about

I originally created this track for the Cyberpunk 2077 Growl FM song contest. I didn't win, but I got an awesome song out of it and was finally able to finish this release.

It hearkens back to the subject matter of some of my earlier work: love lost.

lyrics

It's like a knife in my gut
It's like a gun to my head
I'd take a bullet for ya'
But I've never stuck out my neck

I watch you cry
What swims beneath the surface of your frosted-over eyes?
30,000 leagues below
In my mind I can't let go
But my voice said otherwise

I'd like to state for the record
My blood's all been rearranged
I wouldn't be surprised if the me you knew had gone and died
A switch just flipped in my brain

Now all the things that surround me
I see your face in them all
I killed your heart but your ghost still haunts me
Drowning me in alcohol

I watch you cry
What swims beneath the surface of your frosted-over eyes?
30,000 leagues below
In my mind I can't let go
But my voice said otherwise

Why won't this die
The love is frozen over but my heart's still stuck inside
Strangles all my arteries
All that's left is artistry
'Cause my voice said otherwise
