progdolphin Some people say the outside is cool. But I think the inside is cool too, particularly when you're in rooms. Give this thing a shot. It's a hoot. Favorite track: Rose Garden.

Alice M. I’m trying to understand why this hasn’t received more support, but every new listen seems to take me even further from an answer. Favorite track: Rose Garden.

Louis Jagger I once made this guy sit through a Whit Stillman movie against his will and he's repaid me by making one of the best metal albums of 2016. There's no justice Favorite track: Reflecting Pool.

Disasters Great album, a perfect blend of crushing bangers and soulful ballads. Favorite track: Reflecting Pool.

Hours 05:09
I'll turn a light on And quiet my mind Tonight And I'll leave it burning tomorrow A beacon of light in the fading twilight That I hope Will guide you on your way back home I yearn Oh, you let the apple fall out of your eye When you stayed in those rooms that glow Warm and amber And I yearn for something to remind me 'Coz I forgot how to live and if I don't want to die Then I must know why The life I made And the love I gave Are turning into dust I... calcify In a life passed-by Am I so maligned? I remember still So find your way back home Or I will stray Solve et coagula So long ever after
2.
Nausea 04:09
I feel the fever come With the dimming of the sun This could be the one Where all will finally come undone I crawl into a hole With no thought for where it goes And if nobody follows At last, I'll be alone At last I'll be alone Under the soil A home I will see this all come undone A black mask to blot out the sun The weight of just being someone A black mask to blot out the sun
3.
In Rooms 01:19
In rooms Where people are Night after night Hushed meetings in ardent light Under vaulted ceilings Painted white Where whispered words Tread heavily over thick carpets Through corridors Behind closed doors In rooms Where people are
4.
Vessel 04:50
The lights of towns are going out I know my path And there's no going back In the light of the moon Like a moth to a fire A vessel of radiant light In the endless night I've a feeling so peculiar tonight And I can't explain why Take me down to a place where I can feel the warmth of an embrace This endless fire drives me on I wanna wrap my soul around it Pull me out of a burning house Pull me out of a burning house I just want something to remind me
5.
A Wish 04:42
Words give birth To thoughts we can't contain A wish from the heart With a will that wont be changed I seek an exit A way out of this dream Where I'm lost If this is death Then I wont mind tonight I'll be your exit The way out is through me I'm looking for something that I lost In this dream I've walked through walls And I have heard your siren call Tomorrow I'll be gone But I have what you want for tonight I'll expire when I find What I was looking for So please take my hand And I will show you to the door I can't understand The key that's in my hand But I just want somethg to remind me
6.
Nowhere 01:02
I just want something to remind me
7.
Sacrum 06:01
Through the door and down a hall Where bodies of ex-lovers shed like snakeskins Litter the halls And hang from the walls Through labyrinthine corridors When you open your eyes And you find that something's missing All your love is running out All your love is drying out From your sacrum comes a hateful fire Purging all that comes in a hateful fire In a hateful fire All your love The last drop is gone Take me down Where I belong, I have nothing left Give my bones Back to the soil, free form the earth Purge these things That cling to a life I've long exited Help me return to the fire that I started from Hang your heart and pray for your soul Nothing left of your life before Don’t lose your way You've chosen your path And you’ve dug your own grave Think of this on your way down
8.
The Ladder 01:23
Keep going Keep going down You’re almost there You’re almost at the bottom Don’t stop now Why stop now? Just keep going You’re almost ahhh Keep going down You’re so close Just keep going down We’re so glad you could make it We’re so glad you could join us
9.
Gazing at your navel when there's nothing left to say Will you draw the curtain when there's no-one left to blame You've buried all your shame and perished in the flame Now you must take your place In a reflecting pool Of a viscous black oil Black eyes stare into you Recognise the place Standing in your place Doppelganger Despair is a mirror and it's drawing nearer Step into the centre, an inverse nirvana Obsidian, look into its face Now you must take your place In a reflecting pool Of a viscous black oil Black eyes stare into you Recognise the place Standing in your place Doppelganger Don't look at me Turn your eyes away Forever curse my name Forever in the flame
10.
The Hermit 04:49
Don't stray too far This will be over soon Don't turn away tomorrow This will all be over soon Heal Don't turn towards the light The worst has already passed away into the night This will be over soon Heal When all the light leaks out of your eyes Find your centre in the ocean of noise Heal
11.
Rose Garden 05:29
Outside the rain begins to fall But still remains inside these walls Are looking out into the garden Where the green on the grey invites their dreaming So tired of being held up Among the laughter, amongst the stifled crying Oh I never promised you... No, I never promised you Outside the rain begins to fall My still remains inside these walls Are turning out into the garden In my dream you said you'd wait for me there No-one comes and no-one knows Just what it feels like to live like you are dying In a place where no-one knows your name Left in a bathtub and thrown out with the water Never promised you... No, I never promised you Never promisied you No, I never
12.
The Owl 02:45
Flew from the scorn of a lover and found my way into another world I flew from one to another And swapped a cage for another thumb To be under Now I will be gone Just before the dawn Flew from the strain I was under The pressure built underneath my skull is gone and though I lost my way I didn't know if I would carry on Now I will be gone Just before the dawn I know life carries on I'll fly before the dawn's light
13.
Fire Escape 02:35
The lights of towns are going out It's coming awake as I'm looking down It took me so long to figure out Just what this whole mess has been about No more wading through standing water I've been in the wars but I'm getting out Still waters run deep but they're stirring now It took me so long to figure out Just what this whole mess has been about No more wading through standing water I feel it all come back My body is so wracked I will never turn my back Again
