this is life at its peak, listen to the earth breathe.
i'd spend the rest of my days digging this grave,
for you to fall asleep beneath these weeds and below all of these trees.
this place has taken my breath and life away from me.
i can't speak, i can't breathe.
so alone, so alone.
i will not get out of this life alive,
so i will just find a quiet place to die
it's not all as hard as it seems
because this world just seems so peaceful to me.
this is my life at its lowest.
i can't step back, i can't step away from this.
it's running into problems like these
that makes me realize that i can never leave.
until these problems were washed away by death's waves.

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
