dead weight

mehmetk Just a perfect blend of everything worthwhile in extreme metal. I don't even normally go for supercompressed "djent-y" stuff, but Miira makes it work so well, mashing up death metal, grindcore and deathcore like it's no big deal. Excellent.

erintaylorpace There's no one making metal like Miira. The heaviest project from the entire state of North Carolina exists in the confines of this woman's house. I don't really know what else you need to read in order for you to stop and go ahead and delve into the rest of her discography.

about

i was going to call it Burden II but it has nothing to do with the original and also i resonated a lot more with this name

more on the way

i love you

--------------------------------------------

lyrics

i wish that i had your eyes
so i could see what you see in me
i wish that i could be present at all times
flickering in and out of my presence of mind
it would be nice i had another chance
starting over at square one
a little less fucked this time
i'm sick of this shit
i'm sick of making excuses for myself
i want to be there for you
i just want you to know that i love you

over and over repeating in my head
the frustration i sense in you
when i can't wake up
when i can't take a shower
when i just can't smile
when i can't take care of myself
fuck

why in the fuck would i ever want to burden someone else
with the shit that i have in my head?
why do people i don't even know
want to listen to the songs that i make about being alone?
why should anyone fucking support me?
why would anyone give a shit about me?
me?
me?

the view from here is a brick fucking wall
i keep smashing myself against it
my knuckles bleed and deform
the view outside is a black hole
i continue to push but i never get any further

my malnourished frame continues to wither
as time slips through my fingers
and i continue to achieve nothing that i had planned
soon enough i will be nothing but another statistic

bleed

i wish that i had your eyes
so i could see what you see in me
when i sleep 14 hours a week
when i forget to eat
when i can't just fake smile
when i fucking give up
