[KINGKHL]

This EP was truly so ahead of its time… brings back good memories too. 🙏

[acetheanimalttv]

Bruh this was one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. This kids were 17-18 when they made this album, think about that 🤘

[t-liminal]

I love that the whole EP flows as one giant song.

[monayuki]

I was in high school when this came out and it’s still one of my favorite albums of all time even over a decade later. Thank you for uploading this!

[Haraamcore]

10 years on...still the greatest EP I have ever heard in my life.

[WesleyDropDead]

What a throwback. Still an amazing album after all these years. Perfect from start to finish.

1. Departure


This time, we'll reach for the sky.
Our lives will be our safe place
Where every instant of love will be with me,
Forever with me.

Every memory ends with me, it can't be forgotten.
We've been waiting for everything,
And it stays with me, makes me feel anything.
One day we'll rest our heads, and you will see.


2. Transitions


Life can be anything we want it to be, get the walls.
We can not look back, but think about.
They can't stop us now, from our thoughts
And our dreams with the visions of liberty.
For all those sleepless nights,
In arms you can't reach, we'll fall.

We are shaping; we are taking everything to the ground.

You can't save us from ourselves,
You can't even save yourselves.
You can't stop us from our thoughts,
Our visions of a better world.
But now take it this way,
You can't stop me now.

Everything is lost so prepare yourself when the end is here.
Remember, the world can't be forgotten.
We're busy shaping a new world.

You can't save us from ourselves,
You can't stop us from our thoughts and dreams,
Our visions of fucking apathy,
For all those sleepless nights,
We're falling down again.

These transitions in reverie could never be what you wanted them to be,
It's what I believe.
These sleepless nights in arms you can't reach
Will never be what you thought they would be.
I can't sleep, I can't breath.
I can't breathe the air that you breathe,
I can't be the dreams that you dream.
You're taking your time,
And I can't breathe the air.

I can't breath the air that you breathe,
I can't be the dreams that you dream.

Living life in reverie could never be what you fucking thought it would be


3. Encounter...


Our lives are nothing but a means to an end.

And when the ground cracks beneath your feet,
You will find the only thing that's left is peace of mind,
Or any other fucking kind.

I've been reciting this with an imminent gaze,
And now I don't know if you've got it in you but,
Life will be the fucking death of me.

This is all just a repetition.
To everyone, make it a mission to be the change you want to see.
Lay down the foundation and where you wish to be.
I promise that it won't be the place you'll find me.

Get ready for the calm, before the storm.

These are the words that we speak,
But have you seen the things that we've been seeing?
Buried beneath the walls, get ready for the calm I say.
Have you seen what I've been,
Waiting for the passage our light brings?
Have you seen what I've seen?

Get ready, buried beneath the walls.
Today resigns the peace through our decisions.

This is a calling to arms;
We cannot face our decisions in favor of you.

Don't you think it's time to go home?

You're always running from it.
This is what it feels to be torn,
But death will beat you to it.
Don't you think it's time to go home?
This is what it feels to be torn and this is what it is.

I bet you never saw this coming.


4. In Pursuit Of


[Featuring Chris Bahris]

To amount for the travelled skies,
I'm seeing picture perfect lines.
Now breathe in the masses, a carrier in our feat of tired dreams.

Gravity holds us to a stand still.
Look for the better signs;
We're all in pursuit of this time.

It's all laid out right in front of me,
Looking back into absence.
And I'll stop running from what never chases me,
When you keep your hands where everyone can see.

What's become of this place we once loved?
They said it was coming.
Oh fuck, this is just my luck.

We've all paid the fucking price.
They said it was coming,
Oh my god, now here it comes.

Tides never brought the change we all thought that they would bring.
Now set the sky aflame.

So tell me, are you gonna make a decision that you'll regret years from now?

When you keep your hands where everyone can see
But what's become of this place we once loved.
You can back into absence.

So bite your fucking tongue,
Cause your out of control this time.
Now let me teach you a thing or two about life.

We've all paid the fucking price.

What's become of this place we once loved?
What has happened to this place that we once loved?
Now here it comes...


5. Still Waters


Now climbing mountains on the verge of the fall,
But looking backwards in time,
I could feel the walls about to break.
And losing devotion in time has meant there will be nothing left for me.

We are the solution.
Breathe, breathe in the bright,
Breathe in the sight.
Breathe in, it's all around you.
Breathe, breathe in the sight,
Breathe in the bright.
Prove that it's all around you.

We are the creation.
We are the solution to all.

And this indifference won't mean a fucking thing,
Because I am everywhere.

You thought you could survive this but now you've lost all motion.

Take this place, rip down the walls and make it yours.

I am the storm and here we go again.

Breaking down, I swear I'll tear you apart.

This indifference won't mean a fucking thing;
This is all just a feeble attempt at the sound.

Oh, haven't you heard that it's all just a matter of time?

Have I lost all faith in my mind?
No I told you, I told you, I told you a thousand times.

I told you a thousand times.

Never lay your dreams aside;
We've been losing the light.
Carried along still waters,
We're always losing our place in time.
This is all just a feeble attempt at the sound,
I've told you a thousand times.

Losing devotion in time, it's taking over our lives.

Breaking down, it's all just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time.

[darryljames]

I am jus now discovering these guys at 31 and thought id heard all there was to be heard concerning this i was wrong 💙

[downearth]

stop bopping your head challenge *impossible*

[spaghetti]

this band was so damn good, toronto had a small but cool bunch of bands that did this style in that 2010 era but structures really was leaps and bounds above the competition

[antonprokhorov]

Listening to this EP takes me back to 2010. Shit slaps and life in general was much simplier and just plain better at that time.

[dansullivan]

I started a new job and on like the 3rd day someone like 12 years younger than I was listening to something heavy.(idk who) but im excited to link him this after 10 years of enjoyment

[rickderico]

This was my go-to listen in 2010... i wish their vocalist had stayed with them after the "Divided by" LP

[ClutchboyzHQ]

im back again the tuning is so crazy because no one else uses this guitar tuning i play these songs often 🎸

[bytor]

Hearing that cough at 15:03 caught me off guard lol
