1.
Flesh 03:16
Desperate looking for a way out Scraping residue off of clouds Lacing ourselves Neglecting doubt of the about Correlating purpose with randomness Head first dive into the ocean Drown myself in my own thoughts and paranoia Window washer inside my skull Wiping away it all
2.
Swallow 03:33
Racing somewhere I don’t want to be day by day Future visions feeding fear of more of the same Swallowing a cyclone of monotony Crawling along broken paths of yesterday Hopeful cynics pushing to the front of the line A little evil sits inside of us It can’t hide Swallowing a cyclone of monotony Crawling along broken paths of yesterday Feet down to the ground Eyes up in the clouds Crawling along broken paths of yesterday
3.
Earwig 04:18
No sanctity for anything Remove the ink from the pen of certainty So violently we believe anything Like throwing darts in libraries And I know now that we are here for good And there’s nothing else that I would rather do... A sickening obsessiveness consuming us Eating away from inside like a tapeworm growing with time Try to starve it and you will just starve yourself And I know now that we are here for good And there’s nothing else that I would rather do than waste it all away
4.
Thrust 03:15
Do you want to throw away everything surrounding this soft sarcophagus? Lack of sympathy destroying my empathy Tearing my resemblance from my frozen lips Lost path slowly crumbling Removing from everything in a silent way Altar degenerate No good risking anything Fusing light and emptiness in a silent way In a silent way Reducing analogy Refusing insanity Can we never let go of nothing Lassoing default meaning Lacking strength repeating of any message that we can believe
5.
Bumblebee 04:01
When you dive like a bumblebee Blurry lights fly by flickering Rushing wind in ears whispering Damp insides lit up glistening Close your eyes Hold your breath Become less What you hide becomes what you are River red flowing through your arm Nowhere left after that first taste Of that place we were never meant "At this moment I feel no love for you at all. I never thought that would ever happen." When you dive like a bumblebee Will you land back here next to me Where we were for such a short time Can we ever return?
6.
Ooze 02:55
Self-prescribed permanence Easy to swallow Platitudes and nonsense comfort the ages There’s no end Deception Man’s best friend Until the end Incessant denial of the absolute An infinite revisal passed onto the youth
7.
Craving 02:35
Craving something left behind Saving nothing, wasting time Stumbling into the night Reaching into the thin air Grasping for something not there
8.
Drained 03:28
I feel the air leaving This place is deflating Symposium on fear of what lies waiting Siphoning the energy of youth as we travel further from the womb Can tragedy rebound? Or just cement itself into the hollow frame of personality The way the structure grows upon the pain we’ve known is just the natural course of this existence
9.
Crumble 04:26
This house is crashing down Collapsing on itself The memories inside vaporize It’s all the same for everyone in the end We’ll build it all again on top of the warm ash Countless times redone mindlessly I’ll tear my own house down before the underground To leave this place we’re in my own way
10.
Syringe 04:50
Nothing left inside me but silhouettes remain Mutual abandon takes scissors to the flame Fanning all the heat left in my chest Shadows walk beside me on trails built on shame Forward gliding motions by silent passengers Cornering myself with inaction If only for a day this plan was our own plan A syringe pushed into the evening setting sun Everything once shared has lost itself to time Secrets like cremations tossed up into the wind Mixing among every life once loved Every story told must come to its own end The storyteller’s demise, a cyclical nature Something that we all one day will share Happier alone

about

"Sleepwalk , who have quietly dropped a strong candidate for album of the year with Splatter. Not even open for debate, this tuneful slab of fuzz will be under serious consideration for the crown among aficionados of the genre." -DKFM Shoegaze Radio
