about

A track we wrote while piecing together the material for Deviate, that didn't quite make the cut. Subconscious Façade was sort of stepping stone between our first EP and the full length that we released to tide everyone over and give you a taste of how our sound was evolving. The song is written from the perspective of those who unknowingly dismiss the flaws in themselves and the world around them in favor of comfort and security, and takes on a facetious tone at times, lyrically and musically.

lyrics

Why rise above when you can succumb to the standard?
Don't let the truth be told
Nourished with disease
Corrupt the means that we seize
Maintain the place we hold

Trapped in this mind with no regret
A lifeless frame, a silhouette
Create and destroy as you please
impose selective limitations
Bring progression to its knees

Pretend Subjective values have meaning

Disregard, disengage
As long as you're entertained
No need to breach the subconscious façade
Together, in comfort, on this side we remain

Systemic suffering
An insignificant price to pay
The voiceless condemned by our choices
Let us proceed, resigned and hopeless

You can't expect reality
To bend to your abhorrent standards
When your mind can't be swayed
by the world around you

Why rise above when you can succumb to the standard?
Don't let the truth be told
Nourished with disease
Corrupt the means that we seize
Maintain the place we hold

In comfort we remain
Suppress your will to change
