Fighting back your tears and lying through your teeth,
I know the pain you feel when you breathe.
I know the weight you carry on your shoulders,
Do you feel your breathing getting harder?
Its like your chest filled with water and your body is on fire,
Even though you’re broken inside, still trying to smile.
You don’t have to lie,
You can be broken around me,
You don’t have to hide,
The brokenness is not what I see.
Strength that keeps pushing forward despite all of the pain,
The strength that faces each new day,
Resilience…
To always find a way.
Your fight is a thing of beauty,
Your light is the brightest I have seen,
You can be broken around me,
The brokenness is not what I see.
Where do you go when you close your eyes?
A hell or paradise?
Any signs of hope or reviving what has died?
Where do you go when you close your eyes?
A hell or paradise?
All it takes is a glimmer of hope,
To finally revive what has died.
Strength that keeps pushing forward despite all of the pain,
The strength that faces each new day,
Resilience…
To always find...resilience...to always find resilience.
Strength finds a way,
Just when you thought you had nothing left,
Strength always finds a way,
Take a moment, take a breath,
Strength finds a way,
Strength finds a way,
Just when you thought you had nothing left,
Strength finds a way,
Take a moment...take a breath,
Strength always finds a way,
You still have so much more to give,
Strength finds away,
Just when you thought you had nothing left.

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
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
