lyrics

You've lost touch with reality
Roaming and searching for the end
Search for the exit
Lost in subversion

Deception swallows the truth
How can this be happening

The collapse that we always knew
Brings life to this helpless cause

The relapse of the intellectual mind

I'm not who you made me out to be

Release
Escape from this insecurity
Become the one you claim to be
Enlighten your ways
Shift your values

Can you find the light
This darkness inside

Eliminate the doubt inside
Change Your ways
And find the light

We're just falling further away
From who we use to be
Faster to the ground
A separation we have found

So useless from the beginning
We separate
This impeccable fate
So aimless from the beginning
We separate
This impeccable fate

You've lost touch
With reality
Your mind wandering
Roaming and searching
For the end
Search for the exit
Lost in subversion
Seek a passage

Don't turn your eyes from the sun
A heart filled with hate does
nothing but burn
Burn, a hole in your life
Cut of the waste
Turn these wrongs into rights
Burn
This down to the ground
A heart filled with hate does
Nothing but drown
It burns A hole in your life
Cut out the waste turn these wrongs into rights

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
