lyrics

I felt pretty scared,
you, crying halfway up the stairs
your hands look pretty red,
and I don’t think it’s fair

I don’t think it speaks,
any differently
from the sirens calling for you from the street
get off me.

I’ve been careless,
with my confidence
pulling out my hair and still
lying to my parents.

I had it all and I kept it for myself
You made me promise,
but I can’t keep that as well.

This is why I hate your help,
this is why I can’t trust anybody else
telling me to keep the cut clean
cauterise it if you need
but there won’t be any other chance

please don’t leave me by myself.

Watching as it starves,
hanging from the arms
giving it an inch will end up giving you a scar

it’s only fun until somebody gets hurt
so who’s gonna stick the knife in first.

This is why I hate your help,
but this is why I can’t trust anybody else
always telling me to keep the cut clean
cauterise it if you need
but there won’t be any other chance

please don’t leave me by myself.

it looks painful,
to know that you’re capable
of caring for everyone else
but sparing yourself
that same act of kindness
your chemicals work with violence.

this is why I hate your help
this is why I can’t trust anybody else.

This is why I hate your help,
but this is why I can’t trust anybody else
always telling me to keep the cut clean
cauterise it if you need
but there won’t be any other chance

please don’t leave me by myself.

The Romance Of Affliction
by SeeYouSpaceCowboy...

supported by 5 fans who also own “NO THANKS”

Romance of Affliction somehow makes an old genre feel brand new. Amazing. I would have swore this album was from 2005 if I didn't see with my own eyes it wasn't. SYSC takes everything good about mid-00s metalcore and brings it into the modern day, leaving behind the trash. It's a pure distillation of the genre with brilliant structure, pacing, and lyrics. The album ebbs and flows, letting emotions swell before punching in with some of the most intense passages I've heard in a while. rettisawesome

Heroine
by Thornhill

supported by 5 fans who also own “NO THANKS”

I like the direction the band went on this record. They took the atmosphere of TDP, and made it grittier and dirtier - it's reminding me of bands like Deftones in the best possible way. There are a few tracks that I'm struggling to like, but even those have memorable moments that make me want to replay them again. Vivian

Otherness
by Alexisonfire

supported by 5 fans who also own “NO THANKS”

beyond all else, Alexisonfire have always been the absolute best at what they do. This LP is no different. It's such a rare and amazing thing to be listening to the same band for 20 yrs and still be blown away by their talent, progression, and pure commitment to what they do. Nothing else to say but thanks. eliel
