Hating
06:48
|

When the pain of hating fades
There is only the relief
of indifference how it grows
Apathy engulfs
Fresh water as it flows
To my past, the sea
Accustomed to the burn of salt
I sip this infectious tea

Landless
12:46
|

Weakling cannot hold the waves;
The wind, the sand.
Captive, screaming at the sea;
Tremor in my hand.
Landless
Weakling, as your disenchantment grows;
Buds of rage seek the sun.
You are the captive, diminished at the stern;
Hardened is your gaze.
Darkness
Forth
Landless

Hold My Breath
08:06

They claim majesty is in the terror you reign
Hold my breath
And the weak have the greatest price to pay
Hold my breath
With everything we watch and do and say
Hold my breath
They have taken the rippling hills
They have plundered the fruited plain
Hold my breath
They have sold our souls for a dying wage
Hold my breath
Your critical gaze
Butchers my days
Your critical gaze
Caught in a maze
You're critical
You're critical
I hold my breath

The Mortal's Suite
03:13
|

Does it please the chorus?
I have found my own ground
Does the feast gnaw us?
Wrestled down, not a sound
In our times we dare not stir
Conviction’s missing lure
We dare not speak with her breath
For that would be too close to death

Touch Me
08:45
|
|||
Barren boughs arch over our heads
Moved by the wind
They bend or break
Touch me
Shattered numb reaction to gale or gentle breeze
Don't prefer one or the other
Trees withstand whims and chance
Touch me
Your love permeates We say the words
Your love decimates We feel the twinge
There is pain in being true We say the words
There is pain in knowing you Lack of progress

Eight Bells Portland, Oregon
"Wraithlike vocals and numbed melodies hanging over pinprick prog fretwork... The pulse of ethereal '70s rock – from Pink
Floyd to Hawkwind's more celestial moments... Dual vocal lines emanate from some unseen place, sometimes braided together in a conjoined plea for connection... Heartbreakingly beautiful."
–Pitchfork
