about

One of my top 5 metal bands of all time! This track is off their self titled release from 2013. This track sticks out because it is not Byz's usual direction. This has more of a Devin Townsend meets Alice in Chains feel to it. Still heavy when it needs to be. Oj, Tony, Skip and Matt have been great inspiration to me and the rest of my last band as well as great down to Earth guys. I love every evolution of this band. PLEASE go to their site!! They were recently signed to Metal Blade records with their new lineup and it's going to be sick!

lyrics

Crawl inside my skin for just one day
Watch the fear of the coward led astray
I’m defined by the gluttony to feel alive

Collapse from the perch on which you reside
Overcome by the need to burn you alive

Inside to reveal the lie that's always here
My infatuation is what you abhor
No matter what is at stake the blame is all the same
Crying eyes and the fear that the demons have held their sway
~Rohrbough~
Come crawl in my sin for just this day
Beaten down by the guilt and the slow decay
God grant me strength to keep up the lie

Inside to reveal the lie that's always near
My infatuation is what you abhor
No matter what is at stake the blame is all the same
Crying eyes and the fear that the demons have held their sway
~Ojeda~
I’ll never get this chance again
Infected olive branch to mend
Apologies are for the weak, the spineless
And I’ve done wrecked you

about

Mark W Sumpter Richmond, Virginia

I have played music in some form nearly all my life. Influences range from Classical to Jazz Fusion to Thrash Metal to Punk. I love music! I have been involved in 3 "serious" bands and am posting mostly those. I am also in the process of converting some old experimental tapes into .wav and hope to have them up soon too. In the meantime enjoy The Difference, Separation and Harry Gore & The Measles! ... more
