The Amity Affliction has released a brand new song called “Give Up the Ghost.” Frontman Joel Birch said of the song:
“It turns out everything is faster and yet we have the same level of attention to detail we’ve always had on our records. The lyrics were already written, and Ahren had a chorus melody on another demo that worked for this song so it all came together quickly which was cool. Banging out a song on a whim in a day isn’t something we’ve done before, so it felt pretty good.”
There are UNCONFIRMED reports on Reddit that this song will appear on a forthcoming EP called Somewhere Beyond the Blue with an expected release date of December 14th. Those reports have NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. Once we have confirmation, we’ll let you know.
“Give Up The Ghost” lyrics
Bury me endlessly
Bury me endless sleep
Are we living if we’re not on the edge
Are we living with our mind in the precipice
Am I living if I just wanna pull the plug
Am I living if I don’t even want to wake up
I’ve had enough had enough
I don’t ever want to wake up
Some nights I want to give up the ghost
I keep taking medication but
The apathy grows
Some days I want to throw in the towel
I got no one in my corner
Will I ever get out
Bury me endlessly
Bury me endless sleep
I am the loneliness now
I am grim and devout
To my depression
There’s no lesson
That I won’t live without
You can try to impose on me
The shit you know –
All of it now hopefully
I gave up the ghost
So endlessly bury me
