lyrics

once, we were so alive
we led each other to the well
washed the dirt from our hands
dreamed of what might be

I escaped the realm of this disguise
only to be trapped in another
I may learn from this mistake
only to be trapped in another

I will stay in this cabin but for a while
if only to brace for the cold
hidden deep in white hills
maybe you'll come back for me

soon I shall trudge to my demise... but tonight, we dance
soon I shall crawl to the chasm... but tonight, we dance

flickering lights illuminate a shrouded figure
an effigy to a song long past
rend this antimonument
then I might sleep in peace

Deterior recommends:

Restrained By Liberty
by Gang Control

High-quality modern hardcore punk. Furious but still a bit danceable. Not enough bands have this kind of sound. Deterior
go to album
Algorythm
by Beyond Creation

I get into tech death a lot these days, and these guys are some of the best. Textures abound. Deterior

Burial Dream
by Sarin

A nice throwback to mid-2000s-era of atmo-sludge. Really hits the spot when it's needed. Deterior
