And suddenly, what seemed so real
simply fades from memory
A necessary step in
embracing reality
That first breath
the way it fills, my lungs
It serves to remind me
remind me I'm alive
How cruel, to take me from my home
and lead me back here
to what I can only call
my personal hell
(Iridescent, the light shines
my beacon, the reason
that I am not a ghost, any longer
I'm alive, I'm alive)
Do you see, what it's like to be
stuck like a prisoner trapped in their body?
It's okay, just the day-to-day
misery, mockery, ill-guided fate
Destiny, so specifically
picked me to scar up the family tree
and I must, for a lack of trust
do it before I'm reduced to dust
I only want
something to call my own
the kiss, of success
my, legacy
(But I digress)
Somewhere deep down, I know I deserve this
Every single second that I waste is killing me, I just can't seem to let this go
Cause I'd rather be a ghost, than lie with a cross above my head
I am not a saint, and I don't claim to be
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. JAY DYER
