about

Short song, sad song. Originally wasn't going to be anything, but here we are.

lyrics

I am transported
I am in awe
August smoke
Turns me from present fog

Old sights seen
Tempering into shards
Remelt the wax
Sharp pain straight to the lungs

A shameful tear
I am going nowhere
React only to fear
Awareness, the knife to pierce

A useless body
Low frequencies lost
Pressure is building
Maintain the glaze with drops

Useless body
Cannot transpose these thoughts
Trying to step in
every direction at once

A shameful tear
How long will I sit here?
React only to fear
Awareness, the knife to pierce.
