3+ years later and this trilogy is still unmatched. What a fucking epic piece

[@davidswiggett8389]

Totally agree

[@jordanglass256]

Pain Remains trilogy by Lorna Shore is on par I think

[@a_cats]

@@jordanglass256 Pain Remains is a masterpiece and I think it's better when it comes to making the listener feel a certain way. This is nicer to listen to while doing something else though since you're not really getting the full Pain Remains experience if you don't have the music video and the lyrics up while you're listening to it.

FUCKIN HELL.........if you guys read this let me just say this.....im a bloke from the UK I live a very simple life on a boat in the arse end of nowhere.........I like it like that as nobody bothers me ......I'm pushing the wrong end of 40 years old and grew up with the 80s and 90s rock ..........ive be looking for a few bands that can give you that feeling of lighting a spark of life inside you when you hear them.........Devin Townsend is one of those artists I've been into since the early 90s and have followed since then,he gave me that spark............But the other night I was sat on my boat watching the sun set .. I'd had a " home made cigarette " and things were chilled.......then the mara effect popped up on KZbin.........my heart jumped out of my chest .......I'd found my modern day Devin Townsend..........PERFECT LIFE MUSIC

~* Lyrics *~ ~*Part 1- I am never truly alone Acceptance is slipping in, gripping limbs It's crooked fingers intertwine They cradle us together A hundred years alone could never make it stop Push it back I cannot fit I cannot feel They should not see, suspended in time And their eyes are like razors the edges can sharpen the line This is love This is ordinary life What a thrill stringing up splendid lights to paralyze They burn to the touch Pretending at God Listen to the blood Razor blade eyes I want a Goddamn mess To ignite the fire I want to lie in severance Leave me to cut my teeth Pretending at God is a custom The vessel to syphon my love from Their eyes are a razor to cut me down, cut me down This is love This is love This is ordinary life What a thrill cheap enough to get caught on the edge this time Razor blade eyes This is love This is love Make it stop This is love This is love Make it stop Make it stop This is love This is love Make it stop This is love This is love This is love This is love This is love ~*10: 16- How can I feel existential in my dread? It’s my fear, I’m eternal And how can I feel existential in my dread? It’s my fear, I’m eternal” ~*Part 2- teeth in crumbs like sand in my mouth four little fingers keep pulling them out four little hands they keep pulling me pulling me down I try to grin, I try to scream please say anything the frequencies ringing it out where is love? are you ordinary with me now meet me down in the mud I will call on you when there's nothing left to say soon the hour will come look over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore I know I'm easily affected her arms are like a serpent spinning me around can she see? lights go out when there is nothing left to say soon the hour will come look over your shoulder there's no need to run anymore mirror me I'm down here in the mud this is ordinary in my suffering, there's no cheaper thrill it's malevolent can't go unaffected oh sing to me something sweet, threatening you cling to me blood of ophidian untell me help me I'm crippling you won't sacrifice my love meet me down in the mud ~*Part 3- I am a prisoner here weave the synthetic when wrapping up my wrists I don't truly dream when you're near loosen aesthetics remain asphyxiated on the paint peeling back from the door now I can see you for what you are she drew the shape on the floor now I can see the full spectrum how can I feel existential dread, it's my fear I am eternal hurt me with your mouth make me settle down whispering the words on the wind as they blow heartbeat in the nest, pressure on my chest where did all the signs of the dissonant go and when they tell me they pray for me and they lack a certain empathy the enemy hits me so low so the circles on the ground make me settle down hurt me, give me something from nothing this is the lie that you come from meet me down in the mud she is the mother and she loves it when we all hurt each other proud that her children are weak I am a language that you have hidden in a syllable and now you're refusing to speak I don't even cry anymore hurt me with your mouth make me settle down whispering the words on the wind as they blow heartbeat in the nest, pressure on my chest where did all the signs of the dissonant go and when they tell me they pray for me and they lack a certain empathy the enemy hits me so low so the circles on the ground make me settle down hurt me, give me something from nothing this is the lie that you come from my skin crawls my chest heaves punish me it's the effect of the mara
