lyrics

I was dying last week
That's what the journal said
Despite the dried-up hands and breaking skin
I'm the worst I've ever been

I don't see my friends no more
Just the thought makes me recoil
I know the air they breathe is volatile
I think I'll be here for a while

Because my welfare is in check
I feel decaying as we speak
Time's moving too fast and too slow all at once
Like how it eats up at your cheeks

And forgoes all common sense
Makes you abandon ship
I know it's really hard when the contrast's this stark
I think I might just sink away

But in a world with forest fires and hurricanes
I still come undone
With made-up ills and perfect features
I still come undone

Time falls
And in place, it spins
Fear holds you
Holds you back
Takes the reins
It's procedure
In memories
We will be whole

But in a world with forest fires and hurricanes
I still come undone
With made-up ills and perfect features
I come undone
But what if I look too hard and make it true
I won't have no repose
And if I do this too much more
I won't know me at all

The album opens with the soft, almost hymnal chords from a piano, building at times to melodic cacophony (complimentary) before settling back down in it's final track. The vivid lyricism and powerful vocals throughout are incredible. Well worth picking up!! Sav
