Allomaternal

by Stolas

supported by

SlashedSucubus The album is great, I have some songs that I don't really like, they're not bad, but they don't follow the beat and sound that some other song have, still a solid album. Favorite track: Allomaternal.

TeddyB The more I listen, the harder it is to stop. Very talented musicians who write complex and catchy tunes. Looking forward to their next release. Favorite track: Counterpoise.

porcelainheart- Wildly entertaining, energetic, fast-paced and full of life. FFO Circa Survive, Sianvar and Dance Gavin Dance. Favorite track: Hiraeth.

Be brave. We will set them free through love, blood, branches. Heaven awaits in a home we just left. Return the beating heart Feathers into the wind Find the absolute function Its natural rhythm Set them free We have to take The sky is an ocean Diving in, Diving into roots passing up time We're told nature is a story, collision of events grouped like constellations traced by the movement in your wrist Finding more wisdom in a lie truths we all miss mystical fevers drift through the mist a faded empty wish believing in our bodies convinced somewhere was a glitch Be brave What if her blood could dull the arrow? We will set them free. Be brave Heaven awaits in a home we just left When the morning breathes, you’ll breathe with it in mercy. An open-ended craft burning like a witch They all favored the stories, never saw it for what it is We're told nature is a story collision of events grouped like constellations traced by the movement in your wrist Finding more wisdom in a lie truths we all miss mystical fevers drift through the mist a faded empty wish believing in our bodies convinced somewhere was a glitch consistence in silence a good samaritan an air we’ve never felt Out in the distance I often witness violence in animals. It’s defined as the latest, an easy ambition a fever so vicious. Take a bow before they fall. I will hold you by your frame could have buried everything The Eye is unblinking. open. shut. perfection. That's why the breathing stopped you fear the living clock. The eyes follow doubt The eyes hollow out before they empty through the mouth. Will the soul be weighed? Does a journey await? The more time spent dreaming, the less I feel awake. Narrow spines we hold against evenings we build fires in. Please, keep it buried in the mist. Mend all the awkward ends, find the peace that we miss buried in the mist

The Hunter wakes and feels hungry neglecting time, will kill the weak No medicine will come of rain, craving wonder in a mystery Out of arrows, so she plants the seeds a solid promise to feed a need to worry Hands that come alive, grasping at the tree line. Hands free of all care Hands that guide the knife. Take what you want and discard your vices. What will you sacrifice to live this way? Betraying the distance You better stay out Take what you want, discard your vices What will you sacrifice to live this way? The malady invisible at the moment it’s first witnessed So just breathe. I can't with so much air alive to grant life the weak can only see. Hands that come alive, grasping at the tree line. Hands free from all care. Hands that guide the knife. Take what you want and discard your vices. What will you sacrifice to live this way? Betraying the distance You better stay out Her mouth is stitched with roots the earth refused to keep. She speaks escape in every place we sleep Her hands, soft skin A cure clawing for disease The serpent with its tail between its teeth Her eyes made bright with candles hewn from careful bones The wax it wanders, winds her throat Her breath is so loud Her mouth is stitched with roots the earth refused to keep She speaks escape and now I can't leave her flying out to roam all on her own You see the trembling on the ends of her wings? Because of you, it’s been shaking so consistently Leave behind the ghosts Leave behind the fires of home Every ounce of Hope is lost in the steps that we don’t know. Leave behind the ghosts Leave behind the fires of home Every ounce of Hope. Hands that guide the sharp edge will turn towards the rope.

Abandon the throne! Stars will explode! Why can’t I feel it underneath? Your teeth in deep They watch me bleed The ground gives under me Give up! Don’t try! Don’t try to save me--Run! It’s too late It’s okay These hands I’ll never love Keep your eyes peeled, he’s coming back He wants your heart He'll wrap his arms 'round your neck, sink his teeth into your skin He loves this chase. If you stick by my side, well be fine for a while... This wasn't planned, just omitted to save our lives Is this really it? Death sends a kiss and takes the ones we love. You know I won't leave The eyes follow me This knife was made to cut. Keep stabbing and ripping, Tearing at the throat This is the last time Now look in my eyes I’ll be watching for your Ghost There’s nothing left but the weight, an open silent mouth. A memory aligns in time My feet are frozen as we watch (cold and alone) for a brief moment (to each and his own) I can't stand to see her (sit in the throne) As he sinks his teeth into her skin. We have to try... Tame the beast! Distract the beast! Tame the strife! Are we strong enough? Find the peace, I see the light... I’m letting go of all I know Do I believe? Are we strong enough? Hide her eyes, we need to leave now! Carry on, stay by my side In the morning, we'll be fine Get off your knees! Let's be strong enough! She was ours but now she’s gone. Please, be strong enough. why? why even try? why? why do we try? This is the last time The reach from above I should have known. I would have held you close. right around the bend a beast would take your life whispered in your ear like a ghost words we never spoke Will you give life to me? Will you leave what's left for me? Are we chosen for the throne, chosen for the fire? Will you leave what's left for me? Abandon the throne! Stars will explode! Why can’t I feel it underneath? Your teeth in deep They watch me bleed The ground gives under me Give up!

