LYRICS:
Now I’m free, you goddamned leech
Fuck your pulpit, and fuck what you preach
You may have the world at your feet
But nothing in this life is concrete
You’re self indulgent at my expense
So let me give you my two cents
It must be nice, isn’t it?
Sitting in your castles dressed like kings
It must be nice in the end
To feel like the world’s beneath your feet
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
I’m losing my patience
Some people never learn
I’m losing my patience
So take your offers and let them fucking burn
Once respected, now just hated
This is the hell you created
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
The moss will grow on your goddamned gravestone
Because you’ll spend your last years alone
It’s not a burnt bridge, because you’re fucking broke
You offered the promised land,
but you’re a fucking joke
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away
So why don’t you say it? Say it
Your lies made us believers
Say it, say it
You looked away when we were
Living in the red, hanging by a thread
Say it, say it
Your lies made us believers
Fuck your pulpit and fuck what you preach

The classic metalcore sound the world has been missing is back and it sounds amazing. Feels like 2010-2014 again. Never cared much for Michaels screams because imo back then they didn’t sound special to me but now they sound amazing. Huge improvement. Much love dudes ❤️ Noooo I edited my comment and their heart got removed 😐

@@ThatKidBryan 2010-2014 I was in high school and that was the peak of metalcore to me also including 2009. Sorry you don’t like my opinion but I don’t really care for your gate keeping. If you actually read what I said you would know I said “it feels like 2010-2014 again”. So just keep it to yourself.

@@unholyghost96 Oof. The fact that you’re so defensive off rip speaks volumes about your personality. The irony of saying I’m “gate keeping” is delicious while you yourself seem to “gate keep” your entire opinion. My whole point is this. True metal core was in its prime from the early to mid 2000s. Record labels like Ferret, Trustkill, Solid State and Victory were the catalyst for everything out today. I think you have a different interpretation of what actual metal core is. Norma Jean, From Autumn to Ashes, Poison the Well are just a few of the true metal core bands. In closing, just because you know nothing about the scenes history doesn’t mean you can just discredit it because it was before your time, asshat.
Metalcore was missing this level of energy. Glad that they came back after a decade and still sound fresh.

Last song was good indeed but this one definitely is on the same level as the old stuff! 😍

the "ting ting ting" sound is very signature of woe is me....its good to hear you guys again....sounds fvcking nostalgic
I stopped listening to wim when Mike left this band I will now start again Really good song
This is shit is so fire I had to repeat it 3x to make sure I was hearing correctly.
Woe Is Me has returned.
This voices sending me to 2011... 😊 Miss that time... Happy that you again with us. One of my favourite bands ever. :)
Blegh!! "WE WILL LIVE FOREVER"... Chills
