lyrics

Believing in love for life, in the essential harmony, seemed easy and also convenient.
That night I went out searching for innocence, the small things that inspire confidence and peacefulness

I planted my good intentions
they didn’t grow into flowers
they remained buried and became
heavy and dusty fossils.
I spread my seeds on dry soil
and they didn’t grow into flowers
all that I expected to be
was instead a ghost of myself

They watch me and they take for granted that I am one of them
while they drink their drinks with no conception of time.
They laugh and fight and shout but what I’m searching for is not here,
it’s not me part of this world

Shall I grow in this world?

I planted my good intentions
but they didn’t grow into flowers
they remained buried and they
became heavy and dusty fossils.
I spread my seeds on dry soil
and they didn’t grow into flowers
all that I expected to be
was instead a ghost of myself

Shall I grow in this world?
Am I apt for this world

I planted my good intentions
but they didn’t grow into flowers
they remained buried and they
became heavy and dusty fossils.
I spread my seeds on dry soil
and they didn’t grow into flowers
all that I expected to be
was instead a ghost of myself

All in all nothing happened, I just smelled the shit in it, if I’d searched for something usual I could’ve stayed locked in my room
If this is life, life sucks

Counterparts/Exalt Split EP
by Counterparts

supported by 5 fans who also own “Through the slums”

Raw, expressive, and achieves a remarkable balance between melody and sharp hardcore edge. It presents a type of duality that makes euphony and cacophony sound beautiful together, like rice and beans (a complete protein) :) Love the sound, this split demonstrates impressive talent! Kenny McGalem
