You Light The Match

Psychedelic progressive track with swirling phaser guitar arpeggios, Mellotron choirs, odd-meter drums, and a wandering bassline that shifts between 7/8 and 4/4, Analog synth drones, tape delay throws, reverse reverb, and layered tom fills create a drifting, evolving texture with expansive dynamic builds, Vocals swap between ominous whispers and angry protests

V4.5-ALL

You stacked the sticks high Right under my feet Dressed up your dishonesty Like something I’d need You poured your words like gasoline Called it love, called it fate Built us a house of paper walls Then handed me the weight Hands off my halo Don’t place it on me You made the cuts to yourself But you want me to bleed You light the match then Hide from the flame (from the flame) I ain’t your cover story I won’t shield your blame (your blame) Say it plain, say it plain I’m not taking the fall You burn your own little kingdom I’m not standing there at all You had my patience On a short little chain Gave you my silence You dressed it as grace Now every crack in the mirror Looks a lot like your face You want me clean up the scene Then disappear without trace Hands off my halo Don’t place it on me You made the cuts to yourself But you want me to bleed You light the match then Hide from the flame (from the flame) I ain’t your cover story I won’t shield your blame (your blame) Say it plain, say it plain I’m not taking the fall You burn your own little kingdom I’m not standing there at all Oh no, not at all Take your version Take your lie I’m done being Your reason why If the room ignites Let it go, let it burn I'll walk through the embers With my head held high You light the match then Hide from the flame (from the flame) I ain’t your cover story I won’t shield your blame (your blame) Say it plain, say it plain I’m not taking the fall You burn your own little kingdom I’m not standing there at all Hands off my halo Don’t place it on me You made the cuts to yourself But you want me to bleed Let it burn Let it burn Let it go
