In their words

This song is incredibly special to us, and we poured our hearts and souls into every note and lyric. It's a reflection of life's intricate tapestry, where beauty and darkness coexist, and where growth and decay are inextricably linked.

  1. Grows Then Dieslength 5:09Lyrics

    Instigate the Sacrifice All this pain will suffice to strengthen and revive Bless and hail these teary eyes it's more than you'll ever find unfolding in disguise Hard to leave This complicated mind Lost in hurt All this time I have believed And held tight to one dream Like it was known to me I Guess it’s full of Wonders Have Known it for a thousand years or not? I guess I do believe it Instigate the Sacrifice All this pain will suffice to strengthen and revive Bless and hail these teary eyes it's more than you'll ever find unfolding in disguise Your world is here, like flowers are in rain Where it grows then dies froze to rise in spring again Hurt I feel, longing To escape decline the passing time Though I know I can’t
