about

I wrote this song almost a year ago. I struggled a lot with music making in the time between then and now. A lot of self-hate and perfectionism that really has been weighing on my mind these past few months. I decided I wanted to break that cycle and get something out. The mix is harsh because I want it to be. The playing is messy but that's fine. I don't need to be perfect if it means I'm going to hate making music and never get anything out into the world anymore. I'll improve with time, and that's all I can ask for. I'm happy with that.

lyrics

Behold the ruin of the smoke and char
Abandon all your hope to the overgrowth
Steady your hand, you know you won't get far
If all your memories fill with bodies they evoke
So go

When you looked up
The carbon pillars filled the sky
And now they rest
Abandoned and infested by
The kindred children, fallen ash
Broken glass and all your vain
Will you endure this pain?

Don't let your voice go quiet
Cry for me and you will see the light
And as the neon signs all flicker out
Will you stay awake?
What do you think is right?

Welcome home
It's been so long since I have seen the rubble
Welcome home
I'm standing tall and getting into trouble
Welcome home

A gunshot fires
The conscience falls into decay
And you look back
The creatures feed another day
Hide in the shadows
Feel the gallows of your mind begin to break
And fade reality

And as the flames go higher, higher
Will we sing for you tonight?
And as the bullet flies between my eyes
Will you have remorse?
Well go ahead and shoot

Welcome home
It's been so long since I have seen the rubble
Welcome home
I'm standing tall and getting into trouble
Welcome home

Seek me out
And you will find yourself
Broken and defeated by this place
You know that you never should return
But voices call to you from the places where they burn
