Negative Space

This space between
You and me feels infinite
And this void is endless
These words feel so hollow
A shell, no substance
No safe haven
I’m exhausted of fighting
This current is unrelenting
Yet my limbs refuse to sink
I feel
This expanse growing larger
I will
Pretend I’ve grown stronger
I hope
This cold fades away
'Til then
I live in this negative space
My only foothold is fractured
And I’m burdened by complacency
So from here, I stay distant
I found comfort in silence
I thought I was determined
Prepared to move on
But without warning
In sorrow, I drift alone
I’m alone again
This is what I wanted
Or that’s what I claimed
I thought I'd find it funny
How life just keeps moving
Though I was left behind
And my feet refused to run
Behind walls paper-thin
Just bury me in my sins
These memories will be forever with me
I’m exhausted of fighting
This current is unrelenting
Yet my limbs refuse to sink
I feel
This expanse growing larger
I will pretend that I’ve been growing stronger
I hope
This cold fades away
'Til then I live in this negative space
I felt
Myself take a step forward
This prolongs all the time my casket lowers
A first gust
Of air grazed my face
I hope this feeling is never erased
Will you be there when the storm breaks?
I’ll fall back into your arms

Ruin

A loosened grip on my sanity
I’m bound to snap at any moment
Was once unmovable, now wavering
Surviving off this false sense of pride
How can I hope for growth
When all I know is self-loathing
I'm just wandering, lost
In a plane of ignorance
I’m unbelievably weak
Yet all I do is dream
Every day I feel the dark
reach out and grab me
I am to blame for my own destruction
Yet I complain as if I’ve earned the right
It’s getting harder to open my eyes
And I can’t stand my own reflection
It shows what I refuse to acknowledge
But remains the constant truth
I can only restart so many times
Before I lose all sense of myself
So I just lay here
Still battered and bleeding
Overcome by my own greed
I refused to make a compromise
But this still leaves me
Dejected and brooding
This will lead to ruin
Has life lost its meaning?
All I feel are these dark circles spreading under my eyes
This will lead to ruin
Has life lost its meaning?
I guess it’s just because I’m already desensitized
I can only hold so much of this shit before I fucking break
Someday I’ll learn to cope
This is just the man I am
Fueled by incompetence
This is the product of my destructive character
To live in waste and unending arrogance
I know this is the end of both you and me?
I can put on an act and throw on a brave face
But just how far will that truly take me?
At the end of it all, my most egregious lie was me shouting that I’m truly trying

Resentment

I can’t begin to imagine
What my future has in store
Drifting in the abyss
Why can’t I do more?
Is there hope for an ending?
Am I cursed to suffer more?
Will I fade into antiquity?
I’ve never felt so alive
Burn it down, this resentment builds inside
I’ve never felt so alive
Burn it down, this resentment builds inside
Our blood echoes through the streets
Can’t leave the terror behind me
Can one find peace in tragedy?
The pain never washed away
And staying conscious is a strain
My only peace is in my dreams
Gouge away my flesh
What’s not torn from the rest
'Til I’m a husk left standing
Fitting that I can’t see
The fruits of our labor
I’ll let my bones be the catalyst
And hope my world might be mended
Are my lungs overflowing?
Does this dwell in my head?
Begging to be released
Or maybe just end up dead
(X2)
I’ve never felt so alive
Burn it down, this resentment builds inside
This fog consumes all in sight
These wounds remain uncauterized
I’d gladly let my faith die
To find the end I always fantasized
I’d gladly let faith die
At bliss with our ignorance
We’re blind but claiming to see
Are these rays of light
Truly within reach?
At bliss with our ignorance
We’re blind but claiming to see
These rays of light
Remain within reach
Yet we remain blind in the deep
Yet we remain blind in the deep
We claw at our eyes to see

Too good to be true. This record flawlessly captures the spirit of my favourite era in Metalcore, while still sounding fresh. It doesn't even feel like a revival of an era or a certain sound, it's almost like this EP is a part of it and always has been. Timeless!
