MENTAL RADIO distant vision MENTAL RADIO folded space MENTAL RADIO psychic echoes MENTAL RADIO locked in phase MENTAL RADIO turn on MENTAL RADIO psychic echoes MENTAL RADIO turn on MENTAL RADIO psychic echoes

i write down my nightmares stalk my dreams undress my future decode my enemies i give hope my money but waste my time i give ghosts attention when they need denial EVIL VOICES LIE WHEN THEY SAY YOUR'E ALONE with no coast to side with no cliffs to hang i can't find a prophet no unseen hand i stare through these eyelids deep mirror orange i rewind the eye inside the mind to fill the void EVIL VOICES LIE WHEN THEY SAY YOUR'E ALONE

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
