you sang a song that i liked
it spoke of parables
lessons of life
it wasn't much of a fight
they brought guns
and i brought a knife
it's what they want
i'm hollowed out
at least i know it now
they're not honest
it's so obvious
i know it now
and for a second i thought it was over
now i feel so hollow
they came shrouded in night
kissing a crucifix dressed i black
it wasn't much of a fight
they brought guns
and i brought a knife
i'm sick of waiting for a better life
here's your valentine
we're all staring straight to the sun
that has blinded us
and for a second i thought it was over
now everybody feels the same pain
so just look me in the eyes
and know there's tears trapped in my eyelids
because i know you will die
everyone i know
then i hope to see the faces of my family and friends
when i step back and re-trace it i see we're closer to an end
everyone i know
there were bloodstains on the carpet
he was someone else's son
i feel the tears break past my eyelids
and release my pain in floods
everyone i know
i feel so hollow

Countries are made up for war and profits
I don't got nothing to lose
But I have smiled from the pills I have taken
Oh no this high is not true
Oh no this high is not true
Glass is half empty or full of poison
Drink up it's what humans do
But I have choked on the air I was breathing
Oh no this life I will lose
Oh no this life I will lose
So call me a medic
Cuz I'm not going to make it on through
Countries are made up for war and profits
Humans eat, shit, fuck, then fill up their coffins
That shit ain't nothing new
But I have cried from the love we all faking
Oh no this love is not true
Oh no this love is not true
So don't call the medic
Cuz I don't want to make it on through

So this is life
You wouldn't like it
So this is life
You wouldn't like it
Forces
Division is hungry
Head in a spin
Eating swords again
Off paper plates
So this is life
You wouldn't like it
So this is life
You wouldn't like it
Forces
Rhythm has gone and left
Tripping up stairs
I'm back again
Love you take care
So this is life
You wouldn't like it
So this is life
You wouldn't like it
Forces
When you woke up
To dances of light
It filled you up
Cratered mountain
And all I see
Is nothing for me
But you won't
Become the tired
And once you see that
Nothing is me
You will have everything
That you wanted
I want to be
So this is the dance
I hope you liked it
So this is the dance
I hope you like it
Forces

We know no harm
We know no wrong
Oblivious
We are pain
Give me just a minute
I'll try to explain
Paint a picture of these monsters
Like extras in a movie we didn't exchange
Love for others
Me, myself and
I could make a difference
But I'll just complain
Staring at screens
That which stare at me
We don't belong
It won't be long
Oblivion
Please take me

Hymns of awakening
I think I may be sick
Thinly veiled decadence
I've come to know the abyss
crescent moon
Pretends to be full
Sharing the hardships
For everyone to look
Devoid of genuine
It's hard to look anymore
Silver spoon
Riddled with a hole

Death's at my door again
Suddenly I am free wandering
The smile of Impermanence
Crosses me endlessly wondering
Trouble has marked me
As it's citizen to keep
Head full of turbulence
I will rise
Out of time into light
There's blood on your hands
Yet you claim innocence
It's cheap
Senseless like a sun
Quiet delusion
The blind leading the dumb
Death is a close friend
Life's an illusion
waiting for an end
Death's at my door again
Suddenly I am free wandering
The smile of Impermanence
Crosses my endlessly wandering
Trouble has marked me
As it's citizen to keep

Now this took me by total surprise as normally I keep away from "emo" and "screamo" as far as I can. But this is poetry made of sounds.

I don't know what to say... I have all their releases and each is perfect in different ways, but this might just be one of those rare albums that somehow goes beyond perfect and into the stratosphere swept away by the cosmic aether.. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do know if you don't buy this release, you will be missing out on something remarkable. Favorite track? Depends on the day and mood. Right now it's "Girls' Night Out" but tomorrow it may be "Peas".
