lyrics

I never understood the rise and fall of the energy
Framed gold records lined the wall
There’s no satisfaction in a memory

Ears and eyes and nose and mouth created something that you liked
A case of medals sounds quite nice but the thrill of it has long declined

Talk to me
That’s all it takes to fill the gaps the little holes inside me
That’s what it takes for a bit of hope that something else will fill that empty space

I played gig in front of 20,000 family
Nighttime came and went away can’t ever sleep day after day

Olympic record won the race I’m slower now can’t keep the pace
Haunted by the starting gun I’m struggling to even run away

stunning post metal album, if being left alone on the uninhabited island for a long time with this record I won't be disappointed. Some of the songs has ridiculously catchy moments which really stuck in your brain like earworms. Song "Life" for example Riffmaster General
