Stretching Arms, Shaking Hands

from Being Without by Barrow

	/

lyrics

Returning glances to black-patterned eyelids. Demeaning slowly with self-centered silence. Lead me into my own abyss. [...] I can feel the shadow of your hand creeping up every single inch of my body. You have nothing to offer. You are nothing to me. Nothing remains, but a matter of duplicity. How long do I have to wander? I've felt the fear and cold, but you still have your hold. An apparition to ponder; your form, it breathes deceit. Your touch has branded me. You have led me through night after night of misguided thoughts and lack of direction. I have become yours, you have become mine. Intervention. Failure. Remorse. Your foundation is shaken with every laugh, every smile, every institution of confidence. You will be evicted from a home that was never your own. Each one of these eyes seeks out a different conclusion.

We Can Create Our Own World
by Deadhorse

Deadhorse's "We Can Create Our Own World" evokes such an incomprehensible amount of words and emotions without ever saying a thing. Beautiful, encompassing, awe-inspiring instrumental music. Barrow

Pagan Games
by Grant Livesay

"Pagan Games" is a shining example of Grant Livesay's mind-boggling, artistic work. It would be difficult to refer to it in terms of strict technicality or experimentation; all you can do is listen. Barrow
