about

By nature, we're easily attracted to the easy way out. The truth is, things that seem easily attainable are a trap for further suffering. The real challenge is being here now, unless you can’t.

lyrics

Steady your hands
To sink like a stone
Breathe like
The calm you could

Corral the tones
Telepathy moans
The light through the
Cold dark sphere

Adjoin the seams
Full patterns
Will gleam the glowing
Remains of light

You can’t steal
The light side of day
You can’t be wrong
And miss the mistake

Avoid the narrow remorse
The scraping metal grind spark
Of all the courage that’s lost
When you slip in

We watch the stones do it
When they just sink

Go curse your sleep
While the beating hearts beat
A dark pool
Of silt and blood

Your transparent stance
In the historic dance
Of removing
The blame from you

A gallop
At halt a
Tumultuous balk
While the victim stands in the mirror

You can’t steal
The light side of day
You can’t be wrong
And miss the mistake

Avoid the narrow remorse
The scraping metal grind spark
Of all the courage that’s lost
When you slip in

We watch the stones do it
When they just sink
