about

The EP's second track, “No Greater”, describes the inner torment of living a lie with no way to escape. The lyrics are awe-striking and raw, containing sentiments such as, “My inner shadow parasite, it laughs while eating me alive.” "No Greater" breathes life and imagery into the suffering of a tortured soul. This song was written during one of the lowest points of (lead singer) Nanjo's life, when the feeling of despair consumed her life and left her begging for some sense of relief. Nanjo’s vocals soar over Bonaccorso’s ethereal string tone, evoking an anguish that ends with a tumultuous piano solo and powerful finale.

lyrics

There’s no greater torture than deception
There’s no greater sin than religion
I’m burning in a hell of my own design
Living a lie feels a lot like dying

I’ve crossed a line ten thousand times
I’m addicted to this torture and it’s killing me
Down on my knees, crying in pain
I’ve got to, got to, got to end it all

I’m vulnerable, contemptible
It festers unrelentlessly, it won’t resolve so easily
The fantasy turns tragedy
My inner shadow parasite, it laughs while eating me alive
