LYRICS

I just want to feel right
Truth is that I’m broken
I’m all dried out just to wilt away
I’m bloody and I’m hungry
Maybe just forget me
I’m on my own I’m forsaken
Can’t keep going in circles when I’m feeling this lonely
You could go on without me
I’ve done my best to try and save my soul
If there’s a heaven then please take me there
I’m choking on the air again, just want to breathe it in
I don’t want to feel this way
The price is too high to pay
Wish I didn’t feel the pain
Stuck on the path I’ve paved
Can’t you take me to heaven I feel like I’m bathing in sin
I am feeling brittle
Scratches from a needle pulling at the seams of my skin
A million fucking people die of this disease
They all feel the way that I do
I’m falling
Cause I’m a broken man
Keep eating me alive
Cause I’m a hollow man with nothing left inside
If there’s a heaven then please take me there
I’m choking on the air again, just want to breathe it in
I don’t want to feel this way
The price is too high to pay
Wish I didn’t feel the pain
Stuck on the path I’ve paved
Can’t you take me to heaven I feel like I’m bathing in sin

Welp I just found my new obsession. Now I need to check out a live show and do 📷 and hang out.

[alt.bandau]

Massive appreciation for everyone who's checked this out! Much love alt. X

[Mutant_Wyvern]

Why is nobody talking about this band!!!

[wjveryzer]

these early 2000 nu metal chords are making me smile. LOVE the octave effect for that modern tone mixed in

[stephendavies]

Alt. Rules. Chasing safety is one of my fav songs... ever!

[callmemaybe]

This was stuck in my head all day, lol

[cideoen]

alt. continue to be one of the best finds in recent years for me. Had the pleasure of seeing them alongside Northlane and Sleep Token (my kings!) last year and was absolutely floored by how awesome they are. Also met some of the band during the show and they were super dope dudes!

[mickmullins]

This is actually killa...got a voice...got the tunes...only getting better and better. This is epic.

[pompa]

Saw these guys last night in Sydney, absolutely amazing and this song went HARD!

[JuanCruzFabi]

That guitar riff has some 2000 music vibes 💕

[shakefl]

Dude this is sick. How you go from that nasty guitar tone at the start to a soft flow without it feeling weird is tough to pull off. Awesome stuff.

[jackbird]

Very cool song. Sick mix of the electronic synth sounds. The middle breakdown does definitely remind me of 'The Remedy' by Polaris, either way, love the track x

[fredbarnes]

That's really nice. And by nice I don't mean what you say when you think it's just ok. It's well written and performed, it just happens to sound, well nice too

[crystalwriter]

Love! 🖤🖤🖤

A perfect sonic personification of depression and anxiety imo

[NewPlagues]

I need the album. Just give me the album please. Their EP was my most played in 2020 and it was up there in 2021 lol this band is so talented.

[John.Skelton]

HELL YEAH!!! THIS IS BADASS!!!
🤘💀🤘

[heliosd]

Man I love alt., The fact that Callan Orr is still active makes me happy. i miss Dream On, Dreamer. Please don't stop making music alt.

[quantummmmmmmm]

This band is so fucking underrated

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[brandonwells]

not feelin' the tambourine, but other than that, its a banger.
