the machine it turns taking a piece of me
shackled to this life of monotony
building the pieces that remain
a life spent wasted a daily campaign
you could waste your time
you could never change
feelings like this i couldn’t foresee
a younger age so blissfully
turn the page of a book that reads
harder pages eventually
you could waste your time
you could never change
you could live you’re whole life
it’s just one big game
i look to find there’s nothing inside
this search within had left me to dry
release release this pain won’t cease
it’s pulling me apart it’s pulling me apart
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
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore.

One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
