I didn't see the mountains,
just the sky that fell upon them
I knew my place at the bottom
and I held the water up, for you
These floodgates were built on the fuel from the past
I couldn't keep my distance, anchored by deliverance
and you still swam, but in my shadow
for some distraction
for the convenience
These floodgates were built by the fury of the past
Like I'm giving all I forget to give
like I'm waiting here for you to forgive...
But then my worry, turned to anger, how could I be so sorry for nothing?
For nothing....

The lights are on, but the room is empty,
and if it wasn’t for the scent of memory,
you’d turn them off, and hold your breath
for the next step towards an idea,
spiteful to yesterday
The principles are tired, an aging slave to your own view,
separate yourself from your own detriment
and find yourself in bloom
Hushed tones when you say what you really mean,
useless intentions to keep yourself clean,
veering between safety and the prize,
you’ll have neither until you realise
The principles are tired, an aging slave to your own view,
sacrificing worth to have some upper hand
if it all falls through
Don’t spend your days wide of the mark

Hold Fire / Blow Smoke

Blurred out by lucid expectation
so fervent that you forgot to live up to your own
Cherishing pocket-sized ideas,
losing self to nothing important,
hiding behind loose teeth,
and taking your truth to bed for a midnight lease
Somewhere’s always waiting,
someone’s always weighing you up conditionally,
like there’s no fire in hesitation
In the shadow of loss,
you’re wrapped up in forgotten words.
No care for progress, while the nonsense keeps,
you only find peace to sail in your sleep
Somewhere’s always waiting,
someone’s always weighing you down from the outside in,
where there’s a fire in hesitation
Exhale, don’t breathe back in
before it’s too soon
This isn’t apathy, but there is a density so heavy.
When you’re easily removed, you’re easily removing yourself
So exhale, so exhale…
And hold your own.
And wear your smoke.

Something has to change when rhetoric owns you
like a well versed patient
trapped inside six panes of glass
Where your eyes are haunted by dirt cheap sadness
they can see you, but they can’t help you
So something has to change
and control it has your name,
and thoughts like these weren’t built to last
Keep raining on until you rein it in
And wear yourself well
not like a memory dying in her definition
Convinced it will never end
Let it come, let it go
Let it come to let it go, let it go
It’s gone as soon as you can admit it
it’s gone as soon as you let it...GO!
To not be consumed by the loyalty of another

Tempered by dusk, permanently tempted
by visions of love, to keep my gaze set west
Light and warmth, for truth and company
when reality sinks, and the curtains lift
the rippling horses, the skipping stones
the winter burns, all marks I will never shift
All marks I will never shift...
And when you really want to exist
it becomes your biggest burden,
searching for moments
armed with arrows of sentiment
but will they ever reach their target?
And do you really want it all
before you’ve even got a hold…

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!!

Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!
