    LYRICS
    Sickle Sickle, set me aside
    Burn the bridge, no mercy tonight as they run
    To retrograde love
    And I know the spectre is calling
    Mountains are falling below into replication
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won’t survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    These silhouettes will drive me crazy
    Brittle sparrow, pale by design
    Delicate they corner my mind
    Feel them run, I’m feeling them run
    Precious is the retrograde in power
    With no emotion
    It brings devotion and starts to fade
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won’t survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    (I could be one o
    f them)
    These silhouettes will make me contemplate
    (I grip to relevance)
    Will I fit or will I fade away?
    (I could be one of them)
    Burning bridges as devotions fade
    (I grip to relevance)
    Irrelevance is eminent
    I could be one of them

    "Halcyon"
    Sickle, sickle, set me aside
    Burn the bridge, no mercy tonight as they run
    To retrograde love
    And I know the spectre is calling
    Mountains are falling below into replication
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won't survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    These silhouettes will drive me crazy
    Brittle sparrow, pale by design
    Delicate, they corner my mind
    Feel them run, I'm feeling them run
    Precious is the retrograde in power
    With no emotion
    It brings devotion and starts to fade
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won't survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    (I could be one of them) These silhouettes will make me contemplate
    (I grip to relevance) Will I fit or will I fade away?
    (I could be one of them) Burning bridges as devotions fade
    (I grip to relevance) Irrelevance is imminent

    I stumbled across them on youtube, and a few minutes later searched for the vinyl record, that I preorered back in May.

To name a few of my favourite tracks of theirs that don't have any or many screams - It's Only Smiles, Lune, Garden In The Bones, Erised, Have A Blast, Froggin Bullfish, Remain Indoors, 22 Faces, Prayer Position. Like Ryan said, the more you listen to it, the more you'll like it ;) Just a matter of finding the accessible songs.

    The breakdown in the last 30 seconds of this track makes me feel like Malcolm MacDowell or w/e tf his name is in that walking scene in clockwork orange, except then circle with me comes on while you're throwing down, hefty stuff

    This is second halcyon song I’ve found and loved haha. There’s a track called halcyon on The Acacia Strain’s “3750” album that’s just beautiful, an instrumental.
