Where do I begin to convince myself that this road that I've chosen is worth the price I pay to ride on?
You don't know me all.
This is the life that I've chosen and I'm not stopping for anyone.
I won't plant my feet in this garden you've laid out for me.
There's no fruit left to bare, when you've sewed these seeds.
I won't eat that poison, I've seen where that leads.
I could have walked away. I could have been somewhere else.
I could have gave up everything. I could have been someone else.
But this is where I'll stay. This is my life.
This is who I choose to be, and I won't let you chose for me.
A life worth living with passion as the fuel for continuing.
We won't settle for anything.
Is it worth the price I pay?
I don't need the glory, I don't want the luxuries I just need my friends and family pouring love into symphonies.
This is who I am.
This means everything to me.

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
