lyrics

the atmosphere burns from toxic emissions, and we keep getting murdered simply for existing.
We are out on the cutting board to dissect and manipulate.
radicalization does not take much for all, but provides much for all, and fruitless, spineless liberalism will only stand idle while we spiral down the same path.
what good is a cage?
what good is our blood running down drains?
what does our suffering show?
there’s no choice left but unite and grow.

we are punished by capital
we are written off as margins
we are restrained in rhetoric
we are all meant for something more

don’t you know, you better run?
poor people gonna rise up and get their share
queer people gonna rise up and get their share
black people gonna rise up and take what’s theirs

a melody of deserving
ringing through the ether
deregulation, deforestation
a stripping of rights upon first creation
disgust unrivaled now.

we are all on the precipice
of being a victim,
whether homeless
in massive debt
or dead in a casket.

we are punished by capital
we are written off as margins
we are restrained in rhetoric
we are all meant for something more
for all the ones we’ve lost
there is no choice left to make
there is no time left to waste
there is only one way out of this

only one way out
we will rise and
we will get what we deserve

for every broken soul
for every stolen life
an acknowledgement must be made
an atonement
and life must be celebrated
even when in despair
even when lost

Silence

supported by 4 fans who also own “Brightly Lit for Bad Decisions”

What a blast! Heavy, in fast and in slow moments. It's like getting your skin ripped off by a wet storm of cutting guitars and the nervously pushing and never resting rhythm section. I'm sweating... voituresbrulees

"Veil" made me cry. A surprisingly difficult, yet necessary, thing to do. Quite grateful for that. Cathartic, amazing album. Rumpel Vim

What might a band like Indian Summer or Native Nod sound like if they were thrashing around a 21st century basement? It could be something like this. Luke

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!! Darknight
