Description This started out as something I did on my own about a two years ago. It was the first thing I posted on macjams when I opened my account.
When This Caustic Autumn was formed last year this was one of the first songs we started working on, but it was a seemingly endless evolution. It took on a new form every time we played it, and just never felt ready to be recorded.
However, after Josh took over the position as drummer this song immediately took a leap in the right direction. After jamming on it only a few more times we set out to record it.
I've been tinkering with the guitar sound for a few weeks, between doing other things, and just got it sounding good a few days ago. I sat down yesterday and recorded some vocals for it and posted it, but changed my mind. I redid the vocals this afternoon and posted it again.
Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics I, in sideways strides, I half embrace what's been coded and eraced.
Enchanted cryptic hallways made of swollen casts in pairs.
Filled with ribbon and always paid by stolen masks who stare.
And I let myself be purged of everything. I stopped to talk to the water's edge.
My love might have been sore with me so I pretend I'm dead.

A pregnant pause. Mistrusted thoughts. intrinsic laws made to defy.
A stagnant cause holds out it's claws to the thinnest strands of you and I.
My love might have been sore with me, so I pretend I'm dead.

You carry such grand knives, and you know how to wield them.
You apologize, guilty, soft and crazy. But I know where the faults lie.
Sore with me, so I pretend I'm dead.

	my God man this is just incredible. the build in the intro up to the vocals is crazy powerful. Your drummer is SICK and the guitars sound amazing. The changeup to the slower pace is just as powerful in a differenct way, then when that stomp kicks in... good lord. Great song guys, really. The word 'epic' comes to mind. Album closer?

	... ok, i'm d'loading this time in case you delete it again! :D hey, cool vid you provided yesterday, btw. The live sound was rough as you said, but good enough to get the idea. nice job on the remix, and like I said on the prev version, great work all the way around.
