LAYERS, new single from "The Distance" coming out on March 4 2024!

lyrics

LAYERS

Protected by years of self-regeneration
Keep raising my walls no matter my condition
I see you from the tower
Sleeping at the border

Secure from the flames yet haunted by the cinders
The rivers will dry before my heart surrenders
A blessing and a burden
Tainted by the poison

Feeling the hallways growing cold
From all the grudges that I hold

JUST A SIMPLE STARE AND YOU WILL SEE ME SHINE AGAIN
DON’T LET ME FADE AWAY
SHOW ME THAT YOU CARE SO I CAN LET YOU IN AGAIN
UNTIL THEY FADE AWAY, MY LAYERS LEAD THE WAY

A decade of silence saw my memories disappear
Somehow the thunder never ever felt so near
It must be you glancing through the breach
Give me ‘til sundown then I’ll meet you in the clear

Leaving this fortress built on hate
Hoping to reach a better state

Here we are in this field of stone
Face to face and all alone
The walls I thought I had left behind
They follow me, they’re in my heart and in my mind

Heavy at the core, my soul can't take no more
Heavy at the core, I shut the door

JUST A SIMPLE STARE AND WE WILL NEVER SHINE AGAIN
WE FADED BACK TO GRAY
LESS THAN I CAN SHARE AND MORE THAN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
FOREVER HERE TO STAY, MY LAYERS LEAD THE WAY
