1.
Fading 02:32
Outlines shift brown to gray. Time decays. Line them up, you’ll fade. You’ll fade too.
2.
Choke 02:28
Close your eyes, push it away. Same old stain every day. Winter comes with feeling inert. Bright outside, but lights feel bitter. Choke on fate, can’t accept it. Learn to flow, just can’t control it. Choke on fate, dried my mind out. Gone so soon. I can’t change it. A longing for burns forever.
3.
Only Forever 03:00
Hurts when you’re using my knife. Should I say it out loud? Our love was only forever; now it’s been thrown away. You look so cold when you’re holding my gun. Our love was only forever; now you look so cold.
4.
Wish 04:18
Do your eyes weep at all? Does your heart beat? Can you feel anything? The touch is cold. Sinking teeth, ashes now through the door. Left you to clean up the mess. Wish you’d never see me again. Sink into the time that’s passed, wishing you’d never think of me again.
5.
Arm's Length 03:16
Can’t unsee, eyes stay closed. It’s rotting away. Arm’s length stiffening, pendulum swings again. Wondering when we failed. Arm’s length stiffening, eyes are bleeding. Wondering when.
6.
Losing sleep in your name, in scale it’s all the same. Conscious, forget my plan. Angel in the sand. Harmony escaping me. Be here with everything. Can’t know how, so don’t look down. Can’t know how, I’m looking down.
7.
Burn 03:08
Desperate when I touch the floor, felt it so many times before. Every day it starts again, how the soul is desolate. Burning down at both ends, melt away from within. Desperate when I hear the noise, old fears make me start again. It’s everything that I expect, another day meant to forget.
8.
Untitled 03:28
It rains, but on my mind. Dry all the time.
9.
Waiting 04:40
Time slips my hands again. Waiting. A shadow on your trail now, he’s waiting for… Falling and running in place, waiting for nothing to come and take its shape. Wasting away. Flying into the sun again, you try but can’t get away. Can’t shake the feeling of the regret, learn to live with it. If I just had one, what to do with it?
10.
And On 04:30
Moving on because it’s all gone. Don’t care much to stay, throw yourself away. On and on. It’s burning. It’s hurting. On and on and on and on. Right through the brain, blow me away.

about

"Angel In The Sand" is about casting aside the practicality of life to pursue the trivial things which give meaning to one's self. Accepting and embracing the absurdity and infinity of existence. Many may find dread in the idea of living with no clear purpose or meaning, it's up to you to make your own. Comparing grains of sand to the infinite atoms in the void that make up reality, and making an attempt to see the good.

Since 2020, Leaving Time has created a distinct sound in the alternative rock realm, heard on their self-titled EP, and again on their 2022 follow-up, “II”. The band plays incredibly heavy both in recordings and live settings. With a foundation in hardcore bands, their attitude and expression transfer perfectly to this setting. Like their previous recordings, Leaving Time returned to local Florida engineer John Howard (Magnitude, Ecostrike) for their LP, primarily written throughout 2023. With the support of new master engineer Zac Montez (Cloakroom, Turnover, Nothing), this collection of songs sounds massive. The intro track builds a tense feeling with minimal guitar leads and heavy bass with toms. Later songs continue building on this feeling, like the explosive single, “Arm’s Length”. The flow of the songs allows listeners to reach these pressure release moments, like in “Waiting,” where drummer Jarod Whalen plays a mournful piano outro paired with an acoustic guitar. Small moments like these contrast the heaviness of the songs, showcasing Leaving Time’s dynamic songwriting.

With the heaviness portrayed on “Angel In The Sand,” the band closes with the song “And On,” about acknowledging pain but moving on. It’s not purely optimistic, but it again has a dynamic of contrasting emotions, brushed with dense yet beautiful sounds and melodies.
