We Came As Romans - What I Wished I Never Had Lyrics






Don't catch me at the wrong time
Or you will feel my wrath
The one I wished I never had (wished I never had)

I need to rid myself of resentment
And every last bit of it
If I'm going to live up to the things I've written
I need to clear my mind of this anger
And all the rage that I've held near
If I'm going to live up to the words I've spoken

BUT I haven't YET
Letting go
Is how I can start to fight my way
Out of this hole I've dug
In this war against myself (this war against myself)
But I haven't yet (but I haven't yet)

Don't catch me at the wrong time or you will feel my wrath
The one I wished I never had (wished I never had)
I wish I never had this demon inside
I wish I knew how to cast it out
I wish I never had this demon inside
I wish I knew how to cast it out

But I fear it will never leave me (but I fear it will never leave me)

I need to rid myself of resentment
And every last bit of it
If I'm going to live up to the things I've written
I need to clear my mind of this anger
And all the rage that I've held near
If I'm going to live up to the words I've spoken

Letting go, Just let it go
I know, I know [x4]

I know I need to let go
Of everything that has
Ever made me think myself better
I'm not better than anyone else
Of anything that's filled me with anger
That I have taken out on everyone else (on everyone else)

These demons will never leave me
I can only find ways to not let them out
These demons will never leave me
But I control them, not the other way around...

    "I know, I need to let go, of everything that's made me think of myself as better. I'm not better than anyone else".

    Only those who self hate could TRULY understand the power of that line, not "sympathize" with whoever says they feel that way.

    When you're in that state of mind, the hatred you feel towards yourself is different than the intense dislike you feel for others. You believe you have a sense of "enlightenment", or "higher knowledge" that's really just narcissistic traits in disguise. These feelings go to war with your pessimism, leaving you feeling better than everyone, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME feeling like you're the most worthless speck of human garbage. Both of these are amplified by your depression that's behind it all, resulting in what's known as Bipolar Disorder, or in extreme cases, Borderline/Split Personality Disorder.

    B.... G....

    Brandon Gravitt sometimes it’s because of how your raised. I was raised by a narcissistic bipolar alcoholic pill popping mother who projected her self hatred, loathing, and general skewed perception of the world. I grew up feeling like there was something wrong with me when it was just my environment. I’m glad I went through that because it makes me determined to make myself better and think more logically in a situation before trying to let my emotions run rampant. Music helps a lot lol

  29. C.... T....

    What this song is saying> what everyone is posting.

  30. D.... ....

    Like,Like,Like,Like,Like !

  31. J.... C....

    The vocals are so unique in this band....both vocalist! I love it

  32. A.... E....

    Really good band but why the fuck are they signed to nuclear blast?? They should go to like Sumerian or fearless

  33. R.... C....

    Amazing band love we came a Romans wish they would make another album :(

  34. M.... M....

    And c'mon don't tell me 3:17 doesn't sound sick as fuck.

  35. M.... M....

    I like both. But I prefer post-hardcore. Why? Because variety. NO I'm not talking about RiseRecord bands, I'm talking about good ol bands before they was signed. Like Memphis may fire, dream on, dreamer ETC.

  36. R.... S....

    God I love the guitar in this song, all of them the backgrounds and ugh:) lol

  37. J.... a....

    you guys sound great! and have some amazing cover artwork!
    keep up!

  38. F.... ....

    @iheartmetalcoreful you made that account name just to make that comment? Hsksiwbdjsjedjsoaiwbd...

  39. J.... W....

    @educoehua dude settle you tampons! Go drink your haterade somewhere else!

  40. M.... K....

    @educoehua Truthfuly.. they are heavey, nomatter what you say a breakdown is a break down. Music is still music, and your just an angry shit head because your music isn't as popular as Post hardcore shit. Music evolves bitch, get with the program. Or get the fuck over it.

  41. S.... ....

    Music was ok, but I thought the lyrics were horrible and very childish with minimal thought put into them.

  42. A.... ....

    @unknownnfazha yeah because you can understand the lyrics behind all the distortion and growling. AMIRITE?

