Record Tracklist

  1. Slowly Break -:-- / -:--

And then sometimes you blink
And it’s been years
When did I last hear my own abandoned laughter?
Walking unaware on glistening shards
Where do you start
With something so shattered?

It used to be a shiny hopeful thing
Tossed and heaved on unforgiving seas with no reprieve
And that is how you slowly break a heart

And then sometimes you just do what you know
Keep casting your hope out on a lifeless ocean
You tell yourself it’s just the way it is
Because how do you fix something so broken?

There was a time
It pulsed and beat with life
Running hard each day only to find I’m still behind
And that is how you slowly break a heart

I used to be eager to believe any dream that promised falsely it could set me free
And that is how you slowly break a heart

And then sometimes a memory rushes back
You already have all you need within you
You take a long breath in and let it go
This is the moment everything begins new