I felt the mystic shadow persistence Feed my eyes, fill it up with lies Not hungry either way I keep eating more You know you control Make the change, erase the blame There's a way to fill that hole The surface the texture. Stern rigidity of stone The weather, the pressure The shifting of the snow Bridges are burning The rivers freezing cold Cross over and wait there You shouldn't travel alone All alone Don't travel alone On your own They could never hold the weight (We leave no room for mistakes) We'll take exactly what is ours. We'll leave no trace of a struggle now, we'll fight for our, our lives are one I'm keeping prey, I'm keeping time, I'm creeping close, I'll keep what's mine They're far back now, but I'll leave behind a ghost to show them I'm keeping time She's too far elusive and I'm too late to stop her Traces of her linger, destroying us, destroying us We'll never find a better person to chase Her trail lingers on, on and on She's got eyes full of gold and her wishes are leading her nowhere She thinks we've gone home It's a road that's far from over Let the search begin Let us write what was thought to be left undone Gather all that's ours to show her she's not the only one We'll never find a better person to chase, just the two of us

It wouldn’t leave me like it left them. Wait by the river, I'll bring her tethered. I want you to survive. Bone crushing bone, the roots exposed. Hot on the season, Sweat off this fever. I want you to survive. She said, “The Earth will provide as long as you feel it’s grasp. Nothing is had with promise of more.” Let's do it before she asks because the question won't be in words. Well then, let's tie her up, make this quick. Here, grab hold and I will fix the stitch. I kept stabbing at your chest like diving in water. Your ribcage denied me, but I would dig harder. I remember every word stumbling out of that mouth. I had to witness the last fumes. The last fumes that your lungs soak up. iIf we let you loose what would you do with your hands? We tied you up because if you had the chance you’d slaughter everyone of us. Would you let us live? I remember every word stumbling out of that mouth. I had to witness the last fumes. I remember every word stumbling out of that mouth. I had to witness the last fumes that your lungs soak up. Winding down the cosmic clock We wither when we grow up. Winding down the cosmic clock We start to bloom just before we rot. Winding down the cosmic clock We wither when we grow up. Dream within a dream When it ends, we turn to dust. When we rest, the world that we seek is within you and me. It’s held like a thought, and we traveled this far. Don’t let it go to waste. Find a way to leave this place.

Worm-eaten, rotten tenements inordinately burned Adjust the coordinates. Return it to the Earth. Leave! Leave it in the urn. Wait there for your turn. Leave it in the urn. Go on! Scripts blend What did they use to climb? I’m slipping off the wall! Go on! The Eye is unblinking. Open. Shut. Perfection. I'm slipping off the wall! Go on! She falls, gripping on to anything... It's thin... I can breathe much lighter than before. Air can stay trapped in graves. The air, it moves through living beings. Inhale clarity. I need a breath sustained with ease Exhale impurities. I need a breath sustained with ease fill my chest with oxygen The air, it moves through living beings. Inhale clarity. I need a breath sustained with ease fill my chest with consciousness. Move around, aiming the weapon: torment and anguish. The angle, the turret hitting the targets the man and his pulpit Stay in the grave, locked in a coffin. The angels would nail, yelling the loudest. Under the crown Barter, you maggot! Everything evil alone You wanted it dark? Hear the break in the bone. Go on! Scripts blend What did they use to climb? I’m slipping off the wall! Go on!

