about

Well... this song was a surprise. Like truly popped out of nothing. I was thinking of a third collab but I didn't say anything because we had so much going on with school and stuff. One day she said she wrote some stuff. I swear we have this weird as hell sense about each other lol. And I did some music on it, sent her the recording. She said it was quite similar to what she heard in her mind. No biggie.
Anyways, musically we tried to come up with something with piano like a ballad maybe. We failed and failed. Then, one day I tried things with electro and guess what? The intro became my fav thing in the world. I don't wanna brag but I really can't wait for you to hear that.
As for our character, remember she was finally on the road with Reflective Glass. With this song she finally sings about her failures, dreams, and everything. She cries and finally comes face to face with some shattering realities with this song. And she screams to herself I've been through hell, just read my fucking void already!

lyrics

Pages are burning
Wet lashes under my eyes
Whispers, roses
Daydreaming is gone

Pick me up from the fire
Look at my eyes and see
The tainted, lasting

Waste your time, all of it's gone
Cross the line and tell me more

Recognition shatters me
Insubordination rises within
Read my void
Burnt like a polaroid

Read my void
Read my void
Read my void
Recognition shatters me

Lack of conversation is creeping into me
Fast and young but dying, crumbling into sin

Lack of conversation is creeping into me
Rivers feel like oceans to who I am to be
Fast and young but dying, crumbling into sin
Wake me up some time to secure the paper thin

Lack of conversation is creeping into me
Rivers feel like oceans to who I am to be
Fast and young but dying, crumbling into sin
Wake me up some time to secure the paper thin

Recognition shatters me
Insubordination rises within
Read my void
Burnt like a polaroid

Recognition shatters me
Insubordination rises within
Read my void
Burnt like a polaroid

Recognition shatters me
Insubordination rises within
Read my void
Burnt like a polaroid
