lyrics

You believed everything you wanted,
I wouldn't know,
I controlled everything you couldn't,
You never knew,

We're spiralling through this,
This loss of our identity,
You, I, Never

You breathe lies,
Or so it seems,
A vague try to force it on myself,
This meaning,
Found only to me,
This feeling,
A trapped and lonely guide,

This is bleeding through the ground,
A siren silenced through my ignorance,
Still cycling through this,
Your relentless obsession will only get you so far,
And you're fighting against all the reasons for change,
Your painted body,

You breathe lies,
Or so it seems,
A vague try to force it on myself,
This meaning,
Found only to me,
This feeling,
A trapped and lonely guide.

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
