I want to dissolve on the outskirts of the world,
And I will tie the string to escape the other side.
Crowds of people praying on the body,
Using her as a host. A public, pregnant ceremony.
Preyed on and eyed,
You open the glass case of my gazing perfection.
Abandon the elders and run for the road.
I will light my body on fire before you get too close.
They trace the lines on my face;
Facing, I sit at the very edge of the bed.
Look at yourself in the mirror,
And try to remember who you really are.
Orbital puffiness; honey bee pollen;
I put my face on. I put my face back on.
Chuck full of heavy, chuggy riff-laden songs.
Really great to listen to in my studio, invigorating and inspiring. A great compilation and for a worthy cause too!

This album introduced me to Thou. At first I was disappointed that this was a one-off thing, but over time I warmed up to them. Now, they are probably my #1 favorite metal band of all time! Hedge Earthridge

One of the best sludge/doom albums ever made. Beautifully melodic and haunting heavy. A MUST have for any person who loves the genre. Thou is more than just sludge/doom. usversusthem94
