lyrics
Lift this flesh up to serve secret desires.
The sky above and earth below, our home with the ashes
Of past laments, things left unsaid.
A lonesome breeze, the day I left.
Your lips on mine, the bitter taste
Of a yearning heart that’s lost the strength to love.
With regrets weighing down, I sink to the bottom of despair.
All alone, slowly dying, there’s a lack within.
Born of God, forsaken virtue, this divine flesh.
Can you feel all that’s left?
This sprawling distance.
This sprawling distance.
The silence of isolation.
All alone, slowly dying, there’s a lack within my heart.
Born of God, forsaken virtue, this divine flesh is rotting.
Was I thrown into being all broken or did I do this to myself?
In desperation I cry out, please let this life end.
If I had to chose, I would want nothing to do with me.
If I had to chose, I would want nothing do with this.
Lover, can you feel your brittle bones break with the weight of words we once said in silence?
Darling, if all the lonely stars in the sky fell I would still feel your warmth till the end.
My God, if you have made me in your image, then what makes you despise yourself so?
To be honest, I feel like every breath I take would be better off as my last.
And how many more years of this must I bear?
How many more times will I numb myself?
To feel through just another day.
I can’t go on.
Will I die to find
The true meaning of your smile?
Will the heavens open up
And show me the light of redemption?
Or will the never-ending dark
Be my only salvation?
Will I see your face again
Before my final breath?
When will I see your face again?

Well, this really is something special. Very special, indeed. Absolutely epic, even more so thanks to the lack of vocals. It's the music that tells the story. спасибо! rghchallen
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
If you've still got a gas station jacket hanging in your closet, you may love the '90s Olympia punk churn of Soggy Creep. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 10, 2017
The Italian hardcore group’s latest is a powerful, claustrophobic album that rarely lets up its mathy, metallic assault. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 6, 2018
