#struggle well

Purge this poison from my veins. I’m calling them out. Every demon that I’ve faced, every devil that’s held me down. I'll spew you because I’m tired of being warm. And my home is not this storm. I’m through with you, no more darkness, no more shame. Turn on the lights, give you no place to remain. Your hold on me is no longer there. 'Have you forgotten that I dwell in the depths of your dark and filthy heart? I did not merely force my way in, I found an open door. I left and came back to discover your hollow veins, so I made my home. I know everything about you, I know everything about you. I know your secrets and the things you do when you think you're alone. I live in the shadows you create, you’ve made this place into my home.' I let them lead me to the slaughter. Step by step into this living hell. But as I cry out to my Father, my strength begins to swell.

finally have the time to listen to Mouth of the South's new full length release Struggle Well and I quite like it. there's lots of the usual metalcore stuff, which I like a lot. but there's also a good bit of spoken word in songs (which was a pleasant surprise) and there were a ton of very convicting and heavy lyrics. and not only were their words challenging and inspiring but very much rooted in scripture.
