about
"This song is about me calming myself down in difficult times. To feel, regroup, and reflect. If you need that right now, to feel it to embrace it and slowly heal, you can listen to this song and count to 10. You don't always have to be 'on', you are allowed to take time, to rest and come back feeling refreshed, better and stronger. I hope this song gives you pause, time to breathe."
lyrics
Try not to see red,
Count back from ten, until I land,
take a deep breath.
Leave your little lion's den.
no
I'm not going to throw stones
I'm not going to let go
of my veiled violence
How could you tell?
Was it the bottled-up smell?
Does it really show?
The thing that scares me most.
I won't (won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
I'm not going to let go
of my veiled violence
My mission to recognize,
tons and tons of liquid lies,
Takes me to the boiling point,
Take in everything, overflowed
But I won't (won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
No, I'm not going to let go
and vent my violence
no (no)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
I'm not going to explode
and vent my violence
Count back from ten, until you land.
Count back from ten, until I land,
take a deep breath.
Leave your little lion's den.
no
I'm not going to throw stones
I'm not going to let go
of my veiled violence
How could you tell?
Was it the bottled-up smell?
Does it really show?
The thing that scares me most.
I won't (won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
I'm not going to let go
of my veiled violence
My mission to recognize,
tons and tons of liquid lies,
Takes me to the boiling point,
Take in everything, overflowed
But I won't (won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
No, I'm not going to let go
and vent my violence
no (no)
I'm not going to throw stones (stones)
I'm not going to explode
and vent my violence
Count back from ten, until you land.

I haven't heard anything as just completely perfectly formed out of the gate--every decision the right one, what to include but more what to exclude--maybe ever. Don't know who Sault is, but they do not sound like they could be anyone who hasn't paid some dues to get this good. Or signed some Satanic contracts. 100% confidence, and it sounds 110% earned.
