What matters to me
Are open arms in times of need
Will I whisper through your dreams
As you lie asleep?
I don’t expect applause
Or any response at all
When will you see
What’s been clear to me for awhile?
The space between
And it’s deafening
Patient progress
Makeshift promise
I want to echo through your head
Every word I’ve ever said
Tangled up with our plans
Once again
I don’t think that I can shake you
I can’t take you at your word
What is there to do?
For you, something taken
Is something earned
Something worse
is headed your way
But I’m not your sinking ship
Not your warm grave
As it goes
Predictable
Like the tide
The push and pull charade
It never goes away
It just hibernates
As the signals fade
It resonates
I don’t think that I can shake you
I can’t take you at your word
What is there to do?
For you, something taken
Is something earned
Something worse
is headed your way
It’s a histrionic showing
Your devils have you trained
A vow to break the bond
Regret for what we’ve done
The love of loss
And the thought of
What was once
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
