Listen "Splinters & Myths"
Episode Synopsis
Originally recorded in 2017 for The Killing Swarm's "Splinters & Myths"
Can't get off the pyre to save my life
Splinters and myths are stacked twelve feet high
Set it alight just because we're there
This ain't how we're meant to be
This is the situation
Words cannot convey
This is my resignation
It's where I stand today
Still allowed to choose my fate for now
Then we fade away
Who I choose to be and what I choose to see
Another look before the attack
The signs alive and held firmly in check
And then the sound comes and it never relents
Honing time into a blade
Scratch and fight for a song in the night
Splinters and myths burn by candlelight
A story well told too true to be good
With an ending yet unwritten
This is the situation
Words cannot convey
This is my resignation
It's where I stand today
Still allowed to choose my fate for now
Then we fade away
Who I choose to be and what I choose to see
Sit down sailor and listen to a tale
Of how we unravel and where to pull the thread
Dig deep enough and you'll find the pulse
Held in place by duct-taped dreams
Sinners and thieves next to nurturing kind
Splinters and myths that stretch three miles wide
You can see it from space but not in front your face
And the periphery is clear
This is the situation
Words cannot convey
This is my resignation
It's where I stand today
Still allowed to choose my fate for now
Then we fade away
Who I choose to be and what I choose to see
John Makarewicz - Drums
Nick Nunziata - Bass, Vocals
Steve Murphy - Backing Vocals
