📓 Linger Lyrics:
I don't want to hear
I don't want to see
All truths forgotten
Replaced by confusion
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
I don't want to feel
I don’t know what’s real
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
The burden instilled in us all
Consumed by tainted truths
What do you require of me?
I feel the pain become me
It’s setting in, it hangs heavy
What is this feeling
Lingering in me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in
I feel the pain become me
Eyes forced open
And I ache
Starved of hope
Await to surrender

@@thecauldronofdarkness1757 Best way I can describe newer HLB is just “overwhelming”. The new singles have an uncanny ability to completely overwhelm your emotional receptors and leave you awestruck because you don’t really know what to feel. Fantastic for the length of an album, but not something the average person could listen to constsntly.

I'm so sorry for your loss omg( I can say that I have clinical depression actually but idkw after both Instill and Linger I felt like wow I wanna live fuck that depression. So this is what makes thall so special I guess. Because it has such a crazy amount of powerfulness in just one song that it just absorbs everything we feel, it dominates upon our feelings. What an unimaginable ability, holy shit...
