Why do I lie to myself and still pretend
I don't remember every second of every hour that we ever spent together,
your blood red cheeks in the cold (I beg you) follow me home,
there's no cars on the drive, all the house lights are out.
I know it's been a while since I got your train
but it's been longer since you got mine and I never said a thing.
Daisy hill so easily you always get to me, I can hardly breathe.
At the end of the street I swear I saw myself walk in front of the road
and with a flash of light I was gone, I was fucking gone.
In my dreams why is your house number upside down,
why do floorboards creek so loud as if death was chasing me,
since the day I was born death's been chasing me back home.
And when my time comes at the end of the road
I'll be waiting here, set me free.
No longer my home. No longer shelter.
The clouds will cover me wherever I may be.
Trapped in a dying world, the winters last too long.
The winters last forever.
Why do I lie to myself and still pretend
I don't remember every month of every year that we ever spent together.
Your blood red cheeks in the cold follow me home.
Daisy hill so easily you always get to me. I can hardly breath.
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз
