why couldn’t you be more like them
and less like this and more like him
feign confidence,
feign happiness
feign life
I found such confidence
while I was fast asleep
but the confidence left
with all the self-esteem
I was baptized by the night
kept my distance from the light
all my thoughts were fighting
a battle not worth the fight
I got to see this but I can’t look
I got to feel this but I can’t touch
can you set this right
and can you guide me through
I drew a line but I did not know
which side to choose so I chose none
but a life on a blades edge
makes it hard to set things straight
and your linear way of life
those compulsive ways to find
a way in when there's only one out
but you'll live as long as there are doubts
I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
