negative creep This is like old Walls of Jericho but better, more satisfying riffs and breakdowns; also the singer has great clean vocals.

This band would have made the Trustkill roster easily. Favorite track: Dostoyevsky vs. the Long Island Sound.

jtknowles One of the best releases I have heard in quite a while. Grabbed me by the throat, kneed me in the groin, kicked me while I was down - then picked me up, hugged me, kicked me in the ass one more time and was gone. I want more.

Ruminations 02:41
Obsessions Compulsions Preoccupied with what comes next Fear of death Fear of life Renders me paralyzed Catatonia sets in Seconds of eternity Lifetimes lost in a moment Face the futility of coping With the reality that life is just a near death experience Lost all control Walls closing in Stolen will Antithesis of a lucid dream Intangible Shackles Bind me To this nightmare My time is up My time is up Strangled by the ticking hands of a clock Confined to the rows of a calendar
2.
I wanted to Be everything You envisioned When you closed your eyes But my desire To fill the hole Within your heart Burned right through me Desaturated Filtered through your lens, my colors muted Still trying to Find what went wrong Like searching for The last piece of a puzzle that was missing all along I can't fix you You can't fix you Desaturated I'm slowly fading My love is wasted on you
3.
"Can you feel this?" Four words reassociate One kiss awakens Two forms misaligned Anchored to a bed, My body the shore Your hands, like waves, Washing over the wreckage of others Yet leaving your own Receding into nothingness Left to drift again Feeling your absence Drowning in your depths "Who else would I love?" Words meant to move me I guess they did; Maybe not in the way you intended You came as a stranger Just a station on your way
4.
Head fills with static Vision goes blank Mind goes to panic Here in it's wake, I lie Flash of red Veil of white There is no catalyst There is no control Miswired Poorly designed Destined to malfunction Tear my flesh just to stay alive Not an escape from reality, but to A need to feel Prove that I'm fucking real
5.
The world would stop turning Before I stopped loving you When I wake up beside you My heart aches Knowing this will never be what it is to me to you Still waters run deep But these depths have crushed me with the weight The tide will wash me back in Storms can weather me through eternity The world would stop turning Before I stopped loving you When I wake up beside you My heart aches Knowing this will never be what it is to me to you
6.
I feel you passing through me Grasping two hands tied to nothing The comfort falls Beyond my reach False phrases agitated By faulty, forlorn faces All words lose their meaning As our lives collide Time-proven knowledge, defied Protective, set path, decried Keep feeding on the disconnect Breed silence only meant for death Like watching your life on a screen; Not living, but acting out scenes Written for someone not me Scripted with worn out themes I take their word for life's meaning Pretend to indulge in the things They said I've always been missing Choke on phrases I repeat Look at my face and tell me what I should be Emptiness has chained us to eternity Look at my face and tell me what I should be Emptiness has chained us to eternity Look at my face and tell me what I should be Emptiness has chained us to eternity Lie to my face and tell me what this should be The truth in this has made them all my enemies Maybe someday I will find The means for this escape
