There’s only one day left & then I promise I’ll forget. I asked for nothing and I was given so much less. Death’s bed lures me to disbelief, life support, life machine. Was there ever even a chance? To finally put out of mind, admit the implausible design of a dream that kept me alive. It was so simple in my head, just so hard to manifest. I once stood up so tall, thought I could see further than the rest. It’s my belief that we all dream of ultimately the same thing, but pride... our pride keeps us apart. Kept our love trapped in a cage- the ugly beast we learned to tame. So afraid, far too afraid. Suddenly the truth came clear, like colours bursting into air: a plateau on which we now both stand, so free from hurt & so free from them.

Brilliant album, I honestly can't remember the last time an album connected with me in such a way. In a world where a lot of music sounds stagnant GIVE sound fresh but with familiar elements. It evokes memories of Orange 9mm, Pearl Jam, Dead Kennedys, The Who & CIV among others. I would recommend this to anyone. james samociuk
