Miff Morris There so many beautiful strains of hope & determination strewn amongst this stricking concept album. I do not know if that was a conscious or unconscious element to the compositions but after absorbing in its entirety i come away with the feeling that this album most certainly owns strong healing qualities as the instrumentation reaches deep into the heart and mind, in an empowering way and allows anyone who embraces it to understand the positivity of creative expression. Favorite track: I Can't Do This.

1.
I want to talk But I've got nothing to say I want to walk But everywhere looks the same I want to love But all I feel is pain I want to leave I do not want to stay Forever forgotten
2.
3.
There's no way out from here And I'm falling apart my dear The gears turn slowly But they crush down on me True happiness comes from inside I'm too empty too feel it I only want to know how it feels
4.
So what's the point? In laying out the cards and keeping score? Cause it will be Always the same mess it was before I have tried a million times But nothing seems to satisfy I fill the void i have inside But nothing fills my appetite. So why go on? There's only gonna be more problems To hold me back Another sleepless night panic attack And I can't breath When somebody looks up and talks to me Whats the point? Why go on?
5.
I feel bad On my own I never get Anything done My heads a mess I'm down in the dumps It seems I'm not good enough I do not want to be saved And I'm always sad And I don't often get out of bed And I'm always down But I'm always around I do not want to be saved anymore And I feel bad All the time And I hate my life And I hate myself And I do not want to be saved
6.
I've seen it all now So what's the point in moving on? How can I smile? when everything feels wrong I'm so cold But I cannot shake anymore It's getting harder to hold on. I'm so sad But I cannot cry anymore It's getting harder to hold on This feels right I'm getting weaker and I collapse in a heap I'll let the sadness carry me to sleep I'm so cold But I cannot shake anymore It's getting harder to hold on. I'm so sad But I cannot cry anymore It's getting harder to hold on This feels right I'm ready to let go
7.
Everyone I love will die Everything I love will fade away We are rocks and dust and stars and rotting leaves We will waste away and burn and atrophy Everything I worked so hard to achieve will disappear And even my grave will wear to dust The strings that hold this melody will rust And in a hundred thousand years No one will know I was ever here The sun will burn out the sky The sea will freeze and the animals will die There'll be rocks and dust and stars and dying trees There'll be no war or hate or famine or disease Everything we worked so hard to achieve will disappear All of our buildings will collapse And our kingdoms will fall into ash In a hundred million years no one will know we were ever here. Everyone I love will die

about

I went outside, I could hear the houses breathing, they were alive: a concept album about depression.

This album features ambient interludes, post-rock crescendos, and hazy shoegaze passages presented in a disorienting cloud of reverb and finished with a raw lo-fi edge.

This album is probably the closest I will come to explaining what it feels like to suffer from depression.
