about

The first single and track of our debut ep.

A dark, menacing, odd-rhythm song that dances to its own song. The lyrics and music focus on inner turmoil of conflicting thoughts and feelings and not being on the same page with yourself. It spirals into an “eye of the storm” moment of insanity before rising once more into a rejection of the imperfections and negativity inside oneself.

lyrics

Strap me down
Stitch me back together
I'm a broken glass
That shares the same reflection
But I'm somehow indistinct
Tear away
The parts that make me someone I'm
Not to be
To feel as though
I'm living,
Just living out of sync

Mentally divided, physically colliding
I'm always on my own
Physically divided, mentally colliding
I'm never on my own

You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be the same

Tear away
Take me back to someplace I
Shouldn't be
To feel as though I'm living is
All I have
And you won't tell me who I am
I said you won't tell me
Who I am

Mentally divided, physically colliding
I'm always on my own
Physically divided, mentally colliding
I'm never
on my own

You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be the same

You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be
The same
