have you had enough?

All the eyes need new ideas
Buying fear to feed their dealers
Can't call it love and sound sincere
But have you had enough?
Looking for an easy answer
Find it in a lazy manner
Know you're never getting better
But have you had enough?
'Cause the cycle is vicious
The greed is a sickness
Evil is all around
Always reaching for something
Will leave you with nothing
There's no one to save you now
Bet you think you could've had her
Fell into a common pattеrn
Lie awake, await disaster
But havе you had enough?
A narcissist who loves to chatter
A nihilist 'cause nothing matters
An egotist on the wrong ladder
But have you had enough?
'Cause the cycle is vicious
The greed is a sickness
Evil is all around
Always reaching for something
Will leave you with nothing
There's no one to save you now
You lie to my face
You never give, just take
Now all my bitterness is getting heavy
Don't call the fuzz
It's just getting good
And there's no one here to save you now
There's a new high, but you just sink so low
You'd rather sit and moan
You're never looking for a resolution
Get what you settle for
Every cover will be overthrown
Overthrown
You lie to my face
You never give, just take
Now all my bitterness is getting heavy
Don't call the fuzz
It's just getting good
And there's no one here to save you now
There's a new high, but you just sink so low
Have you fucking had enough?

the cost of giving up
03:17
|

Today's a shade of disbelief
Inflict the shame you sent to me
I can entrust a new meaning
I’m not ready
So is this what it feels like?
Breaking from the inside all the time
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one I’m running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Lift me up
It burrows like a summer tick
Embeds itself to make me sick
Of all the places it could be
It's still in me
Guess this is what it feels like
Speaking from the dark side of my mind
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry, it’s all getting heavy
Lift me up
Can’t push me further down in the trench
B-b-back against the wall
So you wanna test me now?
While the others beg and fail to repent
They were fit to suffer
And I will dig back out
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I’m the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Tell me, what’s the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Lift me up
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Giving up
Giving up

Coward
They're all around us
Stab me in the back and you don't think twice
Refute amity and now I'm vilified
Horror reigning down on the demonstration
Down with your performative action
Rain down, rain down
You know you can't trust no one
Have you seen yourself?
I'm not a sucker, I can see right through
When your spirit's black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what's coming true?
And the hate won't count you out
It'll leave you in the shadows
They're all around us
Never wait around, for the day will come
Disintegrate into a frail remembrance
Stolеn off the back from the ones you lovеd
You take their hand, then you claim corruption
Rain down, rain down
You know you can't trust no one
Have you seen yourself?
You motherfucker, I can see right through
Wave your false flag
Traitors all around
I'm discontent until they stay down
When your spirit's black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what's coming true?
And the hate won't count you out
It'll leave you in the shadows
They're all around us
But underneath
Under the weight of God
Crawling on your knees
Un-believe
All of the promise in you
There's a fate you'll meet
From every inch of the mire
They claw to grasp for what was never theirs to take
Ignorance is a poison
They feed their kids and then they walk among us
When your spirit's black and blue
And the heroes all desert you
Will you curse what's coming true?
And the hate won't count you out
It'll leave you in the shadows
They're all around us
They're all around us
They're all around us

What have you heard?
No, don't you dare answer me
There is a frailty
My only loyalty is what I owe to me
Don't make it worse
I can find comfort in the words
I won't let them out
I don't need to speak it out to hear their sound
No more of your promise to change
I hope that you stay just the same
I wasn't born yesterday
I'm not moving back to your negative space

