lyrics

This is a year of falling down,
(You lied)
Ridiculous and stubborn,
Taking the blame for what I once hated,
A crack in the sky reveals its intention
And screams at the ground,
Taking the care for which I have traded,

A slow forming wound buried in the skin,
Finds it's way out into open arms,
A crack in the soul,
A stain on the glass,
It's time I stop fighting it and wait for it at last,

Time it will find it's waking way into my arms,
And save me at last,
But as I wait here I find myself falling,
Into a shame circle I cannot shake,
A fork in the road,

A slow forming wound buried in the skin,
Finds it's way out into open arms,
A crack in the soul,
A stain on the glass,
It's time I stop fighting it and wait for it at last,

Slipping through pathways of no resistance,
Sliding through all that you know,
Access the point where you feel yourself falling,
No that there's no way out of here,

A slow forming wound buried in the skin,
Finds it's way out into open arms,
A crack in the soul,
A stain on the glass,
It's time I stop fighting it and wait for it at last,

It's forming in front of my eyes,
Resolve and take control of a life blessed by which I cannot describe.

I was extremely hyperfixated on this album a couple years back. not as much as me with Long Season by Fishmans rn but it was a big obsession. listening to it again, it's still just as good now I love it so much omg honourable mentions: keeping stone water awake, known, unturning. katsumashi

I remember hearing this album way back when it just came out, listening to it on YT on repeat. And now I have it in 2022 on CD! Excellent for fans of prog metal, with a nice balance of genres. PunkGalFury

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
