Guilt.

Guilt sets in
Have we forgotten what we came to do here?
A noble effort, but nothing gained
Just spit in the face of the occupation
We could’ve done more, we could’ve done more
We could’ve done more, we could’ve done more
We could’ve done more, we could’ve done more

Where Are the Forgivers?
03:12
|

I’ve seen the transgressors
With intentions pure like so many angels
And I’ve sat with holy men whose hearts were cold as stones
Lost and abandoned
Lost and abandoned the same as us all, as us all
Everyone is hanging by a thread
And when the lights go out, we’re all as good as dead
Our deeds are known by name
We are all unforgivable
You are not machines
You are not cattle
And you are not saints
You are men
And you were not born with this hate
There is a darkness that we cannot overcome
Our eyes are screaming and bloody and tired
As we’re searching for the sun
Everyone is hanging by a thread
And when the lights go out
We’re all good as dead
As good as dead when the lights go out
We’re all good as dead
All as good as dead
All as good as dead
Where are the forgivers?
Where are the forgivers?
Where are the forgivers?
We are all unforgivable
Where are the forgivers?
We are all unforgivable
Forgive
Forgive

Words aren’t coming like they used to
But I’ve got to write it all down
I’ve got to remember
What it felt like to be
Desperate
Anything but prodigal
Hopeless
And unaccounted for
Black clouds, storming over me
Regression, regression, regression
Black clouds, storming over me
Regression, regression, repeat
Will I have no songs left to sing?
Will I have no songs left to sing?
We only exist in what we create
So I’ll bull through the barriers
Screaming, “I’m still here”
Though I can see you
Still, I know I’ve wandered
Hold me still
‘Cause I can’t keep from shaking every time I think about where it is that we came from
Keep us
Guide us
Until the end of time
’Til the end of time
And I won’t wait for this to be over
Mend it together
Keep us true

Afraid to Follow

I see white lights
Slipping through cold eyes
See how they’ve all replaced
Feelings with disgrace
Oh, no
They followed
Am I to bear the blame?
I cannot say I did not hear
I heard, I heard, I heard them
Marching cross the hills to God knows where
Never again will their faces be seen here
They all have long past gone
But I am the one who stayed
‘Cause I’ve seen, and I know
Oh, I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I am the one who stayed
And I know they won’t come home
I’ve seen, and I know
I know they won’t come home
I can hear their distant voices
Singing low beyond the hill
Had I been led to different choices
Could I have ended it myself?
I can hear their distant voices
Singing low beyond the hill
Had I been led to different choices
Could I have ended it myself?

Lost Like You

Not a broken record
Just a broken man
Whose cracks are starting to show
Piece myself together
At least the best I can
Dead by morning
I’ll be dead by morning
I’ve said it before
And I’m saying it now
It’s just one of those things that I’ve come to find
That we are not all born alive
Dead by the morning
I’ll be dead by the morning
I’ve been swallowing blood in my sleep
For the better part of a year
Just to wash the bad dreams down
Wash the bad dreams down
Running over those words
I think you said to me
You said to me
“Let all things come to pass”
I don’t think I can see
Why you’d even find me here at all
I always thought I’d be gone by now
So lost and gone
And dead and gone
And I don’t have the answers
I am barely getting by
Just a headstone with a blank face
For the date to be inscribed
To be inscribed
And if it comes for you
I hope it comes for everyone
And if it comes for you
I’ve been swallowing blood in my sleep
For the better part of a year
Just to wash the bad dreams down
Wash the bad dreams down
Running over those words
I think you said to me
You said to me
“Let all things come to pass”
I need you to follow
But please don’t follow me
Don’t follow
I need you to follow
But please don’t follow me
Don’t follow
This is a road I’ve walked before
I took those steps
I walked through that door
And it led me nowhere
This is a road I’ve walked before
I took those steps
I walked through that door
And it led me nowhere
For I once was lost like you

