lyrics

Waiting
On cobblestones outside
Waving at apparitions
There's no one there

I'll walk the path at the pace you set
And wipe the tears that fall
And hum the songs that carry you on
Those same melancholy tunes that we all bleed

But my feet won't stay under me
And all the air keeps fleeing
And my courage gone

It only takes one step
It only takes one breathe

Door opens in protest
Weather worn and swollen to the frame
As light pierces darkness the vermin retreat to the walls

Look to the leaves as the wind blows them in
See them dance across the floor
The percussion of branches the song birds who sing
The leaves they're still dancing
….Elsa…..

Will i forget his face?
As i walk across the fugue
Will his voice be familiar?

You disesteem his memory
You disesteem your love
You disesteem your love

Do i read through the journals you left behind?
Did you know how much i cared?
Will i read that you resented me?
The brother who wasn't there
The brother who wasn't there

Of all the portraits and tomes
Strewn about the room
Of all the portraits and tomes
Strewn about the room
A single boon
We were teenage boys with smiles the world won't touch

Your likeness graces no bust
In temple halls and homes
Or cemetery stones

There are no ballads wrote, or sonnets sung
Your song is in the leaves, ill carve you in the trees

The Anaesthete

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme. brineryte
