lyrics

Trapped in a fake minority
Conspire to gain posterity
Back and forth just vacillate
Fruitless try to motivate
Your only purpose, your own ambition is enchantment
Intrigue, confuse, orchestrate your own entrapment

Bound to stagnation, drown in excuses
Condemned to live under the veil of ignorance and deprivation
Let's compromise, accept their triumph
In this embezzled life

When solid words stand for nothing
Corrupted thoughts dictate the play
Define the substance of existence

Confront the lie, suspicion's raised
A threat that comes, ambush of mind, a sound that lures but we stay blind
Let's compromise, accept their triumph
In this embezzled life

Undermining hopes emerge from floods
Corrosion of judgement floats on mud
Nothing stays rigid, a glimmer of hope

Forever Gone!

Bound to stagnation, drown in excuses
Condemned to live under the veil of ignorance and deprivation
(When) solid words stand for nothing,
Corrupted thoughts dictate the play
Defined the substance of existence

One of the best modern prog metal groups out there... Even their freshmen years were absolutely fantastic... Great EP... One of the only bands I'm truly saddened by, knowing I don't have their music on vinyl... "hint, hint" enemyofthenight

I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ

I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching. Alice M.
