Crywolf - gold

So many of the people around me have had an incredibly difficult last couple of years. Some of them have gone through the most emotionally challenging moments of their lives. Surrounded by so much grief, suffering and sorrow, I found myself filled with the desire to ease their pain, even just for a moment. To hold them in a place where everything else disappears, where they can finally be at peace. I realized I needed the same thing.

That's what this album is. An expression of that desire. A collection of lullabies I made for those close to me. A comedown from the insanity of OBLIVIØN, a soft moment you can escape into, one where you feel safe and known, one where time itself seems to halt and the world becomes beautifully, perfectly still.

I hope it wraps around you like a blanket. I hope it is a salve upon your wounds. I hope you can feel the warmth of its embrace, even in the midst of the apocalypse.

~ LYRICS ~

When your hands touched your face
They came back gold
Dripping from your fingertips

Unmasked, unmade
I’m so afraid, but I’m here
Dripping from your fingertips

Inside you’ll stay
Closer than my own heart
You beat in its place

Alone we lay
I’m so afraid of you
And the way that you want me

And when the salt left my eyes
You were there beside me
Tiny and naked and screaming for freedom
Your paper skin aglow

You were right
I was wrong
You shake my shoulders trying to wake me up
Good god, I’ve been so cold to you

Inside my cage
Closer than my own heart
You beat in its place

Alone we lay
I’m so afraid of you
And the way that you want me

You were right
I was wrong
You shake my shoulders trying to wake me up
Good god, I’ve been so cold to you

Inside you’ll stay
Closer than my own heart
You beat in its place
You beat in its place
