lyrics

Look at a photograph, try to take myself away, to better days
But it's not real, just a lie on film, like the lie spilled from your tongue
This beautiful noise, clouding your thoughts, I just want you to feel something again
I'm alone, chasing ghosts, chasing the ghost of you

I'm awake, stuck
Awake in this nightmare
Awake, stuck
Awake in this nightmare

Paralysed, sleep deprived, thoughts of you flash through my mind
Paranoid, stuck in a void, to my fate I am resigned
I am resigned

Look in the mirror, and all that I see, a forgotten man staring back at me
You stole his hope, and crushed his spirit, took a beating heart and tried to kill it
You've got a mouth full of lies, and a head full of doubts. And a heart no one will ever crack
I'm alone, chasing ghosts, chasing the ghost of you

I'm awake, stuck
Awake in this nightmare
Awake, stuck
Awake in this nightmare

Paralysed, sleep deprived, thoughts of you flash through my mind
Paranoid, stuck in a void, to my fate I am resigned
I am resigned

about

Condolences Dundee, UK

Modern melodic hardcore from Dundee, with elements of post-hardcore and post-rock. We seamlessly blend subtle, melodic clean sections with raucous noise, guttural screaming and soaring guitars.
