Single from our upcoming LP, "Letters from Home"

lyrics

A dissonance within me resonates inside my chest
Following the tempo set by this constant of a heartbeat
I whisper your name so often that it feels just like breathing
I swear I see your shadow walk alongside my own
Old friend of mine, I have something to confess

I’m not the man I thought I was
The man I thought I would be
Has not yet taken shape
I am a coward feigning bravery, this mask becomes my face
I was weak when you needed me for strength—when you needed me to keep you from the gun.
Sorry’s not enough, and I don’t think
that I can ask for your forgiveness

When we were kids we’d spend our days walking the town
I’d follow and you’d lead
Riverbeds and alleyways, where we chose to lay our heads
Concrete’s the perfect place for sleep.
Now every summer, I grow older,
Every winter growing colder.
Your name grows warmer with every breath I take

I don’t think I’ll ever understand
Why you put that gun in your hand
Or why you pulled the trigger

But I hope you found some peace
However far away you are from me
I won’t be discouraged by the distance
I think I’ll start to live again, and I won’t be alone
You’ll be safe within my thoughts
My memory—your home.
A melody within me resonates inside my chest
Following the tempo set by this constant of a heartbeat
When I sing your name I swear I’ll scream it loud.
A song made just for you.
Can you hear the
Sound?
