about

Created over the course of three months this new expedition into the world of sound and noise from Message To The Machine has become a more personal and intense journey. If you wish to delve into a world of self loathing, obsession and constant self doubt then please listen to this as loud as your ears can possibly tolerate.

Effigy: "a roughly made model of a person that is made in order to be damaged or destroyed as a protest."

Track Name: Reclaimher
sometimes i want to quit everything
she was the only thing keeping me going
i was safe
nothing seems to matter now
i know everything i do won't fix her

she has a disease
killing her
she thinks it's me
no one is helping

through her eyes she denies
with my touch she reclines
this is how i control
don't deny my effect on her
i don't think she knows
i don't think she feels
i don't think she even cares
that she always does this…

switch like a blade
turn me around
cut through the flesh
let me die here
switch like a blade
turn me around
cut through the flesh
let me die here

she tries her best
to look away
her eyes fixate
right onto me

reclaim her heart
it's all i want
this is not wrong
it is quite pure
i just want her
right at my side
i will reclaim
what is mine

switch like a blade
turn me around
cut through the flesh
let me die here
switch like a blade
turn me around
cut through the flesh
let me die here

how can she stand
right there in front of me
telling me
we were tragic
how can she smile
with that delight
i was so strong
she was nothing

she took every bit of me
ripped my limps right from me
torn me down forced me out
every fucking thing is dead
there is nothing left to kill
i am just an empty shell
no one seems to realise
what she did to me
she took every bit of me
ripped my limps right from me
torn me down forced me out
every fucking thing is dead
there is nothing left to kill
i am just an empty shell
no one seems to realise
what she did to me

reclaim her heart
it's all i want
this is not wrong
it is quite pure
i just want her
right at my side
i will reclaim
what is mine

reclaiming her it's all i want
this is not wrong it is quite pure
i just want her right at my side
i will reclaim what is mine

don't let this world spoil her intentions
i will focus all of my attention
this is my vow
just stay with me
we will be strong
we will destroy

she took every bit of me
ripped my limps right from me
torn me down forced me out
every fucking thing is dead
there is nothing left to kill
i am just an empty shell
no one seems to realise
what she did to me
she took every bit of me
ripped my limps right from me
torn me down forced me out
every fucking thing is dead
there is nothing left to kill
i am just an empty shell
no one seems to realise
what she did to me
Track Name: Demon Creeper
lost within this nightmare
all my choices are wrong
frost it starts to freeze over
all my movements are gone
too many words are running through my mind
too many demons are trying to hurt me

if i could just hold on a little tighter to you
maybe all my mistakes will go away from me
i need you here
all my demons are creeping

demon creeper lurking in the darkness
demon creeper trying to control

broken within my core
every breath i take here
is slowly killing me
i am fading away
too many words are running through my mind
too many demons are trying to hurt me

if i could just realise what these things
really are maybe i can help myself for once

can't you see my demons are creeping along my spine
i can not ignore them
they tell me awful words

demon creeper lurking in the darkness
demon creeper trying to control

all my demons have found my weakest point within myself
they poke and prod it make me do things i don't like
if i could just get away be with you some where else
maybe all of this will go away from me
Track Name: Screamer Number Four
how am i nothing? how am i so ignored?
how am i worthless? how am i nothing to anyone?

screaming in the corner
jaded eyes filled with horror
how can anyone ignore this?
how can anyone be so blind?

maybe this is how it is
maybe i'm just like this
maybe nothing means anything
maybe it's all shit

how can i be the one that you throw away
every single fucking day?
how can i be the one that you destroy?

if i scream loud enough will you hear the words that i say?
if i scream right into your face will you hear me?

maybe this is how it all is
maybe this is how the things that we think are right really work
no one seems to care…

how can i be the one that you throw away like nothing?
how can i be the one that you destroy so easily?

screaming in the corner
jaded eyes filled with horror
how can anyone ignore this?
how can anyone be so blind?

how am i nothing? how am i so ignored?
how am i worthless? how am i nothing to anyone?

how can i be the one that you throw away
every single fucking day?
how can i be the one that you destroy?

if i scream loud enough will you hear the words that i say?
if i scream right into your face will you hear me?

maybe this is how it all is
maybe this is how the things that we think are right really work
no one seems to care…

how can i be the one that you throw away like nothing?
how can i be the one that you destroy so easily?

screaming in the corner
jaded eyes filled with horror
how can anyone ignore this?
how can anyone be so blind?
Track Name: Sex is Overrated [MTTM and VulpineSmile]
deep down inside
you try to hide
i have seen your surface
burn like a furnace
i know you're worthless
all the things you think we don't see
they bubble to the surface
so simple to understand

you think you are so precious
you think you are so pure
you think you can control me
with your fucking sex
you'll never be anything more
you'll never be something special
everyone uses you and abuses you

if i could give you one bit of advice
it would be to be some much more then what you are
if you try this maybe they will love you
but if you keep on no one will remember you

and you try all the things that you think people want
you throw your flesh around like it's nothing
i know it's something you are so deluded
i think you burn yourself with delight
if i could give you one bit of advice
it would be to be some much more then what you are
if you try this maybe they will love you
but if you keep on no one will remember you

your sex is overrated

you think you are so precious
you think you are so pure
you think you can control me
with your fucking sex
you'll never be anything more
you'll never be something special
everyone uses you and abuses you
