about

The song details the beginnings of a recovery process, the first time you experience joy after a great loss, and the struggle to keep moving forward when its easier to just sit and way for a salvation that isn't coming.

The writing process took the song through several forms before it settled on the final version, with open chords and skittish riffs blasting through the heartfelt lyrics.

lyrics

You are not the breaker of my chains
I am not the answer to your pain
We're complex beings that are more than words and bones
We are sinners in glass houses
With a hatred that shrouded
By a lack of people at whom to throw stones
There is no joining of the flesh
When my life is such a mess
Falling apart and crashing through the glass

It's taking so long to recover
From the love turned pitch forever
The memory still hurts when I'm trying to fall asleep
We go picking stars like berries
While my clothes are feeling heavy
I feel like I'm boiling alive

I'll hide in the hollies
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
At war with my body
If its really over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober

This is just making my head ache
Spewing words without a break
I glad that I'm surrounded by these people
This is the best I've ever felt
And there's already someone else
But I'll never be ready to introduce myself

I'll hide in the hollies
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
At war with my body
If its really over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober

And I'll find solace
Out here by the pool
I think I see the dawn shining through
I find myself wishing for change, it's true
So take me to the water on the moon

If it's really over
Then I'm running out of reasons to stay sober

I'll hide in the hollies
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
At war with my body
If its really over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober
