You’re looking up to see the light,
You’re searching for your Jesus Christ.
To understand who we are.
You said you had some tears to show.
My friend, that was years ago, just be a man and play your part.
We are the common cold falling to pieces.
We are the lion show, singing and bleeding.
Just take the time to build your house,
While everybody’s bleeding out.
The hands you cast are turned away.
Your lies are like a currency,
Your spitting in the mouths you feed.
It’s hard to fast inside your grave.
These are the common goals, sing if you’re with me.
We are the lion show, singing and bleeding.
The rain it comes and we all keep singing.
Take hold and don’t let go. (We’re never gonna fear the reign)
Sing high and let that flow. (We’re never gonna fear the reign)
Straight through your skin and bone. (We’re never gonna fear the reign)
You’ll find the great unknown. (We’re never gonna fear the reign)
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 22, 2019
