I used to feel so guilty,
For how I felt,
Or how I viewed the world around me,
I didn’t know how to control my emotions,
Or that for years I was battling depression.
Let me take this time,
To apologize to no one.
I apologize for nothing,
All the tragic things about me,
Just pages to my story,
Failure and overcoming.
How was I supposed to know
All the things that I was feeling,
Were totally normal but so much help was needed,
To calm the hell in my head,
I carried so much regret,
From all the things that I said.
I am not my illness,
I am not my past mistakes.
I am sick and I’ve made many mistakes,
Apologized and I’m in a better place,
Let me take this time to apologize to no one.
I am not my illness or my past mistakes,
I am not my illness, I am not my past mistakes.
To no one...I apologize for nothing,
All the tragic things about me,
Just pages to my story,
Failure, after failure, and after failure...I am overcoming.
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
