Make it a Habit

(This is the last time)
Do it right, do it right,
Make it a habit
Do it right, do it right,
Make it a habit
One-two, one-two,
Whacha gonna say,
One-two, one-two,
When it breaks you?
Some people don't take the time - Don't respect the grind
Don't listen to how it needs to be
Some people try to steal the show,
But what they don't know is what they really mean
Some people don't try to learn - They just wanna feel fire
Then wonder why they burn
Some people can't take defeat - They lash out
But what they don't know is what they really mean
Do it right, do it right,
Make it a habit
Do it right, do it right,
Make it a habit
One-two, one-two,
Whacha gonna say,
One-two, one-two,
When it breaks you?

Break Me (Album Version)
03:41

I want to know what makes you feel
I want to know what makes this real
Is it the pain in your lonesome eyes?
Knowing every moment you're forced to live a lie?
And in this agony
You're allowed a second of reality
To come through and be what you are:
Vulnerable and gone
I just want to feel something!
To be real; Murder the lie!
I turn off everything
But in this pain, with you, I'm alive
I think I know what makes me feel
I think I what makes me real
I freeze my emotions in life
And pretend I'm awake when I'm dead inside
And in this hypocrisy
I'm not allowed a second of reality
To come through and admit when I am
Vulnerable and gone
I just want to feel something!
To be real; Murder the lie!
I turn off everything
But in this pain, with you, I'm alive
With you - My hands in chains
With you - My will in your hands
With you - My spirit frozen
My body cold - I want you to break me
Sadness strangles me
Rumination strengthens doubt
When you put your hands to me
It lets the shame come out
When the shame comes out
I'm awake in life
I carry on again
Until I'm stifled again
I'm really broken up this time
I'm really broken up this time
I'm really broken up this time
Can you break me up?
I'm really broken up this time
I'm really broken up this time
I'm really broken up this time
Can you break me up?
I just want to feel something!
To be real; Murder the lie!
I turn off everything
But in this pain, with you, I'm alive
With you - My hands in chains
With you - My will in your hands
With you - My spirit frozen
My body cold - I want you to break me

Appeal of the Void
05:17

This appeal
Of the Void
Like venom in my head
Seducing -
Confusing -
A sad song of the dead
Appeal
Of the Void
Can you feel the end approaching?
Appeal
Of the Void
Can you hear the whispers and the beckoning noise?
(This appeal of the Void)
At times, the chill
Splash of twisted fear
Deathwish, what could?
Embrace of mortality
It's distraction
At the point of fear
I bury the moment - Deny the seer
It's a repressed mentioning
In the back of my head
Begging me to go down
(This appeal of the Void)
(Appeal of the Void)
This
Little
Death
inside me
Destroys
The will
That writhes
inside me
This appeal
Of the Void
Like the call of destiny
Resist
The chill
And the grim reality
Find strength
In doubt
And doubt anxiety
This appeal
Of the Void
Is only part reality
(It's only part reality)
(That feeling when you want to die - You're not alone)

Better Off

I cut my teeth
On your mistakes
I held you up
Until my back was breaking
You
Belong alone
Because you'd hurt yourself
Just to spite your own
And you never
Believed in me
And I'm better
Now that I'm free
From you
And your toxicity
I know right now
You wish you were me
I fell down
And you stood on me
To reach a dream
That you could never be
Now you
Belong alone
Because you'd slay the king
Just to take his throne
And you never
Believed in me
And I'm better
Now that I'm free
From you
And your toxicity
I know right now
You wish you were me
You told lies
To yourself
About how hopeless
Things are meant to be
Propaganda
Paints your mind
You made a fool of yourself
And I'm laughing now
Cuz you never
Believed in me
And I'm better
Now that I'm free
From you
And your toxicity
I know right now
You wish you were me
And you never
Believed in me
And I'm better
Now that I'm free
From you
And your toxicity
I know right now
You wish you were me
You've got your big words now
And you can keep them for yourself
You're a big man now
And you can do it by yourself
You've got your big head now
And you can lie right to yourself
Blow your brains out on the page
Take a picture for yourself

Not In Love
04:11

I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside when you call me home
'Cause this heart inside is not in love
I'm not in love
Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Won't take you so far, I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside when you call me home
'Cause this heart inside is not in love
I'm not in love
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you call me home
'Cause this heart inside is not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love

Emotionless

I lose the feeling
Forget to love
Pain replaces security
Calloused egos
Hardened sense of self
I take it out on myself
I toil until
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
Emotionless

lyrics
(I think you know)
No control of my life
I'll give everything - I give everything
With all the blood in me
I bleed all of it - I give you all of it
What you do with me
It isn't right - It's insanity
What you do with me
It's insanity - It's insanity
This inhumane
Touch on my face
The sad embrace that ruptures me
And settles under my flesh
This hurtful gaze - Like opiate
It dulls the pain
But I can't make sense of it
You break me down

Fascists
03:44

They don't come with guns
Until it's way too late
They come with bad ideas and hatred
Ready to debate
They promise liberty
But not equality
They blame your problems
On the people they're afraid to be
Geist von Dachau
Geist von Buchenwald
Geist von Burgen-Belsen
Geist von Auschwitz-Burchenau
Dein Arbeit macht dir frei
Wir wirden deinen Licht
Wir wirden Hass hier lassen leben nicht
They don't come with guns
Until it's way too late
They come with bad ideas and hatred
Ready to debate
They promise liberty
But not equality
They blame your problems
On the people they're afraid to be

Sublimity
03:30
|

|
I dismantle the machine
This organism in me
Is it better to believe
Or to simply be?
There need not be an answer
The painter's fingers break
Atrophy and meaning
The Void looks upon life
I taste the spice of life
Vulgar, bitter, and dirt
I discover some meaning
After all the hurt
I live just as you do
I love just as you do
I fabricate myself
To feel this life

Nur Black Norfolk, Virginia
Dark, tense, and dramatic electronic music from Thomas Duerig (also front man of The Purge) borrowing structural and sonic elements of industrial, metal, and EBM with a binary approach to vocals that bounces between heavy influences like Suicide Commando or Cradle of Filth to acts like Crystal Castles. ... more

supported by 8 fans who also own “Appeal of the Void”
Different This Time is a stand out on this excellent album. The driving bass line sucks you into the poignant vocals so the lyrical pain can slap you down. But the title track, Rain, is the Pièce De Résistance. The Purge always makes me so happy to be made so sad.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Appeal of the Void”
While I tend to fall out of Goth/Industrial these days (please don't take my card, black is still my favorite color) and into other genres, The Purge always brings me back. The track "Self Repair" really hit home for me, lyrically and musically. The Cure influence is unmistakable, but it's also obviously a unique homage and not a stolen sound. Highly recommended.

The Bad Ideas We Build Worlds
by The Purge
supported by 5 fans who also own “Appeal of the Void”
I think a lot of people will become fans of The Purge because of Only Black, as it resonates with every goth. But It's a Bad Idea is a much more accurate personal anthem for me.

Chasing Ghosts

The industrial rock heavyweights return with their first album in over 20 years, produced by John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Cocteau Twins).

The goth group head into heavier, more distorted territory on their latest, inspired by the folklore of the golem.

A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.
