about

A huge nod to Chris and Kelly in the ever amazing Hobson in the writing here. It was their voices I heard when writing this this as well as Chris's writing and playing style. Also a touch of Gallagher senior in the thinking here as well. Lyrically I'm still not sure what it's about other than the aftermath of a broken relationship, but there are some lines in here I'm really proud of.

lyrics

Fall low at the end of the show,
Dropped upon a sword that was yours but ended taken.
Free load, you gave your mind and your soul,
And everything got broken from the heart you left wide open.

Space and time; it may not heal but helps to cleanse the wounds
You went and heaped upon yourself.

Call out a cry in the dark
A hope against the rage of all the genies in the bottle
Let out, three wishes apart,
They turned the dreams you wanted into someone else’s nightmare.

Time and space; not always enough to numb the aches and pains
You went and heaped upon yourself.

Well I don’t know your face now, just your name,
Returns the memories time again,
There’s nothing left for you to take back
Take a bow and fade to black.

Let go, not a thing you can show;
You started off with little and you ended up with nothing.
Tales told, a fable of old,
A fantasy to spin around the years close to bedtime.

Night and day, will pass you by in circles time again,
A sentence you imposed upon yourself.

Well I don’t know your face now, just your name,
Returns the memories time again,
There’s nothing left for you to take back
Take a bow and fade to black.

Face stares back from pictures cracked
Memories fade but the feeling stays the same.

Well I don’t know your face now, just your name,
Returns the memories time again,
There’s nothing left for you to take back
Take a bow and fade to black.
