lyrics

You made me do it. Say it isn’t fair. Tonight’s the night to pay for your mistakes for a change. Set it up so I can take your breath away. Don’t believe you’ll have a need for it where you’ll be. Follow these last words I say to you. You’ll feel so alive for the last time. They’ll know your name and see your face in all the headlines, top of the front page, and all the street signs. Trying hard to just to forget, but I know that you are dead, down in the basement next to all the time that I had wasted. You twist and tremble. Don’t make this just like pulling teeth. Get used to the taste of the salt between your cheek. You’ll be a dead weight sinking so deep into the cold sea. As you choke on the water in your lungs, wash away like a sigh of god. The attention you crave is coming soon, like a cinematic showing of how we’ll never see you again.

Holon : Hiberno
by The Hirsch Effekt

supported by 45 fans who also own “Dead Weight”

Listening to this album takes me on an emotional journey. It's poetic, it's tragic, it's utterly beautiful and hurtful alike. Vituperator, Zoetrop and Hiberno are among the best The Hirsch Effekt songs in my humble opinion. A must-buy if you're into chaotic, exceptionally well executed music. An absolutely stunning debut.
