lyrics
This is a cry of desperation
An answer to my every dream
The overcast will haze my lungs
With a sun too dim to see
The hearts of those I love
Marked grey cast out to sea
I’ve broken hearts like empty bottles
Now they’ll burn out and die for me
Drink to the death of admiration
And open wide for “woe is me”
For every hour I rest these eyes
I lose a year of hope for me
Someday I’ll beg god to break my fall
A monument of tired words
Will later rot and give to fall
A commemoration of empty arms
Still too dead to feel it all
Suburban love tryst
I’m shaking knives at willing wrists
And I want out come next fall
Retrace my steps to home
Reacquainted with a love for loss
I’ll offer myself to her
Remembering that we once were

"Curse These Metal Hands" parlays the UK bands' chemistry into a record which—for all its tinnitus-inducing ferocity and elegiac arrangements—practically drips with transcendent joy. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 19, 2019
