LYRICS
We set the world on fire with a touch. I never thought I could love too much.
The universe is teeming with life, but we have slipped free of its grip. There is nothing but us. We are alone. Struggling to survive when we are too far gone.
The future is useless. The past is a different existence.
We have given ourselves an eternity of nothing. Infinite stretching and arching to nowhere. We called, no one answered. Total fucking failures.
Obliterated; removed from existence.
Aggravated with the way that we’ve been living,
Concentrating on bringing about change.
Masturbating; we wiped away the human race.
We tried to claw up into heaven but we fell into hell.
Charade. You will feel no pain.
Extinct. Head back to a dreamless sleep.
Misery.

In my car going back :30 to hear it over and over and over again

Courtney LaPlante has become of my favourite female vocalists recently, for her to be part of this album. Perfection.

[@MightBeCale]

Related tangent, but Spiritbox is fucking incredible and everyone should go listen to them too.

[@TURTLZ18]

You can just call her a vocalist bro you don't need to make the distinction of female.

[@wrxhex]

I just wish it was kinda more really than like a soft outro cause I love everything she does so much. Was hoping for her to also bust out a scream at the end but it just faded out. Still was sweet nonetheless.

[@KevinQ25]

@@TURTLZ18 Why is that so bad? Female and male vocalists are different. Her singing voice imo cannot be compared to a male.

[@icommitdeicide5323]

@@TURTLZ18 Not many ladies out there doing harsh vocals in comparison to males sooo....

this is Breakfast, lunch, dinner ... this is a freakin Masterpiece

[@jacksonconstantine5740]

Courtney’s Outro is so hypnotic. Had this on repeat just listening to her part over and over.

[@luweewee]

There’s something about Vincent’s demolishing vocals and Courtney’s cleans that bring such a balance that makes me hope they work on more songs together.

[@ericwhatley5831]

Nothing Courtney Laplante is a part of is going to be short of amazing but her alongside The Acacia Strain you know it's going to be straight 🔥🔥🔥GS The Acacia Strain and Courtney Laplante

I'm presently on my girlfriend's phone and gotta say that I'm a huge fan of THE ACACIA STRAIN. Greetings guys from Pittsburgh Pa USA. I've personally seen THE ACACIA STRAIN 4 x's live. My favorite time was July 2017 in Connellsville Pa USA The Cinema Culture Killer, Knocked Loose, Oceano, and The Acacia Strain (headlined). I've also gave met members of The Acacia Strain + Vincent Bennett their at this show and THE SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR Cleveland Oh. USA The Agora Ballroom

I like the general vibe of this song.. and love courtney’s outro.. would have loved to of heard her more in this song.. but.. she does give it a nice little push at the end there!

[@anthony64930]

Propaganda or reality ?

[@markpizarro9324]

What a fuckin waste, such a great song but they wasted Courtney's potential big time. 40 seconds of her pretty much whispering at the end of the song when she has killer screamed vocals is a fuckin crime

[@adamlogan9500]

The 10 seconds of courtney was the only interesting part of the song. How many years can TAS keep writing the same song over and over again?

[@tbone8644]

literally none of their albums sound the same
