On Friday December 3, I’ll be launching a brand new group of lyrics on the site.
Written over the past year, Between The Night And Day is made up of 13 new titles. The grouping focuses on confronting the past, how time reshapes perceptions of it and where that ultimately leads us. It also draws heavily on previous events as inspiration.
Preceding next year’s Diurnal, Between The Night And Day continues a trilogy started with 2018’s Nocturnal. Below is the order in which lyrics will appear on December 3. Beneath that is a preview of what to expect with something called Echoes From The Past.

Lyrics
With nothing else but false intent
There’s still no end to what’s in sight
You couldn’t cheat these future plans
As every chance collapsed in time
Lost In words you’ve always feared
Between your ears to disobey
Some echoes from the past returned
Informed to yearn for yesterday
Gas masks on, we run outside
There’s nowhere left for us to hide
While everybody speaks their minds to play them back again
Stretching out to fill the space
Beyond regret for what’s embraced
Until you get a little taste, it’s hard to understand
In planning for the noise that comes
Your senses numb to what’s transpired
Obsessed with thoughts evading you
Now cutting through the rising fire
Storming down these empty halls
From curtain calls you’ll disavow
Those razor wires that still protrude
They’ve all confused their purpose now
Gas masks on, we run outside
There’s nowhere left for us to hide
While everybody speaks their minds to play them back again
Stretching out to fill the space
Beyond regret for what’s embraced
Until you get a little taste, it’s hard to understand
Our echoes from the past return, ignored with any true concern
Recounting what we chose to burn and shed along the way
Our echoes from the past return, with lessons that we’ll never learn
Despite the things you might have heard, there’s nothing else to say
Gas masks on, we run outside
There’s nowhere left for us to hide
While everybody speaks their minds to play them back again
Stretching out to fill the space
Beyond regret for what’s embraced
Until you get a little taste, it’s hard to understand
Our echoes from the past, echoes from the past
Echoes from the past again
Our echoes from the past, echoes from the past
Echoes from the past again
