You lie awake. Truth in your dreams. In summer's heat with sleepless exhaustion. Beneath these lies there's a sorrow in disguise. Beneath these lies there is more. The summer ends, fall comes again. The ground's dressed up in death and decay. Does your heart match the sky? Does it match an autumn's night? Are you blacking out your heart?
Do the changing of the seasons change something deep inside your heart? You only speak the truth in your dreams just so you can lie awake and fall apart.
The winter winds bite at my cheeks. The months roll by, days grow longer. Does your heart match the sky? Does it match a winter's night? Are you blacking out your heart?
Black me out. Let me fall from where you built me so strong from the start. I would rather die in this weather than fight the storm that's blacking out your heart.
I was lucky enough to play with this band for their first show. Needless to say, every time I've seen them since, I've been blown away. Hoping to see them again sometime very soon! Jake Friedrich
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
