Failure Cascade
Lamniformes
From the first cascading failure Were we always like this? Every step leads to another Always losing ground Slipping too far to recover From the rising violence Every step leads to another Always losing ground Up from dying roots drawing from the soil Bled into the seeds spread into the whole If you take a bite of a rotten apple Can you taste the pure when poison has control? All it takes is one corruption Crack in the leyline For the dream to start to crumble Always losing ground One word becomes a virus Passing through the grapevine And the nightmare will resurface Always losing ground Up from dying roots drawing from the soil Bled into the seeds spread into the whole If you take a bite of a rotten apple Can you taste the pure when poison has control? Do you want control? Is that what you want? Do you want control? Is it something in the water? Is it something in the air? Rotting from the inside Causing us to fail Help me find a way out I need to find a way out

The Lonely Atom is the second studio album from the Brooklyn-based heavy alternative rock project Lamniformes. It is a concept album about the isolation of modern life, the fractured projections of the self that exist outside of us in digitally mediated spaces, and the struggle for real connection in an increasingly atomized world.

Dedicated to Montana Elliot
