Harrowed clouds sweep the ground A semblance of serenity and little sound Frozen oxygen takes my vision Condense my thought and stall ignition Too late To face This last Embrace In time Due time The cold Will break Things never what they seem A spirit trapped and lingering In the hall of monsters still A deeper curse that may destroy A valley deep as animus The architect of shadow Must wake from worlds obscene In my restless dreams Metropolis of ice and shadow Brooding ash disguised as snow Hellish creatures claim the city But not one of them will interest me Too late To face This last Embrace In time Due time The cold Will break Things never what they seem A spirit trapped and lingering In the hall of monsters still A deeper curse that may destroy A valley deep as animus The architect of shadow Must wake from worlds obscene In my restless dreams

Trespasser 04:38
The mist rolls by the windows Tranquillity lost to hail A traveller who's path had crossed with mine A smile of malcontent erupts From either side of the fog A test of grim decision to pass the time But are you as dark as you say? What lives did you take today? Cause you're a fool to think if The next is mine So just drop me off at the bay. Nine strikes of ink across the bicep His hands at ten and two An ordinary criminal visage "A mark for every kill" he glared A target for me at best I let him lure his ego to the mirage Are you as dark as you say? What lives did you take today? Cause you're a fool to think if The next is mine So just drop me off at the bay. The end is all that you have made clear to me Another victim of subtle lunacy I will show you real mercy Kill you quickly Never to be Seen again Drive... Drive... You were never as dark as you said For this world, you were better off dead Cause death is my ground And you were trespassing Dropped you off in the bay

Crawl Away 03:22
Mouth too big for your words A twisted mind absurd Delectable misinformant The truth for you lies dormant You fall in love so easy With any attention you seek The lowest fruit hangs sweetest For the snakes and the defeatists You think you are a spider on the wall But you're a target no one aims for at all With all those legs not one to stand on You broke them all yourself So I'll watch you Crawl Away A graze in all the cracks you try to fill Could send you off the edge in overkill Let's put your malice to the test A requiem for second best You think you are a spider on the wall But you're a target no one aims for at all With all those legs not one to stand on You broke them all yourself So I'll watch you Crawl Away In case you need the lines to write me out Remember one word to call Liar... You think you are a spider on the wall But you're a target no one aims for at all With all those legs not one to stand on You broke them all yourself So I'll watch you Crawl Away

about

Barren is a proof of concept EP made to showcase the makings of a future acoustic album. The theme of the album and EP is 'tension'. Realising that balancing the lessons learned from built tension and actively making time to release tension and handle it has been a huge learning curve for me in the past few months and was how a lot of these songs were born. This ENTIRE EP (barring the photography done by my girlfriend Alex) has been self engineered. Programmed drums were written by me, as were the bass lines, lyrics, vocal melodies, riffs, arrangements; I even mixed this myself. It is NOT a super-duper studio quality sound, this was made knowing that it sounded like it was made by a single person in an attic because... it was!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you all so much for the support. I truly hope I can one day make this my profession. Hope you enjoy!
