about

The single off of our upcoming EP, "Ontogenesis".

lyrics

I’m at the end of my rope, and I’m tired, of climbing back up.
Holding on to a shred of decency. I might let go, but I’m so-
Over encumbered by my saturated conscience, a weight I cannot escape.
Dissatisfied, as I analyze my retrospective choices.
I’m at the end of my rope, and I’m tired, of climbing back up.
Holding on to a shred of decency. I might let go. I’m going to let go!
My instincts take over, my actions betray my ideals.
Now there’s no turning back, I can’t undo what is done,
I just can’t let this control me!
I won’t learn. I don’t care. I don’t hear, what you said to me. Oh!
Will I find any peace, in my apathy? Maybe I’m not capable of being redeemed.
Until, I break. Free of this cage. I had created, to shield me from this-
Change.
If I release, this hold I, might get lost in the poison. Or drown in the need.
My grip is failing, and the fall is so inviting!
Forever waiting for a bittersweet release. I, let go.
Pushed past my limit, I relinquish control.
Piercing through the wind, the cliff disappears from view. As I fall!
The fall was bliss. (Getting lost in the release. x2)
