about

The first single off of the EP!
A song about not wanting to see the truth and the perils of youth.

lyrics

Hold me, break me.
Solemnly pray for safety
In these old rags of mine.

Take my hand, hold my breath
It’s in my lungs, you’re in my head.
Now you’re in my bed.

I see you in shades which will run out.
The only thing you do is fill my doubts.¬

Fill my heart up with your gaze.
Make it start to forget all it needs.¬¬¬
Call me up and face the truth.
Coloured eyes, distorted youth.

Soaring weightless,
Searching for comfort in this,
Way beyond space and time.

Blurs awaken,
Filling my eyes, I’m shaken
No more by what has been

I see you in shades which will run out.
The only thing you do is fill my doubt.¬

Fill my heart up with your gaze.
Make it start to forget all it needs.¬¬¬
Call me up and face the truth.
Coloured eyes, distorted youth.
