Trying to Breathe Through Your Eyes

Act I
I see this light flash off and I’ve come here waiting watching all that’s been done in your house
My eyes never wander, my history is done with all will survive in close
Death to open this dream to be like amphetamines
My hope, my will, will die without you
My dearest, doom will only find you when this goes
I’ve come here before god

You had a life
I gave you mine
You had a choice
Options denied

You’re my bloody obsession
Now die under my thumb
Oh, woe, is you again
Now run from me and save yourself

Waiting, just beyond the shadows line, all is calm
Patience, is often just a waste of time, so I have come
All is numb

Act II
Smash through the window, avoid the glass shards
Place my feet where the boards won’t betray my creep
All at once I throw myself on you
Place my hand on your throat, try and press it through you
What a wicked way to wake, familiar eyes bearing down on you
Abrupt as any light flash, as sound as any stones crash
It’s all coming down on you
Flailing arms and flying fingernail catches on my skin it sinks in
Leaves a tell trail reminder here, one that they’ll use to place me there
Trying to scream through your eyes, but I can’t hear a thing
Trying to breathe through your eyes, because your mouth don’t work no more
Starving for oxygen, your brains trying to pull it through the skin
Nothings getting in
I can feel your heart beat fight against my palm
And then it’s calm
All again this fractured night is silent
Numbly turn to leave over creaking boards, through snapping glass on the floor
Through shattered window pane
The foggy streets that won’t let me see far enough to know how far I’ve come
To be where you don’t see me anyway
And it all just guides me home
Where I used to sleep but sleep don’t come no more
I just lay on the floor and stare
Trying not to think about it all
Trying not to let it eat away anymore as I wait
Wait for them to find me

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