My heavy mind sinks lower by the minute
I can barely stand it
I tear through the lines, seeking absolution
Can a fragile heart decide on you?
Will it end in tears?
Will I let the fear win?
Take the ride or die while trying
Have I seen it all?
Why am I so divisive?
I can't fight it
Underneath, over me
We're spinning in a spiral
You hold me in a vicious cycle
You lie to me casually
And I'm dying in denial
It still feels vital
I want to believe
There's a motivation in negative spaces (Spaces)
Head over feet, I'm following the feeling
Will it end in tears?
Will I let the fear win?
I can't fight it
While my fragile heart takes time on me
Underneath, over me
We're spinning in a spiral
You hold me in a vicious cycle
You lie to me casually
And I'm dying in denial
It still feels vital
Have I learned the signs?
I've been everywhere and back again
Don't know if, if I read it right
I've been real discerning
At my heart's request
But everything you are is vital
Underneath, over me
We're spinning in a spiral
You hold me in a vicious cycle
You lie to me casually
And I'm dying in denial
It still feels vital
Underneath, over me, over me
Underneath, over me, yeah
You lie to me so casually
And I'm dying in denial
It still feels vital (Still feels vital)
(Still feels vital)

You'd cave under pressure
Wade in the dust
Are you the aggressor?
Why do you fight to be right?
Can't sleep with eyes closed, they've come for blood
Cut them, they're multiplying, they walk among us
When mercy's weakness, if God will judge
Just make it painless, keep looking up
'Cause I'm pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing's еnough for you
The signs read as fiction
The crooks took a sidе
Do you bear witness?
Or will you hide from the light? (The light)
'Cause I'm pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing's enough for you
I've seen the end over in my head
Testing me with insanity's grip
'Cause the truth will bury you
What do you want?
When nothing's enough
'Cause I'm pleading my own defense
I made the same mistakes again
You hang it over my head
Can you tell me, what do you want with me?
When nothing's enough for you
When nothing's enough for you

the center’s falling out
02:25
|
|||
|
Admit defeat
The buzzing won't ever stop
In the trench, in the rot
Plead with God, 'cause it's all that you got
Hell has no end
Hate has no bounds
You're breathing
But the center's falling out
Blood in the leaves
Hand over mouth
Won't hear your screams
While the center's falling out
No one will weep
And the agony won't be discreet
The horrors proceed
And your legacy can't be redeemed
Ah, Hell has no end
Hate has no bounds
You're breathing
But the cеnter's falling out
Blood in the leavеs
Hand over mouth
Won't hear your screams
While the center's falling out
I wish you nothing
The pain grows in misery's bed
While the center is falling out
Through the cracks in the pale white
I watch you suffer
And do nothing
And with a clutching grip for hope
Let me take you back to where you're from
Eye for an eye
I earned my stripes
I run in your mind
Eye for an eye
I earned my stripes
I run in your mind

Hahahaha
Negative spaces
Is there a motivation
In negative spaces? Hm
Or are we all just trying to restart?
Hey there
Are you a little nervous?
I heard all the talking
No one really listens
I think you're on to something
Don't expect the notice
I don't envy your position
They'll never get to know us, never

negative spaces

At the world, I'm amazed
But you'll never tell by my face
The sentiment is overblown
All the lies are stuck in my throat
I fill my skull with nonsense
Live an implicated consequence
And it's all so negative
I'll pretend that it's not happening
What I love, they're always tryin' to take
And my fury's keeping me awake
I'm immune to the heartache
I've been living with the dull pain
Am I addicted to despair?
And wasting time I'll never get back?
If there's a Hell, I'll meet you there
I'm in the waiting room
I fill my skull with nonsense
Live an implicated consequence
And it's all so negative
I'll pretend that it's not happening
I like what I represent
My anger comes at my expense
There's always something to be up against
I'll pretend that it's not happening
To me, to us, to everyone, the world
The gods, the dogs, I'm not impressed
But I attest, I say with my whole chest
Every moment's vital and I'm feeling suicidal
But I smile
I fill my skull with nonsense
Live an implicated consequence
And it's all so negative
I'll pretend that it's not happening
I like what I represent
My anger comes at my expense
There's always something to be up against
I'll pretend that I'm not scared
I'll tell myself that it's not happening

surviving on defiance
03:28
|

|
When I run
You won't find me by tracing my steps
From what I wanted
All the horrors you made so real
Burned in mind as promised
If I'm living, know I'm half-alive
I'm surviving on defiance
I'm fighting in the wake
Unfettered so maybe
Flowers will bloom for me again
The mirror in my face
She's screaming for blood and violence
But it's my time to pretend
As it was
I was losing myself to a fear as a bitter constant
Oh, I refuse to know you from here
I'm a tempered object
While the future's still looking bright
I'm surviving on defiance
I'm fighting in the wake
Unfettered so maybe
Flowers will bloom for me again
The mirror in my face
She's screaming for blood and violence
But it's my time to pretend
So run

