about

This track was co-written with our dear friend as a reaction to one of the deepest forms of relational betrayal. It exposes the pain of loving someone whose truth is hidden behind a mask, where lies persist and love is only ever skin deep, easy to anger, punitive rather than caring and easily discarded.

lyrics

I waited for thunder
For a battle
Or even a blister

But in the end the light died
With the weight of
The weight of a whisper

Where's the fire?
The snapping of twigs?
The howling at the sky?
The river was deep
The fall so steep
An echo lost in a lie

Sun catching silence
No dread
No fear of danger

An empty room,
Forgotten breath
The whisper of a stranger

I waited for thunder
For a battle
Or even a blister

Where's the fire?
The snapping of twigs?
The howling at the sky?
The river was deep
The fall so steep
An echo lost in a lie

I waited for thunder
For a battle
Or even a blister
