about
With unflinching honesty, the track captures the grief of watching a loved one descend into addiction and the inescapable feeling of being bound to them through their cycles of relapse and self-destruction. This visceral indie rock single, infused with layers of grunge, evokes the painful reality of witnessing someone fade away as they lose their grip on life.
lyrics
Body suffer from the unseen
Girl was raped when she was sixteen
Memories of the obscene
One way out, baby upstream
Drag your bones on the concrete
Bind your body to the back seat
Bit your tongue and you can’t speak
Dizzy mind say you can’t see
She said
Leave me behind I’m a dead weight
Alone in your mind when the light breaks
Leave me behind I’m a dead weight
Alone in your mind when the light breaks
Girl was raped when she was sixteen
Say you’re done and you want to leave
Mother does only beg and plead
Try to hold you and you just bleed
Girl was raped when she was sixteen
Memories of the obscene
One way out, baby upstream
Drag your bones on the concrete
Bind your body to the back seat
Bit your tongue and you can’t speak
Dizzy mind say you can’t see
She said
Leave me behind I’m a dead weight
Alone in your mind when the light breaks
Leave me behind I’m a dead weight
Alone in your mind when the light breaks
Girl was raped when she was sixteen
Say you’re done and you want to leave
Mother does only beg and plead
Try to hold you and you just bleed
