Captives are back and with more crushing heaviness than ever. Afterimage, Captives’ second release, features powerfully atmospheric guitar work, intoxicating melodic harmonies, brooding drum beats, and crushingly emotional vocals from dual-vocalists Jeffery Mudgett and Trevor Bookout.
These five new tracks showcase the growth and evolution Captives has accomplished as a promising band on the rise and further builds the theme established on their 2012 EP, My Eyes Are Open. An afterimage is a visual image retained after looking at something vivid, an image you can still see after you’ve turned away or closed your eyes. Even after minutes the illusion will remain if the image was distinct enough. Afterimage represents still seeing and feeling those things that are no longer with us, when only an impression remains.

lyrics
She is cold my friend we must understand that this was going to happen again
The birds will sing, not so inspiring and I lack the wisdom
Of how to love
I wish I knew how to feel
I know it's hard to read the stories on my hands
If only you, could understand
I am not the man I was, no longer a hungry soul
Can't you see I am my own worst enemy
My story, will unfold
I'll just keep drowning
Burying these things within
Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned
Sometimes I think of you
It tears me up but I always knew
You'd leave the things you need
To please the ones you put in front of me
I wish I could come home again, I'm branded a fool
I wish I could be whole again, I've left too much behind
A disembodied soul, trying to have me for it's own
Put me to rest for my best is not the best
God I'm not sure, if I can pass this test
I'll just keep drowning
Burying these things within
Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned
Sometimes I think of you
It tears me up but I always knew
You'd leave the things you need
To please the ones you put in front of me
You're just trying to please,
and I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy
You lost yourself along the way, wondering these streets for a place to stay
(I know that you're all alone, though I said I'd be forever yours)
You're just trying to please,
and I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy
Turning away from this, pretending we're not the ones you miss
You'll just keep waiting,
Always yearning for her hand
The virgin lamb
When she's with
Another man
I don't even want to pretend
That we don't want to go back again
With every minute mistake that you crave
You can come back to me when you see my grave
