Just Go

Anytime we try
To talk about this
It always ends
In a silent stare
You rehearse
And I evade
Nothing gets better
Nothing is there
Please go
We’ve done enough
And there’s no reason
To sustain the pain
Please go
We had our time
Nothing means anything
Nothing is true
Just go
Please just go
Just go
Please just go
I made the time
And you ignored me
I gave ground
And you attacked
Can we just stop
It doesn’t matter
Forget my number
Forget my face
Please go
We’ve done enough
And there’s no reason
To sustain the pain
Please go
We had our time
Nothing means anything
Nothing is true
Just go
Please just go
Just go
Please just go
Please go
We’ve done enough
And there’s no reason
To sustain the pain
Please go
We had our time
Nothing means anything
Nothing is true
Just go
Please just go
Just go
Please just go
Please go
We’ve done enough
And there’s no reason
To sustain the pain
Please go
We had our time
Nothing means anything
Nothing is true
Just go
Please just go
Just go
Please just go

Lament
03:43

The world has lost its voice
Screams collide with screens
We’re given little choice
We rage inside our dreams
Our days are spent in deep lament
Wail away in vain
Tear our hair in deep despair
Sublimate our pain
In silence spines will break
It has to go somewhere
Always so much at stake
The quiet is hard to bear
Our days are spent in deep lament
Wail away in vain
Tear our hair in deep despair
Sublimate our pain
Our days are spent in deep lament
Wail away in vain
Tear our hair in deep despair
Sublimate our pain
Our days are spent in deep lament
Wail away in vain
Tear our hair in deep despair
Sublimate our pain

You Reminded Me
04:48

You have your reasons
For remembering seasons
When our lives were hard and low
That’s not what where we are
I ran so far
But that was so long ago
I find you remind me of when
We didn’t imagine
Living through this again
Behind us, yet it binds us to pain
I’ve come inside - stop screaming in the rain
You have a knack
For going off track
And no one knows where you’ve gone
We’re all back here
What do you fear
Could it be worse than it was back then?
I find you remind me of when
We didn’t imagine
Living through this again
Behind us, yet it binds us to pain
I’ve come inside - stop screaming in the rain
I find you remind me of when
We didn’t imagine
Living through this again
Behind us, yet it binds us to pain
I’ve come inside - stop screaming in the rain
I find you remind me of when
We didn’t imagine
Living through this again
Behind us, yet it binds us to pain
I’ve come inside - stop screaming in the rain
Stop screaming in the rain

Coldly
02:56

You permitted this: time is running dry
A spell you cast, how long can you last
Even the thirst has gone
Dust and sand have won
Your fangs worn smooth
It’s just a smile
Scream
It won’t change the fact
Your charms don’t beguile
Your gaze does not attract
Coldly
Lie loveless beneath the moon
Never had a second plan
Your seduction is out of tune
There were moments
At least there must have been
Slip through your fingers
Too fuzzy to recall
Small comfort in the cold
Pain of ages taking hold
The world once opened to you
Scream
It won’t change the fact
Your charms don’t beguile
Your gaze does not attract
Coldly
Lie loveless beneath the moon
Never had a second plan
Your seduction is out of tune
Scream
It won’t change the fact
Your charms don’t beguile
Your gaze does not attract
Coldly
Lie loveless beneath the moon
Never had a second plan
Your seduction is out of tune
Scream

Mistaken

I was mistaken
Thought I could see
What was in your heart
And that’s all on me
There was no reason
The cards are silent
On why it all started
And the end felt so violent
I’ve tried to forget your name
A hundred years and the wound is the same
In darkness I bleed
I long to be freed
There was light in my world
Before you came
I’ve lost all my interest
My joy is gone
I walked into this hell
You knew all along
I cast the bones
They couldn’t see you
I studied the stones
They betrayed me too
I’ve tried to forget your name
A hundred years and the wound is the same
In darkness I bleed
I long to be freed
There was light in my world
Before you came
I’ve tried to forget your name
A hundred years and the wound is the same
In darkness I bleed
I long to be freed
There was light in my world
Before you came
I’ve tried to forget your name
A hundred years and the wound is the same
In darkness I bleed
I long to be freed
There was light in my world
Before you came

The Less That Is Said
04:30
|

|
Listen to what they say
They can't hear us anyway
They’ve all come to their knees to pray
What’s the use in trying?
I’ve said all I could with crying
In the noise it’s hard to hear
Listen to what they say
They can’t hear us anyway
The colors all turn to grey
Why stay here
Is it just to keep you near
Is it really the end
The less that is said
The more we are misled
Why can’t we sing instead
It seems we have the right
If not to speak and not to fight
To be seen in this sea of red

Repertoire

Echoes of words said and done
Moments I know I’ve lived before
These errors, were they yours or were they mine
Repeating regrets from long ago
Here again round and around with you
It sometimes seems like all we ever do
I begin, you’re skipping to the end
You fall down, watching me ascend
Living is spiraling the grave
Moments we discard and memories we save
Spending and wasting feel the same
Years of obscurity
Seconds forgotten in fame
Here again round and around with you
It sometimes seems like all we ever do
I begin, you’re skipping to the end
You fall down, watching me ascend
Bridge:
Is it worth it when we break?
Because of our mistakes?
I’m not sure if there’s time
To fix these lives of mine.
Here again round and round with you
It sometimes seems it's all we ever do
I begin, you’re skipping to the end
You fall down, watching me ascend
Here again round and round with you
It sometimes seems like all we ever do
I begin, you’re skipping to the end
You fall down, watching me ascend
Here again round and round with you
It sometimes seems it's all we ever do
You fall down, I hold on to the wheel
You rise, I fall, I reign, and you kneel

Hyperestis Portland, Oregon
Somewhere in the landscape between darkwave and dream-pop, Portland, Oregon's Hyperestis ("high priestess") creates music with mournful vocals, synth sounds reminiscent of the late 80s, and darkly poetic lyrics, with sparing use of guitar and bass.
Hyperestis recommends:
Briar Moth's dark monotone complements these beatful and beautiful atmospheric soundscapes.

until the world stops hurting

Album starts beautiful right off with Above Alpine, and does not stop. It is a very deep album, and you become lost in it. It is a wonderful place to be lost in.
