So many days I couldn't sleep Shivering, crushing teeth Grinding pills, counting shades In google deep dream Come and be done with me! Go ahead I’m alive, and I’ve got my aim on you Go ahead I’m alive and I’m watching you I am hunting you! I left you in the dust You’re so low, I’m so high I won't let you win this fight You’re so low, I’m so high Go ahead I’m alive, got my aim on you Go ahead I’m alive and I’m haunting you I am watching you (Come take a bite of me) Don’t pretend you’re alive I’ve been watching you (Come and be done with me) Don’t pretend you’re alive I’m still watching you

What we fear becomes real You never know Open your eyes slowly Follow the lines You never know I’m giving up taking off the ground I feel like beheaded one All alone in the crowd I am the beheaded one Since the moment I couldn’t find Find your face in the crowd I’m breaking off this Since the moment I couldn’t fight

Everfrost 03:49
Say it out loud Tell ‘em about your loss By the frozen shore Let your fever go Say it out loud But another word - A bone inside your throat Leaving you not, Written on the tombstone Say it out loud Can’t you see your love drowns Spinning in the surge Say it out loud He’s not the one you used to know Cheating on you so The one you’ve loved Trapped in ever frost The one you’ve lost You've got to know You have to follow another voice That breaks you though the walls You have to go on You have to vow to another one Who brings you a new crown You’ve got to run if possible

Black Sands 04:56
In oblivion We act so naive Is your life that surreal? Your grief is such a deceit Because you know what I mean And that's so clear (In oblivion) Did you ask yourself How fake is your innocence You forgot all the truth and you are not scared Have you ever asked yourself While burying the evidence In these black sands Have we come too far to defend ourselves? This ideal world Once been revealed I saw in my dreams You were absent here My belief is so weak and bitter I don't have what you need It was already clear. Why have we started the war for gold As soon as the winds got dirty and cold Another word and I swear we're done Burning the bridge so pointless and dull In oblivion Did you ask yourself How fake is your innocence You forgot all the truth and you are not scared Have you ever asked yourself While burying the evidence In these black sands We came too far to defend ourselves

about

“Open Ground” is a concious attempt to reconcile the aggressive environment with fragile & vulnerable spirit of a human nature. Speaking of tags, our new project is kinda misalliance kid of cybergrime fuzz’n’drones with new wave aesthetics.
It’s a perfect reflection of these hard times we’ve been passing through the last couple of years. Either global, local or personal. The fear of war, solitude, disintegration & isolation along with our open hearts to the world. Withstanding the madness we’re surrounded by. Thus it couldn’t be that much listener friendly stuff as before.
We deeply appreciate the help & support for this project from our friends & fans from all around the world.
