Hollowed out, empty
We've watched months erase the memories of years
It's not tradition, not meaningless ideals
It's a fire that draws us near
So come close let your eyes meet mine
Try hard to deny this burning inside
Grab hold to status quo to justify
Keep telling yourself there is nothing more to life
But there's so much more than killing
Than preying on insecurity
Than getting what you want no matter who is at cost
Wake up, realize your virtue is dead
Your life, conviction for vanity
But we'll take this stage never forgetting the days
When heart meant everything
This time is soon to end and all your clothes and cliques will go with it
When the dust clears we'll see that love still stands
The love that has no shame, no fronts no fruitless games
The love that lays life down for a friend
Your time is up
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
