"No cotton wool whatsoever.
As soon as she starts, your face is up against the wall."

Gordon Taylor, Infectious Unease Radio

"The music is very alternative, but even an
old mainstreamer like me found pieces to enjoy...
my stand out was easily Talie Helene’s own offering,
titled The Black Queen. Hypnotic.
I'm looking forward to the EP's release." 

Brenton Tomlinson, HorrorScope

Song Lyrics – Riftchamber

Riftchamber

It must have been a light thing
Although my heart is heavy
It must have been a cheap fling
Don’t say I’m not as strong as I seem
I needed all your fire
To keep me from the cold
All my heart’s desire
Is drifting in the smoke

It must have been a light thing
For all it was breathtaking
And though my hands are shaking
It’s not my heart that’s breaking
I have my denial too
As I try to walk away from you
It’s not my heart that’s breaking
It’s not my heart that’s breaking

For you’re just a shell
All filled with smoke
It’s just as well
The denial broke
The love I cherish
That’s all a lie
It’s the love I’ll cherish
To the day I die
But it must have been a light thing

I guess you’re just a trickster
You drew me in with lies
I believed we had a future
It was there in your green eyes

The lies they raise such questions
I am haunted every night
For you don’t respect me enough to face me
And try to make it right

You’re smashed with fools so empty
And so devoid of talent
They have to purchase and party hard
Just to fake their passion

You get so blind you can barely drive
It’s dumb luck you make it through alive
My photographs buried under the bed
We once shared in our home

You said you loved me more than any drug
And this anxiety I’d never have to carry
Your promises – you roll – you light – you toke – you break
Your promises – you score – divide – and deal – you break
Your promises – baby, that’s my heart you’re breaking…

…But it must have been a light thing
Although my heart is heavy
It must have been a cheap fling
You say I’m not as strong as I seem
I still need your fire
To keep me from the cold
All my heart’s desire
Is drifting in the smoke

It must have been a light thing
For all it was breathtaking
And though my hands are shaking
It’s not my heart that’s breaking
I have my denial too
To think I can walk away from you
It’s not my heart that’s breaking
It’s not my heart that’s breaking

For you’re just a shell
All filled with smoke
It’s just as well
The denial broke
The love I cherish
That’s all a lie
It’s the love I’ll cherish
To the day I die

This rift – my heart
I’m breaking
This rift – my love
I’m losing you
This rift – my heart
I’m breaking
This rift – my love
I’m losing you
I’m not choosing to
Be a light thing