  43. K.... ....

    on a completely different note, the layered guitar work in this song is amazingly epic

  44. K.... ....

    @AngryKhan not necessarily true, like any form of music, every part of a song plays its part, the best music utilizes vocals and lyrics as an instrument, because vocals without good lyrics end up lacking, at least, that is my opinion

  45. J.... P....

    I saw them Tuesday 9-13. If you guys are seeing them live, you are seriously going to a really good concert. They get better everytime I see them. And plus Of Mice And Men are with them :D :D

  46. H.... H....

    I can't believe some of you stupid people... we came as romans is my favorite band of all time.. but thats beside the point. I HATE to see people who don't prefer a certain genre or band go out and beat it down. some people like country music or classical church music. I don't necessarily prefer that, but that doesn't mean I should curse at them and shoot down what they love.. in case you haven't noticed, people are different. if you think you have the right to beat down other people's music th

  47. O.... ....

    I quite enjoyed the music. I did not enjoy the comments.

  48. L.... C....

    @saruda655 Totally get it.
    If you don't want to listen to those sort of vocals, don't listen to WCAR. Many people (the majority infact), would much rather not listen to unclean vocals, yet they don't receive that sort of hate.
    These guys have musical talent. Whatever effects are put on Kyle's voice are just that, effects. Hardly different to EQ, Compression, Reverb or limiting. It makes a specific sound that they like to have in their music.
    Good on them for trying something different WCAR!!!

  49. n.... ....

    @educoehua XD. bad case of rage you have there, go crawl back in whatever hole you crawled out of.

  50. F.... ....

    @46Godshred Aww Did Your Mommy Write That For Ya?

  51. L.... M....

    I hate We came as Romans. In my opinion the singer of the clean vocals destroys their music. His vocals doesnt fit with the other instruments. They need a singer with more power in his voice. This sounds only like shit!

  52. p.... ....

    Just because WCAR doesn't quite fit in the metal sub-genre as most bands on Nuclear Blast, doesn't mean they aren't good. WCAR is one of my favourite bands! If only they would come to South Africa!

  53. R.... T....

    0:32 there is "every last bit of it " but he says "every last bit of this "

  54. B.... ....

    No one commenting on this box has a band as hood of equivalent to this band do don't shit talk and shut the fuck up!

  55. K.... A....

    These guys make me proud to be from Michigan! They're so fucking awesome, especially live. <3

  56. A.... ....

    @666x666Slipknotx umad.jpg

  57. A.... Z....

    @AngryKhan
    Lol and you made me laugh cause im not a typical "maggot" or whatever that doesn't know shit about metal, i wouldn't even call myself one anymore cause i don't even listen to them so....and what about you? your probably a scene kid listening to gay ass shit like AA

  58. A.... ....

    @666x666Slipknotx your name mentioned with those names made me /lol

  59. F.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta I Call it Shit. Same Ole Same Ole Bullshit Metalcore. Just A Shit Load Riffs Piled Up In One Shit Song. Metalcore Is A Pile Of Shit.

  60. S.... ....

    Did they recently get signed to nuclear blast? Arent they signed with Equal Vision Records?

  61. V.... B....

    does it really matter what record label a band is signed too its a good song, good band and great record label just accept it

  62. A.... Z....

    wtf? how is this band signed with kick ass bands like fleshgod apocalypse and decapitated? -.-

  63. s.... ....

    How is a gay band like blink-182 in the suggestions sidebar, god damnet youtube no one wants to hear that washed up punk band

  64. S.... K....

    @CrownLazerz it didn't use to be

  65. T.... ....

    Cliche and predictable modern / melodic metalcore / post-hardcore.

  66. D.... ....

    Not my type of metal, but not a bad song. Deserves more likes. Just because the lyrics are a little questionable doesn't mean it deserves all the bad rep it's getting.

  67. J.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta I agree. There is absolutely nothing emo about this.

  68. J.... K....

    if the clean vocals were more natural sounding it would be better

  69. S.... ....

    It's melodic hardcore. Yes it's surprising to see it on Nuclear Blast. I normally like death/black/progressive metal but this is pretty good. Now shut the fuck up.

