I realized what death was as a little kid
sitting in that pew, crying to my mom.
Begging her.
To never die.
Having the courage of a coward, of a fucking kid.
Waking up to a phone call,
your brother just witnessed a murder.
And all you can think of is the noise
that will keep you awake tonight.
I was told not to be afraid of life or death, but all I can think of is how soon it ends.
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 22, 2019
