As we awaken, you and I,
From the velvety blackness of slumber
Like two oxen yoked together;
As we in tandem lie between messy sheets,
Of rustled pillows and wrestled sleep
I lie and ache of impulses tethered to my
Flesh and blood, bone and dreams.
I rise to the sun and dilate to it’s cheerful
Visage meeting my heavy eyes.
And my home begins to hurt.
The sagging window frame hunches its shoulders above my bed, from which I
Listlessly loom under.
The sagging blinds, adorned with
Paper ghost garlands,
Squints its eyes into the corners of the
Bedroom, resting it’s fine rays upon
Floating wisps of dust and webs.
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. To Be Gentle
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
