Luke Warmwater These guys are ridiculously talented and even more ridiculously underrated. Seriously do yourself a favor and give this and So Shall We a listen if you're into math rock in any capacity. Even if your not, even if you hate math rock, you should listen anyways. Favorite track: Save Up.

HuddyJ Despite being "heavier" than their previous release (which is an *all time* album for me), this album still has the key elements that make EAB so damn good. Good quality musicianship combined with excellent vibes, songwriting and most of all a CONSISTENT MOOD. Please, Patrick, never stop pushing your voice to the limit, going high occasionally, and doing those runs, it's what keeps me coming back time and again. Get this damn album and blast the fkn thing. Favorite track: Delicate.

Star 01:47
- 01 - Star - however lasting I once thought love was pulling shadows from my reflections I once held, I once felt I was one with you
2.
- 02 - Tomorrow Love Today - It takes all, you've got I'm sure, you're not Going to make this any easier for me Write our names along the lines of the tapestry Broken down So pick me up Waiting for the bus all fucked up And we're so afraid to change Don't change Please take this the wrong way Tomorrow love today I'm thinking everyone's a fake Looking out and past the gate And when the time comes, we'll be pushing on Along the way Lost mine, took yours This time, I simply can't ignore The way I feel when you're around Am I the one who wears the crown Broken down So pick me up Waiting for the bus all fucked up And we're so afraid to change Don't change Please take this the wrong way Tomorrow love today I'm thinking everyone's a fake But who even cares anyway

Glow 04:46
- 03 - Glow - There's something I can't say right So I tremble, in the back-light Wearing the fear Wishing you'd stay But I can't complain Just not today And I just lost my temper so (Take me away take me away) And I just lost my temper (Take me away take me away) Watch what you take your time aside Life's a mistake we all aim to hide Locking eyes, a smile that tries To fake it's way to A kiss goodbye A tired lie And I just lost my temper so (Take me away take me away) And I just lost my temper (Take me away take me away) I'm gonna drown in my debts Treading through the distress Until there's nothing left But emptiness That's how I've always been Show me a new day Glow like forever makes

Save Up 04:02
- 04 - Save Up - I was doing alright til my nervous breakdown I was doing alright with money And you know, I'm not the one to hold a grudge But times get rough, times get rough And I must say And I must say I disagree Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, take me out of the shallow end Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, put me into the deep, trust into me, I'll find my way sooner or later I was doing alright til you pulled me back under I was doing alright I swear But you know, just the right thing to say And now I'm drowning in everything anyway And I must say And I must say I disagree Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, take me out of the shallow end Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, put me into the deep, trust into me, I'll find my way sooner or later I don't have enough I don't have enough saved for you I don't have enough I don't have enough saved for you Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, take me out of the shallow end Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, put me into the deep, trust into me Save me a single dollar so I can save up Buy me a white collar Save me, put me into the deep, trust into me I'll find my way sooner or later

Cauterize 04:17
- 05 - Cauterize - I woke to the sight of some Inscription in my inner arm contradicting years I remember pieces of the puzzle fitting into place At least I like to see it, I like to see it that way We're just not the same (I can feel pressure climbing out from underneath me) We're just not the same (I can feel my heart collapse inside my chest) I can't keep the image I just can't be kept I was empty long before the bottle was Keep your cigarettes and daydreams Cause we're all sad and lonely So I'll be one and only Pour some whiskey in my coffee when you leave I can't keep the image I just can't be kept I was empty long before the bottle was I can't keep the image I just can't be kept I was empty long before the bottle was
6.
Delicate 04:36
- 06 - delicate - Where's your sense of self Did we lose it all when we were somewhere else This is hard enough Tangling spirits line me rough You wore my edges down When you were still around No I don't need this But fuck I have a weakness You know it's never easy You know it's never easy You know it's never easy I'll say that you can stay the night You know it's never easy But I can't pretend that it's alright And when I finally set sail You'll want nothing from me But all the things you said I still hear you in my head I still smell you in my bed And now we're all but memories Sinking out at sea I'm sure you'll find it suits us all Loneliness for when you fall Where you running off to now If we could change I'd show you how To build a bridge between your heart And mind Our bittersweet divorce will find us Short of breath for what we left behind You know it's never easy You know it's never easy You know it's never easy I'll say that you can stay the night You know it's never easy But I can't pretend that it's alright And when I finally set sail You'll want nothing from me But all the things I said You'll still hear them in your head And you'll still smell me in your bed And we'll be all but memories Sinking out at sea This is getting heavy I can't carry all the envy Like you do But I don't want to slip my Feet into your shoes
7.
Tricky 02:57
- 07 - Tricky - So tired of waiting around All the things we resent Buried somewhere underground Now we're so complacent I won't keep still My heart half empty and I'm all alone I'm all alone here You should have known I would have made it clear Free fall From all you've grown to hate It's not your fault But it's far too late It's gold under city lights Can't wait up for August nights Down the street from my nest Last year's endless stress Uneasy until we're both undressed Broken like you wanted me to be And I'm all alone I'm all alone here You should have known I would have made it clear Free fall From all you've grown to hate It's not your fault But it's far too late So leave me alone I'm all alone here No place to go You don't already know Leave me alone I'm all alone here I've been for so long But you wouldn't know You wouldn't know dear
8.
Night 04:21
- 08 - Night - Night rolls in and you'd love to see him Blankets you're lying underneath them tired of the light beating on your secrets cause you know that the world will see them Yeah you know that the world will see them Night rolls in playing with your feelings Shadows they're sweeping up the ceiling At night theirs a lot to believe in But you're wondering if the world can see him like you Oh can the world see him like you (You drove me all night) I'm still afraid of you (You drove me all night) Always afraid of you (Give me a sign) Give me a sign of forever more I'm so tired I can barley sleep Just give me your hand and take the night with me oh Daylight breaks all the same you feel it Can you even bare to conceal it If he's all the light you need than Calm the night that keeps you breathing please I'll be the star you never see Wrapped in your memories seizing But dreams are all so pleasing The sky is bright believe me I'm unsure of what we will be (You drove me all night) I'm still afraid of you (You drove me all night) Always afraid of you (Give me a sign) Give me a sign of forever more I'm so tired I can barley sleep Just give me your hand and take the night with me oh I'm so tired I can barely sleep just Give me your hand take the night with me oh In light of all your secrets Here tonight is where you see them Every dream another sequence Every night a place to keep them
9.
- 09 - Look Up at the Ocean - These are broken wings The ones you stripped away With every passing day My heart just fades Accents of blue underlining me and you We'll never really learn to fly But still attempt to take the sky I've lost I've wept I never meant to Harm you like I did but still I'm kept awake So take the weight away But please don't make me hate Our lives are short you should know I'm a real poor sport when it starts to snow Accents of blue underlining me and you We'll never really learn to fly But still attempt to take the sky I've lost I've wept I never meant to Harm you like I did but still I'm kept awake No one knows me like I do No one sees me the way I want them to I wish you knew me like I do But you don't

Burn 05:15
- 10 - Burn - However lasting you once thought love was Push away the light you claimed so dear You once held, you once felt You we're one with me

about

Self-titled Full Length Album from EricArthurBlair

We are born in the rain
To the life in the moss
With damp souls
And slippery hides
To taste the world
Momentarily

Under a veil of stars
A blanket of dirty atmosphere
Covers us all mother-like
While we sit for peaceful time
Feeling the turbulence
Of the continental plates
And the tickle of ant feet over
Our lichen faces

Soft wind through our eyes
Comforting whispers
Of the shore in our bones
Born gratefully to decompose
Adrift through the great ocean
Above our heads
