lyrics

Despite my resolve
to close this chapter of time
I fail to turn the page
Reciting the words every night

The story unties the knot in my mind
it tightens each time I close my eyes

Resilient are the memories eroding my mind
Relentless feelings of enclosure chaos tears down my spine
I try to move on from the hell in place of what was my life
Answers beyond my reach, I’m crippled but not ready to die

I draw what feels like the first breath
since I can remember
you will not be my end

Thoughts and actions bounded by increasing strength not felt until now
With aching arms and chest I pull myself from up off the ground
And Dark have been my days of late though through of wondering how
I came to see light, escape the blind, and

Disallow myself trapped of this nightmare,
I’ve had enough of regressing the way I live
I’ve felt the pain of inducing a torment
A thousand times that I buried myself til

No never again will I surrender
the darkness that cast over my soul
solace now found
filling my mind with the air of clarity
darkness dies tonight

While my veins
Still hold blood

While my lungs
Still hold breath
I won't relent

Heroine

I like the direction the band went on this record. They took the atmosphere of TDP, and made it grittier and dirtier - it's reminding me of bands like Deftones in the best possible way. There are a few tracks that I'm struggling to like, but even those have memorable moments that make me want to replay them again. Vivian
