My Epic - Shadows

Copied!

I've heard rumors there is more
If we venture to the source
It will phantom every meager thing
To which our hearts are sworn

And they say: "shelter's in the fold" and "there's risk in chasing after truth"
But those souls are cynic-sick
They think that we have much to lose

This is all just sound and fury
Product and sum of faulty yearning
The harlot life I hold closely
A senseless refrain of lust and longing

And I have only ever known
The shadows and reflections
The temporal and contingent

If this isn't love
It's the closest thing that I have ever known
Am I to let go?
Even if it's false, at least it feels like hope

Could love be more than feeling
And second hand romance
I salvage from hearts as dark and damaged?

Could it be someone who gave up everything to show that I am fallen but worth the scars it took to prove that this is love?

This is all I'll ever need
This is love
Oh, this is love

Biography

edit bio

My Epic is a post-hardcore rock band hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, that was formed in 2005. The band's unique sound spans from acoustic guitar picking with post-rock undertones, as heard in their EP "Broken Voice", to the crashing, urgent, atmospheric sounds found on their full-length albums "Yet" and "Behold".

At the core of My Epic is lyricist and frontman Aaron Stone, whose deeply personal lyrics often explore themes of struggles with faith, self-discovery, and relationships with God and others. As a self-proclaimed "band of Christians", My Epic has a clear mission in their music-making, aiming to create what Stone refers to as "Thin Spaces" - environments where listeners can connect with God in a pure and uncluttered manner.

Through their music, My Epic seeks to provide a platform for introspection and spiritual connection, allowing their listeners to delve deep into their own beliefs and emotions. With their thought-provoking lyrics and diverse musical styles, My Epic continues to captivate audiences and inspire meaningful conversations about faith, identity, and the human experience.
