Stride after stride
Just as mine
Further from you
Just as a tomb
Stride after stride
Just as mine
Further from you
Like wise a womb
Empty void in the sky
It comes in waves at night
Where were your arms outstretched
Weren't you supposed to catch
Voices muted lungs press
Inconsequential empty breath
Hope to find some source of depth
In the darkness nothing coalesced
It comes in waves
Chest pulsate
In a new kind of solitude I lay
Where was god
When you needed him the most
Where was god
Why'd he call you back to your post
Arbitrary lines
The sum of life
Shrinks with time
A second death denied
But I fear the ink in this pen will never dry
And I'll write the same poetry
Some letters you'll never read
To no reprieve
And I'll check the calendar days
Remember the words you'd say
I hope you believe
Delft blue and picture frames
Outlines are all that remains
And a space on the cabinet
With the Dalecarlian
And in a faux refrain
No resolution to gain
And when I lie awake
Attempting to relay
I will always remember
Those last few ounces of pressure
Now I'm alone
And you're just five pounds of carbon
A vacant hospital room to pack
They'll need this bed cleared when I get back
As the gaze shifts inward
Tracing another course
Somehow always keeping step with
Gathering storms
And always running due north
Searching through all the tapestries
And the compositions for faux reprieve
Another blank face
I am nothing more than just sweet rain
And the page
I'll make the whole world an enemy
Over a self inflicted elegy
Shy away just sweet rain over extend
Storied cut to short in a script I can't end
I am nothing
Just sweet rain
And the page
I am nothing
And now the gaze shifts inward
Ammonia patterned glass
Covered in sun-kissed cracks
And all this will come to pass
I'll turn around I'm coming back
Hang on I'm gone
My fault I'll drone on
Hang on I'm gone
I-80 not long

A Capsule In The Sediment
about
"Artificial Bouquet" is an eleven song album by Frail Body. Produced, engineered, and recorded by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording, and mastered by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor, Loma Prieta).
Opening track "Scaffolding" explodes out of the gate with dizzying speed before descending into a wash of discordant melody. "Berth" and "Critique Programme" then inject pulse-pounding tempo shifts and unorthodox heavy riffing into the fray. "Devotion" plays as a stunning ebb and flow epic that shows method to their musical chaos. "Monolith" and "Refrain" then blur the lines between post-hardcore and melodic black metal in their frantic approach. These lead to "No Resolution" and "Runaway"; two slow build numbers that showcase the otherworldly dynamics Frail Body possess. "Horizon Line" follows this path as it builds to bone-shaking crescendo. Lastly "Another Year Removed" serves as an instrumental bridge to closer "A Capsule In The Sediment". A song that empties the emotional tank for all to bear witness. All of it so raw and beautifully out of control.
Without question, "Artificial Bouquet" establishes Frail Body as leaders within the modern "screamo" movement. A shining example that the once dormant sub-genre continues to evolve and thrive for all the world to see.

Chat pile c’est une cuillère à soupe de Sonic Youth, une pincée de Ministry, une cuillère à café de Joy Division et le résultat est très très bon !!

Running you over with immense force. But also with enough emough emotional variation and depth that it actually manages to maintain evocative traction instead of running flat after the first impact. A rare achievemnt. (Yes, this is an extremely unconfortable tire-analogy and I am mostly not sorry) GeN2Mo

Such a unique, crushing and yes, catchy record. Having seen them live recently can also attest to the band’s incredible tightness and massive tones. Love this record and this band. rube
