I have been wondering for sometime now When I could show myself seven days more Just took that one thing, the one by your side The only one I am your brother I am your mother I am your father Listen I am your god

We just keep on doping and doping the blood of our children To silence them To silence them And shut them up And if we keep on suppressing The blood of our children We'll build up pressure We'll build up pressure And we'll just sit back watching exploding Exploding, as children become Incapable and sick and fucking tired Of this problem that's gone unsolved And they turn into shooters and rapists and mass-fuckin'-murderers While we all just sit here Doping A biological war's been waged by us Within the veins and the brains of our children Creating weapons of chemical suppression and reliance Which turns into unchecked violence Prescriptions for blue little ovals With magic answers in small orange bottles With a list of side effects longer than the damn receipt And this deceit that we can defeat Depression by suppression and calmed emotions Will pull us under And tear asunder The lives of our children Who dope themselves With magic ovals

Deep-Rooted 04:14
I'm tormented constantly By a deep-rooted melancholy Only for me to wallow in my misery Only for me to suffer eternally For if there is a god, What a failure he must be As we cry out in his name Our tears fall helpless in the sea I am my own god I devour myself And all my dreams And everything I wanted to be I'm tormented constantly By a deep-rooted melancholy Only for me to wallow in my misery Only for me to suffer eternally For if there is a god, What a failure he must be As we cry out in his name Our tears fall helpless in the sea I am my own god I devour myself And all my dreams And everything I wanted to be There's so much that I could be But I lie beneath the tree I'll be buried underneath Lying deep within a sleep And haunted by my dreams There's always somewhere better than here

Don't touch me Getting up will make it worse I'll just sink faster, that's just how it works Please help me Before I can make it worse But I can't change it, that's not how it works I'm drowning in quicksand I'm choking on smoke God, give me an exit Or I'll make one myself I can't really be here This must be a dream Aim right between my brows And end this for me My stupid fucking brain Always gets me in shit like this But do I really need it? Do I really need anything? Do I really need anything? Do I really need anything? Do I need it? Body parts for sale Body parts for sale Liquidation sale Body parts for sale Body parts for sale Tear my organs out Turn my bones to xylophones Just get it all away Get it all away Get it all away Shoot me Shoot me in the fucking head Stop the world, I'm getting off

God, I need this God, I need you Please don't fail me I need this now If I can't have anything else ever again Then please only give me this I'll move mountains and level the ground in my wake If you'll only give me my way I'll steal, I'll bleed, I'll kill I'll die I'll do Whatever you need me to do I'll kill my neighbor I'll kill my brother I'll kill my father I'll kill my god I'll kill myself It's fine I'm fine I've tried I tried It'll be alright If I can learn to live without What I build the winds collapse What I grow the rats consume What I pray for never comes Who I worship never shows Poisoned by lead that I have mined Contaminating will and mind I've searched so wide only to find I'm powerless, so why try?

God damn this great expanse Between the world and I Between my future and all I have left behind God damn the learning curve Required on this Earth Required to be studied and then thrown into the hearth I can't live with this impossible ceiling Pushing me into the sea My heavy heart keeps sinking Shielding me from all I could be And I can't help but to succumb to the annealing Crushing me beneath your feet Sounding horns in my defeat Every day I get a little bit closer to the life of which I've dreamed Every night that overcomes throws me further into requisite insanity

Watercolor 08:00
I yearn to paint the open sky Boundless and unending I want to go into the clouds And learn the colors of the gods I want to sculpt the rolling hills That comfort those above the ground And bury those that lie below On cotton clouds I rest at night I float on top of vapor high Comforted by thunder bed On which I rest my troubled head But it rains And floods the fields And blacks the skies It floods inside Mixing the colors in my soul But it rains And floods the fields And blacks the skies It floods inside Mixing the colors in my soul

Arkhipov 11:41
I want one day where I don't wanna bomb the sun Just once I want a day where I can stand to breathe I sleep in chilling streets I see a limbo realm I smell the carrion Perhaps my carbon soul's the most worth I'll ever have My body will decay My atoms will be freed They'll be consumed by anything And take my curse with me These haunting dreams within my head Will all break down This sorrow in my earthen heart Will fade away Beyond the sands of time Beyond the flattened line When now is my forever How can I be remembered? As neurons die and break And heart tissue decays Will anything that makes me "me" In any way remain? It won't Maybe there's some sentiment that you can find within this Good luck I couldn't do it I need no god to pray to I need no god to beg to I need no god to kneel to I need no god to sing to I need no god to sing to I need no god to sing to I need no god to sing to I need no god

about

This album is the result of many years of loss, love, anger, depression, hopelessness, and joy. It was written around the 5 stages of grief, and aims to portray our own individual struggles and eventual successes through the album's protagonist. We have distilled our personal battles with mental health both musically and lyrically into a cathartic piece of art that we hope benefits you as much as it has benefitted us.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, PLEASE get help from a trusted family member or friend, and/or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. As cliché as it sounds, things truly do get better—let this album be a testament to that.

Thanks to our families for their unwavering support, every band we've had the pleasure of sharing a stage with, every venue that's hosted us, the local and DIY scenes for fostering an environment for bands like us to share our art, and to you. Thank you for giving us your time to listen to what we've made, we hope you enjoy it. Support local art, support live music, support small businesses. Stand up for one another. We're all we've got.
