Waving in vain for attention or surrender.
Waiting to make it to where there is some kind of warmth.
There’s a way to be together alone.
Keeping myself from the ones who want more.
Fits in my hands isn’t all I can hold.
There is just not enough time to make more.
A second to breath is a second too long.
Finally feeling the warmth.
Even through a stained glass window the sun either shines or doesn't.
The day is bright and new.
The light is in my room.
So are you.
No simple truths.
Need proof.
This is probably the 10th time I’ve bought this album and it’s worth every penny. I was hooked on The Hotelier (formerly the Hotel Year) the moment I heard this Album. It’s a must have for any fan of emo 🖤 “Among the Wildflowers” has sentimental value. The end of this track still makes me cry. I remember this album playing in the background on many sleepless nights spent talking to a dear friend of mine, who I will always miss terribly. “Chewing Wildflowers to Numb the Pain.” Dianna Slater
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
One of the Greatest Albums out there hands down. Always in my feels when listening to the lyricism and acoustics. Thank you Brendan, Jake, Ian, and Sean. kurbiifunne
