lyrics

VERSE 1
-----------
The clock is ticking so damn loud
Counting down the remainder of the day
Is it morning, noon or evening’s purple light?
It’s difficult for me to say


PRE-CHORUS 1
------------------
When the rooms are merely echoes
And the shadows all are mine
I sometimes stare into the distance
Coming back to only find


CHORUS 1
------------
Isolation
Is the way I have become
Isolation
An empty space, nowhere to run
Now I’m listening to the walls, the voices in my head
Very much aware my end draws closer with every breath


VERSE 2
-----------
This all began so many months ago
The shift from out to in, pandemic paradigm
It was for our own good, we were told
None of us were bold enough to say,
Hey, maybe this will be the end of some of us in time


PRE-CHORUS 2
------------------
I miss the kiss of the wind and my grandson upon my cheek
The warmth of the sun, my beloved family
Though it is late summer I am freezing in my skin
There’s a quiet sadness growing over all I’ve been
It’s becoming harder to even stay awake
The days become a burden, memory an unkind fate


CHORUS 2
------------
In isolation
I am trying to survive
In isolation
It has been a languid dive
Mind has become a prison, schism, listen—can you hear them?
Ghosts entice to indecision—is it worth being alive?


VERSE 3
-----------
Clock is ticking, there’s so much I want to say
To the people I have loved and lost, the errors of my ways


OUTRO
----------------------------
But this machine is winding down
No more strength except to sleep
I spiral down into familiar, and find not a tear to weep
The stars stare down from pitch black skies
I close my eyes

Our debut album, PRAYER, is a sonic journey of personal and societal breakdown and rebirth. A story of the sacred and the profane, the mystical and concrete, our shadow and light.
