lyrics

Gasp of air from the doctor's table
The stillness is what's left
I walk these streets unstable
And all it does is take more water from my glass

The voice in my head says
Drink deep and let go
Watch the landslide
Bring down a mountain I thought would last

And the dust won't seem to settle
No, the dust won't seem to settle
Clouds of my father's

Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
Tumbling into the grave
Lids close, eyes roll
Your dreams know how to awake

Through the slate sky I squint
As I sit beside the grey wall
On the concrete steps and wonder
Were these two lives, with one hide
Always like this
Like oil and water?

And my stubbornness is a burden
Mother says it's a gift
A gift from my father's

Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
Tumbling into the grave
Lids close, eyes roll
Your dreams know how to awake

Everyone can see the signs on the road
They get smaller and smaller the farther and faster you go

And mistakes have always been made, when you look closer
Doesn't it all seem strange?
As you circle out again

I awoke with that littleness
That settles, settles, settles, deep in the pit
The hourglass is thin on love
But thick with the sick

Chromaparagon
by Moon Tooth

supported by 6 fans who also own “Monsoon”

Nonstop originality, virtuosic playing, ferocious and live energy. The passion is palpable, the songs feel unpredictable, a sincere sonic wilderness. Grandiose without pretension, chaotic without sloppiness. Singular in its vision. Moon Tooth are coming for the crown. Bruce Pandolfo

Maybe not that unique in their cataloque, but the same quality we have been used to hearing from them. They don't let you down. pghm

An absolute masterpiece - So glad I've come across these guys. I dare you to listen to Placeholder under the influence of a few drinks and tell me it isn't one of the best musical experiences of your life. Meshuggahboy
