Of Mice & Men - As We Suffocate Lyrics






You spend your life, trapped inside a machine,
Victimized, by the calamity.
You blur the lines, create your reality,
Swear you're awake, but you know you're asleep.

There's no rebuilding,
When the temple comes crashing down.
It's your burden to carry, and your back to break.

Hollow eyes staring as we suffocate.
We're drunk on death, and high on fire.
It's not enough to satiate,
Until the whole world burns away.

Detonate and prosper.
Corrode and bathe yourself in gold.
Throw away forever,
To become eternal.

Hollow eyes staring as we suffocate.
We're drunk on death, and high on fire.
It's not enough to satiate,
Until the whole world burns away.

Drunk on death, and high on fire.

    __,,,,_(' ' )_,,,,__

    O.... ....

    I'm with you!

  27. T.... W....

    Bullet for my valentine riff vibes 🤘

  28. R.... C....

    “’As We Suffocate’ coming directly after ‘Gravedancer’ was a very intentional placement - it’s a track that is not only a machine inching its way forward, but it’s also a commentary about those same self-destructive behaviours. The narrative comes from somebody with a different mindset though - they’re two sides of the same coin. ‘Gravedancer’ takes the opinion that self-destruction is just destined to happen, that you just keep shovelling your grave until it comes time to get in it, whereas ‘As We Suffocate’ is a commentary about the same situation, but it takes a stance of control rather than letting fate decide. It tackles the idea that we can change what happens, but also questions if we actually want to change at all.” - Aaron Pauley

    R.... C....

    Dude thank you for all these comments legend

    R.... C....

    this heavy metal Jack Black is more than a legend

    R.... C....

    dude lol each song i keep going through your comments make this album better and im on 2

  29. L.... I....

    Love this! Still a little sad about Austin leaving though.

    L.... I....

    It was for the better. For how good a vocalist Austin was he'd have never fit this style, we'd have got more Cold World esque material

  30. T.... C....

    Yeeeeeesssss!!!

  31. m.... ....

    That ambient guitar lead part reminds me of Farewell To Shady Glade.

  32. S.... 1....

    Aaron Pauley= Best OMaM vocalist! Been saying this shit for YEARS

    S.... 1....

    @SYTHEOPATH 1 Shayley did cleans, screams, bass, and guitar on the first album, and played bass and sang live. Aaron replaced him in the bass / singing roll after he had to leave for personal reasons. Look up Dayshell - Spellbound. Newest jam from Shayley's band. Heavy af and Shayley pretty much writes it all himself.

    S.... 1....

    @Happy Arnold oh really? I actualy didnt know that. Ya ive heard dayshells stuff. Even still tho ive always thought Aaron was the best vocalist in the band and I always wanted him to have a bigger or even lead role for the vocals and I'm so glad its all him now. Ive only really been able to call myslef a fan of this band once he took over vocals. I know thats an unpopular opinion. But I just prefer Aarons sound.

    S.... 1....

    @SYTHEOPATH 1 Oh don't get me wrong, I think Aaron's great and I was jamming Jamie's Elsewhere right along with you haha, I just think people largely forget about Shayley and all he did for the band. He's one of the main forces behind Self Titled and The Flood's sounds, and the song My Understandings on The Flood was like an opus magnum from the guy.

    S.... 1....

    @Happy Arnold ya i feel you

    S.... 1....

    @Happy Arnold yes!!

  33. A.... L....

    Best riff since Ben Threw 🤘

    A.... L....

    I can also hear the resemblance!

  34. C.... H....

    What?!?! New OM&M!!!!

  35. k.... ....

    Como siempre nunca desepcionando, para mí una de las mejores bandas del metalcore actual!!! OM&M

    k.... ....

    tu si. sabes eh

    k.... ....

    https://youtu.be/osjomwcT_XI les dejo la traducción

    k.... ....

    A mi no me gustaba esta banda hasta que el vocalista original se fue y el bajista pasó a ser el líder. Ahora suenan demasiado diferente pero definitivamente es algo favorable para mí.

  36. H.... ....

    @1:38 I was not expecting that shift. OM&M did it once again, nailed it.

    H.... ....

    Y'all are nuts. That was unexpectedly awesome. Mosh pit moment caught me off guard.

    H.... ....

    Jason LovesABR the fok🤷🏼‍♂️ i only moshpit breakdown like in the song « the mountain » i think of their new album

    H.... ....

    @Anthony Labonté I wasn’t expecting that quick shift @1:38. It was like boom, we’re gonna speed things up. Caught me off guard XD

    H.... ....

    HayesByeGrey oh i see! I agree🤘🏼

    H.... ....

    I wasnt expecting it either. I thought it was gonna go back to same riff from first verse but nope. Full on classic matelcore riff and verse and I love it

  37. M.... ....

    Of Killswitch & Engage

    M.... ....

    And some bullet for my valentine

    M.... ....

    Personally I heard more AILD than anything but fair point

    M.... ....

    😂😂😂😂

    M.... ....

    but this is better

    M.... ....

    You guys realize these guys have been around just as long as the others, correct?

  38. T.... K....

    Least favourite so far

    T.... K....

    @The Kim In The North It's so heavy though. You should see my reaction on Snapchat lol. Blew me away.

    T.... K....

    @Jason LovesABR you should join twitter 😏

    T.... K....

    @The Kim In The North No, I hate waste of a toxic site lol. I'm only on SC and Instagram.
