about

First demo from Flanders in a year and a half.

lyrics

Falling backwards to take back words I never wrote
I wouldn't call this a breakthrough
I'll remember this day when the air was thin
And my head it felt so cold
Guess I'll never keep warm without you

Alone on your island everything's great
I'm not in the background to get in your way
In the silence of nothing I hope it all tastes
As sweet as you'd prayed

You were always back and forth
Like the ocean turning tides
Shifting pace all of the time
And when I felt you up close you still felt far away
I guess I always knew my place
On the side of nothing

Alone on your island everything's great
I'm not in the background to get in your way
In the silence of nothing I hope it all tastes
As sweet as you'd prayed
