close the door, repeat the numbers like before tell me more and I won‘t listen construct the sight, reject the eyes and sleep again we have to leave we have to run so we can breathe again control the blame solve the riddle, grab your guns and pray sustain the shame and speak no more get your cards, retrieve the question hide your scars and keep the lesson so tell me more, just like before tell me more and I won‘t listen this is a red day and you will remember me and we will take this horizon down and we will burn all the seas the last memorial shall fall but you will remember me this is a red day and you will remember me twist a coin, I‘m never home

this is not an act of courage if the world could see, it would deny it so could you put this fire out take your names and be quiet you soke my lights into your chest you push the river it‘s best you‘re the last at the king‘s throne so the statue has to fall let the last wave just take you all have you ever seen us fall so far? see the sluts drown in their shards bleeding dry in their glory and I could pull a thousand cards and you could talk to me in broken mornings slow in silk the pictures flow the time ran out so you should go the sun bleeds, the day‘s awake and I will leave, for god‘s sake and I won‘t come back I will slow my steps down, I will stop and watch now how the tide will take you in, and the hours start to spin show - how far can you swim? how long can you keep your breath in? now... slow down, we all have to burn keep your eyes sharp and the distance clean I know what you have seen you can‘t save anything, don‘t talk to me about rejection lift your eyes to broken hopes to illusions and fictive quotes (no) your water is a fake you burts and then you break (no) shut up, I am in control, I am sick of your commands we all have to burn you‘re not different, you‘re not better than me you talk in circles and fall back beyond the sea the diamond promise, the silent longing the beauty you know - unseen you obey the wrong and I will slow my steps down, I will stop and watch now how the tide will take you in and the hours start to spin show - how far can you swim? how long can you keep your breath in? I have nothing set for the tide I have nothing left for your pride I will slow my steps down, I will stop and watch now

oh, could you please sleep as long as you can the lights outside are dangerous and your eyes... oh could you just breathe, please breathe on forever ‘cause I don‘t want to see you die and your eyes... oh, the day is coming oh, the day‘s awake don‘t look at the rain outside it tries to confuse us the sparrows follow the sun the sparrows follow the sun! wake from the depths of your fear And I will not leave you alone I will not leave you and your eyes... tell me, can you see that we have no guilt in us we came here to stay, so let us go away we fall right into the waves this shall be our great escape (we give away) we came here to stay, so let us go away go away, give away

spin the circle through the sun now the hollow streets fall back to none scream and settle breathe and follow our eyes are burnt by the sun push your eyes aside pull your head back in and cry... noone‘s waiting, there is noone at the shore it‘s all plaid, it‘s all plaid we have nothing left to see turn down the lights the reflection blinds me your clothes are dry now so please leave my room it‘s all said, it‘s all said we have nothing more to say it‘s all said, it‘s all said we have nothing more to say lay down your hands we are in control lay down your hands and we‘ll take it all we sing a forgotten song about the last kid, that could have won and so we sing a forgotten song about the last kid, that could have won so sing for me again

I know we can‘t breathe anymore so take your name and go compare me to the blind ones show me how you cry and teach me so I am ready, I‘ve brought my blame now let us leave the world in shame let us burn our names let us burn control me ‘cause we can‘t breathe no more control me ‘cause we have no names anymore control the sky I can‘t waste my eyes anmore embrace the tide let me drown on this shore again I can‘t waste my time anymore so ask the sun to wake the shore let the horizon go down in flames so there shall we leave our names there is no control for us there are no more skies to breathe and we will burn the sun in trust so please, let us leave control me ‘cause we can‘t breathe no more control me ‘cause we have no names anymore control the sky I can‘t waste my eyes anmore embrace the tide let me drown on this shore again spin my eyes, so I can see you spin my eyes, so I can see inside spill my eyes, so I can breathe you spill my eyes and bleed me dry

could you bring up a reason for us to stay away from this rain put your smile and your needs on so we can find a place to remain slow the world down give us some time to look around let the tide rise stand upon the sea and try not to drown the blame is here, it said our names but we can‘t go until we embrace the waves so let us run let us see the sun now calm your hands watch the tide rise the flags are hanging high slow down your heart look at the skies there are the words that I deny we killed the elephant in the room we killed the elephant

sleep around me slowly drowning the world divides your eyes the world divides your eyes the world divides your eyes keep them close to your lies through my eyes I can see no more drug the demons spin them through me let them dance and burn inside keep your concience spell the numbers and quietly push me aside in the fire - let down and let go in the fire - slow down and swallow you love to think, that you will never die you wrap yourself into this wish through my eyes I can see no more let my lungs bleed watch the time now secretly evolving through spin the circle through the sun now the streets I‘ve known are up to you in the fire - let down and let go in the fire - slow down and swallow you love to think, that you will never die you wrap yourself into this wish If we could hide our eyes we could walk through if we could cut our lives then we could lie, too I want no concentration shut up, I‘m in control I want no concentration shut up, I‘m in control I want no concentration shut up, I‘ve lost control I want no concentration shut up, I‘ve lost control you love to think, that you will never die you wrap yourself into this wish

about

Thematisch behandelt The Hunger & The Ghost jegliche Formen der Konsum- und Besitzgeilheit der neuen Moderne: Verlust, Gier, Macht, Liebe und soziale Differenzen, basierend auf der Legende der Gaki - Hungergeister, die der japanischen Mythologie nach für Ihr extrem gieriges und materialistisches Leben nach dem Tod mit einem ewigen Hunger bestraft werden, der nur durch die Einnahme von Exkrementen und Leichen für kurze Zeit gestillt werden kann.

Esprin stehen mit The Hunger & The Ghost im Alternative/metal Bereich fern vom Whatevercore und gerade angesagten Trends und konzentrieren sich primär auf die atmosphärische und authentische Wirkung der Songs und deren Inhalten. Es geht hier um vollen musikalischen Ausdruck und Experimentierfreude.

The Hunger & The Ghost wurde komplett im eigenen ALLCAPSRAGE Studio aufgenommen und produziert.
Das Album ist nur als digital release hier auf Bandcamp erhältlich.
