PATHS
Two paths to take to get through the torment and pain, and with each path a mere glance will not show the end. To one side you have darkness & only a lantern to guide you through it, and to the other: illuminated colors of warmth showing you the way, although the sky is black as clouds boil like tar. Take no heed for warning and go with the warmth of colors that dance around like fireflies; believe their lies.
And as you walk along you notice the light pull away into obscurity, & what was the path has disappeared. Stuck in the blackness you hear creatures circle you, panicked as you not know how long they've been there, or how close they are.
One jumps at your back and sinks teeth into your neck. It does not tear, only pins you down as the other peel off the flesh of your legs.
You hear them gnaw on your bones, you feel them licking the blood off your skin, lie there knowing you killed yourself for pretty colors & a seemingly easier path. As frightening as the other seemed you realized the lantern would have allowed you to control the light on your way. You die in darkness, solemn, alone.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
