Words have gotten stale in my brain
The thoughts remain the same
I don’t need convincing anymore
And none of your concerns
I feel all right
But I’m empty inside
If you claim to be my friend
Why won’t you try to get into my head?
Please try to tweak things up a little bit
Kick start my heart back on the road
I seem alright
But I’m empty inside
Because inside is a withered tree
Waiting for the spring
And sometimes I feel an odd change
But the ebb tide takes it all away
Beneath the surface of the ocean
There are treasures undiscovered
Keep digging and searching
For that pearl you left behind
In your search for purpose
In a time of wonder
I’ve been trying to find
Some meaning in this life
But I can’t see through it all
These objects that I see
Are they for real?
Or is it all just in my mind
Am I just in my mind?

A brilliant album from start to finish, with excellent vocals and musicianship. Definitely a 5 stars Progressive Rock album, by a great band. Pierre Kacary

These guys know how to do prog-rock with a sound wholly their own, coherent and refreshing all through the album.
They can go from a laid back rhythm with solid vocal arrangements and slowly turn it upside down with distorted bass lines and up-tempo beating.
Usama Siddiq's vocal qualities stand on their own merit, strong and determined. No other vocal timbre could feel so appropriate for such lyrics & melodies.
One of my favourite musical discoveries in quite some time. Naphicus
With its gradually-unspooling grooves and danceable beats, the debut effort from Swedish psych band Hollow Ship entices with every listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2020
