GROWING UP ALL ALONE EVERYDAY WAS SPENT IN SOLITUDE HIDDEN AWAY IN THE DEEPEST RECESS OF YOUR MIND YOU GREW UP SO ESTRANGED SO FAR FROM THE CLOSEST EVERY EFFORT TO BRIDGE THE GAP JUST FAILED TO PASS SO CAN YOU SEE HOW IT FAIRED WHEN YOU LAID IT OUT IN FRONT? THE WHISPERING AND THE BITING CASTED FROM THE SHADOW DEEP AND IN YOUR MIND YOU BURIED THE WORLD IN DARKNESS LOSING STRENGTH AND LOSING FAITH THE WORLD SURROUNDING YOU CAME CRASHING DOWN AND SO WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED? TEN YEARS ON AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? STILL FINDING PEACE IN THE DISTANCE STILL JUST A MEMORY THAT YOU LIVE EVERYDAY SOMEHOW SO FAMILIAR LIKELY CLOSE TO HOME BECAUSE HE IS ME HE IS YOU HE IS EVERYONE WE KNEW AND WE’VE ALL FELT IT IN TIME LIKE WE’VE BEEN LEFT ALONE LIKE NO ONE IS THE SAME OR SHARES THE PAIN WE HAVE I CAN’T KEEP LIVING IN FEAR I CAN’T KEEP LIVING IN FEAR I WANT TO BREAK FREE I WANT TO FLY FREE LIKE NOTHING’S KEPT ME HERE

IT’S FUNNY HOW TIME JUST SEEMS TO SLIP ON THROUGH THE CRACKS IN LIFE AND THE MEMORIES WE HOLD ONTO AND ONE BY ONE WHERE ONCE THEY SAT IN A PLACE THAT WAS FILLED WITH LIFE THEY SEEMED TO LINGER PEACEFULLY BUT GROWING DAYS SEEM TO STEAL THEM BACK AND FROM TIME TO TIME ONE JUST SEEMS TO SURFACE FROM NOWHERE NOT JUST A MEMORY BUT IT BRINGS THE FEELINGS THAT ONCE BELONGED THE GOOD WITH THE GOOD AND THE BAD SO OFTEN TOO IT SEEMS TO BE WHAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED THE THING THAT STEERS ME TOO MANY TIMES HAVE I PASSED THIS OFF AS JUST A FLEETING THOUGHT BUT AT WHAT POINT DO WE ACCEPT THIS AS A SIGN AS GUIDANCE THAT WE LACK SOMETHING HERE AND NOW? AND I’VE USED THIS ALL TO MY BEST AND I’VE KEPT THE THINGS THAT MEANT MOST CLOSE AT HAND IN NEW BEGINNINGS I’VE FOUND SO MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT DESERVING OF THAN I THOUGHT DESERVED

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca
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.
