Face Turn
01:02
|

|
An arms length
To push away
Saved face, cold comfort
And slow decay
Shadows grow longer
Through the day
A face turns
To look away
Paths to walk
Paths to stray
Lights to fade
Hearts to change
A moment of silence
It all falls apart again
Before you know it
You're all on your own again

Panes of glass so imperfect
The image is distorted
What was once important
Fades into the distance
Faint familiarity
Absently it follows me
We’ve been here before
In brief moments of clarity
The pieces left in all of us
Fragments of the past
Memories now incomplete
And never meant to last
At least this long
But they stay
And still remain
Unchanged

Night of Cups
00:35
|
|||
|
It smashes to pieces every time
You pick them up
But keep cutting your fingers
Once broken it’s so easy to break again
It won’t ever take the same shape again
Carelessness and collected remnants
Fragile and familiar fragments
Thrown to the ground
|

Great Expectations
00:44
|
|||
|
Edges worn over time
I’m tracing their erased lines
Peering into empty eyes
Of faces I don’t recognise
Sailing for the oceans edge
Making maps of empty skies
Drawn towards the black horizon
The wind has already died
I carved a wooden sword
To pierce the heavens
I carved a wooden sword
To fall on
|

Palimpsest
00:35
|
|||
|
Swimming in a sea of linens
I cave
Grass against the skin
Feelings to get lost in
But slipping away
And fading to black
Nothing takes me back
|
||||
6. |

I searched the darkness
But our eyes wouldn’t meet
We drank deep from emptiness
And both ceased to be
What was left in there
When everything else disappeared
The waning glow of the streetlamp
Reminds me of that light disappearing
But here we are breathing
The warmth of our breath
Fills the empty space between
There’s a quiet I can hear
As I wonder
How long we’ve spent here
Was the air always this cold?
Were the nights always this long?

This one really goes deep. Tremendously heavy and bleak, yet crushingly groovy as well. You can easily see these guys destroying any venue they'd hit live with this. The heavy hitting slow to mid-tempo tunes are sort of tranceinducing. It's very easy to listen to it multiple times in a row or even get lost in it totally.

I let this languish in my backlog for too long. OHHMS is fantastic and "Close" is both intense and beautiful.

When I Die, Will I Get Better?

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful.

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!!
