My Epic - Old Magic

Copied!

Perfect tense, picturesque
Likeness of a still life
And it looks right if you squint a bit
Phosphenetic fantasy
Secret rite, parlor trick
Nostalgia turned sacrament
Then practiced to paralysis
"why don't I feel anything?"

Vows I kept under the skin
Promises broken and took on the chin
Lines I've drawn into the sand
Hoping I could find old magic again

Watersheds, on the rise
I don't think we'll ever find it
Flowing in the same place twice
Matching with an even tide
Shallow breaths, foreign sky
Trapped among the satellites
Gasp from coma, vital signs
"how long was I out this time?"

Vows I carved into the skin
Promises stripped of all sentiment
Lines I pushed over the edge
Swearing I could find old magic again
Red shifting, new worlds overhead
Parallax till the light rests within
Nothing is ever again
But there's something like old magic ahead

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.
