lyrics

spectre looms overhead and holds me hostage
open my mouth to speak but can't ever get the words out
i'm always so caught up in my own world
i struggle to barely focus on another
is this the worst to come
this is the furthest i've run
is this the furthest i'll ever go?

ask yourself were your efforts really worth it
severing ties after turning against your own
i'm growing tired of listening to
your condescending divisive rhetoric
how is it that you lack such selfless and empathy
why is this the only thing cycling in my head endlessly?

craning up at the mountain in front of me
lost in myself and my feelings
my present self forever yearning to out the past behind me
as the future remains hidden

in the blink of an eye a season passed us
change is still imminent yet we remain patient
nostalgia of a weathered home built on
frail foundations keeps me in voluntary confinement
is this the worst to come?
or am I still in the descent?
this is the furthest i've run
is this the furthest i'll ever go?

무너지기 (Crumbling)
by 공중도둑 (Mid-Air Thief)

such beautifully layered textures and arrangements. it's in korean so i don't understand a word of it but i suspect the lyrics are dope too. the standout for me is track two, 'these chains' dave sylvester

Waking Hours
by Photay

photay manipulates sound unlike anyone else i've heard. it's organic, well intentioned music that pushes the envelope and defies genres. 'is it right?' & 'the people' are favourites of mine. dave sylvester

Nothing Is Still
by LEON VYNEHALL

more sonic genius. minimal but also rich, atmospheric and devastatingly beautiful from start to finish. envelopes and ice cream are my picks but it really deserves to be listened to as a whole album. dave sylvester
