Reaching For Silence

Glass Houses 04:20
Broken hands Still reaching for meaning I am, I am a ghost And I am at home with this This is my reprieve I am a goat with three legs And one eye I am a ghost, still breathing I am alone in this You are alone as well In this glass house And I am now at home with this I am a ghost

A bitter pill Washed down with 30ml of complete systematic failure It’s been a while Since we touch the real sky This hopelessness, the decay The cancer running through our veins Voluntarily gagged and bound What does not kill us makes us ponder this hell It’s not the first time you’ve run from yourself 50 odd years of sleepless demolition Leaves you running in submission "Oh, the silent decay A dead end scape inside you (A dead end scape inside your heart) To keep running from” Say your prayers say your prayers my darling Together we’ll drown, in the cold silence The future we all knew we had coming Say your prayers, say your prayers, is this the end?

Epilogue 06:09
Stay away Stay away from here I know, I know what it looks like from a distance They can’t take our teeth But we’re still dead in water In a toxic neurosis I know I’m young but so are you They’re pressing the chisel into our biceps A reminder we walk alone We walk alone I can’t tell you how to feel Slowly the faces are distorting It’s in the trees, the tears, the calling The fabric of existence is breaking And the wind, she whispers, sweet nothings (While we sleep in darkness) To author our epilogue It makes me feel like I’m alive To author the epilogue Blindfolds aside As they fuck us from the inside I know, I know what it looks like from a distance I’m sick of counting sheep Just let me sleep and leave me the fuck alone. Stay away, stay away

I barely remember Clutched to the breast Of an aching shadow of a desperate lover I’m bleeding freely now My corpse, my lover The dripping strings pulled through my veins They’re so hard to find now I’m splitting apart beneath the surface The stars are weeping now Amongst the eternal darkness The only life left And soon there’ll be no more The emptiness that is my soul I haven’t seen myself in so long I haven’t seen myself in so long You left me drunk for years And waiting to wake in agony… And time stood still in her passing I’m splitting apart beneath the surface How long will you hold me tight? Crushing my chest, denying me of light All of my fucking life, I’ve dreamed of going limp in your arms The bars on my heart… “We’re never apart, those nights you ripped my flesh from bone. For that, I’ll never be alone… for now. You plague my most erotic nightmares and vivid dreams Every cold loveless night, you drive me to lunacy Raping me to tears Or at least so it seems

about

“Reaching For Silence” is a split release between Deadspace (Australia) and Happy Days (USA). On these recordings, Deadspace took the opportunity to experiment with the envelope of sound, attempting to create an atmosphere of melancholy and sonic beauty.

For the first time in their budding ‘career’, the songs do not follow a strict concept or storyline. Each song is, entirely, its own entity, covering topics such as isolation, introspection, despair, autonomy and nostalgia. Pushing all aspects to deeper, darker realms in the lore of melodic and harmonic ramblings.

The Deadspace side of this split contains a re-structured recording of ‘Nostalgia, Like A Plague, She Rapes Me To Sleep’ with the addition of guest vocals by Sam Dishington (Départe). It also features further guest vocals by Mares Refalæða (Rise Of Avernus) and additional violins by Fiona Gebauer.
