lyrics

Hindsight is failing
And what’s left is no perspective.
False friends or companions,
I can’t see or tell the difference.
But who are you to blame
When bad faith knocks on the door?
On your door.

It’s too late to climb that maze
And keep your warmth.

(CHORUS)
So worried about your head
You forgot about the lies.
It’s not the words you’ve said.
It’s what you didn’t say at all, and never will.

“It’s all lies, it’s all lies, it’s all lies” you’re feigning.
It’s all right, it’s all right,
To nose dive on faking.

Run out the door and strike a match,
Burn the whole forest down.
Get on your knees, inhale the ash,
Yell out till you’re found.
Lift up your eyes and hear your cries.
No one is around, they’re not around.

(CHORUS)
So worried about your head
You forgot about the lies.
It’s not the words you’ve said.
It’s what you didn’t say at all, and never will.

Get out of my head.

(Outro)
So worried about your head
You forgot about the lies.
It’s not the words you’ve said.
It’s what you didn’t say at all, and never will.

about

Greet the Sea Seattle, Washington

Seattle native band, Greet the Sea, emerged in late 2015 as the culmination of sonic expression between four friends. Blending sweeping soundscapes, drum-heavy grooves, anthemic crescendos, and grounded melodic vocals the quartet’s sound is akin to their region of rainy weather, lush earthy colors, and foggy coastal highways. ... more
