I was wrong and I can’t believe
That it’s taken me this long
To recognize adversity within me
I have tried to extinguish these demons
What does it take to see the silver lining?
When we live in a world of spite and denomination
I have chosen to see the darkest forms of circumstance
Yet I’m the critic without direction
It’s time to let this go
I’ve stricken down your words
With nothing more then a baseless perspective
And I’m cheating my own mind into believing
Your thoughts are worthless
You don’t deserve this
I thought I’d be your voice of reason
To guide you to a better place
But I cannot dictate your direction
This has killed my way of interconnection
And it’s leaving me in a strain of remorse
That I just can't shake and decide to relegate
I know I need to ease the blame
The time is now, I’ll learn my faults, I need my mind to remember
Rise then fall, it’s been the way that I’ve atrophied
I want to grow and learn my place, devoid of imperfection
Take a look inside
There wasn’t anything that seemed amiss in me
I would just dismiss the force that I portrayed
It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me
And I was wrong
It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me

Instrumentation written by Anthony Garrison. Lyrics by Ian Robertson.
This is 1 of the best instrumental albums I've heard, EVER. Top 3: this Wide Eyes, Andromida (Timeless), & The Algorithm (Compiler Optimization Techniques). thevossman
I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora. Catsfist
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
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
