lyrics

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

Archaeologist recommends:

On to the Moon
by Vesper Sails

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 Archaeologist

Non Sequitur
by Raiju

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 Archaeologist
go to album
Don't Do It
by Granite Hands

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 Archaeologist
