about

The recording/release of the song coincided with our reunion show with Scary Kids Scaring Kids in 2010.

Fun fact no.1: We started recording an acoustic version of this & a couple other songs (Exit & Recover maybe? I can't remember) during a teaching session Chucky had set up with Mainz. We never finished them 😅

Fun Fact no.2: Apparently this song got airplay on 'Radio Control 99.4FM' (Massey University student radio) in Palmerston North on Wednesday July 20th 2022 at 2am (NZ time) when we weren't even an active band (Thanks guys!).

lyrics

LYRICS:
Broken, torn & broken
Washed ashore by the mouth of the sea
Watch me stumble, watch me be
Born dry by the air around me
Cuts, bruises, blood & bones
The mark of living
Broken, torn & broken
Close to the tones of liberty

I, I was estranged looking for clouded lights
But I fell in the arms of the ocean
Eyes trapped by the waves drowning in sleepless love
Now I'm under the sway

Drowning, I was drowning
In the walls of the house of my dreams
Calling outward, calling deep
That hole in the centre of me
Not lucid, screams implode
In waters rising
Drowning, I was drowning
But there was fight still left in me

I, I was estranged looking for clouded lights
But I fell in the arms of the ocean
Eyes trapped by the waves drowning in sleepless love
Now I'm under the sway

(Drowning under the weight of nothing)
You can breathe
You can breathe, open your eyes my heartbeat

You're my heart
(x2)

I, I was estranged looking for clouded lights
But I fell in the arms of the ocean
Eyes trapped by the waves drowning in sleepless love
Now I'm under the sway, under the sway
