Cicada City 05:48
When it comes,  we’ll fall,  and we’ll melt.   And the shadows will mean nothing… burning with everything past and upcoming,  disintegrating time with fire. Is this all we have left? Is this all we have? Is this all that’s left? Is this all we have? When it comes, we’ll see the same light. No need for improvements       or wavering,  with everything past and upcoming,  disintegrating time with fire. Is this all we have left?… Is this all we have? Is this all that’s left?  Is this all we have? When it comes,  I’ll be waiting.  (Ready for it.) With everything past and upcoming disintegrating time with  fire. This is all we have left. This is all we have. This is all that’s left. This is all we have.

Genuflect 05:58
With intervals of hope and waning daylight  destination unknown There’s no deliverance with what we see here In the end we die alone Take me back:  I don’t want to die Take me there Such a gorgeous theory: No beginning or end But I know what’s coming;  it’s inevitable. In timeless aching for the sights I know best Echos linger in silence With floating ashes and sacred particles In the warm winds of providence Take me back: I don’t want to die Take me there Such a gorgeous theory: No beginning or end But I know what’s coming;  it’s inevitable/statistical.
3.
In isolation and stillness,  spirit pass on through. Without words of forever,  ancient fire,  carry on through. It’s approaching… I see the light. Going to die,  so walk with me tonight. I know, it won’t slow down…I know. In hesitation and crashing,  can’t be afraid of the light. Cause we’re the same lesson learned;  walk with me as the atmosphere burns. Stay right here…it’s okay. Save your prayers, cause I’m not afraid. Hold on…Don’t let go…Hold on. I know…it won’t slow down…I know. Hold on…don’t let go…Hold on.
4.
With another lonely echo, I call out your name. I’m not afraid of what comes next . . . .  I’m terrified. Cause the sky is falling. No heaven or hell. I imagine your exact eyes to help me get back home. With a precise connection, I will erase my history censors, and keep up the pace. Cause the sky is falling No heaven or hell. I imagine your exact eyes to help me get back home. Silence. I do believe we can get past the madness  with rebirth wings.
5.
Yes or No 05:20
In cause and effect of collision destinies, going back and forth between yes or no. It’s too late to pretend…No god in sight, with this approaching light. I warned you…It’s coming straight through. I warned you…With all of this . . .  simple and complex. Yes or no? Does it matter? The universe owns everything. (The only truth is here inside.) Approaching light…Heal us tonight. I warned you…I’m coming for you…I warned you. In all of this . . . . simple and complex.
6.
I can see you, but I don’t know where you are. I can hear you, but I don’t know where you are. I can’t see you, but I know where you are. I can’t hear you, but I know where you are.
7.
Impermanent light . . . . .  We’ll shine and fade and turn our fire to silent silence. And this chemical rush? It won’t stay for now or forever. But I want you to stay for now and forever. I’m calculating the exact day 1,000 miles away aching to find you and heal you  and turn to dust with you (and nobody else understands this chemical rush.) it won't stay for now and forever. But i want you to stay for now and forever. The sky is taking its final stand. When will it come? i’ll find you. right. I see you right I’m learning right i’ll find you right i’m coming right . . . . . . i’ll find you right.
8.
In a haunted dream of flashing blue skies/red eyes,  with anxiety stomach aches for every passing soul. I’m screaming at a ghost…Save me! In darkness and light, slowing down for nothing. Let’s evacuate these demons before it’s too late. I’m screaming at a ghost…Save me. I can’t let go…Won’t you save me? I can’t breathe like I did before…Save me…I can’t sing like I did before. In a haunted dream of flashing blue skies/red eyes.  Let’s evacuate tonight, before it’s too late.
9.
Do you understand? We’re swimming through the undertow of our final instincts,  ( and I don’t want to die alone ) I just got to know . . . . can you get me home? . . . . (to burn with you). Sitting at the crossroads here; this time I have no fear. (I want to burn with you). I just got to know…Can you get me home? . . . . . Is this the only road? Either way, I can’t stay here alone. (in the AM, I’ll be home.)
10.
I can’t wait for you now. Hold? Fold? Contact! Contact! Communicate! I can wait for you now. Hold. Fold? Contact! Contact! Communicate! Too late. It’s coming through. It won’t delay for you. i will wait . . . . . for you now. Go! Go! Contact! Contact! Communicate! Too late. it’s coming through  it won’t delay  for you I’ll run  straight through the fire . . . .  I’m coming.  I will wait  . . . . . . (for now.)
11.
Wake up god damn it!   Wake up and understand that this is true. With lit synapses…chaos/surrender penetrating through. Is this it? Let’s live forever!...(I know that we can’t.) This fire!...Is this the last time that we’ll see the sun? Still alive for now…Come on let’s go! Still alive for now…Stay strong…I know.  I can’t detach.   All my senses drained and numbed in fear. I have no choice…I’ll keep on moving…(breathe in/breathe out.) This fire!   Can you see it the way I see it? I’ll say goodbye…I know their isn’t any other side. Still alive for now…Come on let’s go! Still alive for now…Stay strong…I know. I understand…

about

Dearest fan of Where the i Divides,

AD ASTRA will be our final album.

Although we remain alive and capable of creating new music, one of us lives in Chicago, one of us lives in Milwaukee, one of us lives in Madison, and one of us is about to move to Idaho.

One of us always showed up late for practice, one of us teaches in the public schools, and one of us commutes about an hour to work.

One of us went to a Christian college for a brief minute, one of us grew up without religion, and one of us cried after the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

Where the i Divides is a story of four friends who evolved into their most excellent rock n’ roll selves.

At one point, we actually published our second album.

Smell you later,

Where the i Divides

about

Where the i Divides Madison, Wisconsin

Dear Reader,

In the great expanses of our universe, we are all but specs of dust.
Everything we've done, and all we will ever do, is nothing more than a small vibration in the merciless, thunderous momentum of time.
The songs we offer here are nothing more than a few grains of sand on the great beaches of our known universe.

We sincerely thank you for listening.

Love,

Where the i Divides
