Ancient scrolls of man dictate subservience.
To fail in playing God is to succeed in being dead.
Buildings devoured by time pockmark an earth held hostage.
The harborer of life is now a dark chasm, where nothing grows.
And we failed to recognize freedom as an illusion,
Served on a silver platter labeled choice.
Choose to purchase an education, transportation, habitation.
Choose to wonder who the fuck you really are when the clock hits 5:01
Now you choose a scenic burial plot, and a mournful epitaph.
We are champions of self-destruction.
We choose to render the earth sterile.
Whispers of sanity are cyclones hurling hostility.
A narrow margin of escape, reasoning with evil.
Insidious, creeping fear,
Stagnant, brooding monstrosities.
In the depths of this mental cage
The paradox unfolds: our most fatal
Fears are found free inside the mind.
The hell that awaits sleeps behind our eyes.
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
I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too Faugus
