who are you
sipping pale air
who are you
i have dropped my eyes
who are you
with excommunicator lips
and a tongue sapphire, smooth
let the temple fold in on itself
as if a black hole
until nothing remains, not even the dated photographs
a collection of chrysanthemums kept below floorboards
to one day be dried and arranged in your memory
sequestered for ten years
but I heard your voice one minute too late
my life to the tune of closing doors
scratched a line to separate mine and yours
i never meant to disappoint you
but the fuck if i turn back
with my tail between my legs
walked out in rain
i chose my path
this album unlocked emotions i didnt know i had but needed. the last track sounds like surviving a tropical storm and arriving at peaceful ocean waves. it’s the perfect ending. sabine
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
Seeing Portrayal of Guilt 11/14 front row absolutely destroy a small club in Baltimore on the Christfucker tour brings new meaning to the concept of tortured emotional dissonance. My head is still spinning of how scary talented these three individuals are. Completely awe-inspiring. bcb723
