Your hands marked her face
Your life smudged her history
Trying to drown your hate
Fueled a torrent of misery
I know I'll never find strength in the bottom of empty glasses
I know I'm bound to find pain in the bottom of empty glasses
Holy men betrayed you
When you were very young
You kept the cycle going
By victimizing your wife and son
I know I'll never be safe in the bottom of empty glasses
I know I'll never find hope in the bottom of empty glasses
Predisposed to violence
Predisposed to pain
Predisposed to anger
Predisposed to rage
The nightmare found its ending
In a fatal final dose
But your family won't find comfort
Eternally haunted by your ghost
This is one of the best albums to come out last year. Rarely does a modern day hardcore band write something this catchy and solid all the way through. 10/10 robolitious
Another kickass effort from the Toronto punks, steeped in the traditions of straight edge, post-hardcore, and ’90s alternative rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2023
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
