The age of information is wasted on our time
The elevation promised proved too high to climb
They said, “Now is the first time in all our history
We can be sure we have it better than ever before”
An infinite vacation, the watch that hypnotized
The destination promised didn’t materialize
Now that we’re here, don’t you wish we could go back?
There doesn’t appear to be a plan in place for that
There’s something that prevents contentment
Turn around, remember how
To let go and sink in to the moment
To come down into the now
This delusion is not a prison ‘cause the key is in the lock
Used to know somehow forgot how
To let go and sink in to the moment
The age of entertainment has wasted all our time
The illumination promised never came to light
Now that it’s clear, with consciousness under attack
Can we interfere? Or do we ride it out til it fades to black?

Second Guess

If I criticize you it might not surprise you
To learn it’s my ego in overdrive
It’s pulling the veil down over the mirror
It’s easier than facing up to what’s inside
This realization’s got me thinking
Do you still believe in
This unbreakable bond we’ve built?
I won’t die for god and country
But if it’s for you I dare say I’d do almost anything
If I lay into you I might not intend to
I guess the stress gets the best of us all sometimes
It blocks out the sun a while, it doesn’t get clearer
Until I remember that you light up my life
This revelation’s got me wondering
Who am I becoming if I don’t cherish our connection?
I don’t blame you if you doubt it
I probably would too if I were in your shoes
I can’t trust myself to notice the irony when I question my uncertainty
I hate second guessing ‘cause then I’m just unsure twice
Doubling down on false dichotomy
I can’t trust myself to notice the irony when I question my own sanity
I hate second guessing ‘cause then I’m just unsure twice
Doubling down on false dichotomy

Spoke in a language I did not comprehend
Made promises I was too young to understand
Repeatedly used a phrase I questioned
Never defined it but deduced it meant “heaven”
Impermanence asks that we remember it
As repetition reveals itself to be a form of change
Experience makes war on the innocent
As attention appeals for clarity to be sustained
Half way through the East I thought to end
The West of a future waiting around the bend
Increasingly felt shy of self-expression
And likely to take a drink when quart’s in session

Suddenly It's Gone

You know what to say that could make it right
I won’t hold my breath thinking I’ll hear it tonight
Yeah we’re both confused, tensions running high
Maybe come tomorrow we can give it another try
Thunders ashore like a hurricane
The walls begin to shake
The lights flash off and on
And how do we respond?
By opening up old wounds again
Like we’re nostalgic for the pain
The storm rages on
Then suddenly it’s gone
If there were a way I could turn back time
Defuse the situation, approach it with a clearer mind
Nothing I can say now can justify
Yeah I’m under pressure but this time I crossed the line
You felt those old ghosts waking up
Disturbing long disregarded truths that we both knew
Left town without a second thought
Asked were you ever coming back
But I knew

Cul-de-Sac

You stood out in the street and called my name
When I came to the door to give you what for you maintained
That you were afraid to call my house on the phone
Because you couldn’t be sure who else might be at home
Endless afternoons when the sky would open like clockwork
Found it hard to explain to all the world running for cover
Why we ran outside to get drenched by the rain
Cascading and raging in a torrent it seemed would never stop coming down
On those endless afternoons when the sky would open like clockwork
Every Sunday morning played out the same
We’d get up with the sun and take a seat up front like we were trained
You bragged that you could leave in under an hour, after communion
But we had to sit up straight and wait for absolution

For You It's Infinite

This fever, it runs in step with the weather
Don’t worry yourself sick
We’ve got the medicine
Don’t you feel our luck is changing?
As everything is starting to fall into place
So let’s savor it
Rest your cares next to my heart
It beats like a drum, without a start or an end
For you it’s infinite
Working through the day to make a way to the night
The flame inside of you is my guiding light
I feel you as a ray of sun that hits me when morning comes
This fever burns away the time left
Whether it breaks on its own or we try to cure it
I think we gotta work on it
Don’t you feel the days stretch out into the midnight sky?
Endless horizon calls out
You know we’re gonna answer it
Working through the day to make a way to the night
The flame inside of you is my candle light
I feel you as the ray of sun that wakes me when morning comes

Details have long washed out but the framework lasts
Patiently it waits to be remade
Impressions stream and collide
As an orchestra revives a favorite song it knows by heart
Coincidence just happens upon a chest of souvenirs
Neglected once back home
Spends an afternoon lost in memory
Unraveling the fabric bygones wove

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme.

Buoyant vocals and a varied palette of synths work in perfect tandem to create gorgeous art-pop that's able to address big realities.