The Elders would take turns, using sticks to draw in dirt change in weather patterns. You would wake us up. Wake me up. I can’t believe what you say or what made you want to stay. I know there’s a plague, and those moments often vague will haunt you. Is he coming back? A devil dressed in red, crawling on the floor just like he did before... Undeserving lack of sleep Any chance to have a dream. I’d like to be with them. Any chance to have a dream. If I made the change on the note you wrote, would it even count? Any chance to have a dream Tore a hole it’s at the bottom of the bag. Now we watch it empty sand Smiling and laughing, my demons reacting. Please, take me instead. Does the light burn your skin? Is the sun blinding your eyes? Blood countess When the evening is ripe, all the mirrors will hide away. Blood countess I know there’s a plague, and those moments often vague will haunt you. I would start the search, but tonight you won’t wake up. Is he coming back? A devil dressed in red, crawling on the floor just like he did before. Undeserving lack of sleep Any chance to have a dream. I’d like to be with them. Any chance to have a dream. If I made the change on the note you wrote, would it even count? Any chance to have a dream Tore a hole it’s at the bottom of the bag. Now we watch it empty sand

I’m starting to forget what feelings bring threat. Silent thoughts The moments start wandering off, So I watch. As I stare into the night, branches crack the sky. I regret trying. Heart removal This is evil, every secret buried in holes Keep digging, and find the stones that I tripped over. When you left me on the ground Feathers you stole Let me drown in your eyes Is it safe on this side? Placement, Fibers Each thread is what separates me and you, closest to the edge. Humans leap off. I reached out for you. Humans leap off. I reached out. Did anybody hear your parting words? I think about it all the time. When you left me on the ground Feathers you stole Let me drown in your eyes Is it safe on this side? You’re far, Watched you drift away across infinite waves. You’re to blame. What arms will reach out in grace and bring me across so we don’t separate? Time is here now, it’s neck in my hands. Pressing harder... Pressing like it’s an empty tube. Time is here now, it’s neck in my hands. Pressing harder... Pressing like it’s an empty tube. Time is here now. It takes your hand like a bible, erasing memories You're an empty tube.
9.	Losing Wings 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Walked down the corridor, Embodied with anger. At last, I feel at ease. This lighthouse lost it’s beam. Stay hungry, stay alive. When it appears like the mountains have something to hide, travel away, missing the walls that kept you safe. Watch it sink Was it the weight? What if it’s the shape, or maybe a creature from underneath? Leave it alone! You don’t belong there! Do you remember that we have a destination in spite of what gets in our way? Each event Nothing stops you from zooming in. When it’s broken down, Nothing is left out. There won’t be any doubts. Stay hungry, stay alive. When it appears like the mountains have something to hide, travel away, missing the walls that kept you safe. Be the observer, distant like the Moon. No reason to worry when the wolf is howling at you. You’re the leader. You’ll find a way. Wise like an owl that sleeps through the day. Do you remember that we have a destination in spite of what gets in our way? Nothing is left out...

Our approach assures they will scatter! Slanted faces, we grab the edge. Light will reveal reflections we tend to hold. For many arms make a constitution of pitch. We could never view the soul, or could we? Give chase Build esteem Poison lesser minds You tell me to stop? If I did, this wall would fall… and you would be trapped underneath. The light reveals what's yours in time and holds it in place to guide the mind Attempts to heal Watcher provides Accurate measurements How deep, How wide? I’ll make the call. Keeps you wondering if I decide to leave. What is this need to reach out and touch it? Have we reached the peak? Will we never want to leave? Nectar nourish my body Feed it with lies Keep touching sand like shallow tides Beloved Sun, particles coating trees Clouds cast shadows, removing currency We keep climbing, you lead the way This is madness, we could fall. Just keep trying, remove the stain. This is madness, we want it all. Nectar nourish my body Feed it with lies Keep touching sand like shallow tides Beloved Sun, particles coating trees Clouds cast shadows, removing currency Attempts to heal Watcher provides Accurate measurements How deep, How wide? Have we reached the peak? This hole is my grave The more I realize The higher we climb This hole is my grave The higher we climb The more I realize This hole is my way to bury what remains. I can’t let you dig mine. It’s harder to breathe. The deeper the dive. This hole is my grave. I can’t let you dig mine. I have realized this hole is my grave I can’t let you dig mine.

Jon Mess is a lyrical beast. His scream is so unique and I'm in love with the fact that this project allows him to explore his voice a bit more (both literally and figuratively [those sing/screams on Honey Boo Buscemi and Meat Fetish are ufff]). Of course Will is the man, I see a different side of Matt (which is good), but i think the real star here is Martin. His heavier insight is truly what makes this album what it is. His riffs are heavy, progressive and oh so smart. Miguel Guzman
