I fail every single day
To call myself by own full name
I praise how I let down
My childhood self, and I don't know how
but I got lost
I’ve been discouraged since I don’t know when
For last few years I reinforced my shame
I pray, today, to end the blame
I chain, myself, to one fixed way
Forget, all the things you planned
Regret, for every choice you made
Compelled, to find one right way
You’ve been misled by your choice of fate
And now you’re lost
I’ve been discouraged since I don’t know when
For last few years I reinforced my shame
I pray, today, to end the blame
I chain, myself, to one fixed way
I get lost,
every single day,
then I get found,
then you leave me be,
then I get lost,
and I root for the day
I won’t get found,
and stop this cliche

Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.

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
I'm sorry I missed out on this band 'til now. Landscapes sound excellent, a must for any fan of UKHC in the first decade of the century. I'd put them on a playlist with early Gallows, Alexisonfire, Comeback Kid, Dead Swans, Lay It On The Line, Mercury League and HHH. Burning Flag Designs
