lyrics

It’s hard to find a way
To reclaim the essence
Intent and synthesis
So far I’ve failed at this
Easy to drift away
Without an essence
Time slips by and so do I
This state I will defy

It’s hard to pierce the gloam
That hides the essence
Drifting tendrils slitherbound
Consuming sight and sound
Easy to lose your will
Among the effort
Now it’s time I see
Phantoms thrown from me

Come back to a conscious state
In the firmament you cannot stay
It’s the dawn of the first day
Foul dreams can’t ameliorate
Come back, is your fate so bleak?
Come back if you’re really free
Come back to a conscious state
Before it’s too late

Come back to a conscious state
In the firmament you cannot stay
It’s the dawn of the first day
Foul dreams can’t ameliorate
Come back, is your fate so bleak?
Come back if you’re really free
Come back to a conscious state
Before it’s too late

Not hard to see the worth
Of running from the essence
Lost in the cynical noise
And everything it destroys
Never far from the gate
Or the edge of a blade
The empiric realm awaits
Capture the essence

I am late to the party, but having a party now none the less!! There are some serious bong smoking riffs going on here. Along with rhythm that is gilded with the elegance of the embroidery of a well worn battle jacket. All delivered at the pace of a Nascar driver on the final lap. The vocals rip through the air with the finesse of a shot of Jack Daniels, so turn it up and clink some bottles with ya mates, and at least, be Almost Honest!! Justin@BlindMouse

Hey, 1993 called. They want their flannel back. Seriously, the band's own description really nails what's going on here. I was in my late teens/early twenties in the glory days of grunge. Not only does this band nail the sound, they nail the feel of that era. Great stuff. Hayduke X
