Shades of blonde frolic in the
Summer sun of a finer yesteryear
Teeming and restless
Lingering memories soaked
In blackberries
Elements all conducive to unassailable heartbreak
Your passion sinks its teeth into my
Weary spirit
Derelict, and pining

All of my friends live inside my head
All of my friends, they live inside my head
Do I know what's really real?
When the lights turn off and everyone has gone home,
I am still here

Immolating

|
You shine like gleaming wisps of love
Stretching star limbs, embracing me
And I glow within your encircling light
My essence immolating like the words
“I love you and it wasn’t your fault”
Heavenly bodies of forgiveness
Golden sounds healing me
Like love, everlasting and bright

Your Guts Are Like Mine
00:46
|

|
Your eyes are like mine
Gleaming and empty
Like linoleum floors
In a hurting apartment
Your hands are like mine
Calloused and aching
From tying and untying knots
Your guts are like mine
Twisted and drooling red

Love Letter
03:39
|

|
In between, us vapors shall teem
And rub our fingers against foggy windowpanes
Where we will draw love letters
In each other’s breath
My love is the bed of grass
Resting beneath our soles
My love is the painted wings of a monarch
Gleaming in the dust
In between, us vapors shall teem
And rub our fingers against foggy windowpanes
Where we will draw love letters
In each other’s breath

Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right.

Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising.
