I can’t see the shore,
But I can feel you through the storm,
Symphony of crashing waves,
I watch my world fade away.
It was just one more step,
I followed you this far,
And I can’t see a thing,
But I know where you are.
Walking on water,
They were walking on water,
Too scared to take that first step,
Now I just walk with regret.
I’ve been witness to miracles,
Seen things that can’t be explained,
I have worked so hard,
For the things in my life,
I can’t just throw them away?
Now I would give it up,
For just one more chance,
I would give it up,
For one more chance.
I want to walk on water,
And feel the waves beneath my feet,
Too scared to take that first step,
Now I walk with regret,
I want to walk on water,
Now I just walk with regret.
It was just one more step,
I followed you this far,
I can see everything,
I know where you are.
Walking on water,
They were walking on water,
Too scared to take that first step,
Now I just walk with regret,
Thought I had all I wanted,
Now I just walk with regret.
Romance of Affliction somehow makes an old genre feel brand new. Amazing. I would have swore this album was from 2005 if I didn't see with my own eyes it wasn't. SYSC takes everything good about mid-00s metalcore and brings it into the modern day, leaving behind the trash. It's a pure distillation of the genre with brilliant structure, pacing, and lyrics. The album ebbs and flows, letting emotions swell before punching in with some of the most intense passages I've heard in a while. rettisawesome
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
