"'To Let You Down' is one of the heaviest tracks on the record, addressing a painful situation where loved ones rejected me due to their political and religious beliefs about my sexuality. That situation triggered me to feel guilt and shame, although all I did was openly be myself. With its fast pace and dark intensity, this song encapsulates the emotional impact that ordeal had on me. It’s quickly become a band favorite, and we can’t wait to perform it live!"

"To Let You Down"

There’s always fear of the unknown
But how can you fear one of your own?
Forbid me not forbidden love
Forsake me not for those above

The wildfire in the steady flame
The thunder in the gentle rain
The flicker of light in the darkness you sow
The rebel soul, the one you’ll never know

My blood is ink, my heart a page
Why’d I have to put it in a cage?
Oh, what have I done to let you down?

Just a black sheep cast aside
I’m the one you crucified
The rough wave in your calm sea
The free bird in your gilded tree
What have I done to let you down?
What have I done to let you down?

I am the jagged stone in your smooth path
The thorn among the roses, a shadow that lasts

The wildfire in the steady flame
The thunder in the gentle rain
The flicker of light in the darkness you sow
The rebel soul, the one you’ll never know

My blood is ink, my heart a page
Why’d I have to put it in a cage?
Oh, what have I done to let you down?

Just a black sheep cast aside
I’m the one you crucified
The rough wave in your calm sea
The free bird in your gilded tree
What have I done to let you down?
What have I done to let you down?

I am the jagged stone in your smooth path

Just a black sheep cast aside
I’m the one you crucified
The rough wave in your calm sea
The free bird in your gilded tree
What have I done to let you down?
What have I done to let you down?

The wildfire in the steady flame
The thunder in the gentle rain
The flicker of light in the darkness you sow
The rebel soul, the one you’ll never know

My blood is ink, my heart a page
Why’d I have to put it in a cage?
Oh, what have I done to let you down?
