Crutch
lyrics
I'm so lost
I'm so alone
I'm so far away from home
Black my eyes
I can't see
Fill my lungs and let me breathe
I'm so lost
I'm so alone
I'm so far away from home
Black my eyes
I can't see
Fill my lungs and let me breathe
If distance makes the heart grow fonder;
Why do I feel so alone?
A stranger to the life we built;
An outcast to the love I've known?
Some days are better than others,
But it's mostly just a blur.
I don't seem to sleep anymore,
Can't seem to find meaning in the words.
I care for you so much it hurts and when you leave, I know it'll be the worst feeling deep within my stomach, but I know you must. I can't stand in your way with some fickle attention for your lust but I feel like I must, or you'll forget the love we once knew. That which I can only imagine now that I can no longer see you. So I'll do my best to heal you, give you hope and lift you up. For so long I thought you were my crutch, but maybe I was yours all along
Fix my frail bones
Lift me up
The remnants of you
Act as a crutch
Without you
I've forgotten how to live
Until you return
I'm only hollow skin
I'm so lost
I'm so alone
I'm so far away from home
Black my eyes
I can't see
Fill my lungs and let me breathe
I'm so lost
I'm so alone
I'm so far away from home
Black my eyes
I can't see
Fill my lungs and let me breathe

On this raging triad of smart, pit-starting confessionals, the Canadian metalcore band ponder just as hard as they pummel. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 13, 2018
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
