His Eternal Enemy Stay sweet, lonely boy Harshness, rots and sours Cunning, not so cruel Ruthless, and so patient This art applies to everything Disruptive agenda ALL YOUR OWN / NO ONE KNOWS DISGUISE IS so smashing, so smashing, so smashing, it's so smashing! Petty tyrants annoy Points to distraction Sowing seeds of doubt Reasons unexplained Remain with agenda Daring yet very mistaken! ALL HIS FEARS / ALL HIS PLEASURE ETERNAL his enemy, all the nagging, all the nothing, behind everything For the average man, backstabbing is Negative business For the petty tyrant, the knife is The only witness There is no friend, anywhere There is no enemy, anywhere There is NO!

Until the Grave Gives Up the Ghost A casual agent, with convenient excuse Serves to attract awareness, To substitute truths... ACT OUTSIDE THE DEADLINES TO REDISCOVER, TIME OUT OF MIND Angelic assassins, monkeys in reflection Infinity mocks their definition... YEARN TO UNLEARN, UNWIND SLAVETIME, UNCHAIN WILL NOT REMAIN Change today, have tomorrow today Change, constant and continual Here is sacrifice / now a ritual I destructure, I default, I devour I AND ALL...KALLISTI...RELEASE ME! We shall examine, manufactured crises Commonly believed, as necessary process UNTIL THE GRAVE GIVES UP THE GHOST A SPIRIT SHINES THE INNERMOST P & C Phantom Receiver Music Publishing, ASCAP

The Curse of Greyface It's now or neverwhere, we're here to disappear A persistent minority, within shadows Of impossible light! It's nothing less than unbelievable Hidden grades, impossible shadows Nothing less than Interpretation, truths as phantoms Strange attempts, time well spent Lift our hands to grip the stars In memory of the future The eternal return-come again and again How many times must we realign and rebegin This heart of darkness holds a light within The end of history-nothing but a state of Transition...(interpretation...) Time-blind results, self-defined insults HAUNTED AND HUMORLESS AS THEIR OWN HEAD THE CURSE OF GREYFACE! Forget us / we are passing show / we are here to go None of us are ok but all of us are fine Don't let it stop, stop at your eye Don't let it stop, stop at your eye It is now or neverwhere It is now or neverwhere INHERENT It just goes TRANSPARENT It's unborn BURNING This veil with waves of...waves of will WE CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WORLD TO TURN BY OUR OWN...FIRE! WE SHALL BURN Chaos so necessary / you so indifferent A path of certainty to know...what is meant by Endless absence! Passing of skin / a time to rebegin / eat your karma alive Everything changes, one into the other The eternal return, a passing of skin, how many times? Must we realign, and rebegin? P & C Phantom Receiver Music Publishing, ASCAP

Make Fine Dreams Imitate yourself, through a series of roles Actor as hacker cracking codes Of conduct not to get stuck, but know Totality, sum of many separate realities I AM MY OWN LIFE / I AM MY OWN DEATH I AM MY OWN Death! Is a story with out pages This is theater with out stages View will change, patterns rearranged So! Shatter the category melt the mold I AM MY OWN LIFE / I AM MY OWN DEATH I AM MY OWN Possibility of position, collapse the mainframe With stars of the brain, spots the shine In all directions, remembering the birth of initiation With each step, exhale strife Take in new life With each breath, beside me is death To remind me what's left, to make happen To take action before it takes you Move further through to see from all views CAST OURSELVES OUT! WAY OUT From blind existence tone touched and Persistent, here for our own amusement We earned our exit, make fine dreams P & C Phantom Receiver Music Publishing, ASCAP

about

With a genre-defying stab at modern conventions, Lawrence, KS quintet THE ESOTERIC provide a feral four-song glimpse into the future of music! "1336" is a corrosive blend of abrasive but intricate guitars, a pummeling rhythm section, determined, compelling vocals and stellar, memorable songwriting. Coupling their unique grasp of songcraft with a live performance that MUST be seen, THE ESOTERIC command attention. Take action, before action takes you! Featuring former members of COALESCE, REGGIE AND THE FULL EFFECT and TODAY IS THE DAY!

"Metal outside the mold" -LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD

"The Esoteric just dropped an atom bomb that will incinerate all genre boundaries" -DIGITALMETAL.com

"The band's ear-splitting attack is as tuneful as it is abrasive, mixing odd time signatures and calculated rhythm blasts into thoughtfully composed songs." -LAWRENCE.com WEEKLY
