I've lost my sight
I'm just blind behind wide opened eyes
Now I'm just a ghost
On the passenger seat.
Let's write a story
Of words we never meant to say
As if I ever understood what you meant to me...
Catch me!
It's a story about suffer
Tales of a former me
I kneel before lines I've never heard
Progress brought me here by chance.
Basically I'm stuck between me and the I I never got to be
Between us and the you you used to be.
This is a failure of an autobiography.
Could you find me, please?
I always came to grief as I tried to clean the mess I've left
It's this lie in believe to bring me down
the higher I climb the harder I fall.
You said you always knew
What we would turn out to be
You said you always knew
I've lost my sight
I'm just blind behind wide opened eyes
Now I'm just a ghost
On the passenger seat.
Let's write a story
Of words we never had to say
Now I finally understand what you mean to me...
Catch me!

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
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
