Church Show Over
Well it's been a bit haha!
Sorry, life gets busy sometimes and well, I have been so busy with life stuff... it tends to pile up. I want you to know I thinking about you though...
FIRE and ASH as it was captured by Adil:
My many thanks are contained in the vid description, but this shit is literally not possible without friends and a supportive and loving community. Thank you so much to everyone that came out. And if you can't be here with us, get involved in a local art scene that inspires you! If you can't find it, build it. Passion for change will carry you and we are here to help too. This was honestly and extremely tough set (breaking 2 strings is not fun :( sorry guys), you tend to not catch a break in emotional hardcore... comes with the territory (screaming into the mic as a hobby, maybe not the best thing to do and live a normal life?). We met a lot of new people at this set, I can't piece it together why or how but I am grateful none the less. Somehow my Dad decided to show up to 6 hours away and this was many of my friends' first show. The support was insane and its the love that you show that allows our art to exist. Thank you so much and I only hope we can return the favor. Email is open any time, drop us a line and put us on.

A little reflection for those who read badly written notes like these
The new song we played during this church show I have labeled "Epilogue", it is about the unaddressed dysfunction in your life and realizing because of that you let feelings you used to hold so dear and care about vanish to only a numb disassociation. Death from a million tiny cuts so to say, and all you have left are the pieces of what used to be. Personally, I expect too much of myself and because of past experience I take a lot of responsibility in everything I do and want to do. Through all this I never ask for help, probably because my expectations of myself are so high and unreasonable I could not begin to explain or burden others with such a stupid task of what I'm trying to achieve. I hold on to a lot of anger and self hatred, voices I can't turn off, saying I'm clumsy and useless and just some failed human forcing himself to live despite being fundamentally broken. Disassociation from my feelings is how I always coped to the point I can now really only speak emotionally through music and because of music, stupid I know but this is my reality. Because of this I have lost the ability to care for someone I want to care for unconditionally. So what happens when you can't say goodbye to something that is lost? Well follows the ending to Epilogue... you try to rebuild it, a cerebral feeling with no words is still within you, you can only move forward and hope you can foster this flame and rebuild. As long as its a battle I want to fight, and I still do, I will see it through. Some things in life are worth fighting for and the hardest battle will be the one you face with yourself, maybe my life's a tragedy but I will never give up. You can't.
