Pain

A ragged rhythm breaks through this track, as if the heart is beating in a storm of regret and acute longing. The words are like shards of glass: bold, yet imbued with vulnerability, as if someone is standing on the edge of a cliff, demanding devotion, but deep down begging for closeness. ‘Bones of Brick’ sounds like a spell of unyielding strength, but cracks appear in a desperate plea - embrace me, show me how to be. It is a soundtrack of love, fierce but broken, where pain stretches like a shadow when no one is around. The melody haunts you, hanging in the air, heavy as an unspoken question in the dark.
