A force of habit but you choose to ignore it
All of these vices build the timeline to my life
Every pattern
Turned addiction
Built into endless circles
You’re so jaded
I’m so cynical
Frustrated
Nothing changes
Cynically insane
People are talking
I’m hearing things I shouldn’t hear
Out of your mouth
Just like a knife in the head
I wanna disconnect
Like a serpent with your tail in your mouth
A taste for blood but pain intolerant
Forever endless, you call it timeless
Your definition
Doesn’t make a difference
Cynically insane
People are talking
I’m hearing things I shouldn’t hear
Out of your mouth
Now you’ve gone away
People are wondering why
I couldn’t stand when you were near
I’m best without you here
As if you think it made any different
You’re so god damn jaded
And I’m so cynical
No more fucking patience
Nothing ever changes
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
Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan
This is wonderful. Great how you combine this music, integrated her voice. What an outstanding cooperation. Keep it up! I'll sure be looking ;) MyDogLikesRock
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
