Motionless In White - Holding On To Smoke (Official Audio)

[@matthewkilpatrick73]

Basically it's about the inner struggle of being alive but not feeling like you are living , you are not wanting to commit but you are poisoned with depression. Even though you are depressed you try your best to stay positive but in reality you are barely holding on tired just always feeling like you are missing something. Hoping to find that thing you are missing but it's uncertain "holding on to smoke". Through it all fighting to tell yourself this isn't you.

[@andreasstephen2479]

I'm tired of feeling comatose I've lost the me that I loved most I'm barely holding onto smoke I'm barely holding on to smoke! I'm not addicted but I'm not clean Why do I do this to myself on repeat So disconnected from my own reality Am I man or machine If I give, will you take? As I lie for the taste I just fuck it up As you lap it up (Go!) Through flesh and bone I walk alone (Go!) If I run will I fade away 'Cause I don't wanna leave it behind In all my pride, all my shame I find strength enough to show you I may bend but I won't break 'Cause I define who I Define who I become I miss the me that I have not met Choking in silence on the words left unsaid I feel a sickness for a home I've never been And I exist in black and white but now I'm seeing red I built a shelter in complacency Locked myself in and set fire And threw away the key Too scared to live but I'm afraid to die So am I living or am I just alive? In all my pride, all my shame I find strength enough to show you I may bend but I won't break I define who I who I become 'Cause I'm tired of feeling comatose I've lost the me that I loved most I'm barely holding on to smoke But I'm holding on, I'm holding on Broken! I'm holding on Driven! To right the wrong Silent! Connected yet I feel so separated Fallen! Through flesh and bone Frozen! I stand alone Deafened! In silence the voice remains Behind my eyes, beneath my rage I was struggling to get through Out of time and out of faith I define who I become! In all my pride, all my shame I find strength enough to show you I may bend but I won't break 'Cause I define who I Define who I become 'Cause I'm tired of feeling comatose I've lost the me that I loved most I'm barely holding on to smoke But I'm holding on, I'm holding on I'm tired of being human, tired of being numb I'm waiting for the holy ghost to come So save me from the webs that I have spun I'm holding on, holding on I'm holding on Holding on to smoke!

Well. This is officially their best album. They finally did it. They finally found their sound.

[@wilsone100021]

RazorEdgeFrisbee YES! Unfortunately, it’s the same kids that think screaming means heavy. This album has something for everyone, all while maintaining their gothic, industrial signature sound. I personally believe that this album has the best instrumentation, lyrics, and production of any album. Each track encompasses a different sound which is so fucking impressive. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Creatures...but every song doesn’t differ much from the other. Chugs, screams, clean chorus, breakdowns, repeat. Bands need to evolve to stay relevant...and metalcore as a whole is a stale saturated genre. I feel like they’ve struggled to find their “sound” and they nailed it with this one...all while staying true to their roots unlike bands like Asking Alexandria. This album will propel them to the next level and long time fans should be so proud of these guys.
