lyrics

looking to the waters at my feet
the depths below ripple in waves
sailing through the time and over me
this wind will blow so far away
folded up inside i clutch my knees
drifting away and out to sea
swallow to my heart i'm bleeding dry
time to collapse as time collides

i've been left far behind
i can't break through the surface
nobody can hear me
nobody can hear me through this

looking to my hands washed clean of shame
tides from below washes away
crushed inside all senses become numb
my head it throbs as thoughts decay
floating upside down over the trees
i'm letting go now my mind's at ease
thoughts of memories of things i've seen
the peace sets in and it's all a dream

ripping out i ripple down torn to the surface
venting out i'm melting down steaming at the face of it
escaping out i'm drowning now in this fluid silence
breathing nothing leaving all behind nothing left but this empty flesh of mine

That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites. Val Levitsky

Yep, it definitely has that Doubting Thomas / Skinny Puppy vibe with the programming and samples (though the vocals/lyrics are a little more straightforward and have their own flavor. Absolutely worth a spin. Jean-Paul DuQuette

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Her

supported by 9 fans who also own “Drift”

This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service. FLESH MECHANIC
