Hope died in front of us
Capsized and rudderless
I gave up on myself
And, in the rubble, I
Saw myself in a different light.
It changed everything.
Sever the parts of my soul I’ve infected with poisonous cells
Or pass the elastic and rope. With a dull pair of Scissors, I’ll cut it by myself
A sacrifice for a resurrection.
Make me better again.
All these mirrors for self-reflection
I’m growing sick of the sight of myself.
Sever the parts of my soul I’ve infected with poisonous cells
Or pass the elastic and rope. With a dull pair of Scissors, I’ll cut it by myself
Weapons of glass and steel
Towering over me
I’m desperate to be seen,
I’m petrified of being perceived.
Cut the glut from off my flesh
I don’t need the excess
I’m sick of myself, I’m sick of myself, I’m sick of myself
Sever the parts of my soul I’ve infected with poisonous cells
Or pass the elastic and rope. With a dull pair of Scissors, I’ll cut. Cut it.
Sever the parts of myself I let fester, and turn into hell
Numb and anaesthetised, wrap me in stitches. I’ll cut it by myself.
Weapons of glass and steel
Towering over me
I’m desperate to be seen,
I’m petrified of being perceived

Vocals just amazing
💛💛💛
Any other drummers out there getting aroused by that snare roll at 1:20
Such a great song. Catchy as fuck and sad lol
Just like those young Emos from 2000s have witnessed a legendary album Discovering the Waterfront, I have witnessed a legendary album The Noble Art of Self Destruction during 2020s!
alright, this one might just be my favourite from the album. it has everything i want from HA. false dawn is amazing and honey moon might just be the most beautiful song i've ever heard, but this one just ticks all the boxes. it's beautiful, it's experimental, it's surprising, it's groovy, it has those amazing screams… i just… WOW.
❤❤❤
Weird as a Korn fan, I could feel a very JD vibe from Lucas in this one, dark overtone in this song resonated that feel for me. I have to say this is the deepest iv felt from lucas in probably any song thus far.
One more day!
So fireeee
This song connected with me on a deep level. It's comforting and so unbelievably sad at the same time. Made me cry.
They always smash it with the deep lyrics!
BBC one played you guys tonight, really nice to listen to.
The song writing on this is fucking excellent
Muy muy muy buena
Nice
I miss when this band wrote deep artsy atmospheric music. They've just been so unimpressive after all the lineup changes. Still a talented group but so far removed from when they wrote singles and actually time to write them.
Lucas going hard with the metal vocals, love to see it.
Congrats !!!!
Phenomenal
so good!
Holding Absence
The mix sounds…. interesting I can't tell if I like it or hate it
Good song!
Vocals reminds me of Nomoreroses or To Fall Asleep. Nice amount of sing-screaming. That ending too, nice transition into Honey Moon
Fantastic emo song ❤ great job lads!
feeling a bit heavy huh
Every song is such a deep experience. I'm so excited to hear them all together on that album. There just is no better band 💙💛
YESSSSSS finally some scream from Lucasssss
I cannot wait to hear Lucas sing scream more
Ash, Scott, Ben & Lucas has done amazing work on this one.
It's Holding Absence with some extra hot spice (heavier parts), and it suits the song
HA
TNOSD
🤍
sir yes sir
