Always craving sleep
Weak weary there's no hope for me
I am missing all sense of direction
In this world I fear to call home
We have searched the depths
Returned with empty hands
No one here is free
Victims of
Victims of conformity
Closed eyes, Closed minds
Dark skies loom, rain follows, always follows
No one here is free
Forced to be
Were all victims
Finally beginning to see
We've spread incurable disease
Cancer of the earth
Pollutants poison the seas
Life escapes me
Winds they take me
Neither flesh nor dirt are immune
Life escapes me
Winds they take me
Dead planet no resources left to consume
Drowning in our sorrows how
Could we let the light burn out
Buried in stillborn dreams
And their voices scream
Who do I ask for help?
The burden is my own
Buried in these stillborn dreams
And I’m not strong enough to bear the weight
No not in this state
Staring at the sky praying with mouths agape
With lack of consciousness we’re drowning in the rain
Apathy infests our clogged arteries
There's no way to stop it we’ve spread incurable disease
They say we can break these chains and we can change our ways
But fuck the cure if there's no profit
Neither flesh nor dirt immune to this dying planet, no resource to consume
We’ve lost sight of our potential we must reach new heights
Clean this slate
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Watch the sun light our own mistakes
Pray for rain
Ask ourselves if we deserve to burn in our own wake
Take me away
Silent embrace
Mother of mercy
Father of death
Give my soul courage
Give my head rest
Mother of mercy
Father of death
Prayers become product of our unrest
As they manifest into nothingness
Accepting the inevitability that I can never reach this reverie
My final days have dawned on me
I've searched to the depths of solace
But returned with empty hands
The one time I caught a glimpse was to end this instance
And even if I ascended to the highest of heights, Id still be perched upon an unstable precipice
Staring down at the darkest of waters
In life we wait to fall or we leap
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
