Alrihkh Melodic, soul-baring prog that touches the heart. Introspective, candid, and honest. Very well done. Progarchives mentions a follow-up album to be released in 2017; it’s now 2021 and I can’t find any trace or further mention of there having actually been another album. Shucks! Careworn’s music seems to have all the ear-markings of guaranteed commercial success. 8+/10. Favorite track: Let it End.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Wow, this is a fantastic post-progressive album! Come up with a good melody - and you've already got half of a great song. Excellent songwriting meets soulful performance. A gem! Favorite track: Let it End.

Andreas Reminds me of early Genesis for some reason. It's more the mood than the melodies, though. In any case, moving album. Favorite track: Never There.

Right Now 05:21
I’m stuck at your hello I don’t care much for the storm That follows on from this I’ll stay outside the danger zone And I won’t get involved this time It’s what I want The price is high and I don’t like The drama after all ‘Cause when it’s just like this It’s easier to dream Though dreams are bittersweet They’re real enough to me I don’t need to feel this I won’t play my role No, I’m staying on my own What if I don’t want to know, anymore than I know right now? What if I don’t want to know anymore at all? What if I don’t want to go on What if I’m done trying to figure you out? What if I don’t want to know anymore at all? And I’m in two minds I find your eyes a source a light That ignite darker times But when I read between the lines It’s hard to breathe And I want make things right But there’s no time to re-write Or define what we could be I’m leaving you behind Where things are just like this Our hearts can go be free Not stuck or in between That cold and deadened dream I don’t need to feel this I won’t play my role No, I’m staying on my own What if I don’t want to know anymore than I know right now? What if I don’t want to know anymore at all? What if I don’t want to go on What if I’m done trying to figure you out? What if I don’t want to know anymore at all? Though I knew what to do from the start I wouldn’t choose To live with or without you But the distance it tore us apart ‘Til we broke in two You know it’s the truth, stop living in a lie

You’re underneath my skin How I wish you’d stuck around then To me ‘Cause I don’t recall your lips Their weight, their taste or anything The sound that they made Tell me would give it all to me now? Oh, like how you went and gave it all to him. I don’t believe the mess I’m in I could’ve gone somewhere I could’ve got something more I don’t need the stress of it When I’m through with loving you I just want to feel something  So, tell me would give it all to me now? Oh like how you went and gave it all to him ‘Cause it’s still raining here, like it’s been for years Teacup storms are brewing, brewing strong Oh it’s a lonely road I chose And I wonder if I’ll ever make it Out of all this wilderness Because it really doesn’t make much sense I know And what makes it so much worse Is I just can’t quite seem to let you go So, tell me would you come and give it all to me now? Oh, like how you went and gave it all to him. ‘Cause it’s still raining here, like it’s been for years Teacup storms are brewing, brewing strong

Never There 04:27
Eyes lost in the photograph again  Fragmented priceless remains Painting the memory we share,  Since you left. I survive but lose in the end,  If you’re never there.  Ties to old times won't let me forget That you didn’t care, You didn’t care. And sometimes I lost my way,  Through the narrow maze of my darker days,  I could show you the ways that I’ve changed  Since you left. And I hated when we played those games,  Another fight just to fend off the blame And it hurts to say I've never been the same  Since you left. I survive, but lose in the end  If you’re never there Ties to old times won’t let me forget That you didn’t care, You didn't care. I survive, but lose in the end  If you’re never there Prioritise my own life instead, ‘Cause you wouldn’t care, You wouldn't care.

So, have you figured it out? I’m better by myself Staring at the wall And older times you know were priceless My doubt is like my skin Ageing made it worse And time flies, I've let it all sink in, you can’t be here It’s not like this path was gold The high has long gone and subsided, disappeared But forever I will know That I was not enough I fold, what will it be? Surrounded by my schemes I’ve written to myself Floating it would seem In a tired empty sea I close my eyes and think of everything we were Or could’ve been And I’m here Moving yet stationary in mind Wonder how we let things go It’s all clear: it was just not the right place in time But forever I will know That I was not enough Oh, and I don’t need your love It’s out of question, I should let these feelings go I just care too much You see right through me Beneath the surface, I’m burning up And time flies I've let it all sink in, you can’t be here ‘Cause you still have more to show And the high has long gone and subsided, disappeared But forever I will know That I was not enough Oh, have you figured it out? I’m better by myself Hidden by the wall

Let it End 06:16
The only calling you had found More snakes then ladders to pull you down The world keeps tearing at the seams Harder to live than stay in your dreams Oh Don’t let it end Let it end Oh Don’t let it in Let it in Pull your head under and see how it goes Your hair changed colour, your blood it froze And the world’s still tearing at the seams Harder to live than stay in your dreams Oh Don’t let it end Let it end Oh Don’t let it in Let it in Oh Don’t let it end Let it end Oh You’re running again And again Crawl through the wreckage Your life torn away Just need more time To be someone someday Wait for tomorrow Or maybe a year Still left to wonder At why you’re still here

Vitality 04:37
Remember when seas of grass Were all you had to hold an afternoon And still the earth lost its grasp Countless miles away from freedom in June Just get through the night Remember who you want to be But try as you might You’re losing your vitality Don’t lose heart It’s ok The things that you thought brought colour De-saturised and revoked of their life The liquid has lost its flavour And all the world can’t wait on its thirst You tell yourself you will be fine But you’re on your knees again Everything you try to get right Might not work out in the end It’s ok Just get through the night Remember who you want to be No end in sight The pain is left to wander free But try as you might You’re losing your vitality Don’t lose heart It’s ok

The Hill 03:56
Find me on the hill alone The absentee The company of my selfish thoughts Was all I used to need Then you came to share The hill one day I gave up my shell But could not say If you felt the same You’ll find me in the rain alone The amputee The victim of a growing hole Is all I’ll ever be I’ll wait beside the tree alone The casualty The company of a broken heart And crowds of fallen leaves In my innocence I gave it all Wilting canopy is left to fall Even though I tried to think this through I would change my mind to be with you If you felt the same Then I told you lies to comfort you In the end I tried To pull us through Then you left to live Your life that day I grew back my shell And could not say If you felt the same

Fall with Me 05:12
Look at yourself Your pockets filled with luck Your shoes weighed down By your future You could try your best But you’re too damn scared to fail Inside out You still ask Will you fall with me Into the rain where I have been All the pain won’t last for long When I know where you have gone Look at your health A graceful way to go Will you drown In your lethargy Becoming yourself Has costed you so much Wrong way up You still shout Will you fall with me Into the rain where I have been All the hate won’t last for long When I know where you have gone Look at your life You’ve doomed yourself to fail A beautiful day To make enemies That cold sense of pride Swallowed by the climb Wrong way home You still cry Will you fall with me Into the rain where I have been All the hate won’t last for long When I know where you have gone
