1.	A loose end in time 10:14	lyrics
“Time is that in which all things pass away; it is merely the form under which the will to live — the thing-in-itself and therefore imperishable — has revealed to it that its efforts are in vain; it is that agent by which at every moment all things in our hands become as nothing, and lose any real value they possess.” Time will bury our hopes Our dreams collapse Our hearts degrade With pain and other pleasures

I’ll ease you mind I’ll hide your thoughts All the voices will fade Feel my lie don’t be afraid I will collect All your desires Lock them in a silver cell I’m just trying to make you well Memories here could never harm you I’ve built this maze for you There are no whispers in the dark You are safe here with me Stay asleep You are the one who harms the memories You’ve built this maze for you You are the whispers in the dark You’re not safe I’m not here You’re not here - How am I supposed to feel? How am I supposed to live?

Your Own Story

I have music from a number of post-rock artists in my collection, but I find myself coming back to this masterpiece time and again. This might be the best post-rock album of all time, superior to even its predecessor. The title is spot on - listening from beginning to end whisked me away on the most vivid journey of the mind I've experienced since Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygène 7-13" a quarter-century ago. fair2mindlin
