Stepped through the threshold
I made it beyond the bend
As my feet touch the ground
I feel the worlds extend
As the blinding light fades into colour
I feel my reborn skin
Everything is different now
But there's still a hole within
Is this what I longed for?
Why am I still wanting more?
Why am I not satisfied?
I gave up everything
And I’m still hollow inside
Surrounded by a family
They're strangers to me now
Surrounded by familiar places
But I don't know my way around
Maybe I got it all wrong
The scenery has changed
Everything is better now
But I still feel the fucking same
I think I’m not meant to be happy
No matter how far I go
Time passes but I still stay the same
I loathe the person I became
Another life, another place
What I am was not replaced
Reflection changes everything
And I’d like to think I’ve learnt from my mistakes
But I can’t go back,
For here I’m trapped
I can’t change my fate
Maybe I was the problem all along
How I saw the world
Now I can’t return
Never took a chance to stop and smell the roses
I’m buried beneath
As my body decomposes
I convinced myself nothing was right
I wasted time
A wasted life
With all i've learned
It all stays the same
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can change
And maybe I was the problem
It was me all along
I couldn’t fix how I saw the world
And now there’s nothing I can do
There’s no way that I can return
And I can recognise now that I should’ve taken a moment
A chance to stop and smell the roses
If I’d just taken that moment to reflect
Maybe I wouldn’t be buried beneath them
As my body decomposes
And I convinced myself that nothing was right
That there was no reason for me stay
I wasted time
A wasted life
And with all that I’ve learned
I can say it all stays the same
There’s nothing that I can change
I can’t go back
I can’t replay
And if I could
Would I be happy to be alive?
There’s no way that I could know
Maybe in another life

There is just no way to properly describe the journey that this album provides, with its enormous riffs, varied sound throughout and the raw emotion of it all. A rare perfect album... Agent Echo

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
