This is the first track we wrote on this EP. I'm a huge 108 fan so this track has a few hints and elements of Rob Fish's vocal style/pattern. Barely Breathing is about that hatred that leaves you in an out-of-body coma after an once found love. I've experienced a deep sense of despair and gloom by wondering what is worthwhile for my heart to pursue. By that, suffocation led to an epiphany of realization. Though barely breathing, knowing that no matter how much burden I carry, this will not kill me. This is where the album title "Drowning The Apathy Inside" initially branched from.
lyrics
A frail disguise rusting as you weep
You bury me as you gratify-
Your means of hunger
Your emptiness
Your envy to suffer
Everything you love preys on lunacy
Keep me in vain and kill my dreams
Cut me back
Keep me gray
Stitch my wounds
By your veins
I gave you everything yet war meant nothing
To you, I'm broken and guilty
Everything you love preys on lunacy
Keep me in vain and kill my dreams
I'm not here
Out of body
All is silent
As I twist your fucking neck
I'm barely breathing
You play god fed on broken ties
Burning skies reflect in my eyes

So sad to see this band fade. These lyrics hit home very hard and every instrument melts together in one powerful melancholic, bitter cocktail. When I am cycling in the marshes and the abandoned forest roads, while listening to King Apathy, I feel very connected to the mother that gave birth to us all. Mako's Abs
