lyrics
Absence ensues
I get cut up
Pull the pit out
Just sit down.
Embers rise through
Smearing grays, charring rooms
Can’t pin it down.
I get pissed off
At the gist of
The things I’ll never see.
Everything, slips away
Everyday, endlessly
Ohhhhh, there’s that noise!
That anxiety!
Where ya been?
In the tall grass,
Sits a grin.
Fall!
Fall to your knees.
Fall!
Fall to your knees.
Not to pray/prey, but to crawl.
I wonder if ya’ve been
where the cheetahs bleed
in the sediments
nuzzled next to me.
Nothing fascinates me anymore
Nothing fascinates me anymore
Nuzzled down, next to me
(be the prey) (breath)
In the dawns, in the dusk
(panting thieves) (breath)
In the stars, in the dust
(panting thieves) (breath)
In the scars, in the brush
(panting thieves) (breath)
I wonder if you’ll ever see…

One of my favorite songs of all time. I used to listen to live bootlegs of it back when there was no official studio recording, because the band had broken up. This version is literally a dream come true. Ryan Johanson

a perfect showcase for extreme technical mastery, but unlike almost every other band at this level, the complexity and skill is not the point at all, everything is so focused on expression, emotion, energy... Converge is untouchable Giles
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
