Sometimes we don't even ask how someone came to rest in such a state while we openly ridicule them~
lyrics
Have a seat, and I'll tell a story
For you, a tale of an angel dying
It starts off happy, it's starts off happy
Then she forgets how to fly
Frozen hearts and winter nights
The past is all she knows
Frozen breath and no goodbyes
Just before she crashes into the snow
No one knows why she started falling
But then, no one bothered to ask
Perhaps she was tired of flying
Perhaps she was scared of the past
I'll tell you a secret
The reason she ceased to fly
Was because she lost her wings
When she realized there was no sky
She saw through the lies, through the clouds, through her eyes
There's no window 'cause it broke, yet every day she still tries
Oh she tries not to cry, as she wishes she could fly
If ignorance is bliss, I guess knowledge is a lie
Is this what we're meant for, a life of growing old
We're told to chase our dreams, and when we follow what we're told
They shut us up, show us truth, tell us there's no hope for dreaming
So the angels lose their wings, left to plummet as they scream
For a way to escape this tortured life we create
This tortured mind we can't escape, we've no hope of being saved
Because our minds are never ours, we could daydream here for hours
But we're too tired to close our eyes, eating up all their lies
Oh we try not to cry, as we wish we could fly
And I try not die, try to recollect the sky
But it's gone now, I take a breath, forgetting I can't breath
So the angels close their wings, left to plummet as they scream
Save me
Polish pianist plays a "silent song of hope" to benefit the people of Ukraine, simultaneously intense, cathartic, and soothing. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2022
Awesome album from start to finish. PW's destinctive style is present throughout, but every track is a fresh effort, and the album successfully transitions from driving rock to mellow contemplation without sounding forced or rehashed. I'm not as big of a fan of the remixes, but I appreciate their inclusion and unique perspective. Hard to ask for more than 16 tracks with no skips! theCANderson
