about

One of the first songs we wrote together as band, this originally released on our debut EP, Embers. Recorded fresh for COSMOSIS, this is 'Damaged Coda'

lyrics

Damaged Coda

When the sun has set
and the burdens are lifted
from the shoulders of souls
broken down and neglected,
and the specters of ghosts,
grown and worn out humans
dissolve into mirages
and smokescreen illusions arise-

-by their confessions will they be known,
by their actions their wills be shown,
by our transgressions humanity is scorned,
but we’re all children of Her-

-extensions, born out of this surface
and the depths of all history still boiling here beneath it,
as brutal as beautiful, thus, all the more confusing;
yet, perfectly placed is our position here;
so, why are we refusing
this place, this moment, this time?

My God, you are alive!
You gotta own it, dial in, hone it,
regardless of impediments,
in the face of all hesitance,
etch it in stone, and trace it in the sediment,
beyond belief, you’ve gotta know it’s self-evident
-the surest way...

When everything you know you could be,
everything you know that you are,
all that you would dare to believe,
is all you are afraid to start!

Unfolding all the things that you know you could be;
how will we know how this whole thing plays out?
You might say it’s too much to take on,
but I see that you are integral
You are integral!

Circling back to the start
Eat my mind and break my heart
Battered body torn apart
Circling back to the start

When everything you know you could be,
everything you know that you are,
all that you would dare to believe,
is all you are afraid to start

Unfolding all the things you know you could be;
how will we know how this whole thing plays out?
You might say it’s too much to take on,
but I see that you are integral to it all,
You are integral to it all!

Circling back to the start
Eat my mind and break my heart
Battered body torn apart
Circling back to the start

Everything you know you could be,
everything you know that you are,
all that you would dare to believe,
is all you are afraid to start

Unfolding all the things you know you could be
How will we know how this whole thing plays out?
You might say it’s too much to take on,
but I see that you are integral
You are integral to it all!

Circling back to the start
Eat my mind and break my heart
Battered body torn apart
Circling back to the start..
