I see how sax is slowly getting to metal. And I am fucking glad.

[Stalemate-rfpn]

I legitimately think songs like this are made for people that bottle everything up and need a song to let out a couple months worth of depression. When he said “It’s eating me alive”, I literally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

[camilocamacho]

The perfect song for a Lonely night and lonely man!! Such a beautiful song!!

[FlawlessRhythmGG]

A year and 3 days later and I still listen everyday.

[zacharymiller]

I never know how to shorten the distance between my heart and my head.

[ReneZZ]

This song makes me want to leave my house and hug the first person I bump into

[D-Rguitar]

Sax solo!! Ohh my god, I love this band. Best metalcore band out there I'd say!

[TheAmpleEdits]

LYRICS


I'm trying to survive these strange days,
This life can be such an adventure.
The world stands before my eyes wilder than it has ever been.

I forgot these old memories of youth that were caught right under the surface,
Forgot these souvenirs of you that were calling back the pain,

I never felt happy somehow,
But I'm trying,
I'm trying the best I can.
I really wanna feel happy sometimes,
Really wanna know where the lights are,
But it only feels so wrong.
It's eating me alive.

I never know how to shorten the distance
Between my heart and my head,
'Cause through my eyes, the days are monochrome.
I wanna feel the light of a new day,
But I'm so scared of it all...
I'm scared this utter joy ain't lasting forever.
It's eating me alive.

I never felt happy somehow,
But I'm trying,
I'm trying the best I can.
I really wanna feel happy sometimes,
Really wanna know where the lights are,
But it only feels so wrong.
It's eating me alive.

I'm trying to survive my feelings.
The joy is the ghost of a wanderer,
Lost somewhere outside of here
Counting every hour.
Report a problem

[alcionefrancioli]

This song is soft and gentle and yet it hits hard every single time...

[_spanty]

im still here guys... and im still in love like its day one. old novelists for life

[chaosdreams]

This band deserves the name they've chosen. Well done, the growth from the previous album is fantastic.

[ACRAZEDWAFFLE]

Something about this song just makes me feel so alive. Like I’m able to open my hypothetical wings and fly high like we’re all meant to. The power of the mind is amazing. The power of music bridges that gap for some that can’t connect to the mind. For that, thank you Novelists, for creating such a beautiful peace of art that I will listen to for years to come. Much love.

[Shashwat]

Genius decision to have sax in this one! Very soulful

[Fluffyfairy]

I first listened to this when I was 19. I was feeling the first feelings of freedom nd I was so happy in life. I knew all the lyrics but never really knew the meaning. Now at almost 25 years old I'm here again and I decided to read the lyrics and I burst out crying. I've been going through on and off depression since 2020 and its so strange how you hear a song in differently and finally understand it when your life changes...

[deans-rewind]

The addition of the saxophone makes the song sound fucking gold.

[ABurdenedBeast]

Between the Vocals and the Guitar something just hits you right in that place!

[madlad]

i will forever and ever come back here to remind myself of the real novelists <3

[Imsuper]

The chorus of this song is next level...hits home every time

[_ninocan]

Literally one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard.
