Don’t think you’re getting away From all the things it has to say From all the vivid visions From thoughts that never end A simple piece of paper To blot out all reality To reveal the things unseen before To help you move up and transcend Are you going in the unknown Or going nowhere? The last thing that you’ll understand Before you melt into your sheets Surrender to the buzz you feel Give up on all your needs Is this what’s called enlightenment To see exactly how Earth turns Is this what’s called enlightenment Does it justify the ends Are you going in the unknown Or going nowhere? Dive in the darkness within Let it seep inside of you Dive in the madness within Let it wash all over you Don’t think you’re getting away From all the things it has to say From all the vivid visions From thoughts that never end A simple piece of paper To blot out all reality To reveal the things unseen before To help you move up and transcend Are you going in the unknown Or going nowhere? The last thing that you’ll understand Before you melt into your sheets Surrender to the buzz you feel Give up on all your needs Is this what’s called enlightenment To see exactly how Earth turns Is this what’s called enlightenment Does it justify the ends Are you going in the unknown Or going nowhere? Dive in the darkness within Let it seep inside of you Dive in the madness within Let it wash all over you

Get used to words left as debris Breathe in, breathe out Close your eyes and see And in the dark age of mankind Be sure to shine The bodies so pale they’re almost clear Dig under the ground Ferociously You have done harm, but others did worse Breathe in, breathe out Take a shot at trying to last In the cities locked up in glass We heard a rushing, a slow intake Of dark waters of madness and hate In the shape of things to come All is not lost, all is not done Be the future you want to live Keep the night from coming in Get used to words left as debris Breathe in, breathe out Close your eyes and see And in the dark age of mankind Be sure to shine And oh! how cold it is to the touch A jab that hurts ever so much Be safe, my darling, and be gone Breathe in, breathe out Can’t blame the global infection For the illness in them Those who say they love the land the most Would gladly rule over ashes if it made them kings Small, frail and brittle Vicious and unconstrained A thousand cities lie awake For the ray of light to split the sky

What would happen if I jumped? If I decided to lose my mind? Gaze in the void just to find myself Falling down How many people does it take To fill the void calling out my name And still, what difference does it make If it’s all vapid and mundane Come, hard candy, take my sight When the darkness turns to light Take my hand and lay me down Pull me harder Hungry bodies writhe in sync The primal rhythm coming from within Glistening sweat covering their eyes Back and forth Come, Give me a reason to finally give in Come and show me a reason Unabashed views and sounds In tiny bottles I swirl them around Headache inducing array of smells The sudden rush it makes in my veins Yet again, the void is calling out When the lights go off my head goes down Not a single drop goes to waste Pull me harder My bruised up knees are covered in cuts The motion loops, moving in and out My head against the cold, hard floor What fills me is warmer Come, Be my reason to finally give in Come, give me a reason

Damyata Datta Dayadhvam In all the turmoil and strife There’s peace, I found a place of tranquility Where the grass quietly sings Home only to the wind Empty space With no want and no envy No earthly desires indeed There I have heard the key Turn once in the prison door of the flesh Setting up to release Eternal knowing and bliss All thoughts draped by shining spiders, Who showed me all that is real A clouding of the sight A lamp A shooting star, a drop of dew A bubble in the stream And when I cease to be I’ll still live As eternal energy With no fear You’ll see No pain No restraints You will see From falsehood lead me to truth To light lead me away from darkness Lead me away from death Extinct the suffering Grant me peace Free me from my tainted self And let me be released Now it’s all dawning me You see, after all is said and done We’ll still be…! Damyata Datta Dayadhvam ॐ

I’m addicted to your kindness I’m addicted to your touch Can’t seem to ever get enough How come I always want you so much? If you let me try, I’ll behave I will fulfil your every need I’m addicted to you I’m never letting you go Don’t wanna fucking disappoint you Needless to say now I would do all in my might for you I’d crawl on my hands and knees Just to get closer Needless to say now I’ve spent time crying over you I’d wash away your pain with my tears And drown your fears It’s the furthest I can get Away from egocentricity It’s just a way of taking from you What you have given to me And I am giving you my best But is my best good enough for you? Is it getting closer now? Are we getting closer now? Don’t wanna fucking disappoint you

I feel their eyes on me I hear them scoff with every move that I make I know they’re watching me It’s a dog eat dog world with your life at stake I feel their eyes on me I hear them scoff with every move that I make I know they’re judging me It’s a dog eat dog world with your life at stake Save me from the wolves in the walls Suddenly I’m not welcome at home Save me from the wolves in the walls Your destiny’s sealed if you dare to oppose Do you hear them howl? They gather round to circle the prey Do you hear the noise? As they scratch their nails on the bricks and paint They watch your every move They want to mould you, change your every way And so they lie in wait And when they strike, it might all be too late Used to be hidden away Now from sheer numbers they’ve gained their strength They make up all new rules But as you adapt they change them anyway Save me from the wolves in the walls Suddenly I’m not welcome at home Save me from the wolves in the walls Your destiny’s sealed if you dare to oppose Whatever happened to those uncovered lies? Whatever happened to those unpunished crimes? It’s all over When the wolves come out of the walls

For what it’s worth, things remind me of you And the shadow of your smile And I know it’s all on my part The way I never said goodbye And I know the blame is all mine The way I let us grow apart I disappear like no one else does Stuck in still water till I drown I turned the river on us And it swallowed me up For what it’s worth, things remind me of you And the shadow of your smile All the things that need to be done To make me whole again All the things that need to be done So I will never fall apart All the things that need to be done To make me whole again All the things that need to be done So you will let me forgive myself Today I wish you well from afar To never really lose yourself You are the crack in the fabric of life The way you live inside my mind And the bitterness brought by the past Don’t eat it up until you choke Unless you want it that way Unless you want it that way

about

Split the sky is a summary of over 5 years of making music together, the effect of our musical journeys and the testament to the work we’ve put into the album, both musically and visually. We describe our music as heavy psychedelic – we’re inspired by psychedelic rock and stoner metal. We draw inspiration but never directly copy, we give our musical vibrations our own colour. You can listen to the effects on the album. Allow us to take you on a journey.
