After it All

Almost everyday
At some point I break.
After all that we've been through.
After all of the pain.
There is very little light left in me,
broken down in redundancy.
I exist only travailles,
my fingers to the bone in toil.
After all the loves I've lost.
After all the loves I'll lose.
After all the time.
After all the time.
After all the time is through.

Fortuna

Oh, Fortuna,
Have you forgotten me?
Haven't I paid in misery?
They sing of your grace
But your just turn your back to me
Bitterness and a troubled mind
Come shine like the moon again
placid and kind
I see you coming
and there's nowhere left to hide
Oh, sister luck,
Daughter of water.
Please let me swim in your grace and favor.
Let me swim in your grace and favor forever.

Persona Non Grata

|
Too far gone-- Have you gone too far?
To come home-- You can't find your way.
Too dim to see-- In the darkest night.
Any light within-- Do you see the flames?
And overcome-- With too many feelings.
It's more hopeless than before,
Can't find comfort no more,
Can't talk about it anymore,
Can't take this guilt, that I, did not earn.
With rumination I descend,
into depression once again,
Contributing nothing anymore,
Can't confront it no more, no more.
It's more hopeless than before,
Can't find comfort no more,
Can't talk about it anymore,
Can't push on no more, no more.
In worse shape--
On the way down--
'wish you were here-

Sequestering Carbon

I've lived to see another Spring,
through isolation and freezing winds.
Stare into the stream,
Listen and it speaks,
-to me.
Roots to eternity,
Branches to the cosmos,
-breath of life.
Don't do me wrong. Don't do me wrong.
Know to listen
to understand the trees
-and streams.
Through them mother speaks
If you hear the planets weep
-for you, for me.
Don't do me wrong. Don't do me wrong.
Forced to reckon with
Mankind's grotesque self hatred.
Against natural order
has its consequence for man.
Don't do me wrong. Don't do me wrong.
Holiest of the beings,
standing sentinel through the ages.

the Introvert
02:01
|
|||
|
Lying here empty as all Hell
You left when I needed you the most.
Now I'm left in the wilderness
to cope (with all of this loss).
You lost me,
Chained to forever
And I remember
And won't tell a soul.
Waiting for my downfall,
I will carry on.

Lifelong Struggle
01:37
|
|||
|
There's no reason not to jump
There no reason not to care (anymore)
If I don't I'll fall (anyhow)
We all fade away
Help my tortured mind
Help me let you go
I've lost the will to live
Throw me in the box and shut the lid.
Just shut the damn lid!
I am useless.

Devoid of the shame - one should feel
If they hid so much to convince you.
Blatant and yet withholding.
Confident and yet so scared,
You bought into all of it.
Loving you is a double edged sword,
But hating you is killing me more.
High crimes and misdemeanors,
The operative brought to light.
Maliciously fraught with contradiction
When karma comes home to roost

Hemlock Branch Cincinnati, Ohio
From Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Istanbul, Turkey this new Cincinnati based band spans different musical backgrounds and influences to make a strange, dark and heavy rock n' roll approach to their music.
Hemlock Branch recommends:
Foundations Of Burden
by Pallbearer
We picked Foundations is because Sorrow & Extinction gets plenty of love. This one is more progressive and takes steps outside the comfort zone of "doom". Plus our boy Billy Anderson recorded it!

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantation
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hemlock Branch”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
