[Daniel:]
Breaking through,
into the screen
for nothing to conclude.
It lasts, and so?
Unloving, I chose to oppose.
Though you claim us, unchained and free?
Yet here I stand, everlasting and loving.
While here I suppose, wilted and given
while these hands tremble,
I’ll search and find, your miracle
[Alex & Kyle:]
Blinding light –
is it the end? Or a tunnel?
Endless blight –
Is it endurance? Are we helpless?
[Daniel:]
Yet – dare I choose to accept? It’s dust in my dreams, remarking how a moment’s breath drifts off without the wind. And so the darkness crept up, to rest beside our cursed heads. And so you spill your dreadfulness, dwindling from within.
How do you choose to burn so bright?
How do you kindle a warmer future?
A warm bright light enclosed
Shade of myself indisposed
So I shall fade or rage
Nurtured within your cage
No escaping
All along, I was you
Watching
I burn
In the dying of light
I burn blinding
And how do you live with such malice?
Suffered and calloused
In the dying of light, I burn
Blinding what you choose to see
A different understanding
Seared within a dream
I was your rage
Watchful from afar
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
