about

You Were There is an attempt to understand and process fear. Can we ever move past our insecurities if we won’t first acknowledge them? It’s a rally for ourselves. A reminder to abandon self-consciousness, whether people are looking or not.

lyrics

Desperate, to feel it
Peripheral blindness
Awareness abandoned
Embracing the silence
Without Shame, Without Fear
Constant, the dwelling
On voices careening
Around me, they gather
Empty phrases lingering

With careless pride
Their voices rise, self glorify
There comes your touch You reach, you must
Don’t waste it

Endless, I realize
The power I give it
A river consuming,
A constant force parading on
Oh will it determine,
the way I look upon myself
Or trickle around me
feeble whispers floating on

With careless pride
Their voices rise, self glorify
There comes your touch
You reach, you must
Don’t waste it

Without shame this time, this time, yea yea x2
Chorus
With careless pride
Their voices rise, self glorify There comes your touch
You reach, you must
To hold me fast
Screeching claims, cryptic cries Don’t waste it
(In the Chorus Pocket Groups) Waiting - Watching
Saying - Nothing
