about

Written to be performed by Erika's band, Working Breed, this is the most recent of songs Denis has penned, touching on many conflicting feelings that arise for patients facing cancer while generalizing to anyone who struggles to tear down the walls they themselves build.

lyrics

EVERY TIME I SLAM THAT DOOR
I REALLY WANT TO GO TO WAR
BUT THERE’S NO ENEMY IN FRONT OF ME
SO I VILIFY YOUR SOUL
TO SANCTIFY MY OWN
AND THAT’S A RECIPE YOU GET FROM ME
IF YOU EVER WANT TO BE THAT DUMB
IF YOU EVER WANT FEEL THAT NUMB

CAUSE WHEN I TURN MY BACK ON YOU
I REALLY TURN IT ON ME TOO
OH AND YOU KNOW I NEVER SEE IT COME
DID I COME IN HERE TO HIDE
CAUSE WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE
IS EVERY THING I WANT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IM HIDING FROM
OR WHY I ALWAYS WAIT THIS LONG

HIDING FROM YOU HIDING FROM ME
HIDING FROM TRUE LOVE AND EVERY THING I WANT
HIDING FROM TRUTH HIDING FROM PAIN
HIDING FROM FORGIVENESS ‘TIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

BEYOND THE HEARTACHE AND THE HARM
BESIDE A STILL SMALL VOICE OF CALM
AND THEN I HEAR YOU SAY

DON’T THROW AWAY TRUE LOVE
YOU’LL NEVER GET IT BACK
