Lost, what you hold most dear
A sense of self,
a knowledge of purity.
What makes up your being?
Shell, of your former self
Blending in with the masses.
No remorse.
What makes up your being?
Judging others
Scolding the weak
Breeding hatred
Preaching ignorance

Preconceived assumptions,
misguided, unjust and
ungrounded.

Suspended in time
is the safest place for us.
Can you see what you've become?
Tearing the fabric of man
Fall, Fall, Fall. Began the fall of man.
Fall, Fall, Fall. Began the fall of man.
Fall, Fall, Fall. Began the fall of man.
Fall, Fall, Fall, Fall, Fall. Began the fall of man.

In The Peripheral Part I

Wading through the glades
knee deep in what vultures refuse.
A winding path frail and deceptive.
She walks equipt,
with an empty chest and a fear of what may come.
In the colour of night a silhouette,
draped between branches,
falls to it's feet, standing statuesque.
As fake as the day man made it.
Using fear as opportunity.
Promising all,
delivering crumbs.
Pleasing to the eye
yet void of feeling.
His spores latch deep
altering her perception.
As fake as the day man made it.
Using fear,
as opportunity.
Promising all,
delivering crumbs.
Pulling at her sides
leading towards a
bleak view, mindset, torment
face to face with...
A salesman of lies
nourishing false hope
offering temporary solutions,
leading to future consequence.
Preaching a false gospel.
Proclaiming...
“We hold the answers
To all life’s questions”
“We hold the answers
To all life’s questions”
Beneath the eye line
A deceiver.
Beneath the eye line
A shape shifter.
Beneath the eye line
A deceiver.
Beneath the eye line
A shape shifter...Proclaiming...
“We hold the answers
To all life’s questions”
“We hold the answers
To all life’s questions”
“I take lives not save them.
Behold the eyes
the butcher.”

The Clarity Process

Bridge the divide.
Our hands torn of fingerprints.
Identities lost in the fray.
You ask for help from the wise.
Yet condemn, when critiqued.
Blaming others for what you’ve done.
The mark of the proud.
Bound by the harmony of colour.
Embrace what was once feared.
Progression is not singular.
Bridge the divide.
There is more to life than yourself.
The proud will stumble at their own hands.
Breathing stale air.
Left with only regret.
We hold the eyes of the young in our hands.
We are the...
We hold the eyes of the young in our hands.
We are the...
We are the example.
We hold the eyes of the young in our hands.
We are the...
We hold the eyes of the young in our hands.
We are the...
We are the example.
Leave your fortress
with a sense of humility.
Tear down this construct
built by blind men.
Leave your fortress.
Embrace what was once feared.
Tear down this construct.
Progression is not...singular.
Bridge the divide.
Bridge the divide.
Bridge the divide.
Bridge the divide.

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here.

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.
