I. ERASE ME

We were born in broken homes to broken people (Feeling out your way)
Carry in name and pass it along (Wash hands, the cracks are overgrown)
Forever surrounded, but forever alone (Left out your shape just never formed)
Pushed out, pushed in line, pushed to the ground
We were comforted by the thought of not existing, of not feeling at all, of being erased.
If being never’s forever, then we should turn out the lights.
Erase Me!
We sit, we wait, we feed the snake
We spit, we kneel, we start to fade
I never wanted to see the sun rise
I never asked for the rising tide
I never meant to be anything at all
Erase Me!

Smoke stack seas drift effortlessly into the lungs of every man and beast.
Strike a match on the corpses of trees, won’t you please make it stop?
Plastic parasites trap life in its teeth, waters are poisoned by corporate greed,
and here we are, waiting for complacency.
I sit with you, at the end of the world, smitten, sipping beer from an aluminum can,
watching the monuments burn.
I lean over and wipe the ash from your forehead,
“we did our part, this isn’t our fault, how could it be?”
I am full of shit, a coward who thought memes made a difference,
barely lifting a finger as if to hold up the world,
while others perished paycheck to paycheck.
Smiles fade with the day, smitten turns to guilt ridden, was it really enough?
Could a cog kill the machine? I shake with the earth.
My heart, My head, My hands are trembling
I’ve never felt more alive than here lying with you
I’ve never felt more alive than here dying with you

I came to cough up
The dirty things you made me swallow
Wash it down, medicine man!
Can you keep a secret? I had no choice
Cornered me in the back room, silenced me
Hold it down, I think I can!
I think I think I can
Thirty years in a downspout
Watch it flooding now
Can’t hold on any longer
Foaming at the mouth
Watch it drown, never again!
Shame on you, blame myself
Play it back again
Shame on you, blame myself
Pain is back again
Never say sorry
Not like you meant to waste your best days
Sifting through the gutter of discarded memories
Searching for a reason you’re so fucked up
You’re so fucked up!
Wash it down, Watch it drown
Never ever ever again
This time I’m letting go!
This time I’m in control!
Wash it down, Watch it drown
Never ever ever again
Shame on you, blame myself
Letting go of this pain
Pain.

Settle in a bed of fire, watch the world perspire
Let me feel the warmth you lack for once
Let me feel warm
I’ll watch it burn, smother me out, set it on fire
Watch it all go up in smoke, my whole life, a longing joke
You stoked the harm, you watched me bleed, a boy in need
You unheeding, left me pleading
I’ll watch it burn, smother me out, set it on fire
Sleep tight, hands swing
Better ties envelope me
Light sways over me
Warm my heart and pull my strings
Leave me, won't you? Will healing conscience fail?
Healing light will dance around you
Me, I'm not wading through blurred sight
End the same way I entered the world, blind
I flicker, I flicker (come on, come on)
Light me up (come on, come on)
Sweat it out (come on, come on)
Swelter, Let it burn!
I felt it’s grasp, gasp, blistering
Gave way, I collapse from the weight
Let it carry me or bury me
Match me, make me feel it again
Suffer for the sake of sowing
Sunbath sin, bask in the dancing light
Match me, make me feel it again
We’ll shed ourselves of this world
Blur
Dance with me
Feel the heat (come on, come on)

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!!

Ten years may have passed since the last Bellini record, but the math rock group sound as fierce as ever.

The Sleepwalk Transmissions
by We Never Learned To Live
A post-hardcore megalith from the UK: churning guitars, spacey arrangements, and explosive vocals both screamed and sung.
go to album
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date.
