lyrics

Faith in me is like a hollow glass
After twenty years, you still hold hate inside your heart
The scent of white wine fills the air each time you pass
Judgment and neglect was what tore this family apart
I’d hang you both from the highest noose
No stool to guide your feet
There never should have been any emotional abuse
Our family could have been more discreet
You have no part in my future; you’ve made it this way
I chose to make myself happy and lay you, my creator, in your grave
You are no longer my mother, but now a piece of the earth, as you decay
I’ve buried you next to your groom, whom I had no intention to save
Did he manipulate your thoughts of me?
I bet he took every positive word you said and made you choke on them

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
