“Underneath a maelstrom of polyrhythmic guitars, sweeping vocals, and shuddering beats, Veil of Maya encode a ponderous narrative. “Viscera” follows the two previous stand-alone singles 2019s “Member’s Only” and 2020’s “Outsider,” which between them have clocked up over 2.2 million YouTube views and...
[Intro]
Callus, siege the atlas
Feed on those who dare tip the balance
[Verse 1]
I led a life without trial, it felt like prison
I led a life of denial, now hell has risen
I drag their bodies for miles, up hills, through bridges
I hold the bones I've defiled, they'll all go missing
I stare all my victims in the eyes while I haunt them
I stick filthy needles in their sides just to taunt them
I get what I want every time, toss the feelings to the sidе

Toss thе feelings to the side
Taking lives as I decide
[Chorus]
I wish it all would end
From the depths of hell they call
Asking where I've been
'Cause I can't escape the things I've done
'Cause I can't escape the things I've done
[Verse 2]
I'm told to follow the design, just a soul, I'm not alive
To obey, I won't decide
I get what I want every time, toss the feelings to the side
Taking lives as I decide
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it all would end
From the depths of hell they call
Asking where I've been
[Chorus]
I wish it all would end
From the depths of hell they call
Asking where I've been
'Cause I can't escape the things I've done
'Cause I can't escape the things I've done
[Outro]
You've conspired to keep me on your wire
It tears, it tears my life away
My desire just adds onto the fire
It tears, it tears my life away
You've conspired to keep me on your wire
It tears, it tears my life away
Asking where I've been
'Cause it's always listening
