Shattered by repeating heartbeats voiced by the machine Every trace of dreaming or sense of some relief It's a good sign that I'm breathing But nothing comes out when I scream The open water is where you'll sleep tonight Below the surface where our bodies are entwined An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light We'll keep you here til it feels right I swear you feel familiar Wearing someone else's skin Smiling at the sutures Where my cables become veins Is it a good thing I'm still bleeding? When my limbs won't let me leave The open water is where you'll sleep tonight Below the surface where our bodies are entwined An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light We'll keep you here til it feels... You were always on the inside That would be the safest place to hide Where my limbs wont let me leave Where my cables become veins The open water is where you'll sleep tonight Below the surface where our bodies are entwined An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light We'll hold you down til it feels right

Binary Lung (free) 03:59
Pull back the stitches To excavate your bones Each forgotten instrument Contracted to the cause Somehow its not enough Somehow we must learn To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung So we call this a saviour, while it anchors us down To reclaim the function While compromising form These structures seem familiar but without instruction we can never learn To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung while we call this a saviour, it will anchor us down To be weightless and stillborn We'll slip the shackles and rise up To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung To breathe unrestricted, by this binary lung so we called off the saviour, now we're ready to drown breathe slow...fade out Eyes closed...let go We are the architects of sleep

about

Twenty five minutes of stunning melodic post-rock/prog rock fury. Sky scraping guitars and powerful grooves all wrapped up in beautiful lucid instrumental sections that collide with pulverizing triple guitar assaults.

Effortlessly atmospheric and meticulously constructed, Atlas : Empire are your next favourite band. We demand them to be.
