lyrics

They're tearing me away from you
The earth decays beneath our feet
reaching out I scream your name
Forever falling
Our worlds colliding

Division
A schism in my mind
I can no longer correct

A fracture
Separates my thoughts
Consuming hope
A phosphorescent light

Uncertainty
Like a cancer, devours will
It gives purpose for our indecision

Suddenly descend in isolation
Overwhelmed by the inept
Lost sense of self

Unwilling to admit I am powerless

It draws me in
The thought of a new beginning
Make me whole again
Before it leaves me wanting
Desperate to rise

I am reconstructing memories of light and dark

An alteration brings a new existence
Modernizing all our convictions
Don't let these misdirections guide you
This logic will obtain and define you

So easily we lost it all
Misplacing our lives
We lost it all
In this dreamscape
We lost it all

A shadowed essence
Blissfull existence
Collapse a fragile moral

Is there a place
I can close my eyes
It pulls me in
Protects me from
The dark inside
My mind

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
