The Forever Rot Lyrics
The hominid trajectory
Was the catalyst to forbid
This inter-dimensional imagery
For the substance of our existence
Seeps of earthborn putridity
This mystic entheogen
Skinning my essence
From a planet of regurgitated monsters
It ripped the threads of a dying macrocosm
Where all creations are charades and imposters
I no longer sense a ghost inside my carbon-based vessel
The grief is horrendous
But I rest in comfort of knowing
My soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
As my fleshed flame was quenched with gloom
The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
I can overhear my shadow's dimming cry
It wept and said
"Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
I no longer sense a ghost inside my carbon-based vessel
The grief is horrendous
But I rest in comfort of knowing
My soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
As my fleshed flame was quenched with gloom
The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
I can overhear my shadow's dimming cry
It wept and said
"Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
No longer was I to be revived
My body had been purged
Bathed by the sound of flies
Was the catalyst to forbid
This inter-dimensional imagery
Seeps of earthborn putridity
Skinning my essence
From a planet of regurgitated monsters
Where all creations are charades and imposters
The grief is horrendous
But I rest in comfort of knowing
My soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
It wept and said
"Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
The grief is horrendous
But I rest in comfort of knowing
My soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
It wept and said
"Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
My body had been purged
Bathed by the sound of flies

The band’s frontman Jonny Davy says of this track , “On MoonHealer (the title of the album this song is on) we explore a concept centered around a close friend who embarked on a relentless quest for profound enlightenment through the incessant abuse of hallucinogenic drugs, leading to a severe disconnection from reality due to the toll it took on their mental health. The song 'The Forever Rot' touches on their beliefs that human evolution and development have somehow led to the restriction of perceiving otherworldly or inter-dimensional realities and religious entities. It delves into their disconnection from the physical world and the notion that true vitality may be found in the ability to self-destruct and recreate. That some of the drugs they consumed opened these realities that evolution has closed the door on.”
