how much resentment?
how much disdain?
the palest hue bleeds eternal
500 days of rain
grieving for the loss of a person i've thought to have known
though i'm familiar with the face before me
what's behind these eyes is unrecognizable
life preserved
blade too dull
the light in my chest has gone out
a wooden stake piercing my skull
500 days of drought
a memory of a figure i can't place
a fragment fading into obscurity
i showed you my truest me
you showed me your truest betrayal
what a shame, after everything, i let it happen again
500 days, now everything's changed
500 days, now nothing's the same
Cut short in death by the cruelty of life
a time we thought would last forever
with each passing year
slipping further through our fingertips like sand through a sifter
I dream of a time we shared, time so far away
it may as well never have happened at all
dear god how i miss the warmth, we only did what we had to
well i hope that you found what you were searching for
I sleep under the grace of whispers
rain soaks the earth
her spirit in black in my doorway
motionless, speechless
no sound moves the stillness
when will she take me with her to our final end?
a love cut short in death by the cruelty of life
at long last, you brought the changing of seasons
you are the summer that drove out the cold
you're the summer
your shining light will lead me steadfast into winter's cold veins
your warmth gives me refuge from the frigid air biting my neck
i drown in your radiance
long since i've felt whole
long since i've been safe
i feel both in our silence
illuminate my path by night
your guiding light willing, i will arrive by morning's first light
my heart beats to the cadence of your speech
at long last to drown in your radiance
don't let your shining light grow dim
i am following it home
springtime has cleared the winter snow
never again will i feel that darkness
your unyielding light
colors of carnelian glow from beneath the waters, shades of red shine just enough light, to guide me back to you.
as thy love burns itself in the distance
each separate dying ember flails to the ground
and dances upon the soil
to celebrate the end
my fate has dwindled to dying
for my fate lay only with you
a soliloquy event that turned my heart to glass
and shattered in my chest
nights drawn as black as it was
days gone by
never asking
did it feel as real to you
as it always felt to me
my fate has dwindled to dying
for my fate lay only with you
a soliloquy event that turned my heart to glass
and shattered in my chest
a fable
retold
never once
the same
this is farewell my beautiful visitor
and my days are but a trance
as i wait to dream of you again
those dreams too bright to last
where she walks in beauty like the night
and twirls down with me to the earth
to embrace once more
as i wait to dream of you again
those dreams too bright to last
my grief stricken memoirs still speak of your sins
yet still i would die for you
but passion lies
andthese secrets die with me
my sprite of love now lay in her sleep of death
i begin my descent into your absence
i weep as i wait to join her eternal in twlight
i will not rest until the sun sets on that day
and what symphony of love will engulf me
i pray for death as i dream of what forever may bring
the warmth of life will never satisfy my pleading
what of these empty chapters
emptied and forgotten
my indulgence in your poison
will end all of this
devoted
to you
thousands of days ive waited
patience for the freezing air
hoping for forgiveness
these days soon will come to an end
the pity of an angel cannot spare me from death
a moment of serenity that haunts my every waking second
the fields of rotting flowers you left for me
something i fooled myself to believe was real
along this treelined path i will walk forever
searching for something i will never find
i loved you
silence screamed from your body in response
and still i love you
your haunted eyes i cant unsee
as souls cry out for me from beneath the earth
thousands of days ive cherished
the thought of your heartfelt embrace
and i begin to burn from the inside
angels mourning, falling from the sky
i will never forget you
my hell is my existence, your absence and nothing more.

Too good to be true. This record flawlessly captures the spirit of my favourite era in Metalcore, while still sounding fresh. It doesn't even feel like a revival of an era or a certain sound, it's almost like this EP is a part of it and always has been. Timeless! mynameismud
