I've been watching your ruses for sometime
Seeking my dose of satisfaction
Desires, burning through my aching bones like
A strange fever that refuses to leave
One step into the unknown
Peel off the skin that's guarding your mind, let all be shown
This endeavour will show you a strange new world
And I, cannot wait
Scratching at the surface to find yourself
The words you say make no sense to me
Tell me all your secrets and you'll be fine
Without these layers, you leave behind
Feeling of the distance rising
From my world colliding into me
Seeking calm amidst the chaos
That is slowly shaping into me
Dark clouds are rising
Casting a shadow of doubt
On your very being
You withdraw into a shell
But deep rooted hatred
Is turning into into something new
Taking pieces of your soul
Back to the dark
I've been watching your ruses for sometime
Seeking my dose of satisfaction
Desires, burning through my aching bones like
A strange fever that refuses to leave

Wait Until Tomorrow

Waste away another night
Everything I had to do I can do tomorrow
Awake in a dream-like state with eyes open
This mess has slowly become part of me
I'll wait right here
Watching all these walls closing in
Knowing, too well, my scars are open and bleeding out
Distort reason to the end of your twisted desire
Seeking all that's left to be stripped of misery
Awake in a dream-like state with eyes open
This mess has slowly become part of me
I'll wait right here
Watching all these walls closing in
Knowing, too well, my scars are open and bleeding out
Wasting away, wasting away

I am walking past
All my opinions turned into
A matter of no consequence
And now I wear their borrowed
Thoughts, and try to make amends
But to no avail
Stare at the mirror, to find
A person you don't recognize
Mind can you see the end of the strife
You're reduced to nothingness and they alter your thoughts again
See beyond what you've been shown
Through the deceit
See beyond what you've been shown
And you know
There's no place for your mind
Can you see the end of the strife
You're reduced to nothingness and they alter your thoughts again

Dawn Of Truth

Truth is coming back here again
Deep stories unfold
There's the light showing again
Long awaited moment has come
Isn't this the path, you were looking to follow
Isn't this the path, you were looking to follow
Have you discovered what you're like
Dawn of truth
Is nothing like you dreamt
It's causing you all this discomfort
Secrets confined
Reveal their very roots
Tangled in a web of your will
Shut it down shut it down
This light is paralyzing
It’s blinding me till lies are all I see
I read the signs
That are emphasizing
Redundance of my search and I
Feel wasted
And the treacherous path of pursuit
That you've been savouring
It suddenly displays a different side
Of possibilities
Dawn of truth
Is nothing like you dreamt
It's causing you all this discomfort
Secrets confined
Reveal their very roots
Tangled in a web of your will

People they continue to baffle me
It feels like we're back to where we started this
Learning to
Paralyze the pain
Living in distorted frames
Repair the loss selfishly again
If I could show guilt inside me frozen now
Voices they hold me captive eternally
Both my hands are tied behind my back
To set me free
I'm tired of facing choices all the time
Every pretty word can you really tell
If it's me
Is this how I'm feeling all the time
(Stay within)
Stay within what feels good.
Paralyze the pain
living in distorted frames
Repair the loss selfishly again
Paralyze the pain
Living in distorted frames
The voice of empathy has been evading me
I know I'll seek it out
I have participated in the crime
I'm responsible for
All that is wrong inside of my mind
Rethink your facts

Leave me
Leave me to my end
Tethered, attached to what I fear
See you in the hell that I've created
Darkness continues to confine me
This denial's got no reasoning
It's left me wanting more
Of what there is none
I've feared so long
Feel my will breaking in parts
Scatter slowly
Over what you dread
Scatter slowly
Convince yourself
Scatter slowly
Over what you dread
Scatter slowly
Convince yourself
There is no place left for me
It sets you free from what you become
Give in to your every need
It sets you free from what you become
There is no place left for me
It sets you free from what you become
Give in to your every need
It sets you free from what you become
This denial's got no reasoning
It's left me wanting more
Of what there is none
I've feared so long
Feel my will breaking in parts

Sun comes out
It's clear now
My dreams are coming
Back to me
Light seeps in
On my skin
My feet are aching
To feel the ground
Aching feet
Feel the ground
Clear day
Empty bed
Ticklish feet
Numb legs
Everyone knows
Transparent skin
With me
Wandering out
Wandering out
Doubts are leaving me
I am ready now
Doubts are leaving me
I am ready now
What is this place
What is this place
Feeling happy
Wandering

From the awesome vocals and great storytelling songwriting brilliantly complemented with soaring, melodic guitar work to the quality keyboarding and tight drum and bass team backing them up, this is prog rock at its best. Music and musicians of this calibre and quality are the antedote to the social media driven, factory-made industry pop that is marketed to us today. This is an outstanding debut album from a band of experienced and talented musicians. May there be many more to come.

tight, wiry and bold, with the extra heaviness being a bonus. the vocals hold beautifully with the guitar work, and after acquiring this record I listened to it fully, then again, then again. it is super good.

The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality.
