Reach out
Touch doubt
Your hands tied
Eyes wide
Pushing in your sleep
Waiting just to weep
Suffer what you keep
Memory
Failing me
Pushing in your sleep
Waiting just to weep
Suffer what you keep

Everything
Collapsing
Sending us
Underground
Tunneling
Our only
Means for
Surviving
Crawling
Over everyone
King of
The mountain

I'm hating this feeling of fighting
Not sleeping, not eating, just digging
It's deeper, and wider than it was - Yesterday
I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
I can't get out.
By sweat,
By tears,
By god,
I will see this to its end
Working fast, working slow, it doesn't matter
Digging in, not digging out
It's deeper, and wider than it was - Yesterday
The work is my life now. It never ends.
I can't get out.
By sweat,
By tears,
By god,
I will see this to its end.

Medicine

We scrape aside
Sun drinks till dry
And come alive
Taste piece of mind
The payment is
Loving alone
Loving control
Believe
That you
Get what you need
The medicine
Losing life
Losing time
Believe
That you
Get what you need
Crawl back slowly
Head to head
Her earth is fed
No resting bed
We breathe again
Dig deep
Closer to sleep

I'm wasting away
for seconds I pray
to hide myself someday
I'm wasting away
for minutes I pray
to hide myself this day
Give Me
More Time
Buried
Alive
I'm wasting away
for hours I pray
to avoid a grave
I'm wasting away
eternity I pray
will follow me this day
Give me
More time
Buried
Alive
Every second counting.

Spire Song
02:38
|
|
||
|
MIles of pressure
Fields of fire
Mantle pulling
The Molten Spire
Folding mountains
Losing its shape
Seasons passing
Fragile frame, denied
The weight of the sea
Calling to me
The weight of the sea
Collides
Erode swiftly
Pulling at your teeth

Dead Crop
02:50
|
|
||
|
Planting crops
The tools are shop
Time will tell
Won't rain a drop
Digging Graves
With our bare hands
This crop will yield
A brand new man

Iron Tree
02:09
|
|
||
|
Years, forced to rise
Limbs, shift to eyes
Weight, pulling down
Sing, drink to drown
Heart roots move
Hands push through
Reaching, swollen skies
Shape shift, blossom eyes
Born from, stolen seed
Stand tall, die on your knees
Shed the skin, so it goes
As above, so below
No rest in sight
Final goodbye

Decades
03:44
|
|
||
|
We tell the tale our parents told
Plant the seed the thought will grow
Remove the soil, block out the sun
Pull up the trees, burrow below
Destruction is bliss
Dredge everything
Looking for this
Starting from a bare earth
Praying for rain to bring the birth
Open our eyes, blind by the sun
Decades passed, now it is done
Destruction is bliss
Dredge everything
Looking for this
I can't wait to reach the surface

Brothers

All that you can see
All that you will be
Buried in yourself
Burying yourself
In the cascade
Promises lost
In sand we save
Carve the name in slate
We split the earth
Down its seam
Brothers entwined
Symmetry made
Shuffle the soil
Swallow the core
Mind your work
Demand more
Bottom to top means
Chasing an unseen
Lost in an instant
Lost in an instinct
Reset the clock

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime.

A microtonal exploration of loss in which the technique is self-evident and the emotion is palpable. Most excellent.
