I like to write things down but I don’t like to read them
I like to draw pictures but I don’t like to keep them
We tell ourselves we are special, well today I feel especially worthless
I sit and feel like every component of my physical form could serve a greater purpose than it’s used
for
I suppose the world is far too cruel to let us live in a fantasy for too long
Reality eventually sings her funeral song
Lately I feel as hard as diamonds, but with none of their shine
Lately I could murder men and bathe in their blood
I could cut this failure into my flesh and salt the wound to death
This gaping hole in my chest just breathes fire, just breathes unrest
But how do I rest? How do I breathe? And will I ever truly forgive?
Maybe I’ll never truly be free; now that you’ve let him see a side of you that was meant for me
You were supposed to be the one I walked through heaven and hell with
I’m a martyr, slain by lions in front of mocking sinners
I’m a slave, beaten like a dog until he begs for mercy
I’m a cancer patient, weakened by disease and the treatment he endures
I’m the father, and the mother
Sometimes I feel like I was born doomed for hell or made perfectly for heaven
It’s black or white
It’s life or death
Always binary options and polar opposites, but life is grey
Made perfectly for heaven
I’m sleepless nights, thoughts taunting you as you beg for a seconds rest
I’m her smile when she delivered the final blow
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
Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020).
The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time.
So hearing KSE always reminds me of him,r.i.p.
Jesse leach is an amazing vocalist and lyricist,howard too. love 'em both.
Adam is a genius period.
Mike's an amazing drawer/artist and bass player.
Joel and justin are rythm legends,scott (old drummer i think)was a beast too.
God bless you KSE cheers from France thejusticemetalsword
One of my fav releases of 2018. This album slays from start to finish. Caustic vocals, chainsaw guitar riffs and thick pummeling drums. Aussie death metal at its finest! big G
