about

First track of the new E.P. "Echoing Silence of an Empty Wall", released in spring 2011.

lyrics

In the back of my head,
Only the eerie sound of falling sand
And below, the level just keeps rising.
As I see all around me perish.
Will I wither or remold into gold?

No more waiting,
No more numbness.

These once steady castles I trusted on,
Fall apart into these grains,
Through the narrowing glass,
Never to return.

Tend to get lost in this desert,
Try to escape before the turn.
Book by book I close,
Never to open a new.
