lyrics

We gather to tie the poet to the mast
Burnt sales make monuments
Of voices that have nothing left to say

It's all gone
These condolences ring hollow
Washing up against the shore
Pages sinking giving way
To a shapeless form

These hands make nothing happen
Cast out to the void of a sleeping sea
Oblivious to this oblivion
Thoughts long lost

These hands make nothing happen
They've left in the absence of calm
The image isn't relevant
Just the sound of it all

This open grave
Takes us with open arms
But nothing is ever clear
Until it's seen through the dark

Cast away the replicas
We've learned through history
Those landscapes of aftermath fade

Cast away the replicas
They've loved too long
We'd love to let the tide
Drag them down

Better to sink with the ship
Than to survive something like this

This EP is amazing and ends off with one of the most beautiful mathy and twinkly riffs on the last song. Great! dominikgray
