about

This dark and brooding track delves into the heart of grief and the feelings of a genderfluid soul in a deeply transphobic world. Swells of pain and perseverance, tension and release. Dense with cacophonous saxophones and a wailing folk rock rhythm section, Hollowed Bones is a truly potent cathartic release.

lyrics

Lyrics

Tears live suspended at the back of my throat
Held back as I swallow; hollowed bones begin to float
The burden of my body left tangled in your web
My sense of self distorted; into your mind I am fed

Finally the welling brings a wetness to my eyes
You will not keep a hold on me; I am leaving you behind
Your weight is a heavy one, but I will not be your mule
I am not your evil; No I am not your, I am not your fool

I wonder why I let you cause this scism
My mind scrambles on in discordant rhythm

I let out another moan
Feeling the eternal drone
Hands held tightly to my heart
Falling backwards into the void
Back to where we start
