about

This is an amazing track that our guitarist, David Gaw, brought to the band. The song describes the eventual fall of a relationship.

lyrics

It wasn’t like you caught me off my guard
I thought I saw you in another dream
All your glances start to blend to one
Suspended in the in-between
They say the best is yet to come but
I have yet to see the sun

I feel the heaviness in the air
Pulse steady as I close my eyes
Staring at a distant piece of you
That stares back as if to ask me why
All the words inside my head
All the words were left unsaid

The window glass
Fractured and cracked

You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine

The rain is coming but I’ll take it now
The cool drops that fall upon my face
Scattered all those memories, I’d rather
Forget the steps that I retrace
Found away on another path
But I’m afraid I’ll find my way back to you

The window glass
Fractured and cracked

You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
You’re the calm before the storm (Calm before the storm)
You’re the places left behind
You’re somewhere far away (Somewhere far away)
So far from being mine
