Fear of the ones that make it
You sat around and let them take it
You just accept to fake it
And others joy makes you feel naked now
A lifetime of anonymity
A prison of mediocrity
You live the weak man's dream
You prefer to be left be
When you see others rise
You can't stand to see them smile
You see a charm giving up
You break commitment down to luck
You'll always choose the quick way out
I call it planting seeds of doubt
You claim it's contemplation
But your mind works on automation
You claim emancipation
In fact your world's a hater nation now
You're stuck in a bleak purgatory
Unlikely to ever struggle free
You live a life of nods and shrugs
Where Warmth and comfort is your drug
You feel alive and most at home
When haters run the show
You need approval to decide
You're more content to fall in line
You think success is selling out
I call it planting seeds of doubt
Walk through each day with nothing to leave behind
Look for the edge and never believe your mind
The pain that you feel is a product of self design
Sharpen the blade until you enjoy the grind
You assume and think you know
You would prefer to just lay low
You live a life that's in your head
You'd rather stay at home in bed
You think your thought's are really deep
You think that shallowness is cheap
You don't believe in acting out
I call it planting seeds of doubt

This is just great, uptempo and to the point with massive hooks. "Purest Vengeance" is particularly doing it for me and it's gonna take some serious dislodging to get it outta my head. Carlos Marrickvillian
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. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
