about

A songlet about getting the last word in and wishing you hadn't.
From our upcoming album, out sometime in 2022.

lyrics

I hurt someone I love
With just a word, it was enough
To hurt someone I love

I hurt someone I love
With just a word, it was enough
What was it worth, what did it cost,
Will you forgive me?

And now I live inside my thoughts
It feels a lot like being lost
No way to turn back, or to earn back
Your trust in who I was.

Maybe it's time,
Maybe it's age,
Maybe the things I want have changed

I want clean hands
I want clean hands
I want clean hands and a mind I can live in.

Flip the record,
Lift the leg up,
And set it spinning.
