You leave your trails and you roam the still cool woods
Leaving too much, too little behind
You’re licking wounds and you’re tasting unknown blood
Charming bruises, defiant scars
Withered boughs get caught in your sheer dress
Like an hommage, a painful reminder
Beautiful world
Where have you been hiding
You bore yourself to death
This trade pays off
Everyone’s poisoned, everything is unsafe
You’re choosing the dose to take
In a clearing gazing at the two-faced sun
Getting burned, but you’d do it all again
Beautiful world
Where have you been hiding
You bore yourself to death
This trade pays off
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.
