FACE TURN
01:02
|

|
An arms length
To push away
Saved face,
Cold comfort and slow decay
Shadows grow longer
Through the day
A face turned
To look away
Paths to walk
And paths to stray
Lights to fade
And hearts to change
A moment of silence
It all falls apart again
And before you know it
You’re all on your own again

Panes of glass so imperfect
The image is distorted
What was once important
Fades into the distance
Faint familiarity
Absently, it follows me
We’ve been here before
In brief moments of clarity
The pieces left in all of us
Fragments of the past
Memories now incomplete
And never meant to last
At least this long
But they stay
And still remain
Unchanged

NIGHT OF CUPS
00:35
|
|||
|
It smashes to pieces every time
You pick them up but keep cutting your fingers
Once broken it’s so easy to break again
It won’t ever take the same shape again
Carelessness, and collected remnants
Fragile and familiar fragments
Thrown to the ground

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
00:44
|

|
Edges worn over time
I’m tracing their erased lines
Peering into empty eyes
Of faces I don’t recognise
Sailing for the ocean’s edge
Making maps of empty skies
Drawn towards the black horizon
But the wind has already died
I’ve carved a wooden sword to pierce the heavens
I’ve carved a wooden sword to fall on

PALIMPSEST
00:35
|
|||
|
Swimming in a sea of linens
I cave
Grass against the skin
Feelings to get lost in
But slipping away
And fading to black
Nothing takes me back
|
||||
6. |

|
I searched the darkness
But our eyes wouldn’t meet
We drank deep from emptiness
And both ceased to be
What was left in there
When everything else disappeared
The waning glow of the streetlamps
Reminds me of that light disappearing
But still here we are breathing
The warmth of our breath fills the empty space between
There’s a quiet I can hear
As I wonder, how long we’ve spent here
Was the air always this cold
Were the nights always this long

Insane album. Had to buy it as soon as I heard it and is honestly a 2023 AOTY contender for me. The lyrics are so simple yet evocative and the music is a vicious scream for change in a unchanging world and contempt for the way everything is and seemingly will be/has been for all of our history. I heard Deathless before this and this just absolutely blows it out of the water.
