lyrics

as you walk through the shallows
of this
blood soaked river
ignoring the signs
and you
keep going further

without a single thought
you pass the point of
no return
and then before you know it
its too late

struggling and writhing trying
to get your head up
above the current but you
are constantly dragged back down into the
dark mass
that is pulling you away

weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
and you cant escape

weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind

this is the prison you've made

a river of voices;
your diminishing conscience
while your actions drag you further
into the water

and all of a sudden
a gasping rush of
realisation
that floods in too late
so you turn back and start

struggling and writhing trying
to get your head up
above the current but you
are constantly dragged back down into
the dark mass
that is pulling you away

weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind
and you cant escape

weighed down and trapped by a
force that you can't control
gasping desperately as
you're being swept away
this place that you are
is a trap of the mind

this is the prison you've made

you have created

as you sink
you look back to the surface
only realising now

Orange Mathematics

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. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Three bass guitars on the attack in this band. Progressive rhythms with the guitars often adding to the percussive sound. ProgHog231
