Slipping gently into darkness Comfort in your sleep There’s a puppet and a monster Fighting over me I’m a gentleman imposter And I can’t feel my feet Maze of masochists and prophets Altered chemistry These are troubled times indeed These are troubled times indeed Oh I, oh I I know Grasping tightly to the nonsense Shallow ecstasy Then the puppet and the monster Fall into the sea The light is never getting closer And I can’t hear or see Drifting into open waters Drowning in the deep These are troubled times indeed These are troubled times indeed Free the mind, escape the dream Cos these are troubled times indeed Oh I, oh I I know Breaking out, walk the finest lines Crawling out, there’s a crack in the back of my mind The fevers come and gone In the end, there’s a dark disguise Feel it bend as it stares at the cold of my eyes The fevers come and gone The fevers come and gone The fevers come and gone Gone Come and gone Come and gone The fevers come and gone These are troubled time The fevers come and gone These are troubled times The fevers come and gone These are troubled times The fevers come and gone These are troubled times indeed Free the mind, escape the dream Cos these are troubled times indeed

Too Far Gone 04:08
Goosebumps upon your skin Raised flesh shows where I have been And I’m finding now I don’t need to justify My son through half-opened eyes Still these devils they try to hide I’d never let that happen to you If I could see you now I’d be lifted again I’ve been so alone I called out to you from the door But you’re too far gone Now I’m lost My heart lodged high in my throat Truest thing that I ever wrote Now the thought and emotion are finally reconciled Run through half-broken lines Nine stitches still stuck in time I’ve never lost anything like you If I could see you now I’d be lifted again I’ve been so alone I called out to you from the door But you’re too far gone Now I’m lost If I’d have made the choice Way back when it was new Who would I be? This time that I’ve spent isn’t mine But it’s all I’ve got Now I’m lost in the lines of your face Taste the human side of grace Failed words return again Please don't ask me to explain All this time leads me here Built up all this anger and fear Released now to find something free I made it now just let me be If I could see you now I’d be lifted again I’ve been so alone I called out to you from the door But you’re too far gone Now I’m lost If I’d have made the choice Way back when it was new Who would I be? This time that I’ve spent isn’t mine But it’s all I’ve got Now I’m lost Lost Now I’m lost Lost Now I’m lost

Clear Trip 04:54
It was a cool clear night at home It was late and no one was out So, I left the house and walked I wandered the streets in the silent air It’s like you know I’m running far from home It’s like I’ve always felt You’re just a little too far Then the darkness turned to light Walls of colour and lines of bright And a fog came down on my mind I couldn’t see you anymore It’s like you know I’m running far from home It’s like I’ve always felt You’re just a little too far You said give me your life Give me everything But I need this space This space in my mind It’s all I have I can’t take it higher I can’t make it higher This space in my mind It’s like you know I’m running far from home It’s like I’ve always felt You’re just a little too far It’s a clear trip this time Over the last line I want more now it’s out It’s out, it’s all out It’s coming out now And I won’t cut back now I see so clear in the darkest night It’s like a drug it’s in me now It’s all out It’s coming out now

Cut the Cord 04:18
Failing of words Then all Is meaningless dust Retrieved I’ll walk through the darkness See through the timeless To meet at the place between Heaven and hell Or just An infinite void? Eternal A paradox to me Lock box with no key It’s no fucking use at all There’s no time like this delusion To fear everything at once And reach the same old conclusion That everyone has to die Everyone here I’ve found Is stagnant and cold, Forlorn A same state of rebirth Searching for self-worth Then slowly it starts to burn So how can we live Like this? Don’t make friends with time Or Death Find peace in the moment Ignoring omens Just do something with what’s left There’s no time like this delusion To fear everything at once And reach the same old conclusion That everyone has to die Strip back, the fake clear this illusion Dear God, can we cut the cord? How’s this, the next evolution? It’s time now to make it right Make it right Failing of words Then all Is meaningless dust Retrieved I’ll walk through the darkness See through the timeless We'll meet at the place between There’s no time like this delusion To fear everything at once And reach the same old conclusion That everyone has to die Strip back, the fake clear this illusion Dear God, can we cut the cord? How’s this, the next evolution? It’s time now to make it right Make it right Make it right

I remember your house Every nook in every room And the games we used to play We carried our guns to liberate every last one A childhood in the sun I remember the way It and us changed with the days But it always felt the same And is it wrong of me to think Like this when it's all still there But it doesn't feel the same Ooh, my stomach's turned Ooh, this selfish way Ooh, I'm scared I'll lose Ooh, every last day It's a feeling I could help if I was older Cardiac arrest, only colder And I know you're resting somewhere else But I wish it was someone else So I could let my selfishness rest easy And it's raining black, a perfect kind of day And I can see it all again, only faded There's a coffin in a room full of my friends And people I couldn't care less about It's the day I dreaded finally come true Ooh, my stomach's turned Ooh, this selfish way Ooh, I'm scared I'll lose Ooh, every last day I remember your house Every nook in every room And the games we used to play We carried our guns to liberate every last one A childhood in the sun

about

'Conduit' is the debut EP from Perth-based progressive/alternative rock band Black Stone Brewers. Recorded throughout 2022 with producer Matthew Templeman, the EP is an amalgamation of 3 years of writing, finessing, and crafting a style of music unique to the band, and expressed through the collection of songs that has become ‘Conduit’.

‘Conduit’ explores themes of faith, grief, loss, and addiction through a broken lens of optimism and hope; each song a vessel, an idea, a catalyst. Thunderous off-time rhythms push and pull against moments of ethereal space, playing off the high-energy guitars and infectious dual vocals that have become the band’s signature.
