“I thought you’d be there for me. Take a step back. View yourself from my perspective. Invite yourself in my mind. You have won. I give up. I am finally scared to come home. You’re not my family, as much as you claim to be. You’re not my family. You disarrange my heart. Where were we at the start? Incapable of compassion. Step up, be a man. Don’t you ever try this again. Oh, God, what have you done this time? I just wanted you by my side. I believed in you. You took everything, so get away from me. I believed in you. Listen when I say, ‘take everything and get away from me.’ You are worth nothing to me. Nothing could mean this much to me. You’re worthless.”

Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic. porcelainheart-
A masterful EP, The Oklahoma Kid is resoundingly beautiful and presents a work that is as meaningful as it is introspective. Fortuneteller encapsulates the very essence of the post-hardcore and metalcore genres, but effectively intertwines tech metal and crushing djent riffs into a very solid effort. The Oklahoma Kid is intelligent, passionately-moving, and intensely engaging; music of my golden years. :) Kenny McGalem
