A sense of vague uneasiness.
Like a circle spinning slightly off center.
All these ideas at a scale my mind just can’t comprehend.
Thoughts that are too heavy to float,
And in my head they slowly drown.
Feeling like all of the particles in my body,
Are disseminated across the entire universe.
While the mass of every star is compressed to a single point in my chest.
So say something beautiful,
In the end that’s all we have.
The more we realize,
The less that we understand.
So say something meaningful,
Even if it’s sad,
So I know I’m not alone,
And not the only one,
I don’t know how to describe what beauty is.
And I don’t know how colors, shapes, or sounds can create art,
Or a feeling so profound that it moves you as a person.
But I know know it when I see it.
I don’t know we’re meaning comes from,
Or how we attribute it to the various components of our lives
To make ourselves feel whole,
But I know it when I feel it in the pit of my stomach.
I know it when its there.
So say something beautiful,
In the end that’s all we have.
The more we realize,
The less we understand.
Breathing is hard enough.
Today is the hardest day.
Tell me I’m not alone,
That I’m not the only one.
We can look back in sadness, loss, remember the failures and struggles.
Or we can look back and choose to remember the beauty and the light.
In the face of that darkness thats inside of all of us,
It’s what we do that gives us our meaning.
It’s the things that we choose.
Our struggles, our addictions, our failures,
They are part of who we are.
The world may be awful and cold,
But it’s the only one we know.
So let it mean something to you.
Let it be something great.
Let it move you to tears.
Let it not feel so alone.
Say something beautiful,
In the end that’s all we have.
The more we realize,
The less we understand.
Breathing is hard enough.
Today is the hardest day.
Tell me I’m not alone,
That I’m not the only one.
Am I the only one?
Say something beautiful
Even if it’s sad,
So I know I’m not alone,
And not the only one.
Say something meaningful
Even if it’s sad,
So I know I’m not alone,
And not the only one.
Am I the only one?

Starting as the side project of Baltimore-raised brothers Justin and Matt Tracy, Roman Lions took shape after the brothers
relocated to California where they expanded their sound and their lineup.
Including former members of A Perfect Kiss, I Am Empire, and Octaves, Roman Lions combine the emotional intensity of screamo, the build-and-break grandeur of post-rock, and the heaviness of hardcore....more
Even if it sucked, we'd promote our friend's music. The good news is, this is one of the best albums in the genre. Emotive, melodic, well paced. Get into it. Roman Lions
supported by 9 fans who also own “A Voice to Raise or Ruin”
I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
Atmospheric black metal band Sadness and experimental screamo band To Be Gentle channel intense emotions on this split single. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 28, 2021