Poppy
Ah
I'm in too deep, I'm make-believe
I know the demons always choose me
They shift and twist, push back again
They're always trying to consume me
I cannot let it in
They'll take my everything
But leave me nothing, I've lost all feeling
No, I don't wanna bend to my own loneliness
I'll scream 'til nothing's left (On and on)
'Cause they push and pull me down
And I'm forced to face the who I've become
The silence screams so loud
I caught myself before the bottom
I need a new way, give me a new way out
The pain and all the pretty things
Are yours if you can bear to see it
You are the risk, the reckoning (Recko—, recko—)
If you're brave enough to mean it
No, I don't wanna bend to my own loneliness
I'll scream 'til nothing's left (On and on)
'Cause they push and pull me down
And I'm forced to face the who I've become
The silence screams so loud
I caught myself before the bottom
Are you gonna get up?
Or are they gonna keep you down?
Down, oh, oh
Get up
'Cause they push and pull me down
And I'm forced to face the who I've become
The silence screams so loud
I caught myself before the bottom
I need a new way, give me a new way
I need a new way, give me a new way out
I need a new way, give me a new way out
New way out
Oh

tomorrow

Dreaming, dreaming my life away
For tomorrow, for tomorrow, I'll be ready
Tomorrow, I'll change
Tomorrow, tomorrow doesn't wait for me, for me
But it's not just for me anymore
I like entertaining, don't we all like entertaining?
Tell me, tell me, it's not just for me anymore

halo
03:41
|

|
I was fine for a minute 'til I remembered
You were somewhere on a distant shore
You left it as it was before
Caught wind of a panic, does woe have a limit?
Still something 'bout it's looking up
Or can an optimist self-destruct?
So wait it out, the road is winding narrow
It's all you have
I know you can't turn back now
I'll follow where your light goes
'Cause they don't know what we know
A live-and-learn lesson, a lover's edition
I'm hanging on 'cause I trust
It's easier than giving up
A million one reasons and I'm full of ambition
And they're gawking as we keep it hush
Quеstion raising, "You know whats?"
You know what? Look at us
So wait it out, the road is winding narrow
It's all you have
I know you can't turn back now
I'll follow wherе your light goes
'Cause they don't know what we know
You're in a dream
You're everybody's hero
But it's you and me
Still love you if the light goes out
I could fix your halo
Still they don't know what we know
The future's never gonna wait
Every plan will have its place
I could fix your halo
They don't know what we know

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
by Knocked Loose
supported by 41 fans who also own “Negative Spaces”
The title is very encouraging. There's a lit up cross. While I usually lean to the more melodic styles of music and gentler approaches, I think this sounds pretty cool and unique. Maybe not that unique, but it is unique. I think the singer is having a lot of fun with his style of screaming. I like the crushing rhythms of the guitars too. Heavy!!! The impact is like a meteor.

Darkness Visible - EP
by Stephen Roddy
An experimental composer from Ireland, Stephen Roddy proves equally adept at crushing soundscapes as he does mysterious melodies.
go to albumGnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges.

Cutting the Throat of God
by Ulcerate
supported by 24 fans who also own “Negative Spaces”
Ulcerate has got to be one of the most consistent death metal bands out there. ‘Cutting the Throat of God’ is an excellent addition to an already stellar catalog. It undulates with densely atmospheric, dissonant, progressive, pummeling death metal and the occasional lighter passage to give some breathing room. As always with Ulcerate the drumming is what stands out the most to me, especially the use of cymbals. 8/10

Bloodmoon: I
by Converge & Chelsea Wolfe

Immaculate! Just a stunning example of power and contained fury with all players putting maximum input to deliver a work of hardcore majesty. Easily the best supergroup album for the 21st century.
