i won't open my eyes and bear witness to floods
you're holding water i can't keep my head up above
i know this is what you had intended
for me to fall prey to your ill intentions
as we turn our heads we break bonds
the bonds we've built to keep us afloat
give everything
receive nothing
chiral hands bound by severed ties
your heart and your mind don't see eye to eye
you haven't seen the last of me
this water that you hold will be my fucking hell to pay
the end will never come but the truth is near
the end will never come but the truth is near
there is nothing after this
there is nothing after this
differences will turn to distances
differences will turn to distances and we will cease
differences
distances
i am holding water
i am holding water

Been listening to this since 2013. Eventually tried to track down a CD but now I'm starting to go digital. So, has 7 years of listening to this EP dulled the experience? Not even slightly. Amazing work. From Nathan's ghost beats on the snare, polyrhythmic measures and insane kick pedal work, Eric's unique tone on vocals and both Aaron and Josh's melodies and interesting structures. Just hope they get the chance to tour England soon. JAY DYER
