of your collectable needs. This project has been one of passion, discovery and growth... We welcome you to join us on this incredible journey.

    Logistical and economical:
    This CD edition is limited and is highly unlikely to be reproduced, certainly in its current form and design.

    Our paramount focus for this release, is making this CD accessible for our fans. With this in mind we are well aware that many of our listeners are from overseas, so have made a conscious effort to ensure those further afield are not priced out of this opportunity due to heavy shipping costs. Subsequently, the shipping prices allocated are at the cheapest option available and the product itself has been priced relatively low. So please be patient with our delivery times/methods as we are new to the movement of physical products and in turn expect to adapt and potentially alter shipping costs as we learn.

    More positive side note:
    Just let us know if you'd prefer a signed copy of the CD and we will ensure to put pen to cover prior to shipment. (Preferably via direct or private message either here or over at our twitter/X account @ArcaneGel_4real)

    Thank you for allowing our art a place to thrive and find new meaning.

lyrics

A faster food, a slower death
Additives subtract until the souls bereft

Left to hunt and gather where it’s mass produced
Convenience requires that we have to loose

Choose lust just pretend its love
The idea alone, is a deadly drug

Choose one religion dismiss the rest
Repeat cycle, sin, repent, then confess

Wi-fi connects us to a world shrunk
Pulls us further apart, snap, curl up

Shut the door scramble communion
Simulate a life, from the room you live

Views and ticks hits and trends
In the land of the smartphone living dead

Crave likes and mentions a vain acceptance
Gratified by a crazed faceless assemblage


The chasm surrounds us
Mimics our calling
A tandem of cowards
Willing to fall in
The chasm has found us
And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks
I drown
Chains, links
Wrapped ‘round
Ship sinks
I drown
Bewitched
Dumbfound


The light shines the wheels spins
Need the roll of a dice just to feel things

Buying anything to fill an empty void
Rent attention with intentions of expensive noise

Poised, in a fashion curd
Vacant logos brand us to the cattle herd

Here’s your value worth, a wearied pot
Sound the soirée, Reaper in your earshot

Best years lost, forever hate your age
Yearn the surgeon’s knife, desecrate your face

It’s a rat race, no finish line
Pace is trivial, keep within the lines

Go against design become binary code
Ones and Ohs stuck in lines and rows

Until we’re devoid, obsoleted
Enslaved to ploys of our choice achievement

The chasm surrounds us
Mimics our calling
A tandem of cowards
Willing to fall in
The chasm has found us
And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks
I drown
Chains, links
Wrapped ‘round
Ship sinks
I drown
Bewitched
Dumbfound


Liquor rush anything to live it up
Relinquish inhibitions of this British blush

Riddled drunk, comfortable in this slump
Life is easier when you don’t give a

Popping party drugs, give the liver rest
Dancing on your grave while you dig that trench

Inhale a little death exhale a bitter stress
Cigarette smoke silhouettes a bigger mess

Inward breathe
In those weeds a jest, mischief and fret

Prescription pills to take away your ills
Tethered to that heal to test your will

Under pressure chill float in opiates
So when life is real you’ll never notice it

Open wrists sick of that gruelling numb
Cut until you feel that the rule of thumb

The chasm surrounds us
Mimics our calling
A tandem of cowards
Willing to fall in
The chasm has found us
And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks
I drown
Chains, links
Wrapped ‘round
Ship sinks
I drown
Bewitched
Dumbfound
