There's symmetry in the way you
Cut me straight in two
Each side reflects the image of a
Crowd in an empty room
You're a match that can't be lit
Spark a flame, burn infinite
You broke me like a mirror
Seven years keep adding up
Walk barefoot through the glass
Not a single cut
Direction, I'm walking on fences
It left me defenseless
You broke me like a mirror
Seven years keep adding up
Walk barefoot through the glass
Not a single cut
Balance, I'm losing it
And the ground beneath does not exist
You're a match that can't be lit
Spark a flame, burn infinite
Balance, I'm losing it
And the ground beneath does not exist
You're a match that can't be lit
Spark a flame, burn infinite

You dance like the June sky
You magical pink rain
And I burn orange
Watching you resplend
Like the words "I love you"
Pink like you
Pink burning in me
You dance like the June sky
You magical pink rain
And I burn orange
Watching you resplend
Like the words "I love you"
Pink like you

In between, insidious vapor shall teem
Looming so loathsome
And it seems to me like I'm dead inside
Bloated corpse, propped out of tradition
I can never recall what it was I had ever to strive for as a youth
Was it just to exist, autonomously?
No, we don't want to work
We just want to fuck,
Swallow pills and forget our curses
No, we don't need pigs like you
We'll follow the laws of our emptying veins
In this world of nothing for me
I'd be sooner destroyed
Vampire youth, raise your cups to the ne'er waning moon,
Let its visage ring true
To the hearts cold and blue
We're dying each moment, free
We're all animals here
Flesh and blood, bone and dream
We're just impulses here
Another piece of shit in the storm
Just another piece of shit
From the smelling of things it appears this shit has come to a boil
The night-time we shall rule as our own
While the hollow shall sleep
We shall bark at the moon
In this world of nothing for me
I'd be sooner destroyed
In this world there is nothing for us but the sound (but the sound)
Vampire youth, raise your cups to the ne'er waning moon,
Let its visage ring true
To the hearts cold and blue
We're dying each moment
We'll never sleep again
We'll be going fucking mad
Sin and hell is all we will ever know
Just another piece of shit

The Weight of Everything

We hope to perform with this band one day. Some of the best to do it! There is something so special and unique that we find in their sound; it is perfectly satisfactory.

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!!

Artificial Bouquet
by Frail Body
New on Deathwish, explosive screamo from this Illinois band, full of scalding riffs and searing vocals.
