It's been a long time since you've called, and I'm sure you don't mind
but I can't help but wonder how you've been doing on the other side of this city that we used to call home
I'm sharing my apartment with this girl we used to know back in high school
she reminds me of you in so many ways but somehow not enough
So where did every year go between you and me?
Every time I try to speak your name I choke on the pieces of my broken head and my broken heart
With your hands uptied, and your arms spread wide you've got your own cross to bear
and everything that you are seems designed to tear apart every memory I have with you

Your condition was getting worse
So we took a trip out to the country
To see the people that matter most
You learned that I could
Play the guitar
We sang
Redemption songs
The wolves were howling
Beyond the tree line
It was the first time
You’d seen them in years
So you grabbed your rifle
And fired into
The darkness
In hopes that they might retreat
We spent the next morning
Gathering lumber
For the winter
I asked if you were okay
You stayed focused
On the task at hand
we built a fire
I've never seen so many stars
With wolves approaching
You could see their eyes in the moonlight
It felt like they were waiting us out
But you wouldn't dare reach for your father's pistol
So we sat and prayed that we might make it out alive

You told me you’d never seen a look like that on my face when you told me that you were expecting
With a little help from your brother we turned his old room into one fit for a baby
We never had time to repaint the walls, so they stayed dark blue with a portrait of Michael Jordan
I thought it not to be fitting, I always knew that my first would be a daughter
It took me six months to look your father in the eye again, and it took me just about that long to break the news to my own
Honestly I must confide I lack the strength to do this right but somehow I’m more terrified of how things might go if we’re just fine

Our three year goodbye never felt this dragged out
But who could blame us
We were just kids with a fear of drifting apart
I promised I would write you
But I never found the courage to face your absence
Here goes nothing
I'm motivated by the memories that I have
Of when we gave each other our worst
Behind locked car doors
We wished upon the fallen stars that we longed to be

You opened my sleepless eyes
And I don't know how I could ever repay you
For every night spent breathing in the summer air and you
Your silence came as no surprise to me
The protector that you are, you were sick inside
Even I could see that your heart's just like a sun ready to swell and burst and tear apart everything that you are
Western skies tell no lies, but I do
And if I thought that I could save you, I would

Weary Eyes

We crossed state lines with half-packed bags
In hopes that we might find something worth staying for
The nights felt so long
With you there next to me
But I don’t mind so much
God knows you need the sleep more than I do
And maybe in the morning
We'll visit your mother
In the evening we'll dance like
The ballroom never burned down
And I never knew you
God knows I tried
To see your face
When they gathered around you
Weary eyes haunted our nights
And weary hands had gotten us this far
But we never saw the ocean

Lungs full of cyanide
We were just fine
Haven’t been this
Scared in a lifetime
With two tons of burden weighing us down
We had no way home
With no scars or bruises to tell our tales
All we had was our words
I watched myself die
We were just fine
I’ve never felt more alive

We were ghosts in a ghost town
Wondering where we might reside
Save for the twisted metal coffin
In which our bodies lay
When we reached our final destination
With blackened lungs and heavy hearts
We screamed with everything we had left
We were floating ghosts
When we finally met you
You asked us why we still came here
after all that we’d been through

Shameless Money Grab

Redundant and unnecessary. But this band is so damn good imo that it's still a good listen. Like yeah, they must be desperate for money to release this, but this is a band that is so worthy of my money. This album is a 0 out of 10 absolutely beautiful garbage. If I had to rate it it's a 10 out of 10. You decide which one is the lie.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.
