“I don't believe being
is only balanced by its lack”
I don't believe I'll be alive
only when I'll know I'm not
because existing is the quintessence
that slowly kills the idea
no entirety can change things
there's only a single eye blink
a string of constantly changing moments
in a being that lives forever
and will never be reborn
the surface of things we'll never touch
for beauty has nothing to do with us
in the utter exchange we lived in a moment
only when we'll know that:
“life will never be balanced through being
there won't necessarily be death”
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
