Cire - Edge of Consciousness

Edge of Consciousness by Cire, from the album, Wholesale Buyout (Genome Records, 2006). www.myspace.com/thecire

There's life after death, you just won't be there at all.
You wouldn't want to be anyway, while it decays... Be glad you won't.

Awareness rests upon the beating of your heart, the firing of nerves,
and the actions of a universe of tiny little branches for every single thought
required for the concept of what you think you are.

I've reached the edge of consciousness and stared across in the abyss...
With pupils wide, my lungs expand... a million years inside my hand.

This is all that we are, so why is it so hard to accept?
No one is watching over us, no one will save what we neglect.

Awareness rests upon the beating of your heart, the firing of nerves,
and the actions of a universe of tiny little branches for every single thought
required for the concept of what you think you are.

Chastised or burned at the stake, we silence the few who awake.

This is all that we are, so why is it so hard to accept?
No one is watching over us, no one will save what we neglect.
This is all that we are, so why is it so hard to accept?
No one is watching over us, no one will save what we've wrecked.

It's a shame that they are no longer recording. You should check out Amplifier they are a British Rock band. Awesome songs and great lyrics, the way Rock should be!

[mrockman]

@fr2ncm9 Amplifier is great. I've been listening to them for a while. As far as British rock goes, it's hard to beat Oceansize. Their first three albums (and the Music for Nurses EP) are nearly perfect in my opinion.

sounds like tool, but not an attempt to copycat, more of a strong influence

[benderibsk1]

Fucken like it.

[CannabisCaelestia]

@TheWhatYouNeed

wtf? lol xD

[fillXnXdXblank]

@twent4 exactly! thank you, i was thinking the same thing.

[johnwrogers]

fo sho sounds like a tool and a perfect circle comboish

[TheWhatYouNeed]

Oh.. And the last 1:25 is one of the coolest jam outs I've ever heard. These guys are good. Heard them like 2 months ago and they jumped up way fast on my list.. Up there with Tool.

Check out the band Portal.. They have the likes of Tool/APC. Blood Red Tape is just awesome.

[TheWhatYouNeed]

If Tool and the Toadies had a baby boy, and meanwhile A Perfect circle and Chevelle had a baby girl.. And those two babies meet and had a baby.. This is what they birthed.

@fr2ncm9 could've sworn i saw Eric mention that he was going to work on new material. It would really be a shame to lose such talent without his projects getting the exposure they deserve.
