Monument, unsculpted / Melancholia / Masterpiece, abandoned / Melancholia / Numb limbs guide the pen struggling to name this place I could never see before / A monument, unsculpted / Vision stirs inside, always find my ink runs dry / Or am I going blind again? / Masterpiece, abandoned / Don’t stir / Don’t speak / Don’t breathe / Don’t think / Am I not made to co-create, generate? / With frozen tongue, I stagnate / Without my voice, can’t purify, exorcise / Sorrow wakes, fear arrives / Adrift / An architect with aching hands and failing sight / Builds a prison in his own mind / Believing himself buried within a sarcophagus of his own design / It materialized / No lock, no key / I could be free / By sheer will I free myself / I devour my own melancholia / Savor the daze of melancholia / Exalt the beauty in melancholia / Exit myself through melancholia / I devour my own melancholia / Diving deeper into melancholia / Offer up a prayer to melancholia / I have mastered my melancholia
The vocals are amazing in both Bereft and Augury + their buildup tracks right before. It's too bad that the instrumental version of this album isn't the actual instruments, so I can't rip them on Audacity. lesserknownsounds
I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching. Alice M.
I made love with my girlfriend so many times on this album. It is incredible. The songs are so beautiful and the rythm so well coordinated for this kind of moment... Anyway, always good to listen to it in the bus too Faugus
