III I II (THIRD EYE GEMINI)

by genCAB

supported by

Brett For me, GenCAB has come the closest to what PIG was doing with Sinsation back in the day. Its a dark and stressed out place and yet pop elements emerge. The audio contrasts on this album are candy to my ears. Favorite track: Siren Song.

_noech A glorious recapitulation of "II transMuter". Better in almost every way, which is truly a feat given how much I loved the original. Favorite track: Perish The Thought.

Sadismancer As always, hard to pick a favourite track aaggh. Favorite track: Of Love and Death.

this isn't a question of etiquette it's only a statement of relevance to steal the embrace of a tourniquet I'll need to undress it and see the flesh I want all you people to understand to feel the betrayal of another man exploring the dark if you think you can examine the way it'll force you to pray sometimes these walls will close right in absorb the color from the waste sell all the flavor I can taste give us this day our daily bread already drunk on wine instead might feel better when I'm fed it came from the south for a friend of mine we needed her teeth to identify the reason she feels such an appetite revealing a beast like a parasite can't help I'm addicted to novacaine it's taking my soul to another plain controlling the narrative not the pain remaining a need or a longing to feed implies we'll pause before we begin stare at the sun our only threat comes so easy when it's spread we watch the birds circle our heads built up an appetite for death might feel better when they're fed so legit I can't commit the broken sentence I submit comes apart just like a threat the seasoning in all the sweat all the flesh you can absorb a piece of meat that I adore all the squeezing you can get I'm teasing like a tourniquet and now I fear we've reached the end tried to remember to forget oh lord the rumors that we've spread somethings can never be unsaid life feels better when you're dead our lives are better when we're dead

skies open, raining again today I'm hoping, I'm wishing but I won't pray all wet soaking it up I can take a lot of pain but enough is enough inside, trapped myself my god I didn't think that this could happen to someone else six hits, loving it rough but no one ever knows if you cover it up and you fall down, don't make a sound lights out, I don't know what you're talking about this time I've lost tonight but tomorrow's the chance to make it right all of the scenery is strange gone a year I'll face the change there is nowhere left for me I let it be my mind is going blank and I can't recall a reason or a soul that I should thank new world I won't embrace a dimension that's preventing me from keeping the pace slowed down you'll grab the knife and dissect the little decency installed within my life another answer that I can't place you may forget my body but not my face I know I'm a disgrace there is no peace until I die all of the scenery is strange gone a year I'll face the change there is nowhere left for me I let it be every destiny turns black in the end we'll face that fact my future's gray and I can't see so let it be my mind is going blank, there is no one to thank dissect what's left of me, but you won't let me

understand that I went backwards falling over going home but moving forward as I spoke I thought you understood the consequences diversion from the earth a newer version of my birth deserving every moment I said this time I meant it I need to stop this, it's all a mistake I said I'd do it, whatever it takes this time I'll keep every promise I make take a step backwards and give me the strength give up my life and rewind it tonight so sudden but safe led to the light betray my stay because here I'm ok there's nothing really left for me anyway give up my life and rewind it in white no tunnels to take me to sleep tonight betray my stay cause the answers reveal themselves to live happily after repeat the sequences, I don't know what this means cause all i see between us is me saying separate the fake reflections the same, it's all the same my name my clothes my everything again I'm left here thinking that I thought I could see it now I'm fading falling in cascades I feel safer when I'm translucent and I'm phasing, changing different shades I'm so lucid when I'm not moving give up my life and rewind it tonight so sudden but safe led to the light betray my stay because here I'm ok there's nothing really left for me anyway give up my life and rewind it in white no tunnels to take me to sleep tonight betray my stay cause the answers reveal themselves to live happily after I need to stop this, it's all a mistake I said I'd do it, whatever it takes pull the trigger cause everything's fake pull the trigger and everything breaks give up my life and rewind it tonight so sudden but safe led to the light betray my stay because here I'm ok there's nothing really left for me anyway give up my life and rewind it in white no tunnels to take me to sleep tonight betray my stay because here I'm ok there's nothing really left for me anyway

once upon a time you could read my mind and dictate my life all ahead of time teach me once again everything so wrong sing a siren song just to string me along when I start to believe you can help get lost in myself and lose sight of just how I can't further relate no I can't, it's impossible I can't help but feel slightly betrayed that something you said could take me so far away despite all the strength that it takes to not medicate, I'm losing my faith again all I know is that I'm not the same I lose all the weight and safely sink home again despite all the strength that it takes I stay awake to witness my day as it breaks caged in ribs and rhymes I can fake the joy and I guess sometimes I prefer the void I swear somewhere deep within that hole lies a filthy heart that once was a soul a heart that once was a soul say you don't own me cause you've lost control I can't help but feel slightly betrayed that something you said could take me so far away despite all the strength that it takes to not medicate, I'm losing my faith again all I know is that I'm not the same I lose all the weight and safely sink home again despite all the strength that it takes I stay awake to witness my day as it breaks can I, will I ever fade away tonight I'll try, guess I'm here to stay can't die inside of a memory can you help me please?

