lyrics

I close my eyes
To quiet down the thoughts
Echoing in my head
Filling me with dread

I take a deep breath
To slow down my pulse
But as I stare at the empty screen
My heart starts cracking

Can’t you see how
The distance breaks me?
My fragile mind gives way
To endless tides of grey
This silence is driving me insane
I’m caught up in this pain
Am I the one to blame?

I try and wait
Impatiently
For something
I know won’t come
But I can’t set
Myself free
Ages drift
And tighten my chest
And so another one
I used to love
Has ghosted me to death

Can’t you see how
The distance breaks me?
My fragile mind gives way
To endless tides of grey
This silence is driving me insane
I’m caught up in this pain
Am I the one to blame?

I sink my roots
Into the ground
But they won’t stay
How much longer must I wait?
It seems I always end where I begin
Never moving
Just a dream within a dream

RAPHAEL AND THE THORNS is a solo project originating from the need to create dark but cathartic music with a wide range of influences, both in sound and identity. The darker undertones of the guitars, the slower tempo of the tracks, and the theatrical flair of the strings, synths and vocals make this project ideal for any who enjoy roomy, gloomy and doomy music. ... more
