1.
I burrowed deep Under the ground I can’t see through this fog The blinding mist of every morning To wake, I must die I can’t seem to bear the weight I can’t remember you The soft caress of your touch I can feel every second fade away Each moment tainted by the knowledge That I’ll leave I see hands Grip my throat Choking my soul I can’t see through the fog The blinding mist of every morning To wake, I must die I can’t seem to bear the weight So many broken promises Each bridge that I burn Cuts like a knife So deathly pale I can’t meet your weak eyes They cut the deepest
2.
Broken heart, broken mind Don’t tell me its all fine Empty house, empty bed Can’t forget what she said Left alone, left to rot Nothing left but memories Every hour, every day Hoping that you’ll fade away Empty space inside my heart Can’t you just make it go away A ceaseless sprint to eternal death Life in shades of gray A puppet left with no strings Autumn, 49 Winter, 52 Spring it’s 44 Summer I can’t keep track Tired out, yes I’m tired out I wanna know, what you’ll never show With each little touch, You leave me again A victim of care A soldier of fate I would do anything To see you just Once more Once more

Vacant Eyes 03:39
All those times you gave me love I thought that it would never change Nights we laughed and nights we fucked And nights we thought we’d have it all But of course it had to end Nothing good will ever last Now I count the second hand Moving so intractable Apathy, death’s greatest friend I wish you never came into my life Oh, each day I try to purge you from my soul You’re lost in my vacant eyes And I can’t, drag myself into the light So, I cower in this darkness And I’ll never escape This hole I’ve dug Ichor arises From the gaping wound I carve Into the quaking flesh of my heart
4.
Frail Forms 03:21
Close your eyes little girl I promise I’m right Focus on the sound of my voice Please don’t go just yet I want to hear your voice Every day of my life I don’t want the world to be this cruel If I can’t exist in it with you All I did was dread this day And it came just the same I pictured your frail form Growing cold in my arms Now I sit with a blank face Razor held to my wrist It seems to me there’s just one choice So why is it so hard to choose?
5.
Entwined hands Imperfect hearts I smile and lie and say that it’s fine Then break down and cry, and watch as you die Each day we wake and try to ignore The awful truth of what’s in store Bit by bit and day by day I have to watch you fade away The pain is too much to bear How the fuck is anything fair Iron scented regret Salt-flecked sorrow Sifting through my memories Self-inflicted tragedy Falling daggers pierce my flesh Rain like fire strips my skin Little moments lodged inside Never, never let me go Always with the minutiae Never lets me hold onto Wishing that I could go back Wishing that I never left Drifting through nothing Tumbling all the way All those awful things I said Swirling up inside my head Oh what I’d give for one more day Oh what I’d give for just one hour with you All the world is cold gray Nothing left but to decay
6.
Centuries left alone The bleak truth Scar my heart Spill my guts Break my bones Crush my soul Burned it all, turned to ash Let it all, turn to ash Burned it all, turned to ash Let it all, turn to ash Cursed with your rage, in my veins Leaving me no choice Please don’t let me die here Alone with all my mistakes Stealing all my fading moments Of pure respite The danger in knowing All that is to come Don’t make me live Each last breath Each last word Each last breath Each last word Can’t see you in the next life Can’t live the life that I’m left When you died I ceased to be Can’t love anyone All I scream And all I write Can’t bring back you Can’t bring back you Trapped in this shell Old and alone

about

The mysterious and elusive Weep returns with their first solo endeavor, a six track EP spanning 21 minutes of genre-bending soul-crushing DSBM post-hardcore fusion. Reminiscent of Ulver in one breath and Touché Amoré in the next, Weep continues to evolve the sound developed on their first two splits. Ghostly leads float over strained tremolos, melodies welling up like blood from a wound with frantic drums and driving bass helping to hammer home the overwhelming sorrow at Weep's core. With a lyrical focus on grief and the strain of life following the death of a loved one, Weep continues to elevate DSBM beyond it's overwrought histrionics into something truly transcendent.
