Michael Reilly I'm really enjoying the earnest and energetic sound produced by these guys – perfect indie rock delivered with purpose and soul. A great vocal mix and dense reverberating guitars help punch these songs out. Favorite track: Walls.

Dumas Ayala I wish I had the right words to describe the feelings and the strength that this album has. It is totally amazing. Favorite track: Burned Us Alive.

Gary Sleith I'm certain I bought this before but whatever I'll happily buy it again - I love this band. Wish they'd release an LP and play London shows and let me be their friend. Favorite track: Walls.

Vincent This album is every bit as good as You Are All You Have Left To Fear. Favorite track: Burned Us Alive.

on the horizon, there's a hope we'll all amount to greater things
 but we let the paths to them get broken
 why do we accept that we'll never reach an end
 where vices and regrets are not the truth, and not the cure

 this won’t ever stop, we are lying to ourselves

 between the margins, there's a marginal desire to be something
 but we let the words written within them hold us back
 why let this context become the meaning when it's just
 a pretense of abstract convictions never meant to be

 we can't help ourselves, can't turn it around
 this won’t ever stop, we are lying to ourselves

Walls 04:53
act like you’re ashamed that there’s nothing left inside your frame but i know that you buried what once was deep inside a maze sincerity led astray, you’re terrified the face you show the world is who you really are the crutch you call a name safe in the haven of commonplace you’re in a cycle you can’t escape tear down the walls that confine us all and we can start again tear down the walls, it’s so beautiful to be where we began afraid of what’s behind you loathe the other side but it’s here you’ll feel awake together we will tear down the walls, it’s a shame it got this far.

all the years that i stood rooted and strong a monument atop the ridge you put me on but i hear the machines rush in like a tide and i know there’s no place that i can hide i should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain air i should have known for so long that this day would come and all that i wanted was a life hand in hand where we fill in the spaces the best that we can but the pain that I’m feeling, you won’t understand and the limbs that you’ve severed, they will never mend i should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain air i should have known for so long that this day would come so i’ll forget the things that have filled me with pride i’ll wander through dreams that have all but died i’ll look to the sky but it’s not enough the sun’s buried now under towers of lust they have burned us alive i should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain air i should have known for so long that this day would come i should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain air they have burned us alive, they have burned us alive

here you aren’t again holding steadfast to the plan turn your back on the way out i know i can’t save you now feel the pulse of disease weigh on you like gravity forge a fix with medicine you’re not fixing anything how could you truly believe the ends justify the means when you forgot what ends are for and you can’t be anyone anymore let the current steal you out to sea like a fate forecast in a fever dream sink down into your dark abyss now the parasite of your own ailment i’m still the sail you tore apart floating in the wake, an abandoned ark the sun will rise and lead me home where i’m safe and sound, forever alone you’ll always be the plague inside of me.

Sleepwalker 05:51
what is happiness if you know nothing but a lie? what is beautiful if you don’t open up your mind? sleepwalking through life and you’re running out of time your faith in the broadcast that everything you ever loved has died sleepwalking through life…will this ever end? an idle contradiction, a maverick marionette you’ve heard it all but you haven’t listened yet blind to the meaning but there’s something you forget (your perception is the gun to your head And i’m wondering when you will ask yourself) what is obvious if you don’t open up your eyes and see again? sleepwalking through life and you’re running out of time your faith in the broadcast that everything you ever loved has died sleepwalking through life…will this ever end?
