about

Crimson Pain is the third single and the sixth track off the band's debut album, The Upstairs Room, which will be released in 2022. The song is a personal favorite of mine and holds special meaning as do most of my songs because it comes from a personal place. I don't want to give away exactly what the song is about but it's probably not too hard to figure out based on the lyrics. Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more.

lyrics

I stand atop
The bleeding ground
No words no image no sound
All I have has been torn away
When you’re not with me all is gray
Sharp and open leave me alone
Your hands are frozen cold like stone
Waiting in the cold light
A noise a scream tears through the night
Crimson Pain my heart explodes
Like an old cracked doll, you haunt and goad
Your name like ice in my heart
Why can’t we just restart
Your name like ice in my heart
Why can’t we just restart
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
You shatter me with your eyes of ice
I feel frigid and cold without you
You splinter me with your eyes of vice
I feel rigid and old without you
All I want is for you to know
Who I really am
Who I really am
Your name like ice in my heart
Why can’t we just restart
Your name like ice in my heart
Why can’t we just restart
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
Give up the light take on the night
I will surrender and I will burn this all away
I will surrender and I will burn this all away
