My vision is so blurry, I'll slowly drift away, reading my own palms in hopes of better days.
Tracing over lines through the orange of the sides.
This bottle that's as empty as I'm feeling deep inside.
Dead inside.
This will be the end of me.
Washed away, in seas of apathy.
I am not who I was meant to be.
I've forgotten how to sleep.
I can't control my thoughts.
Bartered sanity for therapy, stories for ink blots.
Played the role for pastors and the bullshit that they taught.
Living day to day, while my insides rot.
I'll let my blood serve as my voice.
Screaming its way through these purple throats, that tangle themselves inside my wrists.
I carve the names into my wrists of the ones who cause the pain.
Every slash is just an "I", cause I'm too hurt to spell my name.
Alive, but with what right to be?
If this is all that's left of me.
Growing up in the Midwest US in the early 2000s, this is a blast to listen to! A total throwback to It Dies Today, Wings of Scarlet, Arkangel, and maybe even some Bleeding Through! Metalcore is still alive, at least in the UK... great work, folks! sam metal xvx
I'm relatively new to Vein.fm's catalogue, but this album hits like a damn truck. Insane vocals and enthralling guitar riffs. A bit too short for my taste but it is an absolute treat! Alex Jesus
