lyrics

i watched it rotating thousands of times
but you wore it so effortlessly
casting shadows while hoping that i shifted pins in your breaking skin
you held the words
on the tip of your tongue
a constant with change, a mind rearranged
"if that's what it takes"

promises are worthless if they're kept in a glass cage

i remember when we first locked eyes
it was dark inside me
but you turned on a light
i remember how my focus changed
you seemed clear in a familiar haze
you were a friend from the very first word
i felt adrift, now that seems absurd
i could hold you in a trance these days
i took the time to learn you from the look on your face

to the way we embrace
i've a know of your touch
i know what you need
when you're emotionally stuck
i know you better than i know myself
it's tiring relying on a ghost for help

as we get older does our history change?
who scores the failure?
who takes the blame?
do secrets stay whispers forever?
i try to speak with a mouth full of leather

(you held the question, luminescent and still, parallels creeping under the cracks in my skin)

i try to speak with a voice unheard
i feel alone in a room full of people
can't forget it with a body of burns
try swimming in a soul so evil
try laying in a hate filled grave
try scratching at skin deep scars
try sleeping in the bed you made
is honesty an untold art?

i've known since the instant you told me
that i would let go
(if that's what it takes)

Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It

Brilliant album, one of my favourite albums of 2018. Stuart Prickett

Mire
by Conjurer

supported by 18 fans who also own “Iridescent”

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. mourner

Rheia

This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз

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!! Darknight
