For the Birds 04:44

Digging into the dark After a new start The light in my eyes taken from me A world so empty Essence stolen I promised that I'd not let go The Universe whispered to me Tonight and dance in euphoria Hold your breath, it's ecstasy Trust your instinct I, just another slave to the snow (you lay with fire, you get burned) And do I feed this cold I've always known (not everything that flies is an angel) "There's something waiting for you out there," Love and hope mean nothing to a hapless fool I loved who you were, creature not from Earth Made you what you are, no longer a star The Universe whispered to me Tonight and dance in euphoria Hold your breath, it's ecstasy Trust your instinct And if the sun never rose again Ignite my world in fantasy I'd hold my breath for eternity She'd be the last light that I'd ever see Memories are my bittersweet affliction I'll never let go Digging through this hole to find my heart Ignite my world in agony I should not exist without you This room so cold Digging through this hole to find my heart

You and Your Monkey 03:12

I chase your high Every night A fault in design Ahh Ahh Dressed in new skin Waiting on a second wind Taking me back to that high I'll never feel again Dressed in new skin Waiting for this life to end Taking me back to that high I'll never live again Wonder what you'll do Or what your gonna say Hoping for some peace, but it doesn't matter anyway All I ever do is run from my fears Hanging by my threads, can you please cut me outta here? Listening to your demons Through these crystal stars So, you sit with your demons And your crystal scars I chased your highs Every night The world passes while you're standing still You're slipping further, we can fucking tell I wonder where it is you lost your face? You must have dropped it when you made your choice The blade in the base of my spine must have been placed there by my own hand Since when has the poison been the answer? Since when has the cure been your fear? Since when has this poison been the answer? Since when has the cure been your fear? The whole world watched as I was standing still Slipping further, I could fucking tell I wonder where it is I left my face? I must have lost it when I chose my vice

Toma la Rata 04:45
lyrics

Who decides the game? Chasing your tails in blind faith Follow their lines, they end the same A trap an endless maze So tell me, what's this life if not to live by our own design? The walls still narrow The lines paint fine If you breathe, then why not fight? Who decides the game? Chasing your tails in blind faith Follow their lines, they end the same A trap an endless maze Time slips further With your nails, fists, and teeth Fight for a dream Stand for something Are you profit, or a human being? We're more alive... Than we think... We're more alive... Than we think... So tell me, who's the rat? Who decides the game? Chasing your tails in blind faith Follow their lines, they end the same A trap an endless maze

Geese! 02:46

This must be the end (must be...) Your empty promises engraved deep into my skin I'll fly again (I'll fly...) Away from misery This shadow has fallowed me The self-damning creation from all my greed I can't live with it anymore Save yourself. (I wish I knew how to love myself.) You'll need more, than I have to give Misery loves torture, and I'm its only motherfucking friend I wish I knew how to love myself Save your breath, that ship has fucking sailed Misery loves torture, and I'm its only motherfucking friend

I hate every inch you've become Been wasting my time on holding my tongue This is not something that you can undo So dress in new skin and see where that takes you Cold, as your hand slips through mine Home is fading away with time I wish my bones could lie where you left them last night Instead here I am at the fork Against my will I press on, nose to the grindstone for naught Empty hands, empty hearts (and now we merge...) I awaken to an endless line of death (daggers...) My empty hands are your empty heart You have cursed my name in bloody harmonies This is not something that you can undo Cold, as your hand slipped passed mine The Universe cut out my heart but I'll be fine Daggers are pressed deep into my eyes each time I leave my grave I'm hoping for death, but I'll be fine I wish my bones could lie where you left them last night Empty hands, empty hearts Against my will I press on, nose to the grindstone for naught Empty hands, empty hearts And now we merge Endless sorrow, an endless line of death Thought I told you to fuck off me And now we merge Who decides the game? This always ends the same And now we merge Fuck And now we merge Fucking... Move I wish my bones could lie where you left them last night Instead here I am at the fork Against my will I press on, nose to the grindstone for naught Empty hands, empty hearts And now we merge...

about

Iscah’s debut release. This EP talks about personal struggles, with addiction, loss, depression and how the cycle can be self-sustaining. In another perspective; people are animals; greedy, hungry, and selfish. Unapologetic in the fallout of our actions.

Animals admittedly took longer to produce than expected, but for the modern metal fans, there is a bit of something in each song to be loved. Taking influence from bands like Glass Cloud, The Contortionist and Monuments, the heavy promises to deliver as much as the melody.

The artwork was drawn by Matthew Soza.
