lyrics

Lay your words on me
your incentive is clear as always
and in someway it resembles, complacency.
Blinded by frustration, effortless attempts
to perpetuate your essence, fade away.

You struggle to find a balance
while rooted to misfortune and uncertainty.
I watched your world cave in and every step
you paved, only made things difficult, pace yourself.

Spiritually refrained
my head was playing games.
The need to make a change
tread lightly.
Don't wanna be refined
it feels I'm losing time
nows the time to try
tread lightly.

Lay your words on me
your incentive is clear as always
and in someway it resembles, complacency.
Blinded by frustration, effortless attempts
to perpetuate your essence, drift away.

you vanished without trace!
your spirit dissipates, you've driven yourself
into stasis, "dig deep!" is this what it's come
to pace yourself, mountains of turmoil

Spiritually refrained
my head was playing games.
The need to make a change
tread lightly.
Don't wanna be refined
it feels I'm losing time
nows the time to try tread lightly.

"If I lose you, then I lose myself"
"will I slip into, unconsciousness"
"or collapse before, it sets in''
"forgive me and forget me"

I couldn't save you!
And I'm left to deal with it.
May I slip into unconsciousness
before it sets.
Here we are once more
forgive me, forget me
my life is yours to destroy!

A la fois sincère,brut, voire même naïf, mais en même temps perfectionniste. Chaque riff n'est jamais répété plus de 2 fois, tout est émotion et dynamisme. Ca faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas ressenti ça en découvrant un groupe, qui plus est, local ! Un grand bravo! Laurent F
