Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our mission that night
Pitch black
Breath in my mouth
Hand on my back
We joked in a whisper
Boots in the mud
Hearts in our teeth
We were kids with a job
Doing more than we could believe
[Chorus]
We came home
But we never really made it back
Half of us haunted by the quiet
By the crack
Of a door
Of a memory
Of a name we can’t say
We did it well
But we’re still there anyway
Still there anyway
[Verse 2]
Photos on fridges
Faces I call
But they don’t call back
Saw them slide into bottles
Into screens
Into smoke
Into cracks
They said they were fine
“Just tired
Just need some rest”
Then one more empty chair
At the table
Another ghost in my chest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I keep that night
Folded small in my wallet
Creased and worn
But I’m the one who holds it
[low vocal register]
If they couldn’t live with the memories
I’ll live loud for the both of us
Then
Say their names in the daylight
Till I see them again
[Chorus]
Style
sparse cinematic rock with male vocals; lowpulsing bass and muted toms under hushed versesthen a wideanthemic chorus with distorted guitarschoral padsand bigroomy drums. vocals start close-mic’d and dryopening into layered harmonies and distant shouts in the hook; bridge strips back to bass and vocal before a final cathartic chorus.
