Save my eyes from this scene
What I carved and killed myself to be
Matricidal design prying me from my hold on anything and everything
I’ve been dealing in lies and deceit
Fed from lines straight from the seams
This business is lithium, popped to prey my prime
What am I to do when I’m trying so hard to prove I’m real
If I could ever get things right I think I'd melt at every stall
And then I’d actually show the face behind this mask of bone and skin
And revel in the act of fear, asking why I just can't feel
I’m doing everything I can to understand what took you away from me
But at the end of it all, this is who I am
..
I really thought that I could change
Fire and cold contain me
Cascading explosions in the night remind me I’m so tired out
Of my life and this disease thats torturing my mind
I’ve been trained to behave behind these backshot eyes
But I need more
Let me burn before I sleep
I’m sitting on the edge
Trapped behind these walls
Strapped to my own fault
Left my time to rot
Bend and break foreplay
Dim the memories that once lit this tomb
An empty hourglass , buried in sand
Broken in time and loss
A ceiling stare from holes (left my time to rot)
Hope held him up for so long
It wrings him at the neck
And what will you say?
Desire another frame, to laugh and learn and love, when it’s hard enough to breathe ?
I can’t seem to give anymore away
I just need you to stay
Can we collide in the sky?
Fire and cold contain me
Cascading explosions in the night remind me I’m so tired out
Of my life and this disease thats torturing my mind
So tired out
Archspire is wholly unique for their ability to write music that is this insanely technical, but also actually catchy and memorable. Absolutely one-of-a-kind band. Kadin Wisniewski
i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
Featuring founding vocalist Jesse Zaraska for the first time since 2004, the Milwaukee veterans' seventh album is a metalcore monster. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 12, 2020
On their self-titled debut, Bhavachakra make black metal, flamenco guitar, and Liszt-like piano passages collide. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 17, 2016
This album reminds me of an immersive floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall painting. The kind that has a whole room to itself. It stands apart. Like most great art, part of this album's beauty lies in its accessibility. It is every bit as enjoyable to the neophyte as it is to any veteran of the genre. Here, catchiness and complexity--both instrumentally and lyrically--exist together, not necessarily in harmony but never in opposition of each other. Stand before this work and allow it to draw you in. Jan-Michael Archer
