Smother 01:40
She can't erase me if i erase myself first. Living without her, or leaving the earth. We'll see who hurts worse We'll find out what hurts worse
2.
No gods No master This life Or here after
3.
I wipe sweat onto my palms and on to my knees. I dig my feet into Philadelphia concrete. Today I will drink myself to sleep, or just enough to help me forget everything. Last week I put a gun into my mouth and I was too weak to escape the earth. I will forget about her even if it kills me.
4.
transcend thirteen thoughts clouds clot with encapsulated numbness in my chest comprehension, a maturing redwood moment by moment by moment creeping further into dead space observing universe accurately solution for this corroded soul encouraged greatly nonexistence is existence crushed under the existential pressure that proves to be innate peering beyond the infinite darkness an arm reaches out a light grip on the index ludicrous latch black vacuum compensation existence commence thorn behind eyes aging gnaws the time devour oneself recognize this visual hallucination a compromise spitting an image similar to myself lost inside an abandoned mine slips into the muscle breach euphoria willows the front lines bright blue pipe inside my voice death feasting upon my luscious life I felt it ferment I felt it in my brain I felt myself die I felt life drain no surprise deceased since birth never content with life only at the conclusion is when everything's alright.
5.
never-ending envy of the unborn notions of non-existence satisfy me In locations I dare not explore suitable solace within fruitless existence leading me to understand a desire to die, was no conflict clean conscious at a calm center speaking internally cements me inability to complete this conversion to thought leaves me broken, at the bottom born to exist bleeding inside of my brain to suppress abandon me awaiting the inevitable solitary confinement increase infinite caress and you arrived in my life plucking at me clawing behind my eyes consummating your personal space clean conscious at a calm center speaking internally cements me inability to complete this conversion to thought leaves me broken, at the bottom born to exist laying, playing with dirt wishing to someday return into the breach compressed crushing darkness comfort me

Take Nothing, Leave Everything is Matt and Alexa

We played our first show with MONOLITHS. in a skate park. Their energy blew me away beyond belief and I think even that night I talked to kehan about doing a split together. I am beyond humbled to be working with such talented musicians.

Steph and girls cartel have been instrumental in the progress of tn/le as a unit.

So honored to be working with these humans.

Thank you to pain; for being the biggest motivator on earth. And thank you to death; for being the only thing that is certain. These three songs are a little heavier than previous work, mainly to reflect the subject matter. Smother is about the thoughts I had before I attempted suicide and Philadelphia, PA is about the moments before and after that day. Common graves is code orange worship.

-Matt

Monoliths. are Christian, Kehan, Matt, and Brian.

"We'd like to thank TN,LE for being there since the beginning and encouraging what we like to do with the tunes we forge. Our love for them is unconditional and we look forward to a bright future between the both of us. A big thank you to Steph from Girls Cartel Records for supporting both bands and helping us make this release happen.

Lyrics were written shortly following a night of witnessing a Swans performance, accidentally dropping acid, and walking home from West Roxbury to Brighton at 1 AM without being killed in the process."
