Noah Boss Characters manages to sound simultaneously down-to-earth and otherworldly. This release is littered with memorable riffs and the texture work is ethereal. A beautiful EP. Favorite track: This Isn't So Bad.

1.
running over all the possible outcomes in my head finding new excuses, tying endless nooses around the throats of my friends suffocating underneath my own mind doing anything to escape
2.
All I can remember Is being terrified Of this very moment for my entire life I'm not sure why Surrender to the void; there is no light or arms to cradle you only dirt. Red, blue, green, Hues I've never seen Materialize On the films of my eyes Release belief, don't let them lie to you Slowly I leave the earth behind
3.
i'll do a flip on my way down life is shit and i'm done i want to fly before i hit the ground and die forget all memories and loved ones lost don't bring a gun that takes away all the fun
4.
Pale and white, the sun beats on my eyes Flashes of red across the skies Specks of darkness descend upon the light Ascending diagonals impede my vision Close your eyes and look into the end This life you've lived has yet to begin There's no puppeteer to help you, no one there to pull the strings And nobody here around you can do a thing With my hands in place, the light flickers and dies away Extinguishes the flame as the ashes turn to grey
5.
Incandescent 04:02
I can't afford the rent Or to pay off my school debt I can't do shit about anything Except smoke a couple more cigarettes And if I lay here for long enough it's almost like I'm dead I'm afraid I've entered a state of insecurity Panic, do nothing, feel sorry for myself I can't help it, I feel like shit Brain matter gnawing away at itself
6.
Losing 04:38
faker, i never believed one lie you said you suck, but not compared to this piece of shit complicated reasons not to exist so pick one and stick with it consciousness bleeds from a hole in the side of my head frustration seeps from wounds that i've left shrouding my body with pain, a sensation i've never known this is the end of me, fuck it, i'm alone
