lyrics

Unveiled condemnation
Untested transgression
Sudden supremacy
Laid bare before my eyes

Atrophied deep inside
Festering undenied
Reliving emptiness and guilt from down below

You cannot shut me out
I live among the shadows
Silently waiting till you close your eyes

I will cast a doubt
Consuming your reality
Unable to rid the path of dark debris

Plains of obscurity
Revealing all to me
Unkind and out of sight
Flinching and blind into the light
Something is wrong and I just cant seem to
Shake away this demon

You cannot shut me out
I’ve lived among the shadows
Quietly praying on your doubt and shame

I will cast a doubt
Degrading your reality
Unable to understand that I’m to blame

How could I
Convince myself that I am worthy of
Redemption
Salvation
This proclamation
A lie
____________________________

Leave me be
This silent war inside is killing me
Leave me here
The signs of pointlessness are ever clear
Was he right
I think about it every day and night
Is this me?
Or just an impulse of insanity
Please let the light wash over me
Patiently
I’ve waited all my life to finally see
Clearly
Caricature of separate entities
Familiar unfamiliarity

In the end, I was wrong
Hiding every truth and doubt inside all along
Running from the past so long I lost my way
No one can escape themselves

I’ve tried
God knows I’ve tried
Through your eyes
I saw a life held captive, paralyzed
Hiding from the light!
Looking back
It was in here all along
Blinding light, spanning beginning to end

This release just has this strong presence that grabs the listener's attention, yet doesn't feel overwhelming. Each track flows into the next flawlessly, so while they're all good on their own, their sum is next level. Great production! 乃　尺　乇　卂　ᗪ　丨　几　卂　ㄒ　ㄖ　尺

This album doesn't have guitar solos. It has guitar trips to outer space. Phenomenal! Mix the vocals louder! Shane Tølle
