don't look at me
symmetry find me first
imperfect stain
the standard of beauty
I relent it all should belong to me
you swear I'm selfish
I'm just ambitious
overly critical
not nearly enough
I would trade my life
if I could just be so much more in the ground
flesh stripped away
fat trimmed from the vessel
blemishes burned from the flesh
the highest of honors
belongs to me
I thought I told you
not to look at me
not till I am perfect
will these scars fade
remnants of my old flesh still resurface
years of longing now content
years of longing still I want more
sleep doesn't belong to me
until I can wear your skin
it always comes back
memories flood into my head
ugly, I don't want to be
ugly, I don't want them to see
don't look at me
I don't want to be remembered in ugly skin
immortalized in false porcelain
Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
I'm hearing the purported Norma Jean influence with these chaotic, slidey riffs and distorted gang vocals. But Coarse are no clone either. The way that the vocals sometimes dip into into a death register draw parallels to newer acts like Vein, Code Orange, and Wolf King. It's just a great mixture of everything I love about hardcore, past and present.

Fusing ’90s metalcore, ’00s vaporwave, and ’20s cybergrind, the Texans' debut showcases an unprecedented unholy trinity. Bandcamp New & Notable May 17, 2023
This is a grindtastic release, it's a blistering riffy beast which believe it or not is indeed very catchy. Cara Neir have to make more albums like this, ITS A MUST!! Darknight
