I don’t want you to touch me
I don’t want you to ruin this night
I don’t want you tell me what I
what I don't wanna hear
I don’t want to feel unsafe
I don’t want to be in despair
I don’t want you to take advantage
of your presumed power
I am sick of smiling
when I’m filled with pure disgust
I am sick of balancing
understanding with anger
I won’t be pleasing, for your comfort, won’t pretend
I am no prey
I don’t accept your lame excuse
I don’t wanna hear you playing down
I am not your killing joy
you are playing the wrong game
I am no prey
I am no prey
I won’t be intimidated
when it’s time to get angry
You’re a beast, but I’m not your prey
like a mantra I recite:
I will resist
I will fight back
I will scream
even if I’m silent
Your behavior is a declaration of war
you won’t be able to win
You make me throw up
I hope you choke on my vomit
The fire’s raging inside me
I’m gonna burn you down
I won’t accept to feel miserable
I will make you break cover
The fire’s raging inside me
I’m gonna burn you down
your attempt to shush me
will raise my scorn
I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
Construct is a more chaotic sequel to Archivist that continues the original and epic scifi story with a really interesting shift in the arc. The cover art shows the progression elegantly. This entire discography is a must have.
