lyrics

Fade away
Or curse my name?
Life fan flame
Culled
Coiled in the vein

Do you dare forgive me?

Gone away
Clawed against the frame
No call for help
Imagined state
Concern to take, no

Caught in a shape
And I can’t walk away
It’s been weighing on my mind

Yet still, I hold on to that fantasy
That things are back
How they used to be

I’m still the same
I won’t change
Not for anyone but me
I’ve got lessons to learn
You’ve got witches to burn
I’m not one wicked word
Waiting on a weathered curse

And when you look for me
I’ll be gone

You don’t choose who you’re born to
Or who you birth into the world
Just remember
We’re all in this together
Remember
It’s not getting better
Re-bend the argument
Set up to fail
Inconsequential sins

Straw men playing with fire again

Curse my name

I’m still the same
I won’t change
Not for anyone but me
I’ve got lessons to learn
You’ve got witches to burn
I’m not one wicked word
A living line
A tired verse

One wicked word
One weathered curse
Am I the one you wish I was?
Old habits die hard
Come to light in the dark
If I gave you my word
Would you dare forgive me?
Or would you curse my name?

Reveal your real face

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
