No longer my solemn, just a shadow
Of what this town has made me
Trying to find peace where nothing is real
Always longing always searching for me
I left this world on repetitive terms
This can’t continue as I won’t exist
This desperate journey should not be me
No longer asking, trying to stop giving
To everything I no longer am
This is a calling to the mind to break peace
With this life I whole heatedly hate
Fear this town
… And then it rained.
Pressing, reinventing
Holding back all I am by binging life in stagnant coil
Stripping away all own character
Shimmering visions once so loyal
Leamington with no reconcile
Leamington provoke the vile
Staring above this town with hazy eyes
Trying to remember when I died
Leamington with no reconcile
Leamington provoke the vile
(Fowler)

For those of use whose attention span isn't what it was for ambient and who need something more narrative than noise, there is the sub-genre of atmospheric black metal that I'm inclined to call "monolithic". Paysage d'Hiver might be the archetypal example. But if you just want to be consumed by a relentless wall of beautiful air pressure, this is ideal. Luke
