As the spontaneous has purpose
Head towards the source through reason
Please make it through
The pain to continue
Living with you
To be alive is a pursuit
Worthwhile of inspiration to other beings
Please make it through
The pain to continue
Living with you

Can you focus on what's absent
Rather than what remains near?
Disappear from these thoughts
Take leave
Withdraw from here
Next, you take a look around
And burn up all that is left
See deep into the expanse
Emptiness
A mind is bereft
Wish it was that easy
To reach the inner light
Sometimes you get so lonely
Won't do what is right

This is the story of everyone else
With extras passing by
In the scene of one's eye
Directors cast an ensemble production
Pulling stars from the fertile soil
There have always been diamonds elsewhere
The cutting room floor has shots of you
This is the story of everyone else
With extras passing by
In the scene of one's eye
Decommission illusions of grandeur
A hero's journey ends in the middle
Folk tales are respun for new audiences
For all to see themselves in clear view

I. Futility
Held in angel arms
Try and sustain yourself
To no avail
Held in angel arms
Try and sustain yourself
To no avail
It's the only thing
With dead certainty
To never fail
II. Transitory
Somebody is gone
Play a melody new
About your past
No, this couldn't last
And you knew this
So many hours for a glance
Pick the flesh and petals
To preserve the husk
Fulfilled as a shell
And growing backwards
It's all relative
What has changed
Somewhere it still remains
Well, here it pains
To see you ravaged by
Your rising age
Let's celebrate the day
That you lose everything
Cards laid out on the table
All in at the final hole
III. Empty

Soft Construction recommends:
If The Streets were darker and experimental. Brooding with wintery chillwave synths, powerful beats and cutting words.
go to album
Dense but cool, the EP feels like entering through a empty battlefield where you don't know which direction the shots flying above your head are gonna come from.
go to album
A jagged but pretty collection with lots of neat effects and warm, sweet personality. Listen for an exquisite fusion of noise and shoegaze and indie pop.

Continue Normal Living
by Absent City
Dreamy, intricate guitar pop from Oakland's Absent City; splashes of accordion, sitar, lap steel, and mandolin add textural richness.

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”
