about

This song encapsulates the struggle to connect with a lover, and seeing the cracks within their heart and the cracks in their hands in the dead of winter.

This song was originally released on the Lotus in the Muck EP in 2014 and was recreated with the full Superior Siren band.

lyrics

I felt the unsettling cracking of your hands / Desecrated
by work and warfare / The red break between air and
water / Grips tightly / Faint loneliness / It has been a
while since I have seen a man without armor, without
savor / The light shines and freckles skin / The one who
said they would never win / Grips tightly / Faint loneliness
