about

Noxapater was written largely in part to a want to showcase the band's ability to play more melodically. The guitar for the song was recorded in a slightly lower tuning than the rest of the album and led to difficulties when tracking the bass parts. The opening guitar part evolved many times until it was finalized to the current state. A solo was written for the song but was later discarded when it was decided the song could stand without it.

lyrics

I'm sitting by sea
Watching the days go by
Waiting for when the night sky drowns

Wading in the water
The pit burns so deeply inside
I'm always afraid of foreign thought

Swimming in the blackened sea
There's no light above or life underneath
It seems endless every time
Far away from here is where I'll never dine
Resting in a broken place
Bloody red cry fleeting everyday
I'm sure that one day my time will come
Scraping away waiting for the sun

Burning both the lights
Fleeting times going by
The stinging cold's so comforting

Hoping for my own
There's nothing left in my bones
The aching breaks my symmetry

Swimming in the blackened sea
There's no light above or life underneath
It seems endless every time
Far away from here is where I'll never dine
Resting in a broken place
Bloody red cry fleeting everyday
I'm sure that one day my time will come
Scraping away waiting for the sun
