Tell me, do you see me in your dreams
Is there an underlying theme to this insanity
The past you left behind you
For a future that is undefined
A better life is something you will not find
This crushing depression
That has plagued you all your life
Has now swallowed me whole
All the stories we read as kids
Never told us that happy endings hurt like this
I think I’m finally ready to end it all
Tell me, was this river so dry
So barren and drained
That you knew it was void of life
Will you ever be okay
Or will things constantly be the same
Can you live like this, day after day
Can you please tell me
What is the point of being here
If the best part of me was never meant to stay
Now the only songs that are sung
Are whispered from brown bottles with love
Telling me whats left to come isn’t worth it
The only affection I feel
Is the warmth from a promise to completely heal
With a kiss on the neck from this coarse rope
Can you tell me, are you restless at night
Are you gasping for air when you turn out the lights
Could you hear me when I was on my knees
Begging to be free from my anonymity
Did you see me on my rapid descent
Or did you notice that your hands are red
You know, this was never how I thought it would end
Tell me, when you stand at my grave
Do you still tell yourself that you made no mistakes

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