I try to shrink to lengths at which my arms can reach I'll need another way, occasional apologies and when I go to hell they'll try to sell me all my dreams just a testament, the origin of obscenity and I'm designed, defined by only everything create another way to beg you for my amnesty as I'm confined, dispersing my anxiety know when we step outside you'll always see the worst of me I guarantee, the worst of me get to know the first disease
7.	Of Love and Death 05:17	lyrics	buy track
pretend, just let me sleep again I'm losing confidence with consciousness I need to begin I don't know why but just look under my eyes through the REM into a dream where I can save you again and I feel so cursed with this long life because I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die I close my eyes just to kill some time escape eternity and exit anywhere that I like and the screams might seem like they're coming from someplace inside I hide within my body alive when I die don't let them bury me, I'll never survive just leave a trace of me as debris to leave my mark on this place in case I still can't see I lied when I said I never try when I die don't let them bury me, I'll never survive set free, now I'm just by myself there's no use for good health when I'm trapped here without you I swell like an ocean inside when you died you couldn't stop me from, you couldn't stop me in time I throw my fist deep within the beach but the heart of the earth is too far out of reach tearing graves in the sand in the shape of my veins I lay down as I drown while the blood comes in waves and the screams might seem like they're coming from someplace inside I hide within my body alive when I die don't let them bury me, I'll never survive just leave a trace of me as debris to leave my mark on this place in case I still can't see I lied when I said I never tried when I die don't let them bury me, I'll never survive

delete my education it dies in waves of code naive infatuation I need I feed I grow this time it ends abruptly, one nation rule the clock three seconds start the countdown it's all coming down, tick tick tock remix our words with fire, they all still sound the same the glow makes you perspire but you'll never know our names the empty eats the canvas, the walls begin to rot an off white tragedy while a revolution's about to start don't try to tell me that I'm doing this right while I'm living my life like it wasn't really meant for me I'm burning fast upon entry here being so sincere when I say the air is so hard to breath they wanna follow you in nursery rhymes so we can freeze all time and go to sleep when you say it's alright start to breathe when the oxygen leaves and you can't conceive of what one thought really does to your mind you're chanting death to me but I'm so out of touch all trapped in apathy, assumed I knew too much and protest seems like action, it all goes much too fast a delayed reaction, a modest greeting much too crass to chain a reaction a poem goes in motion once sparked by desire it ends in explosion I can't understand why our world is so silent in fits of expression our passion turns violent don't try to tell me that I'm doing this right while I'm living my life like it wasn't really meant for me I'm burning fast upon entry here being so sincere when I say the air is so hard to breath they wanna follow you in nursery rhymes so we can freeze all time and go to sleep when you say it's alright start to breathe when the oxygen leaves and you can't conceive of what one thought really does to your mind

when the left eye is blind leave my logic behind and I just can't unwind what I see in my mind holding onto a thought I could just recreate I believe you could teach me to not dilate ask myself to stop myself I've tried so hard for no one else I've tried so hard to be what you don't want me to be wrong answer so divine I could love you right inside of this rhyme I guess by now you see that I'm my own worst enemy no more lies, cursed now the right can not see what you want me to be cause ideas aren't answers, they're just a disease full of toxins the insects are failing to take in an image of you that's so wrong, stay away stay away ask myself to stop myself pull my heart off my sleeve, put it into my mouth I tried to stop the beat but it just started to bleed wrong rhythm run so fast never try to learn your lesson when you channel the past I know by now you see that I have no real history in every way I retained your grace I tried at least to salvage what I couldn't replace focus on you, I'm too weak to play a slave unto the speed at which my vision relays and every day make the same mistake accept that I'm the accident expecting to break I set it up I deserve your worst I blame myself cause this must be a curse with my ear to the ground I'm recording the sound of the movement of you cause the nightmare is true never knew what I had til the moment it changed it got lost in amazement in mazes of rain ask myself to stop myself I couldn't let go and I couldn't let it out I tried to change your mind but then you started to die transforming gemini I know you have to adapt if you wanna survive I wish we could relate in a more comfortable place in every way I retained your grace I tried at least to salvage what I couldn't replace focus on you, I'm too weak to play a slave unto the speed at which my vision relays and every day make the same mistake accept that I'm the accident expecting to break I set it up I deserve your worst it wasn't your fault, it was only a curse

don't wait up for me, I can't think straight this time please don't freeze just run from focus til I can't see why am I the one resenting everyone I love don't wanna fake another smile don't ever want to see you move on why is it everything is all the same even through all the fame I stand beside myself inside of a joke even when I admit to take the blame and tarnish my own name the guilt inside me causes myself to choke all these dreams in me achieved but still I don't feel complete all alone somehow this time there's nothing stopping me now I'll reach my arms outside the window catching any breath I can (I'll need the strength to lie about my perfect promised land) these words embodying them all as herds of dolls before the fall (caked up in makeup tracing circles in the sky until I call) coming to my senses, losing all I never had I'm burning each and every photograph to keep from looking bad saving faces I'd forgotten save my own face, no exception frame them safely, fake a smile and say goodbye to my reflection why is it everything is all the same even through all the fame I stand beside myself inside of a joke even when I admit to take the blame and tarnish my own name the guilt inside me causes myself to choke

about

Since reforming genCAB in 2020, David Dutton has hit the ground running. "II transMuter" was released in 2008 and considered ahead of it's time structurely, blending elements from EBM and synthpop into song arrangements suited for aggressive rock .

After a long lay off they returned in 2022 with the full length LP "Thoughts Beyond Words", as well as the genre bending EP "Everything You See Is Mine". That year they also toured with Aesthetic Perfection (with which whom both David and drummer Tim Van Horn played live with for years) across the US.

genCAB signed with Metropolis Records in 2023 and released the LP "Signature Flaws". The album was a meditation on one’s own demise, and introduced elements of shoegaze and post hardcore to the already densely amalgamated songs, and thus becoming something new unto itself.

Now, in 2024, genCAB are releasing "THIRD EYE GEMINI" (III I II), half a modern day update to the best material on their first release, as well as new tracks inspired from re-recording those past sessions. The update to their sound was already apparent via the rework they had released for "Perish The Thought", and now everything else is also turned up to 11. In full control of the production, this album remains faithful to the feel of the original, although completely restructured from the ground up, and sung with more confidence and conviction from Dutton. The album remains raw and as fresh as it was when this material was first privately shared to the world more than 16 years ago.
