The fourth and final single from An Earnest Youth EP.
Written originally in 2003. Various demos recorded in 2006. Redone in 2022.
Very special thanks to Steve Maule for letting me borrow his bass after mine broke. Very special thanks to Ryan Rowland for his continued guidance and support.
lyrics
Gone the echoes of a burning scene
Seen on everyone’s screen
My mind’s not inside of me
It’s wandering aimlessly
Through the decadence of this ache
They’re cleaning the blood
off these stability streets
Doing all they can to till the soul from you
A future deserted
It’s hell left inverted
Lost forever in the wake
And I am falling, I could die, but I believe
Everything I know is you,
Don’t fall into the lie without me
If I could take back anything
I would never open my eyes again
Pull me away
Pull me away from here
Dead the glitch before the curtains close
And kill the lights backstage
Chaos is afterglow
And it’s all I’ll ever know
And it’s all I’ll ever take
We were realized like mist on skin
Rising like fog in rain
Like I felt every time I fell for
The void we’re carrying
Only here
Only now
