LYRICS

In the throes of boredom
We were lost
And together we began to fall

In the years that followed
We grew numb
And together we began to fall

If only I could lose you
If only I could look away
If only I could lose you
If only I could look away

With the wheels in motion
It was plain to see
Another kill from orbit
Another vein to bleed

I've been taking what they're giving
Sins go unforgiven
Giants standing on the small

Having thoughts but never thinking
Truth losing its meaning
History deleting
Narrative bought and sold

If only I could lose you
If only I could look away
If only I could lose you
But its never enough until I lose my faith
If only I could lose you
If only I could look away
If only I could lose you
Together into the flames

BABE WAKE UP NEW BATTLE TAPES SONG JUST DROPPED

[Eros_Devotion]

Battle Tapesガチ好きっす
これからも色々頑張ってください！
I'm Japanese high school student and I usually listen your songs in commute time.
It's difficult to comprehend the lyrics perfect because I'm studying English, but I love your song so much!!

[SmokeyMcPotProductions]

I can’t begin to put into words how stoked I am to see new material from you guys. Classic Battle Tapes sound, sick visuals, and a new record coming? What more could I ask for…?

[KarlisMcBadass]

Even after 2 years of listening to this specific song since release. It is still such a masterpiece to just bring out such emotions in me every time I listen to this.

[klown]

My autistic brain finds it a comforting tradition to listen to you guys in the summer months. You have no idea how satisfying it is to have this new song in the summer.

[Krillington]

I can't believe it's been 3 years. Like, half the amount of time I've been listening to you guys. Well worth it for a new banger. It's unique but still has that distinct Battle Tapes sound. I fucking love it!

[vialoftoxin]

Yes, the instruments and everything is outstanding, but *I live for your lyrics.*

[KnightofZyryab]

One of the hidden gems of the music world, love it all.

[svenpearson]

Legitimately stayed up late just for this. 10000% worth it

[CRTsCRTs]

Lol Are the thumbnails part of an April Fools joke?

[TomNicholson]

Bring this shit to the UK. Would love to see you guys live...

[jasonmateus]

First time I heard this banger was in the TGV train in France going 180mph. The best train trip of my life.

[skullkssounds]

Battle Tapes is the definition of underrated

[SILENCELIBERAL]

The "I QUIT" on the thumbnail is actually supremely funny

[jimmyjohnnsen]

The first band i dared to call my favorite band of all time.

[Mad.Maxx.]

Damn, how the hell did I miss this for almost 2 years??? Bangin' song, BT!! I've been addicted to your music since I heard it on the first episode of Lucifer.

[TheTinkerThomas]

hell my guys are back!! I hope one day you tour UK, would love nothing more to see you guys live. much love from Manchester <3

[Gregnier]

And this is going to be playing in my head all day just like the first time i heard Belgrade.

[Bennyspaceman]

I only started listening recently but I had assumed I wouldnt be hearing anything from you guys in a long time. I am SO happy to be proven wrong! I've been listening to all your music on loop for the past 6 or so months lmao

[forrestwentworthii]

Woah - I sat down to do some work, but I just lost 4 minutes of time because this song is that awesome. It's like magic.
