lyrics

Disenchantment surrounds us
A rebellion inside us

How can we become

It's not so important
To compile
As many things we can
Before our time is up

Life is more than an after effect
of what we were told to be

We must learn to lose and be lost
Become everything we condemn

Blinding us within
Transforming us into total perfection
Blinding me within
It's making me into who I am

We must forget what we've learned
Where we came from
And find where we must go
Where will we go

It's not so important to collect
as much as we can
Before our time runs out

Our lives
Are more than an irrelevant
We must learn
To be blissfully lost

All the things I should have done
It's taken me longer to understand
The person I am and how we can change
Can we begin again
And start once again

Can we begin
And start again

All of my life
Passes before my eyes
All this time
Was I awake

I didn't realize I was away

What does it mean to start again
To begin from the end

Bend things the way that you what to
Breathe in the mentality of change
It's not too late to change your fate
Bring together a new desire

We must learn to lose and be lost
Recreate a new constant

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
