homo sapiens and your carbon-based anatomy the child you're looking for is starved and lost, a memory drop the knife leave your arms behind just for a moment calm the mind the longing never ends not while you're human what if you could hold your mother's heart inside your hands would you seek blood again would you find the karmic thread drop the knife leave your arms behind just for a moment calm the mind the longing never ends not while you're human stop the clock drop the storyline just for a moment stop the clock t he longing never ends not while you're human

i could be eternity a star inside my head touching space an inch beyond my skin my body as an edgeless, open wind the clouds part and the sun comes out and when i feel scared i declare i have everything i need box up my bones i'm free haste to cure the old despair no antidote, still i repair someone said that bird has no wings but i've seen it fly in dreams the clouds part and the sun comes out and if i feel scared i declare i have everything i need box up my bones i'm free with an open heart let go of your name let go of your body let go of your mind let your self die i'm on my way to love someone on my way to love the one and I don't feel scared i declare i have everything i need there's just me being hard on me box up my bones i'm coming home i'm free

led up stairs not made of man form of a pineal gland third eye becomes open and elves beam out seed-shaped sounds elves beam out danger a thought impetus a bodiless myth to disperse i met this dream before where elves beam out seed-shaped sounds elves beam out i touch down to kindly meet earth and unroll my feathers headfirst just breathing's enough when elves speak out know thyself elves beam out elves stream out know thyself elves beam out surrender i'll go up the stairs

Hieroglyph 02:27
he's been blown to all corners of the universe his eyes go back into eternity his mouth an endless black hole everything rushing into freedom no walls no specific personality his whole being an explosion into infinity

about

When CYNIC finally returned after 15 years of absence since the release of their legendary debut “Focus” (1993) with “Traced in Air” (2008) they did so with enormous success. Raving reviews and high sales catapulted the US band onto all major festivals and back to the forefront of progressive Metal music. Now CYNIC embark on a musical journey that will considerably widen their audience with “Carbon-Based Anatomy”. By moving carefully away from the Progressive Death Metal formula, which they helped to establish, the Americans create more open sounds that include 70s-inspired Prog Rock, Shoegaze, Tribal Folk and futuristic alien shapes. This development was heralded by the experimental EP “Re-Traced” (2010), which their huge fan-base eagerly adapted and praised. Primal and direct, haunting and hymnal, this is CYNIC's most immediate and urgent offering to date!

“Cynic should be understood not so much alongside any metal bands but along with the radical harmonic progressives in the last 45 years of pop and jazz: composers like Milton Nascimento, the Beach Boys or Pat Metheny.” – NEW YORK TIMES
