Intro 01:53

2.
Genesis 03:01
a perfect match incorporeal design pieces fit string together warning sign in the distance coming into form netherworld symmetry a new arrangement born the genesis a puzzle slips in place the figure cast development in time and space silhouette shaping truth collide pulling you apart visceral decay inside far removed events to unevolve reaching through darkest mirror riddle solved fallen light underneath me still wickedness the only thing left to kill
3.
Alibi 03:57
Unmasked portals Still connecting Uncover the ending till it bleeds till it bleeds You don't need an alibi I'm the one that lives a lie Ritualized fictionalize Confess your sins to our crippled god Lie detector test tube morals Face the truth compromised You don't need an alibi I'm the one that lives a lie Resistance levels fading Who can turn me around now Chemical defacing Where I am to here I come Hypno science Trapped inside Worship matter Praise the whore You don't need an alibi I'm the one that lives a lie Who can turn me around now Who can turn me around now From where I am to here I come Who can turn me around now From where I am to here I come
4.
Sacrament 03:26
Underneath this cross you bear I'll be your sacrificial rite Virgin Mary bleeds through me This little lamb's a little tight Pour your holy water all over me This consecration needs concentration Sado-Sacrament far as the eye can see I'll make confession perverse obsession Take this altar stripped to bone Your allusion is made real In the house of mortal sin There's no contrition left to feel
5.
Litmus Red 04:16
Traumatized the blood is still flowing Pressurized agent killing pain Paralyzed watching every moment The deicide is forming in the shadow of the brain Terminate the heart rate is slowing Administrate another lethal dose Separate the frequencies from charging The chemicals are bonding The end is getting close The sparrow turned a litmus red In his crystal cage conceived Terminal electric line all systems received
6.
Through the door of the mezzanine The operation unseen Experiment of heart and mind Examining all we find Here within these scarlet walls You show me secret hidden halls Come to me ungodly sent The clandestine experiment Potions mixing like a symphony Clouds of smoke form secrecy Time is never permanent The clandestine experiment Nothing but the best most advanced technology Connecting taste and sight Connecting wrong and right State of the art top of the line Hell with heaven heart with brain Connecting blood and vein Coming into consciousness the curtain drawn the soul confess undercover ministry the nectar's in the chemistry devoted to a deep descent the clandestine experiment Connecting taste and sight Connecting wrong and right Hell with heaven heart with brain Connecting blood and vein
7.
Pretend I had a heart And nothing was in vain but I've always been Damned in here these dreams were nothing but a stain Another face to hide the truth Of what inside remains Is this the hell I was hoping for? Leave me here eternally Suffer for the lies told And all the evil things you hold The only thing I see Make a wish blow out the light Betraying the path is my favorite way to die Crippled form fake it's not a lie Caught up in the storm of ash Too many kills to see the sky Is this the hell I was hoping for? Leave me here eternally Suffer for the lies told And all the evil things you hold The only thing I see Trace the lines through the brain Memories that cannot hide inside these walls again Is there anything left in here to find? That hasn't been fucked By all the rotted static kept in mind Is this the hell I was hoping for? Leave me here eternally Suffer for the lies told And all the evil things you hold The only thing I see (As above so below As above so below As above so below As above so below....)

Mire 03:07
Quiet now he's buried upside down I'm lying awake on lines he didn't take away Holding me just a memory fading into black Deadly nightshade never looking back Crawling though the mire I'm calling one more time Say you'll wait That I long to hear Till I finally wander in the clear Crawling though the mire I'm calling one more time Heaven sent me for your last breath Quiet now he's burning upside down In the walls we make in the ways we fake display Fantasy now just a fallacy as you burned inside Crossed your heart until it died Crawling though the mire I'm calling one more time
9.
Warmer in the cold one more moment left to hold Kneeling in the snow vaguest feeling where to go Naked as the past stripped apart and built to last Hell up to the sky these are things that never die Frozen on the page dripping with a silent rage Born into the night poison gift giving sight Turning all around though the walls and through the sound Hell up to the sky these are things that never die Cast away to lie among the living paradigm Broken little wing holding every hidden thing Playing every part nailed upon a wooden heart Hell up to the sky these are things that never die Choices have been made sharpening into a blade Voices rise and fall answering in line the call All the signs are clear Severin the time is near Hell up to the sky these are things that never die
10.
The Visitor 03:29
Crossed the lines forbidden scene Angel's blood makes dopamine Giallo gloves a touch pristine The visitor comes in clean Do your worst on me He kills in ecstasy In sin he sows the seed A little faith is all you need Hidden are the sinful sights Dying in the strange delights Moral code breaking nights Stimulating wicked heights Disfiguring Disfiguring Disfiguring... Take it out on me Lusting so violently The knife misogyny The visitor a mystery He kills in ecstasy in ecstasy in ecstasy
11.
Stand before you with no heart These scars hold all the meaning and become a boundless way with you Heaven knows I'd help you drag a body through the mud hell two or three You are my sacred blasphemy And I'd do anything I could I'd even take away the breath for good In the dying of the light Love crawls up inside And the flesh is a torn and pretty sight I'm lost like a secret that forgot where it was keeping Still receiving whispers of night Destiny demonstrate Nothing lives beyond it's fate Destroyed in the final hour And I know you need more So I step aside let life come between us I dig into the dirt I had never known something to kill for
12.
you showed me a blackness held me in the vastness of everything underneath the surface of a clean white existence lost in your resistance and I changed a mutation rearranged inside you know i don't need this buried all your secrets we were lost now we're something to hide away this doom is upon us fickle in my fondness since i've changed and the one has come to take what's yours away i cast the hoodoo i only want to hurt you can you feel everything did I get under your skin or should I dig even deeper this path's a little steeper will this matter in the way you die flesh wounded gateway a place where we can both prey and you go to the cellar you should just leave it alone you know the spiders surround this crawling through our vortex and you stay cause you know we have found a secret home you don't know where you come from momentum just let go rubber band into existence your soul just like me petty prizes for a price to swallow all the conflict since it' s all in your mind
13.
Standing on the brink emptiness evolved Measuring the lines the distances crossed Burning away open the sky Nothing revealed... nothing but time Viscera of yesterday Time's a knife to have it's way Only just begun Crimson of the setting sun Scattering the ash places recalled Nothing to see faces dissolved Coming around broken the sign Nothing revealed... nothing but time Viscera of yesterday Time's a knife to have it's way Only just begun Crimson of the setting sun Caving in circling along Patterned dream the places you've gone Merry go round making the call Time only waits for nothing at all
14.
Transformed 03:37
we are the malformed transcended transformed you and I dark with knowing blood just overflowing we are the malformed transcended transformed heightened view information conscious reformation we are the malformed transcended transformed passageway sole injection programmed to perfection we are the malformed transcended transformed keeping our lost connection gateway through reflection

about

"Revealing her maturity as a songwriter, arranger, and programmer, Jaymie Valentine's second full-length album is a masterpiece of modern darkwave."
- Regen Magazine

Cindergarden's sophomore full-length, The Clandestine Experiment. Valentine describes her own role recording the album as that of a mad scientist, and indeed there's a much more experimental mood in play. The Clandestine Experiment also features guest performances from Clint Carney of System Syn, Cindergarden's 2006 live show drummer Nick Liberatore, and mastered by legendary Rock and Roll Producer Jon Astley. TCE is diverse enough for both club-play and quieter, more intimate occasions, The Clandestine Experiment will appeal to fans of industrial and goth alike.
