Amends 03:10
We'll make our amends If only in our thoughts Momentary love and fever dreams Spinning in this coil endlessly Sewn to deathbeds of self-righteous beliefs clinging on to the threads so desperately Sewn to deathbeds of self-righteous beliefs spiralling always downwards into darker territory into nothing Aching for a moment to breath for a moment to see to change to one day be able to make amends for my mistakes

Thoughtless 03:03
You said you had to choose between the ones you loved So you could find time - to survive I guess it takes 20 years to find ones pride And another 50 years to die I guess it takes 20 years to make it right You look for cover, while I’m bathing in the night Your body tends to die Your body tends to die Your body tends to die You look for cover, but your body sure will die Acceptance is where the sickness arise You are trapped between walls painted with tears from our eyes Acceptance is where the sickness arise The saddest thing about a life is watching it die Like all the others you dream about dying in your sleep So you won’t feel it when your body turns to meat I’d rather feel it when I die Cause then I knew I had Something to live for

Relentless 01:46
Repress all that you love everything is disappointing Take all that you want Everything is stolen and torn asunder We are rats manifesting as humans gnawing our way through life gnawing our way through the ones we love and the ones we leave behind Hurting everyone in our pursuit of happiness And self-preservation I'm tired of hurting you
4.
Endless 03:22
I cannot help but feel endlessly lost in the space between happiness and misery My arms unendingly stretching towards you but never reach In this state of limbo There is no hope There are no gods There is no love Endlessly lost Somewhere along the way I lost the signal Still my arms stretch high like antennas to heaven But God is hate and love is the devil There is no release Everything repeats itself
5.
Less 05:02
Decomposing in self-doubt and -pity eyes constantly bathed in artificial lights stuck in a place that I don’t want to call home trembling fingers searching for a touch of something better than plastic and glass but I have placed my faith in these useless artifacts and shrines every night the last to leave the table - always with the losing hand I feel less a man Less a human Less alive I feel less Every day I feel a little less than the day before my hands always set to destroy everything I build For agony and uncertainty I am a bearer of guilt trembling like fire I burn everything to the ground I burn everything to the ground but I can’t feel the heat I'm afraid I'm losing everyone close to me I'm afraid I'm losing everyone that I love I'm afraid I'm losing everything I hold dear I'm afraid I’m beaten down, broken and lost I'm afraid that love is not enough to carry on
6.
Failure 03:16
Momentary love and fever dreams voluntary fucks and sweaty sheets Hallucinating thrills Nothing will heal Its getting warmer, and warmer, and warmer, and warmer Till minds are empty shields I tried to swallow the threats that surely are mine But love is thin air and hard to breathe And nothing is clear, nothing is real Please make it, please make it, please make it, please make it worth Please tell them I took the jump but fell to the dirt And filled my guts with words To make it hurt It tightens, it tightens, it tightens, it tightens, it tightens Make it bleed Tear it all apart and find what I need. Cause my skin is only paper-thin It cannot hold these worried fires within Everyone are fucking strangers We knew it all, we took it all, we lost it Betrayers, betrayers and murderers who knew it all, took it all and lost it Always looking for someone, who could be anyone and anything special Always looking, always looking, always Always looking for someone just like everyone - selfish and restless Always looking, always looking, always looking Always looking for failure
7.
Homeless 04:02
Cannot find the difference between a friend and your hurting skull You are longing for help, but you abandon all Your tears are nothing compared to the river this world is nothing compared to us The best part about dying is the process The best part about living is the break The best part about fire is the smoke in which we hide and run away This world is nothing compared to us Open fire, open lungs Heavy bricks and narrow bones Broken figures, diluted blood Life is precious when it rots This world is nothing compared to us
8.
Celebration of the living in the land of the dead Where every gift is a symbol of how we strive for endless rest We’re worthless Never meant to be alone, but the face of man has grown Like a galanthus we seek to be higher than the trees All the things we never saw, when we were crawling on the floor All the honored will be dancing in the streets and try to grab what can’t be reached
9.
We’re worthless and nothing is ahead Just trying to grab what is left Dance! Or lay down to rest Love is thinner than death We’re worthless and nothing is ahead Just trying to grab what is left Dance! Or lay down to rest Soon we’ll be dead

about

Debut album by Danish screamo-act, Demersal. Self-released on 12" vinyl with inlay. 300 copies made.

On ‘Less‘ Demersal explore feelings of greif and meaninglessness, communicated through sections of chaotic, expressive hardcore and melancholic post-rock, joined with vocals that seem concurrently powerful and fragile. The album deals with the sense of disbelief in human compassion to the point where relationships, values and human interactions seem pointless.
