It's always the same place I find myself in.
Stranded by the tides of idle belief.
Just to get me through.
Shackled by the chains of thoughts that plague my mind and empty my lungs.
These words are more than I expect from you.
Build it up to break it down; a game that I have learned to lose.
Your voice alone is burning me alive.
Just to forget you.
Walk down the same path every time, knowing it's just a dead end.
For this I've learned to be hopeless.
Lost at sea.
I let go and I began to sink.
Drowning in regret.
Rub the salt in open wounds.
Repay the silence I stole from you.
Through all this honesty I felt the blade against my back.
It was so hard to see I had a rope around my neck.
I let go and I began to sink.
Drowning in regret.
Shackled by the chains of thoughts that plague my mind and empty my lungs.
These words are more than I expect from you.
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
