Feed me your lies Watch my pain fade away Locked up inside My thoughts astray Break the dam Free the river Flood the town downhill It'll take like 60 days We'll be up and away before the fall We're simply helping fate We had time and we wasted it all Seize control Kill the priestess Rid the world of greed We're brought to the world Under the unbreakable spell of complacence As the air we breathe is made more scarce But in the end the world we built will burn But we'll burn a million times as fast
3.
Placed in my palm is the fate of our entire race We trashed our own planet and now we are planning to conquer space Leaving no trace, I've been given the task to Spread our seeds far and wide Before we achieve that I truly believe we'll collide With an asteroid the size of mars that destroys us all Like the worms we are... Our lonesome hero tried so hard to Wake up from this living nightmare Grinding out his mind You must learn my son that the line between what's real and dreams are very thin Penetrate your thoughts and you'll begin to see that reality is defined in relativity Where have you gone my only friend? Flew close to the sun and you got burnt Fell off the edge...
4.
Hear me now but I got nothing to say to you You're a figment of my design an extension of my demise into the abyss of delusions Raindrops falling towards the sky boulders floating in the river as if weightless so surreal, this journey back to earth Is it real? Or am I dreaming Of the room?

about

'Mutations' is the second album by IDDQD. Recorded in 2020, the concept album explores the mutations of IDDQD's sound over the years, from instrumental acoustic looped music to being a one-person progressive rock outfit.

Odd-timed rhythms, Eastern-influenced grooves, and through-composed songwriting style is among the characteristics of the album, featuring heavily processed guitars and synths, genre-defying bass and complex drums.

The album was recorded and produced by Arya Afshar in 2020 and features collaborations from a number of artists worldwide.
