Shifting Sands
Memory Curse
Making memories last Is what I've lacked Can't seem to recall A single second of it all And why would I go back? It's done with, it's over now How can find a way to move on? Tell myself the truth of The sands of the past are not a beachfront property Nearly breaking down every week Forcing my way through agony Making a name for myself Without you here to congratulate The shifting grains compel me But there's nothing waiting there The holy matrimony is dead And I have to wake up How can find a way to move on? Tell myself the truth of The sands of time are not a beachfront property And I don't even want one

Well, here we have the first EP from my new solo project, which is positively smothered with melancholy. It is, unashamedly, a break-up record. The instrumentation takes equal inspiration from post-rock and emo, with a smattering of prog in there too.
