Kyle South (vocals, guitar) lost his father Memorial Day 2023 and that has been the inspiration for this album. These songs are about impermanence, loss, grief, anxiety, love and how to overcome these shared human experiences.

Lyrics:
We’re only here in the flesh and bone
for so long before we’re gone
Don’t be scared just prepare
ten out of ten transition there
Where do we go? What do we become?
Nobody knows when we are done
Where do we go? What do we become?
Nobody knows when we are done
Nobody knows when we are done

Oh I can feel your pain
Here we are, here we are
No nothing stays the same
Here we are, here we are
Though life will still remain
Here we are, here we are
Now we're right back at the start
Here we are, here we are

The flowers bloom then the hours loom
before long the petals are gone
Have no fear as you linger there
signs appear then become one
Where do we go? What do we become?
Nobody knows when we are done
Where do we go? What do we become?
Nobody knows when we are done
Nobody knows when we are done
