i resurrect my dreams it's just not what it seems if nothing could stop us now then why are we still here? mondays turn to fridays and there's nothing that we do we sleep through our lives with open eyes as the days go by let me say that i'm prepared i need this when wounds are healed we can begin and let me say this once again that i need this so please just give it what it takes and i want to know how things will turn feeling like there's so much more some stories show that i should know mishaps demand to share just to justify ourselves i resurrect my dreams it's just not what it seems if nothing could stop us now... if only we could get ourselves past through all our mistakes the damage's done so just rest the eyes and don't waste more time and i want to know how things will turn feeling like there's so much more some stories show that i should know mishaps demand to share well let's just don't, ever again as for the past, it's not timeless but it's really fine by me so let's get forward, let's move ahead with some stories unshared so we can be saved we could try but we have got to keep it real

these voices in between our vices and our demons say "won't you reconcile with what's left to lose?" and after all those restless bargains over our useless youth i'll rest, i'll detest myself if there's a difference now i feel so discouraged by all the things that I have learned the same chances don't come back and i would never believe that we could have been any far from this but now to stop i just wouldn't dare i wouldn't dare i couldn't i start to see and i try to understand and i've been so undecided isn't this divided well or did we just forget? do you think i'm satisfied with never having a good run and maybe beating a dead horse anyway? i could make it if they paid attention turned inside out learn to take it along with consequences turned inside out

dear friends of mine pour me one more glass let's get fuckin drowned we'll drink to better times before i said 'everything' before everything was gone with goodbyes we'll practice the routine of spilling gasoline all over your front door and lighting a match cause words are not enough you know i'll keep my time red eyes, dry lips i'm trying to catch the air where you have melted away i think i overdosed again oh god it burns so soft fake smile, i'll try to exist in the crowd this fire will rise tonight we burn together, we burn! there's no beauty in collapse this fire will rise tonight we burn together, we burn! there's no turning back and even if it's right i haven't found an excuse for it yet the ashes will be left behind anyway cause words are not enough you know i'll keep my time i'll keep my time... * NOTE: an initial/written version; some of the lyrics are eventually not sung

i wish myself to forget every piece of this hell left with nothing inside and with nothing to say still like the smallest worm under the weight of the universe when you drag me through the gutter there's no time to think but i know that there's no need to scream knee deep's enough to drown in fear all hail the king of parade all hail the king i was heaven sent once, wasn't i? and maybe i was made to feel alive or to lay face down in the mud just to lay face down... it can't be just fine, but it’s close to feel ok if you swallow the pride, if you forget the pain but what if i can't? so wear your dirty crown it means nothing to me it's gonna weigh you down so wear this arrogant crown with its burden which is heavier than me all hail the king of parade all hail the king and the silence inside burned from the part when you stitched my mouth as i could stand there behind you and see if you'd ever look back and the silence inside burned but it's what made me learn what i know well, i wanted to call this a 'home' but you gave me no choice

PROLOGUE the devil is here it's spitting on your face in a way and it won't shrug its shoulders when you're weak they come back around every time you back down ACT I: CAUGHT IN THE WOODS we're twisting a gallows for you to feel your fear cause the first time you'd stand there you won't know that it's not real blindfolded you'd wait for when the push comes to shove and from now on your name is lost with this around my neck i'm sure i'm dead but honestly i don't know why! i'm panicking again but i wish this would be over so when comes that one last breath?! the knot should get tighter as i fall but i feel that it doesn't catch me at all that rope's a trick, it's long enough for you to hit your feet against the ground, all safe and sound between the fallen leaves ..at all, on this new found bedding seems i'm alive... but dead inside the saddest circus is alive we mean to stage it few more times and you're stuck with a martyr role kid, keep the ribbon on your eyes we want to make you feel proud of the glorious scornful act ACT II: THE REPETITION, THE DAMAGE, AND THE BREAK they're getting close even closer than they know to my own eager role to ensue nobody owns me if the ground won't shake this once ACT III: TO BE FREE and if it's somehow funny then i'm sure just not for me trading living for surviving doesn't make me feel complete but i'm on their stage doing all the right moves the knot serves as a collar that won't ever touch my skin and they don't want any victims here they just perform their mockery and they could do this again and again and then again and over again why would i give them what they want? i need to throw caution to the wind i need to set things to work by myself so i'm free ACT IV: TO DREAM / TO WAIT (5:33 / 7:53) - ACT V: THE LOOP COLLAPSE is there a point in this game if i lost my name? you can keep the guilt for me now there’s so much shame and i'm left with no fear and then you won't smile again and it isn't a mistake while this time i'm keeping my legs high before the ground lifts my life

about

To get this straight, we haven't put out any new music for approximately 4 years now, and finally - here's a piece of "new" work done!

As much as we're now quite happy with it, this EP was a real struggle to finish... Honestly, while having many new ideas we wanted to use the concept to make a smooth transition into some new aspects of our music, and on the other hand we didn't want to abandon what was then like few song-drafts that we liked, and songs that we thought wouldn't fit anywhere later on. As a band we've probably changed a lot and it was a challenge to combine some of our older stuff with the new order of writing. Significant part of this album is made out of material that we started creating around our previous EP era. The second part was us experimenting with shifting it into new stylization and creating additional parts that would hint to the next release which should follow sooner than later.

A quite good examination of that musical process can be followed within the 10-minute-long-result of our closing track here, as it actually consists of a few shorter songs combined, with first basic takes coming from before QTTS EP, another parts building up through the last year, and additionally up to the last passage that got written barely before its recording. We sincerely hope you'll enjoy that.

Thanks to everyone who's ever supported us or waited so long to hear from us.
