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
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
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
