Losing Value

I’m still chasing
That harboured feeling
Hoping you’re up right now
To answer so unannounced
Felt awake in lazy light
Laying on the street
Glossy hair from summer’s heat
White stone in the tile of your bathroom
Consoling myself as I try to puke
Upstate while it rained almost all June
Not sure what else we were supposed to do
The phone, white on the front view
Like a car off the lot losing value
Who am I to spoil your point of view
Stone face
Awful
Bounded by decisions we made in the fall
I’ll slam my head against the wall
Walk into rooms like it’s something you own
I’ll bury my head beneath the soil
Nothing grows
Photos of us filling up the old walls
Don’t spill out anymore
I’m up and awake too late
Suddenly change
Something has changed in the way that you are
Frozen
Driving you home
Cement in the winding south
Stone face
Awful
Bounded by decisions we made in the fall
I’ll slam my head against the wall
Walk into rooms like it’s something you own

This balance
Days old questions
There's no way around it anymore
I cant choose between
Our existence
Out of context
Ranging gaps and in between
Dizzy, a part of violent dose of medicine
I can't erase this
Running my hands over the scars
Just to ensure we both exist
Distance, awake from hotels to shades
I can't make use of anything
Vines scored your right arm
That model 10 neatly in the palms of your hands
Passing lights out side of winter '09
I've been stuck in the snowfall of your windshield
The past you won't give up
I am losing you in the worst way I possibly could
I've been made of stone
Losing closure
Staying away from home
My reflection
Staring out the yellow moods
Staying low and try to hold on

But anyways I'm better now
Man I just passed out on the couch
Dog days blend into old pavement that I grew up through
Where you've been
Things start to blur as it kicks in
And I'm stuck with eyelids staying glued to you in noise
The most I can say is this
If I humoured you will I find the part of me I have missed
That I have missed
That I missed
For so long now
Knowing that I'm starting to remember cues
How floating this old feeling gets
I've chased it away for a long time
Just can't anymore
Like older taste
Take me, I can't anymore
My heart's in this
I've been losing it in blue skies over my head
If I fossilize while breathing air
The thought that Im tying up
I know somewhere I've got
These old photos in an older journal
Along I know that I have stayed here too long
Too long
Questions in between them
Staying in or staying out
Funny how it always ends up like this anyways
Stapling to finer ground
Saying what you want to say
Been there so many times I've lost count
Times I've lost my count

The feeling you get when you haven't been outside in a long time
Face it, I cant choose between the shades of those rooms
And those weeks getting fucked up in your bed when I cant move to save me
I'm staying In
I'm in circles now
Don't know how bad it's got
Until it breaks and drowns in sedatives
A mind falling apart
Greyscale around the city
Traffic's at a pause
And I can't begin to explain it
The melody's bizarre
Worried sounds
I'm stumbling out of it again
Foreign town will leave me
When I stay awake just to pass the time drinking
Blueing eyes, a bleeding septum
Dated from the sun
Grew inside a changing flight plan
To staying up all night
Greyscale around the city
Traffic's at a pause
And I can't begin to explain it
The melody's bizarre
God sakes you're telling me
The same old things you don't want me to hear
Yawn while telling me the same old things
The same old things

Artificial Joy

Drew a blank stare
Throwing quarters off the table, became impaired
Overcast in evening's fresh air
Downstairs snow is pushing artificial joy
And I feel like I'm halfway there
But the day's gone and I don't care
Looking like I just woke up
Canvas cloves
The ropes between us got thinner
Symmetry of days in my life
These days blend in with one another
Drew a blank stare
Throwing quarters off the table, became impaired
Overcast in evening's fresh air
Downstairs snow is pushing artificial joy
And I feel like I'm halfway there
Sunk into city life like dates in the cement
An empty mind quiet lying idle where I slept
How I used to pretend to relate
To the background tunes and foreplay in the rearview
Is this where I am supposed to be?
The day's gone
These bad habits taking over me
The same song, the same drive west
Like the grooves in my palm
I can stay gone from the space between our heads
Dizzy after everything that's wrong
If I stay in place my sleep evades
Ending up awake or just leave

supported by 6 fans who also own “Percia”
My favorite Math Rock band of all time, especially with the insane vocal harmonies going on.

supported by 5 fans who also own “Percia”
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.

This work embodies twists and turns with each song. Great buildups, great cut off points, atmospheric, heavy as well as bright all throughout. After many listens this album encapsulates math-rock/post-punk/post-rock exceptionally well.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.
