Today is another affliction that tears everything that’s inside
A fuse quick to ignite, it’s time to block out the feelings
These are the reasons we are empty
You need to be released and see the value of being serene
The youth in your eyes is truly defined
Negated by fear, you have brought the battle out from within
Expel the fires of rage into a state of bliss
So channel the pain and keep the passion tame, know your psyche
This is scaling of peaks
When you look through the haze, nothing is certain,
So keep this all to yourself
With just assumptions made we aren’t making the progress
We need to get us through this
Today is another affliction that tears everything that’s inside
You need to be released and see the value of being serene
Create a venerable sight that this world should see
So we can escape from this era
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
