    LYRICS
    Sickle Sickle, set me aside
    Burn the bridge, no mercy tonight as they run
    To retrograde love
    And I know the spectre is calling
    Mountains are falling below into replication
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won’t survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    These silhouettes will drive me crazy
    Brittle sparrow, pale by design
    Delicate they corner my mind
    Feel them run, I’m feeling them run
    Precious is the retrograde in power
    With no emotion
    It brings devotion and starts to fade
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won’t survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    (I could be one o
    f them)
    These silhouettes will make me contemplate
    (I grip to relevance)
    Will I fit or will I fade away?
    (I could be one of them)
    Burning bridges as devotions fade
    (I grip to relevance)
    Irrelevance is eminent
    I could be one of them

    "Halcyon"
    Sickle, sickle, set me aside
    Burn the bridge, no mercy tonight as they run
    To retrograde love
    And I know the spectre is calling
    Mountains are falling below into replication
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won't survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    These silhouettes will drive me crazy
    Brittle sparrow, pale by design
    Delicate, they corner my mind
    Feel them run, I'm feeling them run
    Precious is the retrograde in power
    With no emotion
    It brings devotion and starts to fade
    And I lay to waste my life
    Halcyon days and nights
    So I could be one of them
    I could be one of them
    Promises buried twice
    Down where they won't survive
    So I could be one of them
    Gripping to relevance
    (I could be one of them) These silhouettes will make me contemplate
    (I grip to relevance) Will I fit or will I fade away?
    (I could be one of them) Burning bridges as devotions fade
    (I grip to relevance) Irrelevance is imminent
    I could be one of them

    I am not a fan of metal with screams... but Spiritbox is on another level here, being at the same time so soft and gentle and deliciously agressive.
    I stumbled across them on youtube, and a few minutes later searched for the vinyl record, that I preorered back in May.
    Just received it!
    The music is incredible, but the physical vinyl record is amazing too, really gorgeous.

      I have a friend just like you that isn't a huge fan of metal with screams, but he really liked Periphery! To name a few of my favourite tracks of theirs that don't have any or many screams - It's Only Smiles, Lune, Garden In The Bones, Erised, Have A Blast, Froggin Bullfish, Remain Indoors, 22 Faces, Prayer Position. Like Ryan said, the more you listen to it, the more you'll like it ;) Just a matter of finding the accessible songs.
