Well I’m trying to see everything
Everything that brought us to this place
‘Cause I’m finding it’s hard to feel
Feel at home inside this sterile shell
Looking out into a brave new world
A world beyond the one I’ve known
I know I’m breathing but not the same
The same as when we felt the rain
The starlight bleeds for all our pain
‘Cause no one else will take the blame
The starlight blinds us from our shame
There’s nothing left to take away
All I see is our world in flames
Ablaze with devastating suffering
It’s a feeling that can’t escape
But, in vain, forever stays awake
Thinking backward only brings a fear
A fear that danger followed us here
To move forward I must believe
Believe that we can start again
The starlight bleeds for all our pain
‘Cause no one else will take the blame
The starlight blinds us from our shame
There’s nothing left to take away
Here inside this new cocoon, displaced from
Everything we knew and loved, so tragic
Somehow forget the old existence
Focus on the here and now, move past it
Stars, they must become our home, embrace it
Try to find some comfort in these changes
Hope remains the only thing to strive for
See a life beyond the Earth, and live it now
The starlight bleeds for all our pain
‘Cause no one else will take the blame
The starlight blinds us from our shame
There’s nothing left to take away

Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
