LYRICS
please find reprieve in the silence between breaths
cause it's the only calm we seem to find outside of death
these words like poison, can't seem to hold my tongue
I choke them down till, they flood my lungs [1]
it burns like rotgut
cover your ears
or sew my lips shut
sew them shut
seal my fate, I'm a waste
I always fail to reciprocate
"I'm only living by habit" [2]
and life just won't have it
my greatest fear is you feeling distressed by my presence
would you feel happier the more we put ourselves at distance?
we stray from each other in our greatest times of need
we trace the paths, we've already passed
just to see if we still bleed
won't you
please just shed my skin
let's not let this end
please just shed my skin
shed my skin
ひきこもり [3]
a victim of complacency
I'm no longer the safe haven you once found refuge in
so please kill the ghost [4], who's made its home
in your lover's skin
I hate myself, for the man I've become
tie my noose, drain my veins
erase my spirit please
I hate myself, for the man I've become (so numb)
tie my noose, drain my veins
save yourself from me

I love every single track I've heard so far from y'all, even found a few on Tim's account, Lol.
Anyways, the main thing I enjoy specifically is how untraditional these tracks are instrumentally and vocally. Tons of harmonics, lots of dissonance and an amazing drummer I can somewhat compare to Joey Jordison. It's amazing how underrated you guys are and it shocks me by how little attention you receive for these songs that I can say are outstanding, well produced and nongeneric.
Also I love the bass and gorey lyrics

[@BenRogersWPG]

So good.
Knocked Loose and Dealer feel - amazing!

This is the correct way to show your love for some of Japans culture, and heavy music all at once. YES!

This is the vocalist from Eavesdropper right? Anyone else migrate over from that band?

[@DESOLATENY]

This is not. Logan from Eavesdropper currently does FOH/tech work for Motionless in White. He produced and did a guest feature on our first EP but that's all.
