I'm still the one who lives by
Pointless future, hollow life,
Meaningless surrounded me,
Why I'm supposed to care?
Forgive my question, but
Such irrelevant being
Sharp point of circle, catch me,
By the nonsense
Sharp point of circle, rounded me
End the nonsense
With the nonsense
I know it's shallow,
Hard to swallow
I know it's shallow,
Hard to swallow
Prize anesthesia
Rhyme excitation
Prize anesthesia
When something inside, threw out
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breath
Don’t forget to…
I’m surrounded by the nonsense
The edge is coming now…
I know, I know… I know...
Hear me out, if you care now
We have to crawl,
Don't interrupt,
One rule to behave,
One to keep what left,
Only dust,
Monetize
Remain alive or… die
Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
So Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to
I know.. i know… I know…
Grin so falsely
Turn down reprimand
I know
I know!
Alive!

Listen my child, listen my child.
Listen… son
So, do what you wanted to
You’re just a broken vessel
A devastated glass
But I, never wanted to
Never intended to
Make you gone
So clear, be afraid of heights
Broke and devastated
Slither into gap
Always afraid
Always scared
Never stressed enough
Always tired
Unable to be
Never stressed enough
Shivers down my spine
It sound like
You could use
Some help right now
No labour no money
Make this one count!
But I, never wanted to
Never intended to
Make you gone
So clear
Be afraid of heights
Broke and devastated
Slither into gap
It sound like…
You could use…
Some help right now…
No work, no money
Make this one, make this one… make this one
Count.

I see,
I can feel it comes
So bright yet so empty
I’m just a little bit curious
Why one spark left
I feel it comes…
I feel it comes..
I feel a little bit curious
What may be
What can’t I fight with
What may be
And can’t I be with
I feel a little bit curious
What may be
Push me to the place where
I could feel
One with another
I cannot see
What may be
-----------------------
What surrounds me give me scars
Within blood flow and the vein
Farewell my friend, don’t be scared
I will see you once again.
------------------------
I’m numb
I’m faceless,
I’m scared just like you
Why shouldn’t you?
Why shouldn’t I?
Why-o-why?
Shouldn’t you, shouldn’t I, be just a little bit scared?
….That testifies we are human…
I feel a little bit curious
What may be
What can’t I fight with
What may be
And can’t I be with
I feel a little bit curious
What may be
Push me to the place where
I could feel
One with another
And that brings me joy to see that you… may feel It too..
What surrounds me,
Give me scars,
That soon will widen
Farewell my friend
Why shouldn’t you?
Why shouldn’t me?
Farewell my friend!

Throw out my invitation from
Obsolete part of me
Where myself begin to grow
Independent, yet so frustrated
My own little part of you
Where I could meet you in person
You were the only one who listened to me
You were only one who cared
Enough to let me go
You were only one of kind
Of enemy that I could find
Yet so helpful
Yet so dead inside
So let me invite you once again
To accomplish what we may do
I’ve known you forever
Come close to me,
Don’t be afraid
I’ll defend you from the ones,
Of your kind, so
Come close to me.

Matter torn apart
Nodes try to split
Truth confuses lies
Lies become the truth
Nothing changes „i am”
So, my mistress, come
Bond me with the earth,
And swallow my heritage
Blend with me
My remedy is your compassion
I saw your
Gift for me
From my own
Intimacy
I know you
I see you
Womb of my
Deeply hidden privacy
You tore me down once again,
Just to see my reaction
Every inch of life
I gave to you
Every inch of life
You tore down
What we may be,
Never stops to amaze me

Make a move to silence
Vision change a way
Body tries to find
Another way around
Another way inside
Keep your silence open
Open to unknown
Head into the crossroads
Remember to find your way
Life will find a way
Make a move to silence
Vision change a way
Body tries to find
Another way around
Another way inside
Remember to find your way
Life will find a way
Crawl outside line
Beyond what we may know
Find one way answer
To find your crystal place
Life will find a way.

So strong
So cold
Sense cold,
Shaking – hold
Jittery on
My own apperception
So, fold, into making
Hold on,
Feel like you
Never gonna make it
But here I am
Moving slow
Unable to
Make you prominent

Vanity chose the will
For those who hasn’t got their own
Desire what may be
Desire what you want to be, and
Desire leads you through
Oppression – Overstain
Delusional notion
Delusional
Believe in what you see
Believe in what you see
Believe in what you want to see, and
You stuck inside the hole
Stuck in hollow state
Deep inside the hole
Deep inside the hole on your own
Deep inside
So deep inside
Overcomplicated state
That’s where you belong
Only to find the truth,
Light may show us way,
Since nothing much left to do,
Wallow in your own despair.
Spare me from irrational expectations,
If there’s nothing you can do,
If there’s nothing you can do
I-High-Eye
One day I may join you,
But hopefully not today.
I only live in my, warm arrogance,
Nothing to do or care about,
Brave presumption

I know you well
Living behind my…
My curious eye
You said so
My burden needs to grow
I must feel alive, so please,
Make me know
How it is , to be in your skin
Make me know
I'm still breathing
Make me realize
You touched me with love
You say so often that you have a plan
But you just want to see me down
I know that you feel
Just a little bit, turned on
I know you kink
I enjoy looking at you too .
It sound so wrong, but it feels so right,
to be alive
when you pushed me
into your own sign of love
stop with "all this pain"
just keep pushing till I die
till I die
So similar, yet so different
You said so
You said so, i know.
This wound looks familiar
I know the one who made this,
So widen, widen, widen, trying to
Convince me
For one more cut
I know that you enjoy it
So similar yet so different
You said so
Said so
You
Get out of my sight!

Dissonance (is) pulling away all my onus
(because) Pride crawled to me
Perplexity (of) alternative solution
Fawn and creep (I)
Fawn to you
I do not see why you shouldn’t be so fragile
I do not see why you shouldn’t have a burden
Be my tolerance
Be my misfortune
Be my sorrow
Be outspoken mistress
Be my grace
Be my anger
Be my disappointment
I see another chance for you
Abyss freedom - reason
By the night have spoken
I still find it so funny,
Even when the dark times are coming
Coming… Coming
I saw that in you
I do not see why you shouldn’t be so fragile
I do not see why you shouldn’t have a burden
All alone…
On your own…
If that’s your choice…
If that’s your choice…
That’s your choice…

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
