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

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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
