Stone Cold 05:42
Her smiling face / I'm cold Warms the hearts of others / I'm stone cold When her cheeks blossom / This face is a mask to hide my sorrows She is endless morning She's hope to a tearing eye / I'm crying, I'm sad She's laughter / I'm crying This shy child / I'm hiding Sits quiet in a clamorous room / I'm hiding away from this world Politely distant, content in her reverie / Please leave me to be in my own dream She' glowing / I'm tired Not a care in this world / I'm scared of what will become Her home oblivious to this flowers wilter / This pain inside me is growing Ignorance is bliss / I'm dying As she sits there weeping / This world's bled me for all that I am Where's the laughing child / Watch this tainted blood run down my skin Her smile's becoming a faded memory She's quiet / I'm lost

Purgatory 05:29
There is a place at the edge of the earth It is a living graveyard for those who are lost forgotten souls This baron land is host only to this mist of whispers, endlessly seeking purpose for their extended existence Damned to this calamity they believe to be a confused dream Their minds each day tortured with distant life memories They'll grate their skin to see if they bleed, Their lust to be living Each day brings sunshine, a darkness to them The sun doesn't warm these cold bodies anymore

We stand here alone, no light shining on us No faith and no courage, no strength left to hold on We're standing on cracked ground and we all fall through it Support feels like glass, we see right through it I was running away where noone could find me In my path was a trap that led me straight to your lair You poisoned me with your pure water Smothered by your pure water Depleted of breath Momentary lapse of clarity My beliefs distorted, your prose had deceived me Your cult is a plague with which I'm immune I've dug out your thorns, I've bled your disease Always running away, yet something still finds me Subtle glimpses of Dawn defrost my wintery skin Blood is thicker than pure water The spectre that enchants me is of my kin Pure water

Come little one Take my hand Fear nothing Let the darkness breathe across your face Don't inhale its pain Watch the fire Don't let the flame burn your flesh Don't listen to the mistakes bellowed out into screams Hide cradled beneath the battered wings of an angel with a wounded soul Come little one Take my hand

about

'Before My Eyes' is the first installment of a collection of pieces composed by solo, multi-instrumentalist, Samantha Kempster. This debut EP is both delicate, yet dynamic; it has bleak empty moments, complimented by immersing swelling orchestral highlights, laced together by despondent piano and female vocals. The themes of despair, loss, and deceit, are the tales of times past; times caught as musical fragments, otherwise left to fade from memory.
