    The sun leaves on its own
    A simple passage of the days that I have wasted
    I feel the summer slipping through
    These aging fingers
    Compelled to walk upon the same path that I have tread so long
    Still nothing changes
    A simple passage to a place that I have come to know
    I still remember
    A better time
    When the thoughts that we had connected
    Between our open eyes
    We say goodbye, to a life that's been mostly silent
    Erroneously lead
    Strive to complete myself
    It seems my work is never truly done
    I see your face, barely through the haze
    You see a life, erroneously lead
    There's hope in younger days
    There's warmth within the past that's so familiar
    I forget just why I came here
    I hope that you remember
    Home
    All this time I've wasted
    In my self-righteous anger
    Oh the years I've lost
    To this profound indifference
    I find my direction
    A solemn duty owned
    Mine, it is mine alone
    To watch this world expire
    Like machines, we embrace
    Cold limbs connect
    A silent, errored life
    Slipping into oblivion
    Lead astray through endless days
    Silent now, the words so loud
    My mind is drifting out
    Between perception of a dream and what is real
    Now all I have is lost with you
    I hope that you remember
    A better time
    When the lights were all so candescent
    That reached me from the sky
    We say goodbye, to a life within dead horizons
    Erroneously lead
    Strive to escape myself
    It seems my work is never truly done
    I see your shape, falter in the wake
    Of a life erroneously lead

    What a great group of songwriters. Not trying to compare them to Lamb of God, but they have very similar 'in your face' aspects with the composition and flow of the piece. And the production is on point. Everything melds together; nothing gets lost. Keep coming back here, and that is why. My ass don't need rippin' solos and 32nd sustained blasts to be happy (although I do enjoy). Just solid, kick ass, beer drinkin', joint lightin', sweet lady makin' out, sweaty metal hug happy jams. 10/10, will recommend. Prost, from CT.

The perfect blend into the guitar solo, then a jump right back into the song lyrics. It's truly the best metal music to be released in a really long time.

      @Palindromeda 33 I'm not saying they should be as big as Opeth, just that they're similar and I think Opeth got more attention for doing a similar job by the time My Arms came out. Maybe the next Rivers album will be their Blackwater Park?!?

      @@DirMrsHQoftheScreamingGhouls u could say Owls is their "Still Life" where they start to get attention of the mainstream. BWP was the breakthrough for Opeth and if Rivers evolve that sound from Owls and hopefully keep the Sax they could get their breakthrough with the next album. Let's hope for that

    I discovered this song around the time I was finishing reading a book called 'Remains of the day' by Kazuo Ishiguro (Nobel Prize winning author). Seems weird but the lyrics of this song go hand in hand with the ending of the book. Thinking about change and reflecting on a life 'erroneously led'.
    Pretty absurd to think of a reserved old English butler in relation to metal, but both pieces of work are ruthlessly existential.
    "Oh the years I’ve lost,
    To this profound indifference,
    I find my direction,
    A solemn duty owned"
    Think there's an award winning movie based on the book aswell..
