The Sleeper 04:22
I introduce what makes me scared A letter that was never sent Feeling piercing grasp of night Absent perception of light The heat being raised bit by bit Hard to notice or understand Small steps eventually had been done How would you name what we’ve become? I’m straying in the misty moon And passing the point of no return At midnight in the month of June As nothing will remain the same I introduced what makes me scared A letter that was never sent Opened my eyes when it’s too late Leaves falling down already dead Disintegrate to satisfy Reshape according to the plan Remove my chest my arms my brain How would you name what will remain? I’m straying in the misty moon And passing the point of no return At midnight in the month of June As nothing will remain the same Misty moon Month of June

Inkblot 05:47
What is expected from the likes of us Should I keep my head down and try to adapt? We're like an inkblot’s mirrored sides To be judged Who we are and what we illustrate We reflect each other’s hopes and fears Bound by Those walls that we learned to love I didn't defend myself ‘cause I sensed no harm But such good intentions can hold us back We're like an inkblot’s mirrored sides To be judged Who we are and what we illustrate We reflect each other’s hopes and fears Bound by Those walls that we learned to love I am a liar A truly unique design Made to suit your needs Put me on today I'll be what you need To look the best So well dressed For those that you say you don't care about A reflection from the past Defying boundaries of time With all of it's shapes and tones This blot defines us both

Scattered 04:08
Wintertime Photographs Final breath It is done Feel your sigh Thousand lies Carnival Costumes gone Gaze from afar Scattered line Came to an end My hands, your neck

Now it looks like I'm stuck In my favourite kind of place Should I convince myself to leave? Peace slowly fills my heart As melancholy invites me in A rope tightens 'round my neck Well, there are times when I try to run away But you keep on giving me more and more When I'm down you kindly provide me with a smile Then my head gets blurry I no longer see a way out You're my most favourite trap I am sure there were question marks On most days I clearly saw through your mask It’s not the biggest surprise The fun part is that I'll fall for you again Round and round I run I move forward I fall back My addiction My pride A fairly controlled breakdown Recently I stopped Caring to control you anymore A trap My favourite trap You are the colour that describes my life The colour that I often used to hide My favourite colour if someone asked me now You see In your shade so many lives have drowned

Inertia 08:29
Denial I can't hear you now Enjoying myself Can’t you join me now? Patterns are the same Into the gardens of delights I drift through night chasing light of day Still dancing in the dark, impulsively, enjoying shades of grey Looping all the time between the walls where nothing can be solved The insignificance is not a curse, it's just a test of will It's not my life that starts to fade It's just a lie Darkness around My love Darkness inside Your reflection Unawareness Perfect drug Running blind The tension rises driven by the hollow clockwork heart A substance set in endless motion, never meant to stop The only meaning is to thrive and stay in constant hunt The sleepless nights, the opened eyes, but truth is never there It's not a lie I start to fade It's just my life Realization Awaken in the break of day With a gentle kiss of sweet decay The pain is coming at the end Tomorrow I'll start it once again There’s nothing painful in this There's always something we miss Still nothing painful in this It’s true that our ignorance was bliss The curtain is lying on the ground The script extended with a crime The actress made her final sound Now buried in the sands of time There’s nothing painful in this There's always something we miss Still nothing painful in this It’s true that our ignorance was bliss Point Of No Return Stay with me awhile Waiting for the tide Lay my head to rest Mourning on your chest Drowning in the flood Of our own acts Final ray of light Fades into the dark

Wherever he may wander With his mastermind I’m possessed by his will And so confused Words without meaning Thoughts that I’m bleeding I do not recognize my actions Sound of reflection In this silent affection Just like a tear Falling down I am I am Trapped in a madman's mind It seems I am Living in his dream One day one day He’ll find himself awake And my world will come to an end My mindless spree goes on I do what I am told Sometimes I fool myself I’m the one in control Words without meaning Thoughts that I’m bleeding I do not recognize my actions Sound of reflection In this silent affection Just like a tear Falling down I am I am Trapped in a madman's mind It seems I am Living in his dream One day one day He’ll find himself awake And my world will come to an end Please don’t wake up Please don’t change a thing Please don't wake up Please don't change a thing You think I gave up And will serve you right Truth is I've just found a way To make our roles reverse

So it happened once again Another short-lived stir Isolated consciousness That refused to see To hear Spin of same ingredients Evolving recipe Giving birth to intellect That refuses to see To hear To feel Again Scraps of possibility Existence in between Flawless continuity Refused to be seen To hear To feel To fail I`m a suppressed scream Butchered to fit in A dried discarded branch Buried to be unseen One thing I ever wanted To repossess my own trail Pierce concrete ground of spite Despite the fear Scraps of possibility Existence in between Clandestine hypocrisy Still forbids to see To hear To feel To see To feel To fail… It’s been a long time since the first gasp or lie Passion and cry Years have passed No rumination Still no hope For us

In Mono 06:02
Yesterday’s worries now paint our reality We try to erase them, so far we can’t succeed It is a warning to who is following our path We thought this may come yet did not truly believe it

about

After a well-received debut album (Patterns in Parallel, 2019), the band is ready to release their second album titled "Colours of Continuity". Work on the latter was a much more collective effort than the debut and leans towards heavier and more energetic compositions.

Rarely can we understand and interpret things without a good perspective. "Colours of Continuity" is an album inspired by how things in life lead to one other, as well as our restless efforts to categorise them and our surrounding reality.
