Intro 03:54
I remember when I first met you, girl. Your hair was so long, it was like it flowed from heaven. And I thought that one day, just one day, something great would happen between us. So jump eight years later, on a cold, January day. Your smile warmed me. It was the ultimate purity. But the hill that you walked up to your house? It still saddens me to this day, cause that's where I looked deep in the near-black circle, and asked you to take my hand. But you refused, you left, and left me alone, to rot in the bottomless black circle. You don't know how badly that hurt me. I'm still injured after this long, and you ignored me down there each time you passed. It'll never, ever be the same. It's a shame that I have to do this, because if it weren't for your nonsense, it wouldn't be like this. I wouldn't have to be left to die in a hole. But it's your own fault. And all of this is for you. All of this. All of this is for you.

For Love 10:45
Look inside this little stream. Your mother made this so it seems. Buried deep in quicksand, the tears did nothing for you, no longer will you stand. Tragedy struck your ears and your eyes, this house on this elevation I never cared about. A nightmare repressed and my war horse has been fatally shot in the heart. Tragedy struck your eyes and your ears, this house on this elevation... Which I'll lay upon and you'll laugh at me. Your hand smothers the bleeding cheeks of my eyes. And you'll not gasp but laugh. This love you never got to have is there. It's there. It is there. You are just a child. Depression, conviction, all in the river. Why are you so wild? I wouldn't do anything, it's fucking over. Why are you so upset? I would do anything for your love. Why are you so upset? I wouldn't do anything for your love.

Colourblind 10:43
You saw her eyes, you saw her cry, but do you know how good people can try? You give a sigh, you'd wish you die, but instead you heard her lies. But don't you understand, this is the last stand, please understand. You don't see art, inside my heart, from a person like you, that's a goddamn shame. It's torn apart, off the chart, you don't know how I feel and I said "God, that's a shame." Answers I have to desperately find, you don't see what I'm seeing, you're too colorblind. There goes my trust, no more thrusts, nor lust. She is a devil disguised as an angel, but since you don't know that, that makes you one, too. She needs to wake up, shape up and ask "How do you do?" Instead of throwing out my whereabouts and all of my doubts. She can lie, she can't cry, she won't die, she shouldn't try. Don't go on her side. It will just blacken the sky and anger the tide. Don't say what I can do, but that's all the satisfaction you will ever get in life. Only the man in the sky can tell me what's wrong or right. Don't question my conscience nor morality on some stupid little teen who treated me like royalty. Even with all of the food you could eat, she was far from a queen, her hands weren't clean. She tossed me aside, and you did too. Now one thing's for sure, there's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love. There's no more love.

Lighthouse 04:43
I see you made it on top of the lighthouse. It was so beautiful that you could see the skies touch your hair. But as I saw the photo of you standing there I felt a different side of you. Where you weren't so ravishing, on top of another's love. Going with your friend to unknown territory were you could cleanse and find someone who would find you refuge. And I tried to give you just that, but you refused. You must act differently around sand than snow. If you're feeling like a kid, or admiring the palm trees, then you should better go. Cause I'm tired of all the hate you've been giving me, especially when I never gave any to you, nothing like this. You better open your eyes, stop watching the skies and realize that around me, home is not where your heart is.

Slide 10:35
It's January, and it looks like you've grown on me. An imperfect beauty sits beside me. Her dirty blonde hair rests upon my shoulder. I stare at her in amazement, my, and in happiness. She abruptly stops, and stands up. Walks away, up the white hill, never to be seen again. It's February, and bitterly cold. I beg to change my life by adding you in it. I never saw you refuse that much. My eyes tear up, I'm angry. Your beautiful pallor shines. I am weak. You explain your reasoning. It disrupts my utopia, my future. You as my wife, my impeccable life.... It's quiet. No more love, nor connection. But I always gaze at you in awe, like the stars in the sky. You were true, and that's why I loved you. Your laugh, that face, your stories. I miss it all, I need you.... Why is she gone? Leave, leave her be. She's my fantasy. Slide, slide with me. Where is she now? Dead, dead to me. But my love, she can't be. Slide, slide with me. Slide, slide, slide.

We'll walk this hill And we'll fall in love

Omaha 11:35
The leaves upon the sidewalk they just look like burning fire. Cause I realized you're the god for all the damned and that you're such a liar. I don't know what you saw that made you run like you've went wild. But I realized that around all of the damned that you act like a child. That's when I stopped and gazed into the beauty of your eyes. How could I forget that you were made with many different faces. And that part of me was never a part of you. I miss you... I miss you... I miss you... I love you... The less fortunate now have to walk upon this hill. Of despair, do or dare, but you don't really care. I carried this burden, across, hanging on a wall. To show you all that I died for your sins, I was crucified, I was hung by a wire, I was trapped in an ocean, for love, for you. Come with me, take my hand, wander through these fields in Omaha. We could be free, we could live in peace, we can live in harmony. You took a horse, let the earth decompose my corpse. How dare you. I should have never trusted you, the red is on the floor and in my memory. I find it such a shame; it was so easy for god to remind me of what could be. I gave you respect, but you chose to go to a more moral soul. How dare you. It's all your fault, it's all your fault... How dare you. How dare you. Your heart's not beating.

Re-recording "Pallor" been a dream of ours for the past four years or so and we're very excited to know that it has finally come true. A few months after the release of the 2014 version, we unfortunately realized that we released a border-line unlistenable album from start to finish - now, after our many long recording sessions and numerous mixing sessions, we are extremely delighted with how this new version sounds. We hope you enjoy it.

Recorded between February-March 2019 at California University of Pennsylvania.
Written between May-October 2014.
Original version was released on Halloween, 2014.