  70. A.... ....

    @kcikdubb if its about the lyrics then theres no reason to listen to metal, acapella would suffice.

  71. A.... A....

    @AngryKhan The fuck? It's ALL about the lyrics, shut up and enjoy the music.

  72. E.... ....

    @AngryKhan

    U MAD?

  73. D.... ....

    @Karelyo yeah I personally think it takes away any power they have left...

  74. t.... ....

    @iop4lyfe see i agree that they have a ton of potential. i also agree this album is mixed badly, guitars all the way down in volume, its all drums and vocals (and im a drummer i still think their up to high). But if their guitarists got considerably better and actually started constructing some riffs id probably really like this band,

  75. A.... ....

    @unknownnfazha metal isnt about lyrics

  76. K.... ....

    nuclear blast has a large collection of quality bands surprisingly, my only issue with this song is it is very simplistic in the lyrics, lacking in the poet draw, but the sound is incredible (yes, good lyrics, I just prefer slightly more poetic in styling)

  77. h.... c....

    WCAR has so much potential but they need to get a different producer/label quickly or they are gonna fall too fast to get up

  78. K.... K....

    I really like screaming vocals, but not the clean ones.

  79. b.... ....

    too bad they signed with a label, whose fans are mostly wanna be bad boys acting all hard

  80. J.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta *looks at profile* Oh, you're 16. That explains everything. I'm not going to waste my time on you until you grow up.

  81. J.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta You're a little daft, aren't you? I love clean vocals in metal, especially when they're done right. The vocals used in this song are the high pitched emo shit found in every other mallcore band. You are the one that needs to grow up kid. I know plenty about music and I am not stereotyping when I say that I hate this kind of music. I am stating a genre that I can't stand and you emo shits can't handle it for whatever reason.

  82. S.... T....

    Still think this bands sucks. What were NB thinking?
    Signing Tasters was bad enough, but this?

  83. S.... T....

    @SeandaHamsta First "your" should be "you're".
    Stop flunking English.

  84. J.... N....

    FUCKING ADDICTING!!!

  85. T.... ....

    i dont think they re emo but the clear vocal parts dont fits good the angry before : /

  86. R.... ....

    I know for a fact, after i close this video, it will be the last time i hear this bland, tasteless, un-original "Music" ever again ^.^

  87. R.... ....

    Sc-Sc-SCRRRRRREEEEMO!

  88. x.... X....

    @Robster881 I dont care where thei're as long as they keep on making great music !

  89. J.... ....

    @ahcunderoath Screamo is just a subgenre if this band. I'm not gonna go poison my ears with with that disgusting band you suggested I listen to.

  90. a.... ....

    Good music but surprised that Nuclear Blast signed em. Seem more like a Relapse group.

  91. T.... ....

    It sounds alright. I don't get why people are crying that this isn't real Metal and it's killing real Metal etc. Sure this isn't the "real Metal" that we are all use to like Slayer, Pantera, Cannibal Corpse etc etc but this isn't replacing the good old Metal bands and more traditional Metal. Just think of it as bringing more people into the Metal genre as a whole.

  92. a.... ....

    @oblivionspawn7 lawl. Music nub xD your ignorance amuses me. This is most certainly not screamo. Go try Alesana if you want screamo.

  93. R.... ....

    @ReprogrammedToHate educate my self? Out of all the people on this page hating on the band you decide to call me out as the bigot? The hell?

  94. J.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta What the hell are you talking bout? The vocal style used in the chorus is so emo I felt like whining myself to sleep and straightening my hair all day.

  95. J.... ....

    @SeandaHamsta The chorus is as emo as it can get. Hence the term, "screamo."

  96. R.... ....

    HATERS GONNA HATE!!!!!!! HAHA! If you don't like it, don't listen to it, isn't easy!?. This is far far far away from the typical mainstream garbage stuff. Everyone has diverse taste of music. don't hate.

  97. R.... ....

    @Robster881 It's all about variety. educate yourself.

  98. p.... ....

    props to nuclear blast for adapting to the industry, i guess appealing to teenage girls is where the money is?

  99. J.... L....

    you have know idea what this means 2 me...