Eyes forward, icy exodus
Move with the striations
‘Cause time is always pulling
With every intention
Of ripping us all to shreds
Our time is always pulling
It’s time and it’s time
And it’s over and over
The pile keeps piling
And no one can let it go
A ledger of profit and loss
We are all alone together
A mass of wandering enemies
We have spread ourselves too thin
We are all alone
Count me as one of the lost
Count me as one of the lost
Count me as one of the lost
Count me as one of the lost
Count me as one of the lost
For I am named and numbered
There’s no escape for me
There’s no escape for me
Count me as one of the lost
For I am named and numbered
There’s no escape for me
There’s no escape for me
Oh, when the irony graves us all
Return me to
The mother of all the things that have gone
Oh, so horribly wrong
Left alone to wander the coast
When I was plucked from the arms of the sea
And I just thought that you’d already know
That my feet would return to me
Icy wind at my back
You are the chill in the bones of all living earth
Carry my steps onward
Carry me onward
Summer has come and gone
Find me now in the throes of winter
And when the mountains thaw
I will be the lone resistance
Summer has come and gone
Find me now in the throes of winter
And when the mountains thaw
I alone will be the resistance

Ragged Claws

Maybe I spoke too soon
There’s no forgiveness in me
Oh, for the life in me
I just can’t finish what I started
There is a light at the end of the beach
and it’s burning far out of reach
And I have heard the mermaids singing softly each to each
As they turned their backs on me
Nobody sings to me
Nobody at all
Nobody sings back to me
Nobody sings back at all
Maybe I spoke too soon
Let me linger in the chambers
Lead me to silent seas
Be gone my timid nature
‘Cause I just can’t finish what I started
Nothing is safe
Nothing is home
Nothing is comfortable
Nothing is safe
Nothing is home
Nothing is comfortable
I screamed about a fire
But nobody ran to me
I called to the choir
But nobody sang to me
I don’t want to love
And I don’t want to leave
That’s a bill I don’t have pockets to pay
I have been counting all my friends
When I should
Should have been counting on
Oh, no, I spoke too soon
I have been counting all my friends
When I should
Should have been counting on my friends
Oh, no, I spoke too soon
I’ve been counting all my friends
When I should
Should have been counting on my

When All Is Safe

When all is safe
When all is silent
And in its place
Is when I know

I miss the shadows
I miss the complacency
Spoons to my eyes and take my sight
I do not want to see
There is a light
Burning
Behind the black clouds
And it burns and it burns and it burns
And it burns and it burns and it burns and it burns
I have seen my greatness flicker
After the lights went out
I used to shoulder the flame
But what do I carry now?
I have seen my greatness flicker
After the lights went out
I used to shoulder the flame
But what do I carry now?
What do I carry now?
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I built my walls up high
And watched my kingdoms fall
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I built my walls up high
And watched my kingdoms fall
I was a towering man
Lording over all
I will be true to you
I will, I will
I will be true to you
I will, I will
I will be true to you
I will, I will
Whatever comes
And I will be true to you
Whatever, whatever comes
Oh, I’ve shamed and dishonored it all
I dishonored it all
I want nothing
I am nothing
I could’ve done more
I could’ve done more

Everything, oh, everything
Oh, everything you do
Is to feed what’s living inside of you
Anger and love, and love and anger
Oh, who will you feed now?
Keep reciting
Keep reciting
Keep reciting
Keep reciting
Forgive, forgive
Forgive, forgive
Forgive, forgive
Forgive, forgive
Forgive
Where are the forgivers?
Where are the forgivers?
Where are the forgivers?
Stop the beat of my own heart
Just to find a way back
Nothing ends, nothing starts
And nobody grows

Fantastic EP, some of their best stuff. No Rest is just amazing, one of their best songs.

Castle in the Clouds

Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic.

Another satisfying dose of metallic, sludgy melodic post-hardcore from the Newcastle, Australia-based outfit.
