lyrics

The darkness growing closer
as the life drains from my body
growing closer i’m suffocating
consumed by what lies inside
silence echoes all around me
nowhere to run, where do I hide?
Chained to my own addictions
I’m repeating a violent cycle
with a noose tied around my neck
Judgement is met at the hands of
time
there’s nothing left but regret
Take my life back to where you started.
Let it all wash back to where your heart is.
I can’t hold on while the storm tears down my inner being, leveling the balance. How long will this life collapse,
if it has to be taken by your grasp.
Please help me before I let go
The darkness won’t consume me
the suffering within my mind ties it
together like barbed wire
pulling tighter with every thought
that plagues my mind
until there's nothing left
Destruction is the cost
of my own trespasses
Take my life back to where you started.
Let it all wash back to where your heart is.
I can’t hold on while my storm tears apart at my soul’s weak stitching.
You’ve stolen everything from me
now the darkest days
are all i seem to find
with no place to hide
from this static noise
trapped in my mind now
this time i won’t forgive you
all the pain you put me through
i will sever every withered root
Take my life back to where you started.
Let it all wash back to where your heart is.
I can’t hold on while the storm tears down my inner being, leveling the balance. How long will this life collapse,
if it has to be taken by your grasp.
Please help me before I let go
I cannot let go
I cannot let go
my roots are tearing at the seams.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
