lyrics

I’ve been running for miles and miles and miles, looking for a safe place to hide.
But the fear crawling up my spine whispers that the creature is only one step behind me.
Take my heart and divide it among the thieves.
Bury my bones beneath the doubt and repressed memories.
I know I need to ask for help but my throat can't swallow my pride.
And I’m convinced that the ghosts locked inside my thoughts will stop at nothing just to watch me die.
Grind my bones with your mechanical teeth.
Hide my soul in the graveyard beneath.
Take my heart and divide it among the thieves.
Bury my bones beneath the doubt and repressed memories.
Take my heart.
Bury my bones.
Cut the throat of the only thing that makes us unique.
Bite off our tongues, lest we learn to communicate when we speak.
Pull the roots out from beneath my lungs
Burn the life from the husk of what I am.
Strike a match, set me on fire, ignite the walls that divide our souls.
We are alone.
The weight of my regrets is too much for my frail body to bare.
So dig an open mouth into the earth, and lay my bones in there.
We are all alone hiding in the comfort of our own homes.
We are all alone singing the same song.

Like the previous album, the music's atmosphere is thick, hanging in the air like oppressive humidity, electric guitars busily buzzing away, led by tasteful yet pounding drumwork. And, just like the last album, despite having music that could easily be droning nonsense, the band decided to be a cut above almost every other band by actually having beautiful, captivating melodies from end to end. Almost every song is a winner. If you like Air, you'll like this one. Highly recommended. Selrisitai
