Recorded over christmas 2004, a song about feeling so far out you'll never find your way home again...
Story behind the song
At the time, i was suffering badly from both derealisation and depersonalisation, and struggling with the simplest things, in part from an inability to connect to the world around me.
Lyrics
When known is beyond knowing
Where far is distant sight
Inky black my arm extended
Blue clouds my head's respite
Tipping left in search of reason
Tilting right to touch the void
Blunt affect is the vacuum's triumph
Forever askew, drifting through the night
And the wind blows wild and frenzied
Ripping round my poisoned heart
Howling like a soul afflicted
Methane ice as hard as glass
From the depths in search of substance
To the sky where no sun shines
Looking down on this freezing hades
Forever askew, drifting through the night
