lyrics
I believe we had a falling out today.
Ideally I’d rather rot than stay awake.
You know I really wanna slap a sticker that says “Shit upon my mouth” because I’m sorry.
But I’m trying to convince myself that I don’t really wanna stay in bed and I don’t really wanna step outside.
I have a fever with its fingers around my neck.
And by the looks I’ll never get my hands to extend their grasp to save my life.
Can’t say I never tried.
Can’t say I’m sorry but I’m trying to convince myself that I never had a worthy say and I don’t really wanna step outside.
I, a bigger saint than you, have been known to sort through lies, mingle with pride, and extort the truth.
You, a better climber than me, have been known to rip the cord, topple the Earth, and admit defeat.
I, a bigger saint than you, have been known to sort through lies, mingle with pride, and extort the truth.
You, a better climber than me, have been known to rip the cord, topple the Earth, and admit defeat.
Our hearts part with ourselves as we walk away from this place.
Place that we built with our minds, like an agoraphobic dream.
‘Cause it’s all just a dream in this place we all call reality.
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
From the first deadened cowbell to the last dissonant guitar interval, Dutch quartet Geo's new record is shaped for impact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 25, 2024
