Down on my knees, I am sifting through dust and rubble
Hopelessly looking for a sign of life
My will has been crippled by petty struggles
The fire inside me won't ignite
I never could've guessed how everything would be
The fog is spreading over everything I see
This weight has slowly dragged me down
With consequences unforeseen
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
That I'll never reach
Darkness has steadily covered
The path that I seek
I'm barely even living
Rotten to my core
Bitter and forsaken
Easily ignored
I've become the venom
That's seeping through my pores
Stumbling through vicious cycles
Begging you for more

There was a time when I wasn't confined
By the gaze of this mindless apparition
I was caught in the wake of one fatal mistake
And now this soul is demanding reparations
No one could see, no one believed
When it started I was shaken, I was begging for reprieve
Now I am wrought with agony
Tortured by the hunger of this monstrous disease
I never asked for this
Cursed by the devil's kiss
I cannot run forever
We cannot coexist
I can feel it growing stronger
I can feel it growing stronger
You are a parasite
Unholy seed inside
Still don't know where you came from
But now I recognize
I can feel it growing stronger
I can feel it growing stronger
Nightmare in the corner of my eye
How did we provoke it?
How can we survive?
Nightmare deep within my mind
How did we provoke it?
How can we survive?
Hollow eyes on every wall
Following the shadow's call
Silent scourge of flesh and bone
It knows we're here - it followed me home
It can't be seen
It can't be stopped
It will consume
Your every thought

Resolution of a new day
The illusion of a lost age
Calculating everything they say
Overcome the lies and let your mind escape
I recognized something to justify
But all their promises were hollow
So choose to live under the sedative
Or find another path to follow
Decipher signals in the smoke
Encoded in the words they spoke
Resolution of a new day
The illusion of a lost age
Calculating everything they say
Overcome the lies and let your mind escape
Composure - is just a way to bring us
One step closer to cooperation
Disorder - will be the force we need to
Move forward, and find the strength to
Leave it all behind
I took the time to make a connection
I tried to let go of all my misconceptions
But just when I thought a voice was near
Only echoes return to my ears
Decipher signals in the smoke
Encoded in the words they spoke
Let your deception be dispelled
And seek the answers for yourself
Resolution of a new day
The illusion of a lost age
Calculating everything they say
Overcome the lies and let your mind escape

Archaeologist San Jose, California
Archaeologist is either a band, a solo project, or something in between.
Established in 2013 by guitarist/vocalist Kyle Schaefer, currently based in the CA Bay Area.
Thanks for listening!
Archaeologist recommends:
Beautiful "prog-pop" with lots of jazz & math rock nuances throughout. One of the very best and most unique bands I know. I can't recommend this one enough!! Favorite track - Radiant Light Machines
go to album
The ridiculous new album from our Bay Area BFFs in Raiju. "Non Sequitur" is one hell of an achievement, with super-speed precision and sharp attention to detail. Favorite track - How Far We Fall
go to album
Really good instrumental math rock, with a healthy avoidance of current guitar trends and a wide spread of influence from bands like the Mars Volta, Tera Melos, and TFoT. Favorite track - Icicle Man

Love this combo! Solstice especially, invokes so many good feels that it should be illegal.

The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality.
