I am awake, the first step in admitting these fallacies to the
Routes that have led us to this place
Those were the days we left behind, to escape from
The raw feelings of instilling inequity
It is not the path we have chosen to take
But the essence of life and the coming of age
We are not that easy to break, guide us to the ways of being complete
Within these lines we are confined, lashing out
At the progress of others that destroys the sense of our doubt
We must revive the conscious mind with the nobility of the wise
So our ideals won’t bring us down
I’d rather fall and realize that there are ways to relieving delusion
Then live through atrophy as I waste away all of these days
It may be something we loathe but we owe ourselves
The duty to find what sets us off to conquer the strain
The sky above is only glistening
Bring forth change and breathe this air, the purity so fine it will last a lifetime
So there is nothing besides the will to keep on moving on in a forward progression
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
