That face you hold is a subtle blend of confidence and haste
You've made it clear, your faith and reason
The way you act and say you are casting words to waste
Your past holds you here, with your fading reasons
You may say you are, claim you are
A flaw is worth its weight
That one fail
A shard, a splinter
A second wind of hate
A shard, a splinter
Of hope and dismay
Of hope and dismay
Of hope and dismay
Shed from me
Fail, grasp, restore
You've left your skin before
Relive, retract, endure
You should be striving for more

A means to an end
I've always walked this way
No enigma or cause for wonder
It's bitter and cold here living in the mouth of giants
Please, chew me until you're bored
Sweet enough to savour, easy on the jaw
Losing flavour, still easy on the jaw
Spit me out, gleaming but lifeless
Stick me to your chair
Your eyes are wild, you watch your mouth, no mistakes
A little far to figure out, anyway why now?
Seems I'm blind to work it out, your mistake
You're just too far to figure out, why today, why now?
Boil them down and serve them out, your mistakes
Boil them down and serve them out, your mistakes
You're just too far to figure out, anyway, why now?

I often feel the weight of myself
Leave behind a path of shattered ground
Will old age fire the light in our eyes
A million words gone unheard from precious minds
We took our time to contemplate, moments to decide
I wonder how
We all took way too long
Teeth and nails
I guess today i feel the weight

Do you dread the end of things?
Think about the end of things?
The choice, the pressure.
I left my body tonight
Was held 3 foot away from nothing
By a frayed string of reckoning
All I needed was sleep
A lucid state
I left skin and bones
In a blanket in darkness
I was visited in the night
Is somebody there?
It’s easy to take such a turn for the worst when led by delusion
Are you led by your own sentiment?
You don't have to pretend
Make time for sorrow
Do you fear or own your shame?
You don't have to pretend
If the worst is done
Am I here
At the end of it
The end of me
Follow the mirage
Do you fear or own your shame?
Delusionists,
Delusional
Aren’t we?
Follow the mirage
Do you fear or own your shame?

Mes piliers terrassés
Balayés du revers de la main
Un gouffre s’étend sous mes certitudes
Et fait trembler les murs
Les jours passent et ne me ressemblent pas
Passés à compter
Ce qui peut être remplacé
Peut-on vivre sans plier
Sous le poids des regards
Sans avoir à regretter
Le prix du savoir
Il ne reste que du temps et des souvenirs lointains

In a light never seen
Manifested in daydreams
My story is one you may forget tomorrow
I’ll cease to exist alongside failures and sorrow
To leave them behind and settle in
Have a space to survive in
Now move along
That cold room is speckled with mould
It was hard let go
To settle in
Do I re-fire? Relight a flame?
I was one to regret the night
Then wear my shame
Can I cope with the taste
Of passing by the quieter days
Say goodbye
But what have I left? And sacrificed
Now, I reminisce
(And) hope the final light’s the brightest and screens the last abyss
Turn the light out

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!!

Ataraxy
by Sadness / To Be Gentle
Atmospheric black metal band Sadness and experimental screamo band To Be Gentle channel intense emotions on this split single.
