Transcend the advent of apocalypse
And ride from the dawn
As the sun sets on all we have known
Alter synaptic pathways
Search for the sky
Fall down and see with psilocybin eyes
Purge inhibition
Identify the strain
Embrace
Cerebral change
Alter synaptic pathways
Sink to the ground
Rise up and gaze into the profound
Beneath the veil of mycology
Waves
Suspense of the rip tide
Terror
Of drowning inside the flash flood
You see what you are
You see what you've been
You know what you've done
And it's not over yet
We see what we are
We know what we've done
We know what's in store
And change might just kill us all
Alter synaptic pathways
Drown
Alter synaptic pathways
Drown
Alter synaptic pathways
Drown
Alter synaptic pathways
Rise up and see with psilocybin eyes
Drown
Drown
Drown
Drown
And see with psilocybin
Drown
Drown
Drown
Drown
On your existence
Descend the hill
To the unknown
Until the end
Your hand in mine
Composed of the dust of stars
That forms ourselves
That shapes our souls
That breathes the atoms to life
Until the end
Your hand in mine
Composed of the dust of stars
Unto the end
Our hands entwined
Fall to the earth
Drown
Drown
Drown
Drown
Drown
As we gazed out across the sands
The promise of a mirage beckoned us
Knowing there would be no salvation
But just a memory of hope
We marched on
We staggered forward
We crawled further
As far as our eyes could see
As far as our eyes could see
As far as our eyes could see

The absolutely positive impact that this album has had on my life can't be described with words. Whenever I listen to it, it teaches me something new. My favorite track is "Scaling Mount Improbable." Dundar The Barbarian
This album is simultaneously elegant and humble. The track "A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time" takes me on a journey. Dundar The Barbarian
Excellent, atmospheric, instrumental prog/post-metal to lose yourself into. The combinations of stuttering guitar shreddage with the soaring walls of sound over the top are beautiful. Dundar The Barbarian
The Ocean adds electronic depths to their cinematic post-metal sound on their latest, closing out their paleontology-inspired album cycle. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
