about

"Sisyphus is another more personal track on the record, but one that I think can resonate with pretty much anyone. I think we’ve all been in that place where we feel we’re stuck somewhere we don’t want to be, just passing the days hoping we can break out of it somehow. It was written a long time ago, but it’s become pretty topical with everything that’s going on right now for a lot of people." Eric

"Sisyphus is probably the ‘safest’ straight up the middle song we did on the record but might be my favourite of the bunch. Eric tapped into something lyrically that resonated with me on this track more than others, and a couple of the melodic hooks are total ear worms." Mark

lyrics

Please
Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence

Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing

Wake
Suddenly
Open my
Hollowed eyes

Light through the blinds
It sickens me
Another day with no
Aim of mind

Requisite
Transience
And desperate
Weariness

Reprise, remiss
Resign, unconsciously in anguish
And at night I dream of purpose

Please
Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence

Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing

All part of this process
I’ll do it again
Delusive and ceaseless
I’ll do it again

Reprise (reprise), remiss (remiss)
Resign, unconsciously in anguish
And though still I try
You know nothing changes
And at night I dream of purpose

Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence

Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing

Fight
Until I take control
And liberate my soul
I’m doing all I can
