    Dear everyone,

    This is our first S/T EP and we are so happy to finally have it done out and ready to go to send it to labels, give it to friends/family, to bump it in your car, and to head bang your all day and night. We recorded this with Evin Huguenin. Half of it was recorded in his moms house. The other half was recorded in mill in Providence. It took awhile because the lyrics and songs go in order to make a story and we didn't want to throw a bunch of poop together. So this it! Our self titled EP called "Deprivation".

    Please promote the shit out of this! Myspace sucks but check us out etc for shows/tour. And we have a Facebook.

about

This album is a release to our vocalist, it was a way for him to filter his wonders, thoughts, dreams, fears, and questions. These songs go in order to create a story. These lyrics reflect how he feels and how he sees things. Through the lyrics there is a story and a truth. All of his lyrics have double meanings they are personal for him, but they are sugar-coated for other peoples ears.

The lyrics talk of a man who is sick of the life he has led for a long time. Fed up with society and expectations he looks in towards himself for what it means to be human. What is a human? He asks himself. The longer he looks the more he comes to realize that human beings are just animals and nothing more. The egotistical aura we put around ourselves is nothing more than a cloak to hide what we truly are, ravage animals. He ventures out into the woods and leaves all his memories and experiences behind. Only to be faced with the obstacles of survival, he presses on. The longer he goes on the more he wonders about and considers death. With the acceptance that this was his place and his natural environment comes to respect and love whats around him. He walks with the guilt of all the disrespectful humans before him he grieves. Asking mother earth for mercy and forgiveness as he goes on deeper into the foliage. Never to return for anyone or anything ever again.

Track Name: Waving Palms
Walking barefoot
Mud forms my foot prints
Cold and permanent
My path grows long

Outstretching over my head
Is the bark that nurtures me
Touching their green leaves
Is the night of eternity
Inside it's fog of darkness
I flee to set myself free
I swear and make an oath
Never to return to this vicinity

Waving palms, final words
Departures promise to this world

Fingerprint and hand creases
That speak the words of a wanderer
As they wave

Renounced and Refused
My presence is misused
I use these words as
Final glances at these doors
The ones confined to numbers
Made of bitterness and distrust
I will never let my hands grasp
Your handles made of broken promises

Waving Palms
Track Name: Cogiation
Self contained movement
Vicious travels ahead
Direction blind
Graves are breathing

Their mouths are filled with bodies
Heaving arms and legs
Through their tombstone teeth
They read off my name

Tree legs rooted and standing
Behind these helpless tombs
Are the watchmen of these pathways
That look up at me feet
Muddy eyes stare up at my toes
Planning to consume me
As they blink

Eyelids filled with soil cry

These being that join me
walk lonely and bare
Without tapestries
their fur and flesh exposed

As the stream flows long and down
I think of the joining of me and the ground
What will my wall of remembrance read?
I throw one last rock as I leave

Rock enters river as I leave
Track Name: Medicine Man
Freedom is an anxious wait
Thresholds block my only gates
Shivering in stale air
The frost bite reminds me it's unfair

Inhale instinct's breath
Lungs ache I await for death

I hold my hands to grasp the moon
Leaving the sky with no room
No expansion, no growth
Just like this worlds left me alone

Hands cupped around the throat
I plan never to let go
Give me my air back

The moon, this sky is still in my eyes
My only friend. Is there anything left?
Are graves my only place look?
When I look back at what this world has took
I am sick, Medicine man. What do I have left?
Track Name: Fervor Vigor
My hands chalked and blistered
Warmth, your voice is merely a whisper
Splintered desperation pricking my hands
Coarse wounds given to me by the land

Fervor Vigor

Final spark journey embarked
Now begins the final steps
Towards survival
Burn now.

Frustration in my hands
Veins pump blood that’s dry
Night closes her merciless eyes
No time left to blink
Combust burn now
Track Name: Sky Trapped
Cave walls at my sides
I feel their calling to my life
A storm has risen in the sky
It's screams are heard over mine
Thunderous boasting of herself
With her compassion upon me
And no one else

Rain falls, heavy and steady
Taking me before I'm ready
Breaking my concentration and it's levy

Mother don't forsaken me
I know it seems I've failed
But it's not all bland and pale
My screams show I entail to survive

Clear skies, trustworthy clouds

Accompany me to push over this whole earth
Precipitation persist to move

Clear skies, trustworthy clouds
Track Name: Trails
Are you hesitant of letting me in?
I've observed your stars for all these years.
You told me that you can't cradle again.
No affection to give the undeserving.
I ask you for your arms, your thunder.
You stroke my hair and rain your tears.
Confessing "There's nothing left
When I think of the last one
All I can remember is my kiss
upon his cold forehead".
I recall your poor down fall
how your sky was flooded with grey
And through my mistakes and marks
I've wounded your land leaving blood
And scars upon your pastures
But with this last trail of promises
Let me walk you, and feel you
Lend me your breeze and beauty
Let me feel as the first man on earth did
Mesmerized and enchanted
By the purity of your form and figure
