(featuring Vylet on vocals)
Tiny bells wrapped around my feet, roses laying still in vacant streets. Some of what dreams bring to me are the things that I saw when this became history. I harmonize with angel sighs through lullabies of neon lights and hold my ground until I fall. I see the hope in words you spoke and wind my fears up tight with rope until they’re bound inside my heart. Forget the story, forget the plan, let’s only restart. Forget the mandatory right where we began, will we now depart? I reach my hand, there’s nothing there, fingers tightening around empty air. Dug up graves chasing memories, one more search for unwanted clarity. I sang the songs with you that night when only sound and sight sufficed. You held me down under your skin. I closed the door, your spirit soared to feel yourself be so adored. But the smiles are gone, never again. Forget the story, forget the plan, let’s only restart. Forget the mandatory right where we began, will we now depart? Everything falls apart: what comes with a change of heart. Surround me. Surround me. Forget the story, forget the plan, let’s only restart. Forget the mandatory right where we began, will we now depart? Everything falls apart: what comes with a change of heart.

(featuring Ink Sparks on vocals)
Bruises on your hips and eyes glazed, feeling distant. I’m faded, I am dazed. The smoke signals calling me out of my cage, I’m waiting, feeling strange. You pull me in close but I’m still cold, I’ve got this feeling in my chest it’s for the best. We go off on our own, see the world in our own type of mindset. It feels so good having my own judgements, making my own decisions. It feels so nice going out with a bang, not gonna boomerang this time around and back to you. Broken words make up the book, fall of the page. I’m hating myself more every day. All those promises are of course never made, it’s burning in my brain. You pull me in close but yet I’m still cold, it hurts inside, I want to fight but I just hide. We always would hold longer than we know, not realizing the lies. It feels so good having my own judgements, making my own decisions. It feels so nice going out with a bang, not gonna boomerang this time around and back to hesitation, manipulation, that’s how it always works. Saw the truth for myself and you better bet I was gone, long gone, no more holding back. It feels so good having my own judgements, making my own decisions. It feels so nice going out with a bang, not gonna boomerang this time around and back to you.

I remember everything. It all came rushing back to me all of a sudden and I didn't know what happened. I still don't. I'm so confused. I'm so, so confused and I need to know if you meant this because sometimes it feels like... Like I'm the only one who lives, like I'm the only one who sees, like I'm the only one who breathes this air. And you can't believe—you can't believe anything. I've been trying so hard but you keep hurting, you keep hurting so many, and I just need to know...
How? How do you sleep?

(featuring Ink Sparks on vocals, additional production by Intersekt)
I remember gazing up at the light above the see, seeing everything we’ve done come back to me. Yet tinges of the past colour endless strands in rings, visions of an endless life where our love can grow and sing. I’ve seen the brightest light, I’ve seen the greenest leaves, and every night I wish upon the stars beyond the eaves. Who are we to know? Who are we to care? I remember spheres of air coalescing on command. I could see the stars fall at my feet though held them in my hands. Yet through the empty void I clung to the unknown, flashes of a memory from a mind I didn’t own. I’ve seen my people die, I’ve heard my people weep, and every night I cry alone wondering how you can sleep.
But who are we to know? Who are we to care?

In the morning I’m alone in my fear that I’m dying slowly, and I’ll no longer be here. And I’m lonely, wishing it was clear that you’re not the one for me, but I can’t find it here. I need you to know I’ve lost all control and I miss you more every day. I need you to know that I’m fading to grey, and I can’t find my own way. Hibernation: a merciful gift. Something bright and warm sends me adrift. Memories flooding, my mind is a maze of your hair, your smile, your lips, and your gentle gaze. I need you to know I’ve lost all control, and I miss you more every day. I need you to know that I’m fading to grey, but somehow you’re warm and you’re floating away. And something inside me is starting to thrive, you’re the light that isn’t dying at night.
And I’ve always been lost in my mind but you say that it happens all the time.
Your hand it mine. Just give it time, I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine. Your hand in mine, just give it time, and I will be yours, and you’ll be mine.
Just give it time.

Ataraxia recommends:
Sin's my favorite lyricist. This is a mature exploration of concepts, sounds, and hip hop grooves that will take you anywhere you want to go.
go to album
Otherworldly production with graceful vocal hooks and deep, contemplative lyrics. Do you have anxiety?
go to album
Four-piece instrumental prog and heavy groove from the cold Pacific Northwest. Feel your teeth shiver through "Vostok," ascend with "Startapper," and get kicked back into the ground with "Aubade."

Great album! Disco Girl is an absolute bop and Carry On is a close second.

Organ, piano, strings and synths slowly brew ethereal, ambient, electronic LP. Mad bonus cuts & tasty giant poster.
