about

A lot has happened since the release of our debut EP. Some big decisions have been made as well as some significant changes to lifestyles.

This song tells of a house no longer being a home. The breakdown and subsequent death of significant relationships beneath the all-consuming shadow of guilt and regret.

'Bastion' took shape during the pandemic and as a stand alone single, acts as a time stamp for when the world fell into darkness.

lyrics

Another disaster in the making,
Before the paint's dried on the last mistake,
Our delicate hearts weren't made for breaking,
But you are the ghost, that I've made,
You are the price I've pay.

Tear up, the roots beneath us,
Burn down the walls around us,
Peeled back to bricks and mortar,
I promise, this won't hurt.

Tear up, the roots beneath us,
Burn down the walls around us,
Peeled back to bricks and mortar,
We've salted the earth.

Unsinkable our song,
But I sank like a stone,
If these walls could talk,
Then I'd tear out their tongues.
Empty bastions, no longer our home,
We wandered like royalty without a throne.

This will hurt you, but it's haunting me.

You are the ghost that I've made,
I rattled the cage and now the earth will shake.
You are the price that I've paid,
I rattled the cage and now the earth will shake.
