At my purest self
I trampled through the garden and saw you in my mind’s eye.
The ever closing door, a fluttering of wings and what it means to me.
Am I a slave to my former self? Or will i find power in all my flaws?
I love you and I don’t know what to do with myself, I’m but nerve endings and chemicals imbalanced.
The weight of the footsteps put my teeth to the limestone.
And will you sing that hymn for me? It goes “this is your family now!”
I went to see the forgery
I wept at its’ ability to collapse all my sense on themselves.
Don’t you love the way the colors bleed? And the echoes ring of blasphemy
On the marble halls of ancient history?
I wish that you’d abandon me
To my matriarchal fantasy free of all the things i’ve learned and the
Exhaustion that you earned.
Forgiveness is a snarling beast when you’re stripped of your identity but i’ll love you as a ghost.
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
A post-hardcore megalith from the UK: churning guitars, spacey arrangements, and explosive vocals both screamed and sung. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2019
