This is the second track off our new EP Survival Songs. Coming out this summer on Start a Fire Records

lyrics

How long has it been since you’ve trusted the dark and when was it broken?
By a leering face? By a jeering voice?
Please Please Please just let me go outside and feel something other than fear.
The specters and warning, the silence in the air and the blue lights that never helped.
Was it cutting words? Did your shadow blur?
The punches and kicks, the twitches and ticks.
Is it too much to ask to be able to take this back?
We are taught to be afraid but I want you to have a dark night with no one in it and a walk alone without the fear of ghosts.
Who took the night away?
And every night do you see his face, when you open the door or when you look over your shoulder.
I’m sorry for my brothers because we didn’t get to them quick enough to teach them any other way to act.
