about

One of the most hard hitting songs we've written. Subject matter of domestic violence is something most people have experienced at some point in their lives and can relate to. My favourite track by a long way and the best we've written so far. Enjoy but take in....

lyrics

She steps onto the crowded platform.
Her head searching for a reason why.
She knows its coming.
She runs towards it she’s running away
She reaches the front door, hair in her face.
She knows its closer.


She pushed the door open, the look on his face
He grips her and throws her to the floor.
He pulls the blinds down to muffle her screams
She screams, he drags her, a rag doll in his hands.
She knows it hurts.

She's flung, she's beaten, she is ten minutes late,
She's slapped; she’s bleeding for just ten minutes late,
Silent now but for ten minutes late,
No more now, hair in her face
She’s ten minutes late

The numbness takes over; the mist descends,
Watching herself from above, it’s not her.
It’s all over in a heartbeat, the final solution,
He’s clueless, but did not see it coming.
She’s been driven to this.

She's flung, she's beaten, she is ten minutes late,
She's slapped; she’s bleeding for just ten minutes late,
Silent now but for ten minutes late,
No more now, hair in her face
She’s ten minutes late

The breathing subsides, calm, without a care
Hands stretched out, face of inquisition.
Another blow, to end the torment of the clock
The last breath a silent apology.
She rests now…
She knows it’s over…..
She rests now…
She knows it’s over…..
