breathe in deeply
and sink to where
we're together
to the sorrow filthed waters
where our screams all astray
and our eyes are forced to be shut
we force. we fear. we drown on our own
what we soaked in is now what we're made of
ashamed of ourselves much more than of death we fear to live
we're afraid to feel, afraid to change
afraid of sun warmth while all our dream is regret
we're afraid of light because we're afraid of being judged
afraid of a trammel in a cage we lock
The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
